A team of stewards from Adams Park were present at the Remembrance Service in High Wycombe on Sunday afternoon to assist with the parade through the town centre.
Under the guidance of stadium and safety officer Richard Stanford, the team known as 'Adams Park Security' have an outstanding reputation within the local community and provided stewarding at the opening of the Eden Centre earlier this year before winning the National Customer Services award in September.
The Remembrance Service had been under threat due to a lack of funding before Wycombe's managing director Steve Hayes offered to donate money to the cause, although his gesture was politely declined as local councillors decided it was the duty of the council to stump up the cash.
"I'm quite a patriot," Mr Hayes told the Bucks Free Press at the time. "Making sure the boys are looked after is paramount. They went out and fought to save our freedom, and many didn't come back."
Wanderers president Monty Seymour, who is also president of the High Wycombe Royal British Legion, was pleased with the response from the local public to the special occasion:
"There was an excellent turn out and I found today, as always, the Wycombe public are very generous to our poppy fund," he told the newspaper.
