More than 7,000 spectators observe as Milton Keynes Dons marks Remembrance

Milton Keynes Dons held its annual Remembrance service prior to the League One fixture against Doncaster Rovers on Saturday (October 31).

The service started with a presentation of wreaths, before a bugler played The Last Post.

A two-minute silence was observed by the crowd of more than 7,700 spectators, before the Reveille was played.

Stadium announcer Trevor Marshall read the Exhortation and the Kohima Epitaph as part of the service, before the Armed Forces personnel marched off the pitch to applause from the crowd.

At half-time in the match, which the Dons won 6-1, there was a parade by Armed Forces personnel around the edge of the pitch.

Dignitaries in attendance included Milton Keynes Mayor Paul Trendall.
