Grassroots football will not take place this weekend after today's decision to pause all scheduled matches in response to the death of Queen Elizabeth II.
Official guidance from the Department from Digital, Culture, Media and Sport released earlier this morning recommended sporting bodies to consider cancelling events on the day of the Queen's state funeral but added there was no obligation for other days to be affected.
A Premier League meeting took place at 11am this morning to debate the most appropriate form of action, with postponing games being chosen as the way to proceed. All levels of the game are now affected, stretching all the way down to the bottom of the football pyramid.
