Guest of Honour
Elizabeth II and The Duke of Edinburgh were the official guests of honour. The former presented the trophy while the latter had been introduced to the two teams prior to the game. This final also marked the end of the tradition of the winning captain leading the stadium in three cheers for Her Majesty and the playing of the national anthem after the presentation.- The National anthem was still sung before and after the Final until 1971. This was the last final with exposed terraces at Wembley, by 1963 the roof had been extended all the way around the stadium in preparation for the 1966 FIFA World Cup
