The
passing
of
the
UK’s
longest-reigning
sovereign
caused
the
Premier
League
to
postpone
a
full
fixture
programme
last
weekend
as
a
“mark
of
respect”.
While
English
top-flight
football
is
to
resume
on
Friday,
two
matches
have
been
postponed
due
to
policing
concerns
on
the
weekend
of
the
Queen’s
funeral;
Manchester
United’s
clash
with
Leeds
United
and
Liverpool’s
trip
to
Chelsea,
while
Brighton’s
clash
with
Crystal
Palace
was
already
postponed
earlier
this
month.
The
Premier
League
has
now
confirmed
plans
for
tributes
to
take
place
across
each
of
this
weekend’s
seven
fixtures,
with
fans
also
invited
to
join
a
moment’s
applause
after
seventy
minutes
to
mark
the
Queen’s
70-year
reign.
A
statement
on
the
league’s
website
read:
“All
Premier
League
matches
between
Friday
16
and
Sunday
18
September
will
provide
an
opportunity
for
the
league,
clubs
and
fans
to
come
together
to
pay
tribute
to
Her
Majesty
Queen
Elizabeth
II,
honouring
her
extraordinary
life
and
contribution
to
the
nation
and
world.
“Fans
will
be
asked
to
join
a
minute’s
silence,
which
will
be
followed
by
the
national
anthem,
God
Save
The
King.
“Big
screens
and
LED
perimeter
boards
will
display
tribute
images
to
Her
Majesty
and
flags
at
the
grounds
will
be
flying
at
half-mast.
“When
the
clock
turns
to
70
minutes,
fans
will
be
invited
to
applaud
The
Queen’s
70-year
reign.”
