Three generations of one Sheffield United family have flown 10,000 miles from Australia to watch their team's Championship play-off final.

Tony Donnellan, along with his dad Tom and son Jack, touched down at Heathrow on Thursday, ahead of the Blades' match against Sunderland at Wembley on Saturday.

Tom emigrated from South Yorkshire to Perth in 1982 when Tony was aged just eight.

But the family always kept in touch with their roots and remained Sheffield United supporters down under.

While 76-year-old Tom managed to get to a game at Bramall Lane two years ago, Tony has not been back to the UK for 43 years. Jack, who is 23, is visiting his dad's native country for the first time.

Tony, 51, said: "I'm just buzzing. It's unbelievable to be here and we can't wait for the game.

"We always said if we made it to a final at Wembley we'd come back for it. My old man thought he'd missed the boat, but when we got to the final I said to him, "get packing".

"The first pub we got into in London was full of Sunderland fans so we had to bail out of that one pretty quickly! It was all red-and-white, but the wrong sort of red-and-white!"

Tony Donnellan

Tom, who was a welder by trade, took his family to Australia as industry in Sheffield hit hard times in the early 1980s.

Tony then followed his dad into welding and even ended up becoming his father's boss.

Although following their team's results was hard in the early years after they emigrated, the internet and technological advances made it easier more recently.

"When we first went to Australia we obviously couldn't watch any of the games, but now we can get SUTV (Sheffield United's in house TV channel) over there," Tony added.

"I've started to follow the (Sheffield United-supporting) Blades Ramble podcast in the last couple of years and you feel a bit more engaged with it now, because you're part of a community rather than just watching games by yourself at three o'clock in the morning.

"My old man lives in a part of Perth called Little England and he goes drinking with some of the Pommie couples who live around there, so we still feel connected to England."

A one-year-old girl has suffered life-changing injuries to her face and two adults have been seriously hurt after a dog attack in Greater Manchester.

Air ambulance crews attended after the incident in Baslow Road, Denton, at about 17:50 BST on Thursday.

All three victims, including a 21-year-old woman and a 53-year-old man, had been taken to hospital where they were receiving treatment for injuries that were not believed to life-threatening, police said.

The dog had been seized by officers and "humanely destroyed", Greater Manchester Police said.

The force has launched an investigation.

Det Supt Gareth Jenkins said: "This was an awful attack that has left a one-year-old girl with serious and life-changing injuries.

"Her family are understandably incredibly distressed by what happened here last night."

They are appealing for information and footage from anyone in the area.

Train passengers heading to see two West Country rugby teams play in Cardiff are being urged to allow extra time for their journeys.

Bristol Bears will take on Bath Rugby at the Principality Stadium in Cardiff on Saturday.

Great Western Railway (GWR) said an extra 10,000 train seats had been provided as a result.

GWR Director of Operations Richard Rowland said the service is expected to be busy despite services being reservation only.

"We advise people to travel early and check before you travel. A queueing system will also be in place at Cardiff station after the game, ensuring people can board their train safely," he added.

Tributes will be paid to Wolves fans who have died over the past year during the club's match against Tottenham Hotspur.

More than 200 friends and family members will appear on the Molineux's screens at half-time and in Sunday's matchday programme.

Among those being remembered is Steve Plant, who died from a heart attack last year and raised thousands of pounds for charity.

The popular fan was known for collecting Wolves memorabilia, converting his garage into a museum and described by the club as "one of our own".

Football coach Chris Gill, who died aged 56 from a cardiac arrest, will also be remembered during the game.

Mr Gill's wife Sharon and son Harry raised more than £4,700 for defibrillators after they were told by medics he may have survived if life-saving equipment was available nearby.

Joe Anderson

Wolves advised that those who wished to watch the montage video should remain in their seats during half-time.

"This memorial is a way for the club and fans to remember and celebrate the lives of members of the Wolves family who are no longer with us," a spokesperson for the club said.

The Vatican has released the order of service ahead of the funeral of Pope Francis on Saturday in St Peter's Square.

