Queen left Michael Owen "mortified" during awkward exchange in Royal Ascot lift

Former Liverpool and Manchester United striker Michael Owen was left mortified during an encounter with Queen Elizabeth II at Royal Ascot.

Owen, an 89-cap England international, shared details of the incident in his book. An owner of a number of race horses, the 42-year-old was invited into the royal lift at the Ascot racecourse when the monarch was present.

The death of the Queen on Thursday was met with a number of tributes at that evening's games, with further matches postponed over the weekend. In the days since, plenty of stories about Elizabeth II have been shared, while others - like Owen's - have resurfaced.
