A dance pose adopted as a tribute to a six-year-old boy who died just before Christmas has been performed by people across the region today.

Since the sudden death of Daniel Harris on December 23, thousands of Facebook users have joined the #dab4Daniel group.

It was set up by Mr Iain Moulds, a friend of Daniel's father Phil, as a way to show that people were standing shoulder-to-shoulder in support of the family.

In addition to the hundreds of photographs left by members of the public in support of the campaign, famous faces including Strictly Come Dancing winner Jay McGuiness performed their own dabs.

Daniel was a football fan and, today, supporters at Lincoln City's Sincil Bank Stadium took part in a dab ahead of the Imps' game against Forest Green Rovers.

A dab was also performed by Newark Flowserve.
