Players, officials and supporters will observe a period of silence ahead of Sunderland AFC’s Premier League game against Arsenal this weekend, in recognition of the country-wide Remembrance Commemorations.
The game, which takes place on Saturday 29 October, will see over 1,000 serving military personnel, veterans groups and families of soldiers who have lost their lives in the service of their country, attend the Stadium of Light.
Supporters are reminded that, as is tradition in Remembrance commemorations a silence will be held, not a period of applause.
The fixture is a 12.30pm kick off and all supporters are kindly asked to take their seats early to ensure that the silence is observed in the appropriate manner.
