Before Saturday’s kick-off against Rotherham there was a pause for Preston North End players and fans alike.

The club unveiled its memorial plaque to those players and staff who lost their lives in the First World War.

Situated near the Dick, Kerr Ladies memorial at Deepdale the unveiling marks 100 years since the end of WWI.

21 former first-team, reserve and amateur players lost their lives between 1914 and 198.

The plaque, unveiled by representatives from the Fourth Battalion The Duke of Lancaster’s Regiment and the club’s historian Ian Rigby, shows the regiment of the men, when they died and the place they now rest.

🎥 Our World War One memorial has now been unveiled, make sure you come and have a look before kick-off.

We will have a full video of our remembrance activity early next week. #pnefc #PNERemembers #FootballRemembers pic.twitter.com/Rdbnjilvvs

A single poppy wreath was laid at the foot of the memorial before the Last Post sounded.
