Remembrance tribute planned before West Brom match
West Ham will mark Remembrance at Saturday's home match against West Brom, with a moment of silence before kick-off. The club says wreaths will be laid and The Last Post sounded at London Stadium.
The planned tribute also includes poppy collections, guards of honour and poppy shirts, which the club says will be auctioned afterwards for the Royal British Legion. It is a substantial matchday programme, separate from the team news ahead of the game.
