Rugby fans paid respect to Margaret Thatcher during a minute's silence at Sandy Park today before the Chiefs vs London Irish game.
The controversial tribute took place just before 3pm at Sandy Park and, as the video below shows, most fans respected the club's request for silence.
The crowd generally stayed silent however some fans were heard to boo early on and one was heard to shout 'it should be about sport, not politics'.
Echo sports editor Nick Warren, who is covering the game at Sandy Park, described the silence as 'well observed' adding that a handful of people arrived in the stands after the tribute.
The silence was the first to take place in any major game this weekend, in memory of Baroness Thatcher who died on Monday following a stroke.
The Exeter Chiefs made the decision to pay their respects to the former Prime Minister ahead of the game and are one of only two top flight clubs to do so. The other is Saracens on Sunday.Watch the video below:
Yesterday Exeter MP Ben Bradshaw said the silence was the 'wrong decision' following a poll from thisisexeter.co.uk that showed 87% of our readers disagreed with the tribute.
He added: "A minute's silence is generally held at times of national mourning for a monarch or to remember a national tragedy, when the nation comes together, united, to pay its respects.
"Lady Thatcher was a highly divisive figure, whatever you think of her, and the overwhelming majority of sports bodies have decided not to hold a silence and I think that's the right decision.
"It's certainly a matter for the Exeter Chiefs to decide for themselves, but looking at the evidence on their own website and on other fans' websites there's certainly not a lot of support for it and I think it's the wrong decision."
Exeter Chiefs Chairman, Tony Rowe, said: "This is a mark of respect for a great statesperson. As many people have agreed with us having a minute's silence as have disagreed."
Margaret Thatcher will not have her death marked at football matches this weekend.
Football Association chairman David Bernstein says there will not be a minute's silence before this weekend's FA Cup ties, stating that the FA is "an apolitical organisation".
