Seán Cox has celebrated his first birthday at home since he was attacked in the UK two years ago, with the Garda Dog Unit making a surprise visit to wish him a happy birthday.

The father of three from Dunboyne in Co Meath was attacked outside the stadium in April 2018, ahead of Liverpool’s Champions League semi-final against AS Roma.

Seán has spent the past two years undergoing intensive rehabilitation and therapy, with that set to consider for the 'foreseesable future'.

However, the Cox family celebrated a major milestone last month.

They were reunited under one roof for the first time in almost two years after Sean made a "long awaited and welcome return" to his home in Dunboyne.

Today, the Garda Dog Unit paid a special visit to Sean Cox to wish Seán a happy birthday.

Neighbours came out to their gardens to join the gardaí and Seán's family in Dunboyne in Co Meath to sing Happy Birthday to the Liverpool fan, while social distancing.

Garda dog "Grisley" also joined the celebrations.
