Postponing sport is ridiculous. A minute's silence would suffice. We don't postpone games when real tragedies occur like Grenfell or terrorist attacks. They won't be cancelling work for the next two weeks so why cancel people's enjoyment. It's an archaic mournfest.

It would make complete sense to postpone games tomorrow and that day or even that weekend so that there is a full programme one midweek. Everything else is excessive. The FA gave guidance for Man Utd and West Ham to play tonight so hopefully that’s a precedent set and we can play this weekend.

For me cancel everything when her funeral is taking place (for example if it is Friday at lunch time cancel everything around that time 3hrs either side or something) nothing should be cancelled this weekend. Everything should go ahead as normal but put on a special performance or silence for her majesty

Have to make sure the public know their place and that a rich old lady in a shiny hat is more important than everyone else. The BBC even said the cost of living crisis pales in comparison to the Queen dying so that pretty much shows where the priorities are. Your grandmother freezing to death because she can't afford to pay the gas bill is nothing compared to the rich grandma of people who did nothing to earn their wealth and power other than win the genetic lottery.
