Liverpool fans observed a moment's silence in memory of Queen Elizabeth II ahead of their Champions League fixture against Ajax on Tuesday night.
The Reds took on the Dutch giants in their first outing since the Queen died at Balmoral at the age of 96 last Thursday, following the postponement of the weekend's Premier League fixtures. Liverpool players emerged from the tunnel wearing black armbands "as a mark of respect" for the late monarch, while flags at Anfield were lowered to half-mast.
On Monday, club chiefs also confirmed there would be a "period of silence" directly before kick-off to honour the Queen, just as there was around the country in all English Football League and other Champions League fixtures. Liverpool fans, as well as the travelling Ajax supporters, respectfully observed this tribute, just as Jurgen Klopp and many others urged them to. Isolated members of the home faithful attempted to chant during the early stage of the minute but were quickly hushed as silence descended on Merseyside.
