The League, clubs, players and fans are paying tribute to Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II at this weekend’s Premier League matches, honouring her extraordinary life and contribution to the nation and world.
A minute’s silence was observed ahead of kick-off at Villa Park and The City Ground on Friday, followed by applause and the National Anthem, God Save The King.
Players and match officials are wearing black armbands as a mark of respect to Her Majesty.
Big screens and LED perimeter boards are displaying tribute images to Her Majesty and flags at the grounds are being flown at half-mast.
On 70 minutes fans applauded to mark The Queen’s 70-year reign.
Clubs paid further respects by dedicating their matchday programmes to Her Majesty, while fans displayed heartfelt messages.
Managers across the League also took the opportunity to pay their personal respects to Her Majesty during their pre-match press conferences.
Respects will continue to be paid across the Saturday and Sunday matches.
