Cameron Walsh, 16, died along with his 40-year-old father, Dave Walsh, on Saturday
A minute's applause has been held for a young footballer who died alongside his father when a crash left their car submerged in a waterway.
Cameron Walsh, 16, and his father, Dave Walsh, 40, died on 6 January at Tetney Lock Road.
Debbie Cook, chief executive of Grimsby Town FC, said fans had really come together after the tragedy.
"I've seen an incredible amount of love and support for one another," Ms Cook said.
"We always talk at the club about Grimsby Town being a family and in terrible times like this, people really show that."
A photo of Cameron in his Grimsby Town youth kit was printed on the front of the match day programme, and fans left flowers in the memorial garden at the League Two ground.

Cameron had been a defender for Grimsby Town's academy side, and both he and Mr Walsh have been described as "part of the [Grimsby Town FC] family".
Lincolnshire Police said the pair were pronounced dead at the scene, and tributes have been left at the crash site.
Officers have appealed for witnesses and dashcam footage of the incident, which happened at about 13:30 GMT.
