The remarkable life of Brian Clough will be celebrated in a huge memorial service at Pride Park stadium. The event, which takes place on Thursday, 21st October, will see Rams fans and Forest fans sit side by side to honour the memory of a man who led both teams to glory. The decision to move the service from Derby Cathedral was made in response to massive demand for tickets. Canon Elaine Jones and Canon Nicholas Henshall from Derby Cathedral will lead the service with musical accompaniment from the Cathedral Choir. Canon Nicholas Henshall said: "As soon as we announced the memorial service it became clear that there was going to be an overwhelming response. This is a wonderful comment about Brian's achievement in the region." Derby County chairman John Sleightholme said: "We are working with the staff of the Cathedral and Brian's family to ensure the service is a fitting tribute to a man whose footballing achievements were truly remarkable." The service starts at 7.30pm and runs for roughly an hour and 15 minutes. It includes speeches from Geoff Boycott, Martin O'Neill and World Cup referee Clive Thomas. Buses will be laid on to ferry people to the service, leaving from Corporation Street every five minutes from 6pm - 7pm.
