Sports including football matches cancelled after death of The Queen

Sporting events have been postponed after the death of Her Majesty The Queen.

Decisions have yet to be made regarding the weekend's fixture, however it's believed postponements will not be mandatory after today, Friday, September 9. The death of Elizabeth II, 96, who was the nation's longest-reigning monarch and served as head of state for more than 70 years, was announced by Buckingham Palace on Thursday.

Tributes have been paid to The Queen and event organisers are now considering the most appropriate and respectful course of action. Some fixtures have been cancelled already.
