Newcastle United today confirmed the arrangements they have put in place ahead of Saturday's Barclays Premier League fixture with Chelsea to pay tribute to Gary Speed.
The official match programme will carry a picture of Gary on the front cover, as well as containing a four-page tribute to the former United midfielder.
Prior to kick-off, a singer will lead the 52,000 capacity crowd in a rendition of the famous Welsh hymn, Bread of Heaven.
Whilst the hymn is sung supporters in the East Stand will be asked to hold up black and white cards which will depict the number 11, the shirt number Gary wore whilst at United. All supporters will be provided with hymn sheets at the turnstiles when they enter the ground in order to join in the singing.

Upon completion of the hymn, a minute's applause will be observed in memory of Gary.
