Chris Coleman will be wearing his poppy with pride on Saturday

Coventry City and Crystal Palace players will wear embroidered poppy armbands for Saturday's Championship meeting at the Ricoh Arena.

City manager Chris Coleman told BBC Coventry & Warwickshire there will also be a minute's silence prior to kick-off as an act of remembrance.

He said: "You can never be too proud of the people who gave us an opportunity to live in a free society.

"We'll be there on Saturday paying our full respects."
