Schoolboy leads out teams at Wembley
14:04, 15 November 2011
Seven-year-old Aiden Phillips lived a schoolboy's dream when he led teams out at Wembley before the Four Nations Rugby League Championship.
The Westlands Primary School pupil was one of 34 mascots chosen for Saturday's tournament.
Aiden, who plays rugby for Medway Dragons, escorted players out for the day's two matches, Wales v New Zealand and England v Australia.
The games were televised live on BBC and Sky and Aiden appeared on screen as the cameras panned past the players during the national anthems.
Once his duties were completed, he joined his family who were watching proudly from the stands.
