United's flag is deepest red,
It shrouded all our Munich dead,
Before their limbs grew stiff and cold,
Their heart's blood dyed it's ev'ry fold.
Then raise United's banner high,
Beneath it's shade we'll live and die,
So keep the faith and never fear,
We'll keep the Red Flag flying here.
We'll never die, we'll never die,
We'll never die, we'll never die,
We'll keep the Red flag flying high,
Because Man United will never die

Well said. In a way, that's why clapping is sometimes preferable. You muffle the random idiots.
As far as I know the minutes applause was first used for George Best (which was very fitting)... but personally I prefer the minutes silence (which was only 20 seconds last night?) If there are idiots that want to jeer during it, they should be thrown out.

I prefer the applauding, to be honest.

A big thank you to all opposing supporters of all our great teams for showing your respect towards the 50th anniversary.
itv did a wonderful programme last night and sir bobby charlton bought tears to my eyes. such dignity and love for his friends.
he and harry gregg are utter heroes
the amazing thing is how they express regret about being the ones who survived
no one can deny sir bobby charlton as a world class footballer but surely in these days he is accepted even more as a figurehead of all that is good about the game.
he is a true legend

The silence created by 80,000 people may not be emotional, but it is very powerful.
