Captains of both teams, Billy Sharp and Tom Lees, laid a wreath at both ends of the field.

There was also a wreath laid in the centre circle by a member of the Army, Royal Navy, Marines and Air Force prior to kick-off.

The Last Post was also played before the whole stadium observed a minute's silence.

An image of falling poppies was also displayed on the big screen with the words '˜Sheffield Remembers' during the period of silence.

The Armistice, signalling the end of World War One, was signed on November 11, 1918 and so this year marks the centenary of that historic date.Â
