Queen Elizabeth passed away at Balmoral Castle, her Scottish vacation home, where members of the royal family had raced to be by her side, according to Buckingham Palace. Over a picture of the queen wearing all of her regalia, the BBC played the national song.

At the age of 96, Queen Elizabeth II passed away, ending a 70-year reign during which she had an impact on all facets of UK culture, including football.

Some of the most significant occasions in UK football history were witnessed by the Queen. From awarding multiple generations of the game’s most important figures to her regular attendance at the FA Cup final, she has done it all, from giving England’s lone World Cup to Sir Bobby Moore in 1966 to honouring them. There are even claims that throughout her lifetime, the monarch had a special spot for one or perhaps two Premier League teams.