The booklet, published on the Vatican's website, is 87 pages long and contains the service in English, Italian and Latin.

There are also sections in several other languages including French and Portuguese.

• Live updates: World leaders in Rome for Pope's funeral
• A visual guide to the funeral
• Pope Francis' funeral is chance for 'brush-by' diplomacy
• The famous faces that will be in Rome

Thousands of mourners have been queuing to say a final goodbye before the service takes place at 10:00 local time (09:00 BST).

THE INTRODUCTORY RITES

Entrance Antiphon

Eternal rest grant unto him, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon him.

Praise is due to you in Sion, O God. To you we pay our vows in Jerusalem.

You who hear our prayer. To you all flesh will come.

Our evil deeds are too heavy for us, but only you can pardon our transgressions.

Blessed the one whom you choose and call to dwell in your courts.

We are filled with the good things of your house, of your holy temple.

In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.

Peace be with you.

And with your spirit.

Penitential Act

Brethren, let us acknowledge our sins,

and so prepare ourselves to celebrate the sacred mysteries.

I confess to almighty God and to you, my brothers and sisters, that I have greatly sinned, in my thoughts and in my words, in what I have done and in what I have failed to do, through my fault, through my fault, through my most grievous fault; therefore I ask blessed Mary ever-Virgin, all the Angels and Saints, and you, my brothers and sisters, to pray for me to the Lord our God.

May almighty God have mercy on us, forgive us our sins, and bring us to everlasting life.

Collect

Let us pray.

O God, immortal shepherd of souls, look on your people's prayers and grant that your servant Pope Francis, who presided over your Church in charity, may, with the flock entrusted to his care, receive from your mercy the reward of a faithful steward.

Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, God, for ever and ever.

THE LITURGY OF THE WORD

First Reading

'He is the one appointed by God to be judge of the living and the dead.'

A reading from the Acts of the Apostles

In those days:

Peter opened his mouth and said:

'Truly I understand that God shows no partiality,

but in every nation anyone who fears him and does what is right

is acceptable to him.

As for the word that he sent to Israel,

preaching good news of peace through Jesus Christ –

he is Lord of all –

you yourselves know what happened throughout all Judea,

beginning from Galilee after the baptism that John proclaimed:

how God anointed Jesus of Nazareth

with the Holy Spirit and with power.

He went about doing good

and healing all who were oppressed by the devil,

for God was with him.

And we are witnesses of all that he did

both in the country of the Jews and in Jerusalem.

They put him to death by hanging him on a tree,

but God raised him on the third day and caused him to appear,

not to all the people

but to us who had been chosen by God as witnesses,

who ate and drank with him after he rose from the dead.

And he commanded us to preach to the people

and to testify that he is the one appointed by God

to be judge of the living and the dead.

To him all the prophets bear witness

that everyone who believes in him

receives forgiveness of sins through his name.'

The word of the lord.

Thanks be to God.

Responsorial Psalm

The Lord is my shepherd; there is nothing I shall want.

Fresh and green are the pastures where he gives me repose.

Near restful waters he leads me; he revives my soul.

He guides me along the right path,

for the sake of his name.

Though I should walk in the valley of the

shadow of death, no evil would I fear, for you are with me.

Your crook and your staff will give me comfort.

You have prepared a table before me in the sight of my foes.

My head you have anointed with oil;

my cup is over flowing.

Surely goodness and mercy shall follow

me all the days of my life.

In the Lord's own house shall I dwell for

length of days unending.

Second Reading

A reading from the Letter of Saint Paul to the Philippians

Brothers and sisters,

our citizenship is in heaven, and from it we await a Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ, who will transform our lowly body to be like his glorious body, by the power that enables him even to subject all things to himself.

Therefore, my brothers and sisters, whom I love and long for, my joy and crown, stand firm thus in the Lord, my beloved.

The word of the Lord.

Thanks be to God.

Acclamation before the Gospel

This is the will of my Father, says the Lord, everyone who believes in the Son should have eternal life, and I will raise him up on the last day.

