Players, fans and owners came together at St James' Park ahead of Newcastle United 's game against Bournemouth to pay tribute to Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II nine days on from her death.
With a national period of mourning still in place ahead of the Queen's funeral on Monday, Newcastle director Amanda Staveley joined Bournemouth chairman Jeff Mostyn on the pitch before kick-off to lay a wreath in her honour. Players for both teams observed a minute's silence in the centre circle - as did fans.
Following this, all four sides of the ground erupted into song for a rousing rendition of God Save the King. Around the ground fans belted out the tune to the national anthem, now of course with King replacing Queen in the lyrics.

ChronicleLive 's Newcastle United editor Aaron Stokes wrote that the silence had been "impeccably observed".
Further tributes to the Queen were present on advertising boards and in the stands. The hoardings read: "Newcastle United and its owners are deeply saddened by the passing of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II.
In the stands, the Wor Flags group had removed their usual displays for the day, as a mark of respect, too. A tribute also adorns the back page of the official matchday programme - which features an image of the Queen presenting the FA Cup to 1950s NUFC captain Jimmy Scoular.
