(Memorial charity match) COLEBROOK'S Memorial Day in honour of founder member Bob Harding was a full house at Leyton's E10 stadium.
The event was celebrated with a specially commissioned limited edition football kits supplied by Vandanel sportswear.
The Royals U10s team took part in a skills and coaching demonstration with West Ham coach Stuart Sheppard.
The main event started with Bob Harding's 1999 cup-winning team giving a good account of themselves against some fine opposition in 2-2 draw.
The day raised money for the Haven House hospice, the chosen charity of the Harding family.
It was also a cause close to Royals following the untimely death of former player Michael Thompson, 16, who spent his final weeks at the hospice.
Colebrook Royals would like to thank Leyton's Costas Sophocleous for his generous hospitality, and all the people who helped to make the event possible.
