With tomorrow's Women’s Super League fixture at Stamford Bridge taking place the day before Remembrance Sunday, Chelsea FC Women will, at the match, be honouring those lost in conflict.
For the commemorations leading up to kick-off against Everton Women, Chelsea Pensioners will flank the players as they walk out of the tunnel, and the Pensioners will join serving personnel from the armed forces in presenting wreaths for laying on the pitch.
The Last Post will be sounded by AS1 Scott Kempster - Band of the Royal Air Force Regiment - ahead of a moment’s silence.
Supporters are requested to please ensure you are in your seat at least 15 minutes before kick-off to join in the ceremony. The match begins at 12.45pm.
Bid for a poppy shirt to support Poppy Appeal
With support from Official Online Match Shirt Auction Partner, MatchWornShirt, the shirts with embroidered poppies from the game, worn and signed by the relevant player, will be auctioned. All net proceeds are donated to the Royal British Legion’s Poppy Appeal.
Also supporting the appeal, Chelsea badges and scarves bearing the poppy will be on sale in Megastore at Stamford Bridge.
The Chelsea men’s team dedicated home match for Remembrance was last weekend against Manchester United.
