The British football league has resumed some of its matches this Saturday after the break last weekend as a sign of mourning after the death of the monarch. Players and fans have observed an emotional minute of silence at St James’ Park and Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in honor of the queen. After the minute of silence, the national anthem was sung in both stadiums. Last week all matches in the first division of British football were suspended to honor the memory of Queen Elizabeth after her death. This Saturday was, therefore, the first opportunity that both players and spectators had to pay their respects to the deceased monarch during a soccer match. Although the Premier League resumed on Friday night, some matches have had to be postponed for security reasons as the country prepares for the great state funeral to be held on Monday 19 September.
