På dagen 60 år efter München har det varit en dag för att minnas. Manchester United ordnade en fin minnesceremoni på Old Trafford medan supportrar organiserade en ceremoni på olycksplatsen i München. Dessutom befinner sig Uniteds U19-lag i Belgrad och olyckan uppmärksammades även där.
I den här artikeln har vi samlat ihop lite av det ena och det andra från dagen.

In the cold snow of Munich, they laid down their lives
But they live on forever in our hearts and our minds
So come all supporters and hold your heads high
For Manchester United will never die.#FlowersOfManchester pic.twitter.com/0yXWw9kUQv— Manchester United (@ManUtd) February 6, 2018
Old Trafford, Manchester
Manchester United öppnade Old Trafford för en minnesceremoni, som lockade runt 4500 människor. Sir Bobby Charlton och Harry Gregg, som båda överlevde olyckan, var givetvis på plats, tillsammans med många släktingar till de som dog i München. Sir Alex Ferguson närvarade också, liksom dagens a-lag, med José Mourinho och Michael Carrick i spetsen. Ungdomslag och reservlag var också där, likaså många före detta spelare. Självklart närvarade också många supportrar.

München
På olycksplatsen i München arrangerade Unitedsupportrar en ceremoni. Denis Irwin representerade United på plats medan Bayern München och staden München också hade representanter närvarande. Uppskattningsvis 1500-2000 supportrar hade tagit sig till München för att visa sin respekt.

Belgrad
Manchester United var på väg hem från Belgrad när olyckan, efter en mellanlandning i München, var framme. Busby Babes spelade 3-3 mot Crvena zvezda (Röda Stjärnan) i Belgrad den 5 februari 1958. Av en tillfällighet kom det sig att United ska spela fotboll i Belgrad imorgon, mot Brodarac i Uefa Youth League. Därmed kom det sig att Uniteds U19-lag idag befann sig i Belgrad.
Ungdomslaget uppmärksammade givetvis olyckan. Dels besöktes hotellet, där United och Röda Stjärnan festade efter 3-3-matchen. Dels besöktes Partizan Stadium (som då hette Stadion JNA, eller Jugoslaviska arméns stadion), där United spelade mot Röda Stjärnan.

Such a humbling experience to be at the Hotel Majestic in Belgrade last night as part of an emotional trip with the #MUFC Under-19s. It's going to be a sad occasion this afternoon but one I'm very proud to be part of. #FlowersofManchester pic.twitter.com/CPWgn6o8mk

Mer om Münchenolyckan
Under åren har vi producerat en hel del om Münchenolyckan. Det bästa och viktigaste samlade vi i en artikel tidigare idag.
Över på MUTV kan ni se dokumentären Munich (gratis idag om jag har förstått det hela rätt). Rekommenderas!
Rekommenderar att alla ser Munich på MUTV. Tillgänglig veckan ut. Tror att den går att se gratis idag. https://t.co/PGSuy1eUSR

Ashley Young får sista ordet
Spelartweetsen ovan är relativt lika. En spelare som gjorde något annorlunda är Ashley Young. Så vi låter honom få de sista orden.
The Munich Air Disaster is something I was always aware of growing up but in truth I didn’t understand its influence on @ManUtd until I joined the club.
— Ashley Young (@youngy18) February 6, 2018
The lows of February 1958 that ultimately led to the highs of Wembley 1968 are inspiring to every player that has the honour to pull on the United shirt.
— Ashley Young (@youngy18) February 6, 2018
Today we remember and mourn but we must also take inspiration from the response to the tragedy and people like Sir Bobby Charlton. It’s a privilege for all of us to still have him around and active at Manchester United.
— Ashley Young (@youngy18) February 6, 2018
You still sing about Sir Matt Busby and about playing football “the Busby way”. We have a duty to keep that spirit alive and keep making you proud to support this team.
— Ashley Young (@youngy18) February 6, 2018
Res med oss till Manchester!Keep the red flag flying high and join me, my team-mates, the staff at the club and millions of fans around the world in remembering The Busby Babes. The Flowers of Manchester ❤️ pic.twitter.com/2F1yQPHZzY
