A week after our hugely successful trip to Manchester to see Man City v Barcelona we can look back on the fond memories with a selection of photos and videos taken over the two days.

Many thanks to Ian Ross and Cameron Mackenzie for their contributions to the galleries below. The first was taken at the Etihad Stadium and features two videos: one of the two teams emerging from the tunnel to the Champions’ League music while the second is footage of Kevin De Bruyne’s sensational freekick to put Man City ahead in the game.

The final gallery features photos taken at Old Trafford, home of Manchester United.

Final and grateful thanks to Mr Craig Ross who organised the trip; a superb effort which was much appreciated by all who attended.
