A nice touch in tragic circumstances.

The country is still very much coming to terms with the tragedy in Buncrana on Sunday night (March 20) when a family of five lost their lives after their car fell into Lough Swilly.

Tributes have been pouring in ever since the tragedy, with Davitt Walsh’s heroics garnering a lot of attention, and now another high profiled figure has shared his sympathies.

Manchester United and England captain Wayne Rooney has tweeted this message, praying for the victims.

Rooney has also retweeted the FA’s message of support after Tuesday’s terrorist attacks on Belgium.
