The region's football clubs have joined the rest of the nation in paying tribute to Her Majesty The Queen. The country has entered a 10 day period of national morning after the death of Britain's longest-ruling monarch yesterday (Thursday, September 8).
It was this morning (Friday) announced that matches in the Premier League, EFL and every other level of the game this weekend had been postponed. Government guidance had said they were under no obligation to do so.
However, the Premier League, EFL and The FA said they had decided to do so "as a mark of respect" to The Queen who according to the latter had "left a lasting and indelible legacy on our national game."
