Smile for Joel: Pep Guardiola shows support for Tunisia terror victim
Sporting stars donned wristbands in memory of three Tunisia terror attack victims from the Black Country – as the second anniversary dawned.
Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola, England defender Phil Jagielka and retired Manchester United captain Paul Ince were among stars photographed wearing Smile for Joel bands at an event.
The charity was set up in memory of 19-year-old Joel Richards, who was killed in Tunisia in June 2015 along with his uncle Adrian Evans and grandfather Patrick Evans.
Joel's younger brother Owen, who was 16 at the time of the attack, survived.
He has set up the Smile for Joel charity along with his mother Suzy.
The stars were pictured in the wristbands at the Icons of Football golf tournament at The Belfry earlier this week.
Former England footballer Jimmy Bullard said: "Great night with @PJags6 and the chaps @Smileforjoel1".
The second anniversary of the terror attack was marked on Monday.
A post on the Smile for Joel Facebook page said: "Two years ago today the world changed for all of us, going on holiday, drinking with friends, going to a concert or just taking a stroll across a bridge were all normal safe things to do.
"Today we remember Tunisia. We remember the 38 innocent holiday makers cruelly murdered and the many injured.
"Joel, Ade and Pat were three of most genuine, loyal and respected guys around.
"Those that knew them personally feel honoured to have shared their lives, honoured to have been blessed to have those special memories that can never be taken and will never be forgotten...
"Our thoughts are with all the heartbroken bereaved families and survivors and to a young man who let's not forget was just 16 at the time.
"Smile for Joel is not just a charity, it's a legacy in their name and in their honour, please help us to continue their legacy."
