​Tottenham to light up stadium marking national day of reflection

Tottenham will illuminate its stadium yellow at 8pm on Tuesday 23 March, 2021, marking a national day to remember those we have lost to all causes during the Covid-19 pandemic, reports www.fcbusiness.co.uk

Spearheaded by end-of-life charity Marie Curie, the National Day of Reflection takes place on the one-year anniversary of the UK first entering a full national lockdown.

Marie Curie estimates that over three million people in the UK have been bereaved since the pandemic began, with the Spurs itself mourning the loss of former players, staff and fans who will sadly never return to the stadium.

The National Day of Reflection will give the nation and communities a moment to remember, grieve and celebrate the lives of everyone who has died during this time and show support for families, friends and colleagues who are grieving.

The club will also observe a minute's silence at 12 noon and is encouraging fans to also take a moment to reflect at this time.
