Kevin Pietersen says England's tribute to Queen Elizabeth left him with 'goosebumps'

Cricket paid a moving tribute to Queen Elizabeth II during the Test match between England and South Africa at the Oval, with a minute's silence before the national anthems were sung, including an emotional rendition of 'God Save The King'.

Fans arrived early at the Oval in order to be part of the tributes, with the players coming onto the field through a military guard of honour. The entire ground then observed a minute's silence, before Laura Wright performed a cappella versions of both anthems.

The crowd joined in to sing 'God Save The King', before breaking into applause which only stopped when James Anderson bowled the very first ball of the Test.
