Must admit I understand the BBC have to show the news on every channel (that's not their choice to make) but all the sports channels and web pages is a bit over the top. I understand weekend postponements too, but again, it's a bit over the top, especially this year where fixtures are rammed in anyway

The FA and EFL will feel they have to make a mark of respect. They were all off when Diana died as well

Wait till all you've had is that for 21 days

They'll all be off all weekend

I would think as the crickets off as a mark of respect, Saturdays football will almost certainly follow the trend

Hope it goes as well as it can tomorrow I've played around a bit in this thread today, but tried to keep it in as good as taste as awful jokes can be, but when it was officially announced my mood changed. I think my view of death has changed, having buried 4 grandparents, both parents, my wife and one child, someone dying isn't funny or to be disrespected. She was 'our' Queen and a lot of royalists will be heartbroken, and while I don't feel that, I'm still deeply sorry for her family and friends, who will all miss her in their own way. RIP your majesty, reunited with Phillip

They will probably play this on a loop interspersed with live news for 24 hours now

Anne the only one at the actual moment apparently

If you'd watched the crown you'd know he could if he wanted too

I wouldn't be too sure

Yes I think so

I was possibly scoffing a double quarter pounder with cheese at the end. My own little tribute, RIP ma'am we'll never see your like again

Yes, especially on days like this

We were in Majorca when Diana was killed, and the holiday was ruined, cos everything shut for the week

You’re having a mare Offa, get behind your dyke and just stay there ffs

21 days probably

Think you can definitely write that one off

Been taking the **** all afternoon, but that actually is pretty sad stuff. My mum would be heart broken if she were still here

Everyone had monged out at Witchell droning on, and missed the moment

Right on cue…..ffs….. RIP

Right, a serious post. This is **** poor from the Palace, they should have made an announcement one way or the other by now. They’ve left the nation hanging for more than 6 hours now

When I worked for an unspeakable place by about 11pm

Understandably, the Germans have lost one of their own (possibly) today

Charles: How is mummy? Royal Aide: She’s been dead for 11 years your highness, your father made us promise we wouldn’t let on, to stop you being King, you jug eared ponce, but her heads fallen off for the 12th time and we don’t think we can stick it on again this time
