A nice touch and should be done every season at the end of the calendar year and the end of the season.

Was very moving when I saw the picture of an ex-colleague, who I used to catch up with every now and again at ER. Something we should definitely do every year.

Just watched it. 😢 Touch of class from Hibs. Thoughts with all who lost loved ones this season. 💚

Never let it be said that this beloved club of ours lacks class when it really matters. Well done Hibs and for the person who chose the song for backing - Bravo! - nothing else could have been so fitting.

That is perfect, a moving and fitting tribute.
God bless those family, friends and fellow Hibbies we have lost in the last year.

Was brilliantly done, really sensitively handled.
Well done to those who made it happen.PM Awards General Poster of The Year 2015, 2016, 2017. Probably robbed in other years

Was quite emotional actually, saw a few that I knew and one or two that had passed last year that I had lost touch with a few years ago 😔

Was very emotional. Especially when my good pal who passed a few weeks ago popped up on it.
Should definitely do it every year.Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, chocolate in one hand, vodka in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming, "WOO HOO what a ride!"

Excellent idea and handled perfectly.

I thought the start of today's game was brilliant albeit in a heart breaking way. as another poster said it put things into perspective and between the absent friends and Dnipro kids I think it showed that football is a big thing and goes beyond the four corners of ER. It was good covering those lost over a number of years but I think in future I would contain it to those that had been lost since the last time. Hopefully that will be the end of the applause during matches and we can all take part in an emotional end of season farewell.

I hope I don't upset anyone by writing this but I'd rather see the club do this than have the crowd applaud during a game.
This is obviously just one guy's opinion but... I don't feel right marking somebody's sad passing while the game is in progress and everybody immediately reverts to singing/moaning/screaming abuse immediately afterward.
It just seems so much more respectful the way it was done today and I think this should be the norm.

That was incredibly well done. That along with the Dnipro kids and I had tears running down my face. Hibs make me greet often but this was for all the right reasons

Very emotional
Saw a friend that passed a few weeks past and was so pleased he was included
A nicer guy you could not hope to meet
A fitting tribute

Hopefully (and I mean in this in the most respectful and sensitive way possible) today's initiative is carried forward into future seasons and it sees the end of the weekly (sometimes twice weekly) minute's applause on a particular minute.
I appreciate it's a sensitive topic but I think the way it was done today is the best way to deal with the passing of supporters.

I showed it to a woman friend of mine earlier, it moved her to tears, the music was very apt.
Well done Hibs and all involved.

Only negative comment I could make on the HT tribute was the speed that the photos were displayed at made it impossible to read each dedication. Appreciate time constraints of HT interval, but some people had clearly put effort into sending in words that deserved to be read. Maybe in future limiting wording on each one to name, dates, etc would be appropriate, to avoid this?

I thought the tribute was excellent. It was very emotional to see my cousin who passed away last year - I hadn’t seen him for a long long time, but when we were younger I used to go to Easter Road with him and his brother.

It was very emotional. I had sent in my Grandad’s photo and even though I knew it was coming up it still hit me hard. It was very well done.
