Authorized voices of English football such as Gary Neville either Peter bowed led the opinion that the best way to pay tribute to the death of Queen Isabel II is that football can pay tribute: black armband, minute of silence and representation of the National Anthem.

What Gary Neville respond by saying “I agree, piers. Sport can show better than anyone the respect the Queen deserves.”

And they all have the same opinion. To Queen Isabel II he loved sport and, in a situation like this, like his death, the best way to pay tribute is for English football and sports fans to show them their love and deep respect one last time, every time premier game. league, before millions of people watching on television around the world.
