Arsenal paid their respect to Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II in their first game since she passed away last week against Brentford at the Brentford Community Stadium.
The club as a whole had began to pay their respects long before Sunday's match by laying a wreath at the training ground. Mikel Arteta moved to address the impact he had felt after the passing of the Queen in his pre-match press conference.
"I think it’s phenomenal what the country has done," he said. "I think it shows the level of admiration and respect and the legacy that the Queen has left on the lives of so many. It was very emotional and coming from a different country and culture to see that reaction it’s pretty special. I think it tells you a lot about who she was and what she’s left behind her."
