As we mark 80 years since the end of World War II, Molineux will pay its respects ahead of Sunday’s dedicated Remembrance fixture against Burnley.
The Molineux fixture is the Old Gold’s closest to Remembrance Sunday (9th November), allowing all inside the stadium to honour the service and sacrifice of the Armed Forces who defended our way of life then, as well as those continuing to do so today.
In attendance at Molineux on Sunday will be miliary representatives from the army, navy and RAF, as well as the traditional bugler.
Once the players, officials and military personnel have left the Molineux tunnel, the centre circle will provide the area of focus, with ten seconds of silence being signalled by the referee’s whistle, before the bugler will play the Last Post on the centre spot, as is customary before Remembrance fixtures.
Around Molineux, four Wolves poppy corner flags will be in position, while a large poppy banner will fill the centre circle and then be held up by the ball assistants ahead of the teams entering the pitch.
Like in previous seasons, Remembrance tributes are in conjunction with the Royal British Legion, with Premier League clubs paying tribute to the Armed Forces Community by supporting the Legion.
The poppies on each Wolves and Burnley shirt provide a sign of respect and remembrance and it’s a gesture which has seen Premier League clubs raise more than £5 million through shirt auctions since 2012.
The money raised through donations helps the Royal British Legion provide vital support to the Armed Forces community all year round.
The Wolves poppies shirts worn on Sunday, as well as in upcoming away games at Fulham and Chelsea, will become available for auction via britishlegion.org.uk.
