Arsenal’s timetable for 125th anniversary party

Arsenal have announced the timetable for the events to mark the 125th anniversary celebrations at tomorrow’s match against Everton. The club have sent out an email to fans saying you are encouraged to arrive early to experience a number of special moments to mark the celebration. See below…

Among the special guests on the day are a selection of Arsenal Legends and supporters whose devotion and support for the Club runs deep – many of whose stories feature around Emirates Stadium on flags, stadium walls, plaques and benches.

Supporters are reminded to pick up a souvenir edition of the Match Day programme to be in with a chance of finding one of 125 golden tickets to win one of the 18 commemorative shirts worn by the squad on the day or a souvenir leather football.

To make sure you don’t miss out on any of Saturday’s action, take a look here to find out what’s happening:

• 1.30pm- The Royal Artillery and Orchestra, founded in 1762, will play outside Emirates Stadium above The Armoury store
• 1.45pm- Unveiling of the Nike ’125 Project’, which gave Arsenal’s most passionate fans the chance to tell their story and see themselves immortalised around Emirates Stadium
• 2.15pm- The Royal Artillery Band and Orchestra will play inside the Emirates Stadium bowl
• 2.40pm- Legends will be presented to the crowd alongside supporters
• 2.50pm- A guard of honour of fans and legends, together with 20 Junior Gunners
• 2.59pm- Referee, Howard Webb will toss a sixpence to decide kick-off
• 3.00pm – David Danskin’s great-grandchildren will bring out the match ball for the game

Plus, don’t miss half-time presentations which include handing over a shirt to Nottingham Forest in recognition of their contribution to the red and white colours that the Club wears to this day.

We’ll bring you news of the unveiling of the statues after 3pm.