Gospel

The Lord be with you.

And with your spirit.

A reading from the holy Gospel according to John.

Glory to you, O Lord.

When Jesus had revealed himself to his disciples and they had finished breakfast, Jesus said to Simon Peter, 'Simon, son of John, do you love me more than these?' He said to him, 'Yes, Lord; you know that I love you.' He said to him, 'Feed my lambs.'

He said to him a second time, 'Simon son of John, do you love me?' He said to him, 'Yes, Lord; you know that I love you.' He said to him, 'Tend my sheep.'

He said to him the third time, 'Simon, son of John, do you love me?' Peter was grieved because he said to him the third time, 'Do you love me?' and he said to him, 'Lord, you know everything; you know that I love you.' Jesus said to him, 'Feed my sheep. Truly, truly, I say to you, when you were young, you used to dress yourself and walk wherever you wanted but when you are old, you will stretch out your hands, and another will dress you and carry you where you do not want to go.' (This he said to show by what kind of death he was to glorify God.)

And after saying this he said to him, 'Follow me.'

The Gospel of the Lord.

Praise to you, Lord Jesus Christ.

THE LITURGY OF THE EUCHARIST

Offertory Chant

Give light to my eyes lest I fall asleep in death; lest my enemy say, 'I have prevailed over him'.

Pray, brethren,

that my sacrifice and

yours may be acceptable to God, the almighty Father.

May the Lord accept the sacrifice at your hands

for the praise and glory of his name,

for our good and the good of all

his holy Church.

Prayer over the Offerings

Look with favour, we pray, O Lord, on

your mercy the soul of your servant Pope

Francis, and grant, we pray, that, having

been, in the midst of the human family,

an instrument of your charity and peace,

he may merit to delight in the same, for

ever with all your Saints.

Through Christ our Lord.

EUCHARISTIC PRAYER III

Preface

The Lord be with you.

And with your spirit.

Lift up your hearts.

We lift them up to the Lord.

Let us give thanks to the Lord our God.

It is right and just.

It is truly right and just, our duty and our salvation,

always and everywhere to give you thanks,

Lord, holy Father, almighty and eternal God,

through Christ our lord.

In him the hope of blessed resurrection has dawned,

that those saddened by the

certainty of dying might be consoled

by the promise of immortality to come.

Indeed for your faithful, Lord, life is

changed not ended, and, when this earthly

dwelling turns to dust, an eternal dwelling

is made ready for them in heaven.

And so, with Angels and Archangels,

with Thrones and Dominions, and with

all the hosts and Powers of heaven, we

sing the hymn of your glory, as without

end we acclaim:

You are indeed Holy, O Lord, and all you

have created rightly gives you praise,

for through your Son our Lord Jesus

Christ, by the power and working of the

Holy Spirit, you give life to all things and

make them holy, and you never cease to

gather a people to yourself, so that from

the rising of the sun to its setting a pure

sacrifice may be offered to your name.

Therefore, O Lord, we humbly implore

you: by the same Spirit graciously make

holy these gifts we have brought to you

for consecration, that they may become

the Body and Blood of your Son our

Lord Jesus Christ, at whose command

we celebrate these mysteries.

For on the night he was betrayed he him-

self took bread, and giving you thanks,

he said the blessing, broke the bread and

gave it to his disciples, saying:

Take this, all of you, and eat of it,

for this is my Body, which will be

given up for you.

In a similar way, when supper was ended,

he took the chalice, and giving you

thanks, he said the blessing, and gave the

chalice to his disciples, saying:

Take this, all of you, and drink

from it, for this is the chalice of

my Blood, the Blood of the new

and eternal covenant, which will

be poured out for you and for

many for the forgiveness of sins.

Do this in memory of me.

The mystery of faith.

We proclaim your Death, O Lord, and

profess your Resurrection until you

come again.

