Touch of class! Eddie Howe comes out in a formal suit to honour Queen Elizabeth II... before the Newcastle boss quickly changes into a tracksuit for touchline duties against his old side Bournemouth

Eddie Howe came out in a suit to pay respect to Queen Elizabeth II before Newcastle's meeting with Bournemouth - and then changed into a tracksuit to shout instructions from the touchline.

The Magpies hosted Howe's former side in their first match since the death of Her Majesty, The Queen, last week at the age of 96.

As part of changes to the typical Premier League pre-game protocol, a minute's silence was held at each ground before matches started, and for this, Newcastle manager Howe came out in a suit.

However later images showed that the 44-year-old had switched out of the formal attire for his tracksuit to conduct his players with instructions and tactics against the Cherries, a side Howe has a significant amount of history with as a player and then as a manager.
