What Newcastle United fans can expect at St James' Park as tributes to The Queen confirmed

The Premier League has confirmed plans to honour Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II as top flight fixtures return this weekend. Newcastle United welcome Bournemouth to St James' Park with tributes planned at stadiums across the country.

Players and officials will don black armbands and gather at the centre circle, along with managers, before kick-off. Supporters will be asked to observe a minute's silence before God Save The King is played.

In-house screens and electronic advertising boards will display tribute images to The Queen and flags at all stadiums will be flying at half-mast. Fans will also be invited to take part in a minute's applause in the 70th-minute of each fixture.