Therefore, O Lord, as we celebrate the

memorial of the saving Passion of your

Son, his wondrous Resurrection and

Ascension into heaven, and as we look

forward to his second coming, we offer

you in thanksgiving this holy and living

sacrifice.

Look, we pray, upon the oblation of your

Church and, recognizing the sacrificial

Victim by whose death you willed to

reconcile us to yourself, grant that we,

who are nourished by the Body and

Blood of your Son and filled with his

Holy Spirit, may become on body, one

spirit in Christ.

May he make of us an eternal offering

to you, so that we may obtain an inheritance

with your elect, especially with

the most Blessed Virgin Mary, Mother

of God, with blessed Joseph, her Spouse,

with your blessed Apostles and glorious Martyrs,

and with all the Saints,

on whose constant intercession in your

presence we rely for unfailing help.

May this Sacrifice of our reconciliation,

we pray, O Lord, advance the peace and

salvation of all the world. Be pleased to

confirm in faith and charity your pilgrim

Church on earth, with the Order

of Bishops, all the clergy, and the entire

people you have gained for your own.

Listen graciously to the prayers of this

family, whom you have summoned before you:

in your compassion, O merciful Father,

gather to yourself all your

children scattered throughout the world.

Remember your servant Pope Francis

whom you have called from this world to

yourself. Grant that he who was united

with your Son in a death like his, may

also be one with him in his Resurrection,

when from the earth he will raise up in

the flesh those who have died, and transform

our lowly body after the pattern of

his own glorious body. To our departed

brothers and sisters, too, and to all who

were pleasing to you at their passing

from this life, give kind admittance to

your kingdom. There we hope to enjoy

for ever the fullness of your glory, when

you will wipe away every tear from our

eyes. For seeing you, our God, as you are,

we shall be like you for all the ages and

praise you without end, through Christ

our Lord, through whom you bestow on

the world all that is good.

Through him, and with him, and in him,

O God, almighty Father, in the unity of

the Holy Spirit, all glory and honor is

yours, for ever and ever.

THE COMMUNION RITE

At the Saviour's command and formed

by divine teaching, we dare to say:

Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed

be thy name; thy kingdom come, thy will

be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give

us this day our daily bread, and forgive

us our trespasses, as we forgive those

who trespass against us; and lead us not

into temptation, but deliver us from evil.

Deliver us, Lord, we pray, from every

evil, graciously grant our peace in our days,

that, by the help of your mercy, we may

be always free from sin and safe from all

distress, as we await the blessed hope and

the coming of our Saviour, Jesus Christ.

For the kingdom, the power and the

glory are yours now and for ever.

Lord Jesus Christ, who said to your Apostles:

Peace I leave you, my peace I give you,

look not on our sins, but on the faith

of your Church, and graciously grant her

peace and unity in accordance with your

will.

Who live and reign for ever and ever.

The peace of the Lord be with you always.

And with your spirit.

Let us offer each other the sign of peace.

Behold the Lamb of God, behold him who takes away the sins of the world.

Blessed are those called to the supper of the Lamb.

Lord, I am not worthy that you should enter under my roof,

but only say the word and my soul shall be healed.

Communion Antiphon

Let perpetual light shine upon him, with

your Saints for ever, for you are merciful.

Out of the depths I cry to you, O Lord;

Lord, hear my voice!

O let your ears be attentive to the sound

of my pleadings.

If you O Lord, should mark iniquities,

Lord, who could stand?

But with you is found forgiveness, that

you may be revered.

I long for you, O Lord, my soul longs for

his word.

My soul awaits the Lord more than

watchmen for daybreak

More than watchmen for daybreak,

let Israel hope for the Lord.

For with the Lord there is mercy, in him

is plentiful redemption

It is he who will redeem Israel from all

its iniquities.

Like the deer that yearns for running streams,

so my soul is yearning for you, my God.

My soul is thirsting for God, the living God;

when can I enter and appear before the face of God?

My tears have become my bread, by night, by day,

as I hear it said all the day long: 'Where is your God?'

Prayer after Communion

Let us pray.

