How the Munich Air Disaster will be remembered

This will be the first time since 2020 that the traditional ceremony has been held on the 6 February anniversary, after pandemic-related restrictions made it impossible to hold the event last year.

As usual, the service will be led “by the fans, for the fans”, with supporters’ group Munich58 co-ordinating and former club chaplain Rev John Boyers acting as master of ceremonies.

You can download the event brochure, containing an order of service.

The ceremony will begin at 14:40 GMT on Sunday beneath the Munich memorial plaque on the East Stand forecourt of Old Trafford, and will consist of poems and songs, including a rendition of The Flowers of Manchester.
