Chelsea Pensioner delights Leeds United fans by giving a Leeds salute in a procession of armed forces laying wreaths for Remembrance Day
A Chelsea Pensioner amused Leeds United fans at Carrow Road on Sunday when he gave a Leeds salute as the armed forces processed onto the pitch to lay a Remembrance Day wreath.
Two wreaths were laid at Carrow Road, one for each team, as a mark of respect to remember those who have lost their lives in the service of their country.
A minute’s silence was observed before the game kicked off, and players wore shirts adorned with the iconic poppy symbol as part of a week of Remembrance Day activity across the Premier League.
One of the Chelsea Pensioners processing for the wreath-laying amused Leeds United fans by giving a Leeds salute, thumping his chest with his fist as he made his way to the pitch.
Here’s what fans made of the gesture:
@AdzyG21: It’s these little moments that bring joy. What a man.
@LUFC_Llorente: Loved that guy.
@SavageLUFC: ALAW Lest we forget. This was more entertaining than the first half.
