We await news to hear how many United games will be postponed, but we can forget about facing Crystal Palace at the weekend. Leeds at home could even be in doubt.
However, United’s game with Real Sociedad went ahead because it was too late to cancel, with Real Sociedad and their fans having travelled from Spain.
The Queen will be given a full state funeral, as a tradition to mark the death of a monarch.
May her soul rest in perfect peace
May her soul Rest in perfect peace will lord amen
