Two private schools including one in Lancashire have come in for criticism after they reportedly took part in a football game despite matches all being cancelled following the death The Queen.
The Football Association (FA) ordered that no matches at all levels including the grassroots should be played this weekend, September 9-11, as a "mark of respect" for Britain's longest-serving monarch who they said had "left a lasting and indelible legacy on our national game."
However a match between two fee-paying schools, Eton in Berkshire and Rossall, in Fleetwood, Lancs appeared to still take place after the latter school tweeted about the games, the Mirror reports.
