WREXHAM AFC has honoured Remembrance Sunday and Armistice Day before today's League One fixture against Mansfield Town (November 9).

Ahead of Remembrance Day tomorrow (November 10), the Reds upheld a national tradition by holding a one minute silence to remember the service and sacrifices made during the war.

Members of the Armed Forces abseiled off the Macron Stand onto the pitch, before giving the match ball to the referees.

Both Wrexham AFC and Mansfield Town teams stood united as players and fans honoured those who risked and lost their lives for their country.

Volunteers of the Royal British Legion sold poppies outside the Racecourse during the match build-up to raise money for the charity in their annual fundraising campaign.

The Wrexham AFC shop is also selling poppy pin badges with all proceeds going towards the RBL's work in supporting the Armed Forces community.

A service will be held in Wrexham at Bodhyfryd tomorrow (November 10), starting at 10.55. At 10.59am a bugler will sound the ‘Last Post’ and the two-minute silence will be observed.
