Sir Bobby Memorial To Be Shown In Town


By Aston
September 2 2009

The memorial service for footballing legend Sir Bobby Robson will be shown live on a big screen that will be erected in Ipswich town centre. The service which takes places at Durham Cathedral on the 21st of September will be shown by Sky Sports and on a big screen at the Cornhill. The memorial service will start at 2pm but the big screen will be showing highlights or Sir Bobby's Ipswich career from midday.

Liz Harsant, leader of the Borough said: "I am sure there will be a great deal of interest - Sir Bobby was not only a national hero, he was an Ipswich one and will always be a legend here.

"We are grateful to the FA and to the football club for their support and I hope many people turn up and pay their respects to this great man. We thought it was fitting to hold the event on the Cornhill as this was the scene of the FA Cup celebration and the granting of the Freedom of the Borough to Sir Bobby just last year."

He will also be a hero to Albion fans from when he played for us. A true footballing giant.

RIP
