The 73-year-old had earlier been paraded in front of the crowd at Portman Road after being named honorary club president following his many years of service.

After being taken to Ipswich Hospital, where he spent the next two nights after undergoing a series of routine tests, the former England manager was released yesterday.
However, it appears doubtful Robson will be on hand next Wednesday when Ireland face the Dutch in a friendly at Lansdowne Road.
'I've spoken to him, but he wasn't giving too much away, so I'm going to visit him tomorrow,' confirmed Staunton.
'I know he is going to see a specialist today and again tomorrow, although it's too early to say whether he will be coming in for the game next week.
'From what I gather from his wife and secretary he is supposed to take things easy - but he can't!'
Robson missed out on Ireland's end-of-season training camp in the Algarve in May after recovering from having a cancerous tumour removed from his lung earlier that month.
Although that was Robson's third cancer scare - having beaten the illness twice before in 1992 and 1995 - he did take his place in the stands for the 1-0 friendly defeat to Chile that followed.
Robson, also a former manager at Newcastle, will at least be delighted to see four Magpies players in Staunton's 24-man squad to take on the Dutch.
The most prominent of those is Stephen Carr, who has ended his 10-month exile after retiring from international football last October following the Republic's failure to qualify for the World Cup finals.
