St Johnstone Football Club has joined communities across the country in paying tribute to those who made the ultimate sacrifice, as we marked Remembrance across a number of events over the past week.
The club’s commemorations began on Saturday afternoon, ahead of our William Hill Premiership fixture against Dundee at McDiarmid Park.
Supporters, players and officials came together for a special pre-match Remembrance service, with wreaths laid on the pitch before the Last Post was played. A minute’s silence was then observed ahead of kick-off, while our first-team players also wore poppies on their shirts during the match.
On Tuesday, November 10, club owner and chairman Adam Webb, Chief Executive Francis Smith and General Manager Roddy Grant represented St Johnstone at Perth and Kinross Council’s Remembrance ceremony, joining members of the local community in paying their respects.
Today, Wednesday, November 11, the club’s commemorations continued with a special Remembrance service held inside McDiarmid Park.
Led by club chaplain David Barrie, the service took place shortly before 11am, with supporters also invited to attend as we paused to remember the fallen.
St Johnstone would like to thank everyone who joined us at McDiarmid Park and those who represented the club at the various commemorative events.
We will remember them.
