Good evening all

Very difficult to post this but with it being the 'Memorial Game' tomorrow the time is now right.

My son Benedict James Peters aged just 25, died very suddenly following a heart attack on the 12th November. He was a season card holder since 2005 in CB Level 3 block 325 row R, along with myself, his two brothers and his Grandma. Tomorrow is our first game back as a full family and the pain and sorrow will be unfathomable.

Ben's funeral was on the 13th December in Heald Green. It was a huge turnout, with City and blue being a recurring theme throughout the day. The attached photo was a central part of the service literature, taken after winning the title against Villa in May. Ben went on the pitch on his own and someone out there took the photo. I'd like to thank the person who took this terrific photo which now means so much to us. Does anyone know who took the photo and Ben Etihad.pngthe two lads in the photo to Ben's right ? No, it's not Steve Bruce with highlights.

Best regards to all for 2023, Ben's Dad
 
Bloody hell blue.

I'll toast your boy tomorrow, hope you get through the day without too much pain.
 
Absolutely devastating for you all. My son is 26 and wears the same shirt. I send my heartfelt condolences. What a great lad. It shines through the photograph

So very sorry for your loss. I can't imagine what your family's been going through.

That’s a great picture of Ben, he looks so happy. I hope you find the photographer, I'm sure they'll be touched by how important the photo they took has become for you.

Thinking of you and your family tomorrow. I hope the pain of being there without him is softened a little by being somewhere he loved, one of many places you can be with your memories of him.

RIP Ben.
 
RIP Ben. So sorry for your and your families loss Bens Dad. That is a brilliant photo and his personality shines out. Will be thinking of you tomorrow mate.
 
So sorry for your loss blue, your pain I can't even comprehend.
RIP Ben, taken far too soon.
 
My son is also called Ben and a blue through and through I cannot imagine losing him and the pain that no parent should have suffer loosing a child however old Like others have alluded to the joy of Ben shines through in the picture My thoughts will be with you and your family tomorrow especially during the memorial before KO and I will watch out for his name RiP Ben
 
Lovely words Steve and knowing you and Ben my thoughts have been with you these last few weeks.
My memory of Ben with City was our trip to Barcelona to see the blues and you trusted me to look after him at the match after drinking 10 pints of Estrella..
A lovely young man from a lovely family.
Take care mate
Chris.
 
In time he should have been taking his own children to see City play. His photo shows the joy he found in City and the joy he brought to others.
Rest in Peace.
