The widow of Danny Jones received a standing ovation after an emotional rendition of "Abide With Me" for the Ladbroke’s Challenge Cup final.

Lizzie Jones, who is a professional singer, sang the traditional pre-match hymn as images of herself, Danny and their two eight-month-old twins were shared across the screens at Wembley Stadium.

Danny Jones collapsed four minutes into a game for Keighley against London Skolars in May. It was later found that the 29-year-old had an undetected hereditary heart condition.

His club described him as "the life and soul of the dressing room" and "a natural leader".
