Little hero Bradley Lowery was the England Mascot for their World Cup qualifier against Lithuania this afternoon.
The five-year old was invited by The FA to walk out with the players at Wembley, following on from serving as mascot for his beloved Sunderland.
Bradley has appeared on numerous occasions as a mascot for The Black Cats as his family have tried to raise funds for the youngster to get treatment in America for the rare cancer.

Sunderland's in-form Jermain Defoe received his first England call-up since 2013 who has struck an adorable friendship with Bradley.
Defore carried him out for their Premier League clash against Everton last month. And the pair are reunited on the international scene.
Bradley, from Blackhall Colliery in County Durham, has become a huge hit with the British public thanks to his immense bravery and incredible smile.
