The passing of Queen Elizabeth II on September 8th has since given rise to an outpour of emotional tributes across society in the United Kingdom.
The footballing landscape has proven no exception, with games across the English pyramid having been postponed last weekend, as a mark of respect for a reign which spanned a remarkable 70 years.
With the Premier League having returned to screens across the globe to the tune of seven fixtures this weekend, it therefore came as little surprise to see all 14 clubs make use of the opportunity to pay their respects once more, ahead of the Queen’s funeral on Monday, September 19th.
