This was the first time a band – the Royal Navy Volunteer Band from Northwood Headquarters – had performed prior to the fixture, before piper Colin MacDougal led the official party onto the Boundary Stadium pitch.
A total of 189 participants were involved in the act of Remembrance, led by master of ceremonies Paul Mimpress.
South West Hertfordshire MP Gagan Mohindra, chair of Three Rivers District Council Cllr Raj Khiroya and Watford FC legend Luther Blissett joined other councillors, the police, football association and league representatives, the match officials, team management and captains and players from Oxhey Jets Youth in also laying wreaths prior to the playing of the Last Post and a two minutes’ silence.
After the Colours and guests had left the pitch, the Garry Beadle Memorial Cup, named after the Jets player who died in 2019, was paraded and entrusted to the Royal Navy in recognition of their involvement in the occasion.
