Premier League clubs paid tribute to Queen Elizabeth II as the competition returned to weekend action for the first time since her death.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Teams and match officials wore black armbands, while bouquets were laid in the centre circle at all Premier League games.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

A minute’s silence was followed by a rendition of God Save the King.<\/span><\/p>\n

Football in Britain was <\/span>called off the weekend<\/span><\/a> after the UK’s longest-serving monarch died aged 96 on 8 September.<\/span><\/p>\n

At Molineux, where <\/span>Wolves<\/strong> hosted <\/span>Manchester City<\/strong> on Saturday, former players Steve Bull and Mike Summerbee laid bouquets in the centre circle, while Bournemouth chairman Jeff Mostyn and Newcastle co-owner Amanda Staveley did the same at St James’ Park.<\/span><\/p>\n

Tributes were similarly observed at games on the opening weekend of the <\/span>Women’s Super League.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Former <\/span>Tottenham <\/strong>player Ledley King and ex-<\/span>Leicester City<\/strong> striker Emile Heskey laid flowers in the centre circle before Saturday’s late Premier League game at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.<\/span><\/p>\n

While tributes to the Queen were paid across the UK, <\/span>Dundee United<\/strong> say they are “aware of the actions of a small section of the crowd” <\/span>who disturbed a minute’s silence<\/span><\/a> before their <\/span>Scottish Premiership<\/strong> meeting with <\/span>Rangers.<\/strong><\/p>\n

On Sunday a minute’s applause at <\/span>St Mirren<\/strong>, who were hosting <\/span>Celtic <\/strong>in the Scottish Premiership, was disrupted by chants from the away end.<\/span><\/p>\n

Tributes were also paid at Brentford Community Stadium before <\/span>Brentford<\/strong> played <\/span>Arsenal<\/strong> on Sunday, and at Goodison Park prior to <\/span>Everton<\/strong> against <\/span>West Ham.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The minute’s silence was interrupted by some boos at Everton and was brought to an end early, however the vast majority observed the tribute.<\/span><\/p>\n

Everton manager Frank Lampard and West Ham boss David Moyes laid wreaths in the centre circle, and the national anthem was played before the final game of a truncated weekend of Premier League football.<\/span><\/p>\n

Three matches – Crystal Palace at Brighton, Leeds against Manchester United and Chelsea at home to Liverpool – were all postponed because of policing issues, with resources being directed to preparations for the state funeral on Monday.<\/span><\/p>\n

The English Football League resumed on Tuesday, with <\/span>tributes respectfully observed,<\/span><\/a> as they were at Friday’s two Premier League games between Aston Villa and Southampton, and Nottingham Forest and Fulham.<\/span><\/p>\n

All lights were even turned out during the minute’s silence at Villa Park, except for one spotlight on the Aston Villa and Southampton players on the centre circle.<\/span><\/p>\n

At the City Ground, as at other grounds, wreaths were placed in the centre circle before the minute’s silence, with managers Marco Silva and Steve Cooper carrying out the tribute.<\/span><\/p>\n

Arsenal Women observed a minute’s silence for Queen Elizabeth II ahead of the Women’s Super League season opener against Brighton at a sold-out Meadow Park.<\/span><\/p>\n

Tributes were also paid at Leigh Sports Village before Manchester United met Reading on Saturday, and prior to matches on Sunday, including Aston Villa against Manchester City and Liverpool v Chelsea.<\/span><\/p>\n

At all matches, big screens and perimeter boards displayed tribute images to Her Majesty and flags were flown at half-mast.<\/span><\/p>\n

Fans have also been invited to applaud as each game reaches 70 minutes during this round of top-flight games, in honour of the Queen’s 70-year reign.<\/span><\/p>\n
