The poignant tune is played annually in November to mark Remembrance Day and ahead of Sunday&#8217;s memorial service, football teams from around the country will observe a two minute silence.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.images.express.co.uk\/img\/dynamic\/67\/590x\/secondary\/Caiden-Storry-Nottingham-Forest-5061430.jpg?r=1699733393866\"><\/p>\n<p>The song, which represents the bugle used by the British Army as an effective form of communication to signal the camp was secure for the night, is usually played by a member of the armed forces.<\/p>\n<p>But Forest gave 16-year-old Caiden Storry the chance to perform &#8211; only for nerves to get the better of him halfway through. The youngster showed his bravery as he tried to continue but his attempts proved to be fruitless.<\/p>\n<p>The 25,000-strong crowd had already gone silent to respect the Last Post performance but gave the teenager a rousing reception when they quickly recognised what had happened.<\/p>\n<p> <strong> READ MORE <\/strong> <strong>Amazing abandoned football stadiums including one bigger than six Prem grounds[FEATURE] <\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.images.express.co.uk\/img\/dynamic\/67\/590x\/secondary\/Armistice-Day-Nottingham-Forest-5061421.jpg?r=1699733393958\"><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li> <svg width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewbox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"> <g clip-path=\"url(#clip0_1078_5986)\"> <\/path> <\/path> <\/g> <defs> <clippath> <rect width=\"23.4329\" height=\"23.4329\" fill=\"white\" transform=\"translate(0 0.134262)\"><\/rect> <\/clippath> <\/defs> <\/svg> Support fearless journalism<\/li>\n<li> <svg width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewbox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"> <g clip-path=\"url(#clip0_1078_5986)\"> <\/path> <\/path> <\/g> <defs> <clippath> <rect width=\"23.4329\" height=\"23.4329\" fill=\"white\" transform=\"translate(0 0.134262)\"><\/rect> <\/clippath> <\/defs> <\/svg> Read The Daily Express online, advert free<\/li>\n<li> <svg width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewbox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"> <g clip-path=\"url(#clip0_1078_5986)\"> <\/path> <\/path> <\/g> <defs> <clippath> <rect width=\"23.4329\" height=\"23.4329\" fill=\"white\" transform=\"translate(0 0.134262)\"><\/rect> <\/clippath> <\/defs> <\/svg> Get super-fast page loading<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.images.express.co.uk\/img\/logo\/logo-premium-subscription.png\"><\/p>\n<p>Not only did he receive a standing ovation from his fellow Forest fans, Steve Cooper came over to give him a hug and comforted him.<\/p>\n<p>He still looked distraught as he was consoled on the touchline before heading down the tunnel. In an attempt to cheer him up, his favourite club decided to reach out again and give him a day he would never forget for all of the right reasons.<\/p>\n<p>Ahead of Remembrance Day on Sunday, the Premier League side saw it fitting to go a step further and invite Caiden to visit their training ground at their base in Wilford Lane. There, he met Cooper again as well as the players and coaching staff, who were all keen to meet the musician.<\/p>\n<p> <strong> HEADLINES <\/strong> <br \/> <strong>Man Utd boss Erik ten Hag sends Hojlund pointed message after narrow Luton win[REACTION] <\/strong> <br \/> <strong>Tottenham have four problems as Ange Postecoglou furious after Wolves defeat[ANALYSIS] <\/strong> <br \/> <strong>Luis Diaz&#8217;s father shares emotional chat with Liverpool star after kidnap ordeal[NEWS] <\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.images.express.co.uk\/img\/dynamic\/67\/590x\/secondary\/Nottingham-Forest-Remembrance-5061434.jpg?r=1699733394000\"><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;He&#8217;s one of us, he&#8217;s one of the family,&#8221; Cooper said. &#8220;I spoke to Caiden before he spent the day with us yesterday. It was great to see him. The players and the staff wanted to see him.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;He&#8217;s a lovely young man. He loves Nottingham Forest and has been a season ticket-holder since he was five. He&#8217;s really well spoken and really clear about where he wants his journey to be in life.
