A decision over whether to cancel this weekend's Premier League fixtures, including Arsenal vs Everton, has been made this morning.
The announcement of the tragedy itself came during the second half of Arsenal's Europa League win in Zurich. At that point, the North London club's social media team, as well as paying their own tribute to Britain's longest-serving Monarch, stopped their live tweets of events from the Stadion Letzigrund.
A statement from the league's official website read: "At a meeting this morning, Premier League clubs paid tribute to Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. To honour her extraordinary life and contribution to the nation, and as a mark of respect, this weekend's Premier League match round will be postponed, including Monday evening's game."
