Smith, proudly don their blue and white scarves as they make their way towards Wembley Stadium, ready to witness the highly anticipated FA Cup Final between Chelsea and Manchester United on May 19,2018. The image captures the essence of the rich history and tradition of English football, as these veterans, who have served their country with unwavering dedication, embark on a journey to support their beloved team. The Chelsea Pensioners, residents of the Royal Hospital Chelsea, have a long-standing association with the club, with the first record of their attendance at a Chelsea match dating back to 1900. This tradition continues to this day, with the pensioners being regular visitors to Stamford Bridge, the home of Chelsea Football Club.

This photograph encapsulates the spirit of camaraderie, tradition, and excitement that surrounds the FA Cup Final, and serves as a poignant reminder of the important role that football plays in bringing people together, regardless of age or background. The Chelsea Pensioners' journey to Wembley is a testament to the enduring bond between the club and its supporters, and a symbol of the unwavering loyalty and dedication that defines the beautiful game.
