Last updated : 14 October 2009 By Michael Morris
The troops are recently back from a tour of Afghanistan and will be be special guests of Cardiff City when the Bluebirds play Crystal Palace on Saturday.

The families of the guardsmen will provide mascots for the game and there will be a march on the pitch and a salute to the wounded soldiers.

"It will be a great honour to welcome the troops to our new stadium," Peter Ridsdale told the official website. "I know our fans will be proud to salute them. They are tough people who have been doing a tough job, and our aim is twofold - first to let them know that the public appreciate what they have been through, and then to make them very welcome at Cardiff City. We hope they have a great afternoon with us."
