Arthur died of an "unsurvivable" brain injury at the hands of Emma Tustin after a campaign of "evil" abuse by her and his father, Thomas Hughes.

The couple were sentenced for murder and manslaughter.

Arthur's Area is a fun-filled space for young supporters to enjoy prior to kick-off.

The club contacted a local stencil artist called Disney to decorate the newly renamed area, which will have information points installed by local children's charities to help tackle child abuse.

A club statement read: "The lasting image of Arthur, shared across social media and used by a number of news outlets in recent weeks, depicts a smiling, happy boy wearing a Blues shirt, and we as a club will strive to keep that memory alive in people's hearts and minds

The memorial garden in Arthur's name at St Andrew's will be shared with supporters when the designs are finished.

Arthur was on the front cover of the match programme and the proceeds from each sale of the book will go to children's charities.

A wreath will be laid at St Andrew's tomorrow, and it says so much about our city and region the way everyone has come together in the face of such tragedy.
