Ahead of kick-off, we will be joined by serving and non-serving personel at the side of the pitch. Wreathes will be carried by Poppy Princesses, Millie Hardaker and Olivia Marshall, before being handed to the two captains and laid in the centre circle.

The Exhortation will be read by the Bishop of Manchester, the Rt Rev David Walker, and Bishop Tony Porter. The Last Post will be played by bugle before a period of silence.
