England test team captain Ben Stokes has urged for sporting events to go ahead this weekend in honour of Queen Elizabeth II, who passed away peacefully at Balmoral on Thursday afternoon.
It has been confirmed that EFL and Premier League fixtures have been postponed this weekend and Leeds' match against Nottingham Forest on Monday as a mark of respect for the Queen.
The decision was left to the individual organisations by the UK Government after they had said that there was no obligation to postpone or cancel this weekend's sporting fixtures due to the death of the Queen.
