The Victory Square event followed a series of tributes across town since Armistice Day on November 11. They included the bathing of war memorials in red light on Thursday and players, officials and spectators observing an impeccable silence before Hartlepool United’s Friday evening home game with Newport County at The Suit Direct Stadium.
