One hundred young footballers have taken part in a tournament in memory of Leeds anti-gun campaigner Pat Regan who was stabbed to death.

Mother-of-six Mrs Regan, 53, was found dead at a property in the Hyde Park area in May. Her grandson Rakeim Regan, 20, has been charged with murder.

Her campaign against gun crime started after her son Danny, 25, was shot dead in 2002 in Merseyside.

Her son Shane Fenton attended the Archway Trophy tournament.

Mrs Regan had been a high-profile spokeswoman against gun crime and met government officials to discuss how to tackle the problems of guns and gang-related crime.

Football tournament organiser Pervas Ahmed said the event was intended to raise awareness of the growing weapons culture.

"Pat was well known, admired and liked by the young people and staff at Archway.

"The message that we want to reiterate is that life is something to be valued and that there is support out there for young people if they need to talk to someone."

They need a weapons culture. They have a crime culture.

how on EARTH did a culture like this rule half the known world at one time in history?!

shouldnt they be anti knife.

Actually, they have very draconian laws on knives now. All of my pocket knives are now illegal over there since they are locking blades. Evil black knives are now the weapon of choice. The police now have the power to randomly stop and search anyone they want, no probable cause, just because they fele like it.

I lived there for 5 years back in the 80's, and travel over a couple of times a year for business now. It's really sad what a true nation of sheeple they have become, once the mightiest empire the world had ever known.

How ironic, gun or knife bans don't work.

53 year old with a 20 year old grandson? Really?

You next President is over here today … he may come home with some new ideas on gun control – be sacred – be very scared … you have been warned!

I guess Mrs. Regan forgot about home schooling. Where were the police that she and others like her depended on protecting her?

Looks like we can all say:

"Yep! Toldja so!" on this one.

Anyone with half a brain would have suspected some contradiction like this.

[I suppose then, that's the reason I didn't thunk it?] DOH!
