The branch of the Leicestershire and Rutland Poppy Appeal in association with the Leicester Mercury, The Royal British Legion and Leicester City Football Club organised this event. The band led out forty war veterans from the Second World War and from conflicts to the present day. The band paraded from the player's tunnel to a terrific ovation from the audience of around 30,500, which is by far, the largest number of spectators for which the band has played. The band played a number of well known pipe tunes at the same time as the veterans paraded round the stadium. Before the match started, poppy appeal collectors were collecting from around the stadium and raised a remarkable total of GBP 5,432.52 for the Poppy Appeal.
