“Magnificent sight although the down-draught blew my cap fly off!!
Well done do the RAF for this truly magnificent spectacle and to all at Leicester City, this act has become synonymous with our Remembrance weekend fixture and envied across the footballing world. Long may it continue.
And well done to the 'Birch' who managed just to settle those in the away corner just in time for the minute's silence.”
