Past and present Newcastle United players have honoured Her Majesty the Queen following her death. Britain’s longest-reigning monarch passed away on Thursday afternoon and the country is in national mourning until the funeral.
Newcastle were quick to post a solemn statement after an announcement came from the Royal Family. A tweet read: Newcastle United and its owners are deeply saddened by the passing of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II.
“We join the world in sending our deepest condolences to the Royal Family. All flags at St. James' Park will fly at half mast as we join the country in observing a period of national mourning.”
