Fixtures are still on the BBC website. I side more towards being a Royalist but think games and other events should go ahead this weekend with tributes.

Man Utd host Real Sociedad at Old Trafford tonight and that is going ahead...

It will have been too late to cancel the match tonight. Police and other authorities probably requested it went ahead for public safety reasons.

The Queen passing makes me very sad and I respect everything around this in terms of respect & reverence.

I wouldn’t know if this is right or not but she respected people and I doubt she’d expect her passing to get in the way of what is important to people in their every day lives.

If the government get involved there will be no games, wrong shaped ball for that lot I’m afraid.

I'm not a Royalist but I respect those that are, and their views, and i agree it is a sad day, but, if games are still played this weekend, i wonder how many Royalists will stay away out of respect.

They’ll bottle it and I’d imagine all this weekends fixtures will be called off.

Midweek could be different, seems odd though given the queen was very much in to her sports.

Looks like sport will be cancelled but we get only one day off work or college.

I would have thought that thousands of football fans all over this country paying tribute to the queens service before kick off would be far more reverential than everyone sitting individually in their own homes.
The country rightfully mourns but life goes on and has to.

Not that I personally think it's the right thing but I just always assumed that when the Queen died then the protocol would be for the following weekends matches get postponed. Even when Princess Diana died I remember there were definitely some fixture cancellations.
