Nottingham Forest and Aston Villa players were seen rallying around and consoling a young season-ticket holder after a mishap during the Remembrance Day tribute.
Prior to kick-off in the Premier League match at the City Ground, a young season ticket-holder, Caiden Storry, 16, took to the pitch to perform The Last Post on a trumpet.
After a near flawless performance, the youngster then struggled to hit the correct notes in the final section of the song – leaving a few fans and players confused.
A brief moment of applause followed after Storry’s performance before players from both teams were seen consoling the youngster following the incident.
Sky Sports cameras also followed Storry as he made his way back to the tunnel and it was clear that the teen was visibly distraught with the ending of the song.

Storry had been due to play it since he was 13 but issues related to COVID-19 kept pushing things back. Storry typically sits in Trent End with his father.
Users on social media were quick to pick up on the incident and shared their well-wishes with Storry after the incident.
‘Poor lad at Forest doing the trumpet for remembrance day. Not sure if it was a malfunction or if the nerves just got to him but something went wrong. Great act by both teams going up to the poor fella and saying well done. Lovely touch hopefully the lad knows he done well’, one said.
Another wrote: ‘The trumpet player at Nottingham Aston Villa game was amazing. He should be incredibly proud. Someone give him a big cuddle. You smashed it lad’.
‘Nah I feel so bad for that kid who played the trumpet, nice to see that the fans and players cheered him up’, one user wrote.
In the match, the hosts took an early lead after Ola Aina drove a low effort past Aston Villa goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez and into the bottom of the goal in the fifth minute.
