talkSPORT vow to 'deal with the matter' of Trevor Sinclair's tweet about the Queen

Trevor Sinclair has finally apologised for tweeting that 'black and brown' people should not mourn the Queen after being suspended by talkSPORT - with the shamed presenter saying the intervention was 'ill-timed'.

The network officially suspended Sinclair after the former England footballer shared the controversial post relating to the Queen's death on Thursday afternoon.

Sinclair claimed that 'black and brown' people should not mourn the death of Queen Elizabeth II because racism was allowed to 'thrive' during her reign.

Sinclair's tweet came shortly after Buckingham Palace announced the death of Her Majesty the Queen at the age of 96 on Thursday.
