WREXHAM AFC has issued a statement of disappointment after a 'small number' of individuals interrupted a minute's silence during last night's match.

The Reds beat Dagenham and Redbridge 4-1 at the Racecourse in their latest National League match, a brace apiece from Paul Mullin and Ollie Palmer doing the damage.

But, club officials say it is 'disappointing' to be in the spotlight 'for all the wrong' reasons this morning (Wednesday, September 14).

That is due to a small group of people distubring a minute's silence held pre-match in honour of Her Majesty the Queen Elizabeth II who died aged 96 on Thursday, September 8.

The club has confirmed that those who interrupted the silence were asked to leave the ground 'for their own safety'.

A statement from Wrexham AFC read: "It was disappointing to hear the one-minute silence before the 4-1 victory against Dagenham & Redbridge disturbed by a small number of individuals among the 9,835 in attendance.

"To have the club’s name in the media this morning for all the wrong reasons, is not a scenario that should have occurred and we wish to apologise to all who were offended by the actions of the minority, while thanking the vast majority who did observe the one-minute's silence.

"A number of the individuals who disturbed the one-minute silence were asked to leave the Racecourse Ground for their own safety."
