## Summary

A 14-year-old boy has handed himself in to police after a video appeared to show him using a photograph of Bradley Lowery to taunt Sunderland supporters at Coventry City’s Premier League match against Sunderland. The incident has prompted an investigation and renewed calls for respectful behaviour at football matches.

Bradley, a Sunderland fan, died aged six in 2017 after living with neuroblastoma, a rare childhood cancer. His mother, Gemma Lowery, said the image was a favourite memory and that using it to mock supporters was heartbreaking; she asked people not to direct hatred at the boy and urged his family to help him understand the harm caused. Coventry said it was investigating and does not tolerate offensive behaviour.
