Nottingham Forest pay moving tribute to The Queen ahead of Fulham clash

The club had requested all fans be in place early, to allow for respects to be paid prior to the game. And shortly before the 8pm kick-off, Reds head coach Steve Cooper and opposite number Marco Silva led their respective teams out on to the pitch and into the centre circle, where they each laid a wreath.

A hush descended on the stadium when referee Jared Gillett blew his whistle for a minute's silence, which ended with applause from the stands. That was followed by a rendition of the National Anthem.
