Gary Lineker has praised England's cricket team for their moving tribute to Queen Elizabeth II at the Oval - and admitted that it is a "real shame" that football will not be paying their own respects this weekend.
The Premier League and the FA decided on Friday that all of this weekend's fixtures would be postponed as a mark of respect for The Queen, who sadly passed away on Thursday at the age of 96.
In a statement released on Friday, Premier League chief executive Richard Masters said: “We and our clubs would like to pay tribute to Her Majesty’s long and unwavering service to our country."As our longest-serving monarch, she has been an inspiration and leaves behind an incredible legacy following a life of dedication.
