Supporters unfurl giant Peter Whittingham banner and carry it across the stands. Fans stood and applauded on 7 mins and sang his name at full voice.

That followed on from a moment of silent reflection for Whitts and all the other Bluebirds who passed away since February 2020 pic.twitter.com/x6RZ0yyB5T

Might not be accurate but watching the tribute live I counted 157 inc PW.
Beautiful tribute to Whitts this...

Surprised how many died.
Quite emotional seeing that on the screen
I found it very upsetting.
Respect to the Barnsley fans for observing the tribute.
I was stunned by the numbers. Just kept on coming. Every one of them a mum, dad, grandparent, son, daughter, aunt or uncle. Too many loved ones. Gone but not forgotten.
A lovely tribute to all those who lost their lives.
Still hard to believe Whitts us gone.
It was very emotional. The tribute to Whitts himself was very understated, and I guess that’s what the family wanted, but I’ll admit to crying.
I thought the whole thing was very well done, and as much as people knock the club for some things, I thought they got it 100% right!
Seconded
From a personal point, I fortunately have not lost anyone in the last 18 months.
That montage today upset me and the realisation that fellow Bluebirds around me were no longer present really hit me more than at any point in this pandemic.
RIP Bluebirds.
Same, it hit home in a way I wouldn't have thought it would
Found the whole thing incredibly emotional. Can't remember shedding a tear at football before though was very close at the Wales Anthem in Bordeaux, which was of course a completely different emotion!
There was a few that I knew in the photos and then the Whitts image with his son finished me off. Incredibly understated but no doubt with in line with the wishes of the family.
Very very moving montage to all the lost Bluebirds now looking over us.
Touched many around me yesterday - so sad.
That picture of Whitt’s with his baby at the end is as beautiful as it is sad,
RIP to the Bluebirds that have passed over this horrible period!
That is such a good article - thanks for the link 👍
Very moving.
Thirded
After that picture came up with Peter Whittingham at the end, that's the first time I've cried at a football match.
