Get your poppy`s in your lapels.
Saturday's game against Birmingham City will be our Remembrance fixture and we will joined by servicemen and their families as we pay our respects to all those who have lost their lives in the name of our great country.
We will be holding a minute's silence before kick-off, followed by the Last Post. Wreaths will also be laid by the team captains.We will joined by Sedgefield Village Veterans, The Parachute Regimental Association, The Teesside Branch and the Middlesbrough Airborne Veterans, Tickets For Troops, and 243 Provost Company, 1st Regiment Royal Military Police, the only RMP Reserve unit in the North East of England.
We are also joined by former fusilier Tommy in the Legends Lounge. Tommy will celebrate his 101st birthday early next year.
We will be further showing our support for the Armed Forces community, with all players bearing the poppy on their shirts in the upcoming game against Birmingham City. The match-worn shirts will be made available to purchase in a live auction straight from kick-off, with proceeds going to the Royal British Legion.
The poppy is the enduring symbol of remembrance for those who have made the ultimate sacrifice for our country and also for those who continue to defend and improve our way of life today. This resilient flower flourished in the midst of destruction, becoming a symbol of hope and a peaceful future.
This year marks the centenary of the Royal British Legion. For 100 years the Royal British Legion has cared for our active and retired service personnel and their families by supporting them in a variety of ways.
