All football matches due to take this place this weekend have been postponed as a mark of respect following the death of HM Queen Elizabeth II.

The Football Association announced that all fixtures in the national league system right down to matches across grassroots football will be rearranged.

In a statement the FA said: “Her Majesty the Queen was a long-standing Patron of The Football Association and has left a lasting and indelible legacy on our national game.

“Our thoughts remain with our president, HRH The Duke of Cambridge, and the whole of the Royal Family during this time.”

The Premier League and the EFL have also confirmed that their fixtures this weekend will be rescheduled for a later date.
