A HEREFORD Bull will be paraded at Wembley ahead of Hereford FC's FA Vase final next month.

Hawkesbury Ronaldo will be given special pre-match access after owners Westons received permission from the Football Association.

The news was confirmed by the Much Marcle cidermakers this morning after The Sun reported that the unusual request had been granted on Friday.

It is not thought, however, that he will be allowed on the hallowed turf.

As reported by the Hereford Times in March, the Herefordshire Football Association - on behalf of Hereford FC - were investigating the possibility of having Hawkesbury Ronaldo at the showpiece event.

The Champion Bull - part of the Henry Weston Bounds Poll Heard - was paraded around Edgar Street prior to Hereford FC's historic first league match against Dunkirk last August.
