Premier League to pay tribute to queen at weekend games

LONDON, England (AP) — The Premier League will pay tribute to Queen Elizabeth II this weekend by having a minute’s silence before every game, followed by the national anthem.

The league said that fans will also be invited to applaud at the 70-minute mark, in recognition of The Queen’s 70-year reign. Players will wear black armbands and managers have been asked to consider wearing a suit.

Last weekend’s games were all postponed following The Queen’s death last Thursday at the age of 96.

Seven games will be played this weekend. Chelsea-Liverpool and Manchester United-Leeds were both postponed because of limited police resources ahead of The Queen’s State funeral on Monday. Brighton’s home game against Crystal Palace had already been postponed because of a planned rail strike, which has since been cancelled.

A period of silence was also observed before Liverpool’s Champions League game against Ajax on Tuesday.
