Jacket ,trousers,tie, overcoat etc and i would also like to see Pep ditch the hoodie and jean look, but i guess he's wear the clubs sponsor clothing so he's supporting the cause. I don't doubt Pep's integrity in support of worthy causes and charities helping people less fortunate than most of us and i don't see him 'disrespecting' the meaning of laying a wreath becausd of his casual attire. I've attended numerous remembrance services and its something i've always felt strongly. My attire has varied from a tux at the Royal Albert Hall to cycling lycra at the Arc De Triomph but it didn't alter my level of support or respect for all those that have paid the ultimate sacrifice
I think there's a difference between 'attending' and 'actively participating in'/'representing'. I might attend a funeral in less formal attire, but I'd never be a coffin-bearer in anything less than a black suit. Technically, everyone at the stadium was 'attending' the memorial service, but Pep was laying a wreath on behalf of the club, and he (as well as the club's hierarchy) would have known this in advance.