As we come to the table of your eternal banquet,

we humbly beg your mercy, Lord, for the soul of your departed servant

Pope Francis, that he may rejoice at

last in possession of the truth in which

he faithfully confirmed your people.

Through Christ our Lord.

Prayer of the Eastern Churches

(from the Funeral Office of the Byzantine Liturgy)

God of our salvation, grant rest to the soul of your servant. Lover of mankind, lead him, with the souls of the just, to the blessings of eternal life in your presence.

Guide the soul of your servant to the place of your rest, Lord, where your Saints repose, you who alone are immortal.

Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit. You are our Saviour, our God, who descended into hell and freed those imprisoned there from its pains; now grant repose to the soul of your servant.

As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be. Amen.

May the Blessed Virgin Mary, most pure and immaculate, who without loss to her virginity became the Mother of God, pray for the salvation of the soul of your

servant.

Have mercy on us, O God, in your great kindness; we beseech you, hear us and be

merciful.

Lord, have mercy.

Again, let us pray for the repose of the soul of this departed servant of God

Francis, Bishop, that he may be forgiven his every sin and failing.

Lord, have mercy.

May the Lord God lead his soul to the resting place of the righteous. Let us ask

Christ, our immortal King and God, to bestow on him the divine mercy, the

kingdom of heaven, and the forgiveness of his sins.

Hear us, Lord.

Let us pray to the Lord.

Lord, have mercy.

God of souls and of all flesh, who tram pled death underfoot, vanquished the devil and gave life to the world, grant repose to the soul of your departed Servant Francis, Bishop, in a place of light and joy, a verdant place, a place of blessedness, where suffering, pain and sorrow are no more.

Forgive every sin he committed in thought, word or deed, for you are a gracious God and a friend to mankind. No one who lives is without sin; you alone are sinless, your righteousness is eternal and your word is truth.

For you, O Christ our God, are the resurrection, the life and the repose of your Servant Francis, Bishop, who has fallen asleep. We give you glory, with your eternal Father and your Holy Spirit, who is gracious and the giver of life, now and forever.

Amen.

May your remembrance be eternal, dear brother, worthy of blessedness, never to be forgotten.

Amen.

Responsory

I know that my Redeemer lives:

on the last day I shall rise again.

And in my flesh I shall see God my saviour.

I shall see him myself, face to face and

my own eyes shall behold him.

And in my flesh I shall see God my saviour.

Within my heart this hope I cherish:

That in my flesh I shall see God my saviour.

Gracious Father, we commend to your

mercy our Pope Francis whom you

made Successor of Peter and Shepherd

of the Church, a fearless preacher of

your Word and a faithful minister of the

divine mysteries.

Welcome him, we pray, into your heavenly dwelling place,

to enjoy eternal glory with all your chosen ones.

We give you thanks, Lord,

for all the blessings that in

your goodness you bestowed upon him

for the good of your people.

Grant us the comfort of faith and the

for ever and ever.

Antiphons

May the angels lead you into paradise;

may the martyrs come and welcome you

and take you to the holy city, the new and

eternal Jerusalem.

May choirs of angels welcome you and

with Lazarus, who is poor no longer,

may you have eternal rest.

Canticle of the Blessed Virgin Mary

Lk 1: 46-55

My soul magnifies the Lord,

and my spirit rejoices in God my Saviour,

for he has looked on the humble estate of his servant.

For behold, from now on all generations will call me blessed;

for he who is mighty has done great things for me, and holy is his name.

And his mercy is for those who fear him from

generation to generation.

He has shown strength with his arm;

he has scattered the proud in the thoughts

of their hearts;

he has brought down the mighty from

their thrones and exalted those of humble estate;

he has filled the hungry with good things,

and the rich he has sent away empty.

He has helped his servant Israel,

in remembrance of his mercy,

as he spoke to our fathers, to Abraham

and to his offspring for ever.

Glory be to the Father and to the Son and

to the Holy Spirit,

as it was in the beginning, is now, and

ever shall be, world without end. Amen.
