A minute's silence has been held at a football match in tribute to the victims of last weekend's crash between Barnsley and Wakefield.
Shane Roller, Shannen Morgan and their 2 young daughters Lillie and Rubie were all killed, leaving behind an 11-year-old daughter who wasn't involved in the crash.
Their local football club Athersley Rec paid tribute at their opening match of the season last night:
The family lived near to the ground, and Shannen’s brother is a volunteer at the club.
There were also collection buckets going round the crowd to raise money for the daughter and to help with funeral costs. An online fundraiser has now raised more than ÂŁ380,000.
Husband and wife Christopher and Janine Barton were also killed in the crash last Sunday. They were riding a motorbike which was in collision with a car on the A61.
