A Spitfire will be behind the Boothen End this weekend to mark the 70th anniversary since the iconic aircraft designed by Stoke-on-Trent hero Reginald Mitchell had its maiden test flight…
Stoke City will display a loaned Spitfire behind the Boothen End at the bet365 Stadium for their upcoming Remembrance match day. The aircraft, a Mark XI model named Lucy on loan from the Spitfire Visitor Centre in Blackpool, connects to the club's away kit and local designer Reginald Mitchell.
Pre-match commemorations will feature soldiers forming a guard of honour, a performance of the Last Post, and a minute's silence officiated by referee Adam Herczeg. The family of the late local Battle of Britain pilot Flight Sergeant Harold Kenneth Hall will also attend as special guests.
