The family of Blues legend Kevin Beattie, who died last month aged 64, are asking fans to pay tribute at Portman Road ahead of his funeral on Friday rather than at the crematorium.
The funeral procession will pass by the Sir Bobby Robson statue in Portman Road at around 2.30pm and Beattie’s family have politely requested that supporters salute the man viewed as the club’s greatest ever player there.
Space is limited at the crematorium and parking restrictions set to be put in place with the funeral service for family, close friends and ex-team-mates of the former England international.""
The book of condolence will remain in Planet Blue until 3.15pm on Friday for those who have not already signed it.
