Match ends, Wycombe Wanderers 1, Charlton Athletic 0.
Joe Jacobson made his 400th and final appearance for Wycombe as they defeated Charlton at Adams Park.
There was a party-like atmosphere in South Buckinghamshire with both sides not in danger of relegation nor in the hunt for promotion as the League One season came to a close.
"What JJ has done for this club over the last 10 years has been nothing short of exceptional," said boss Matt Bloomfield.
"He has contributed to a lot of our recent success - it was just a shame he couldn't score from a corner."
Wanderers started the game at an electrifying pace and took a seventh-minute lead when Luke Leahy converted a penalty.
Richard Kone, who has become a fan favourite since his move from non-league Athletic Newham in January, was tripped by Terell Thomas and referee Elliot Bell had no option but to point to the spot.
Up stepped Leahy, who scored with ease to claim his 11th league goal of the campaign.
Wanderers should have doubled their lead but goalkeeper Harry Isted did well to deny Chris Forino, Jack Grimmer and Dale Taylor while Charlton hit the bar through a Lewis Fiorini free-kick.
Bloomfield added: ""I'm very pleased with the performance from the players even though there wasn't much to play for.
"We wanted to evolve this season and change but we knew it was going to be hard. It has been clunky at times but it was good to see how we've finished the campaign."
Charlton boss Nathan Jones said that apart from hitting the bar, his side had not had enough of an end product.
He continued: "I wouldn't say I'm glad the season is over, as we're in a privileged position to be a football manager or player, but the last few weeks were all about getting safe and looking at how we can move forward. We need to improve for next season."

But at least we didn't get relegated, a close run thing for a couple of weeks.
We were top of the League for Draws, let's convert those into Wins next season.
Come on Charlton !
Going to miss JJ after 10 years of exceptional service. He’ll be back.
The Charlton fans seem to hate Jones, even though he’s probably saved them from a relegation scrap. Having gone 14 games unbeaten they really got on the back of the team and manager for a turgid performance yesterday. We were just too good for them.
