A lifelong Swindon Town Football Club fan and Supporters' Club committee member has been honoured.
News of Ann Alder's death was shared by the supporters' club on Friday and a round of applause was held during the 10th minute of the home game against Doncaster Rovers, which Town lost 2-1.
In a social media post, the supporters' club wrote: "Annie will be missed."
Many paid public tribute to Ann, sharing fond memories of her time organising the team coaches for away games.
One person wrote: "Sad news. Annie and her group used to do a great job organising the coaches with the Travel Club and then SAS Travel back in the day. RiP Annie."
Another added: "Oh what sad news. Annie was such a lovely person who did so much for the supporters of Swindon Town Football Club. She will be missed.
"My condolences to her family and friends."
Ann's foster son, John Burt, reacted to the kind words by saying: "Thank you to Swindon Town Supporters Club and all for your lovely comments for my foster mum."
