The Queen: Friday's EFL games postponed as a 'mark of respect'

Friday's games in the English Football League have been postponed following the death of Queen Elizabeth II.

Her Majesty passed away at her home in Balmoral on Thursday at the age of 96.

Norwich were scheduled to visit Burnley in the Championship on Friday, while Tranmere Rovers and Stockport were set to meet in League Two.

Both games have now been called off, with the EFL confirming a decision will be made on the rest of the weekend's games on Friday.

A statement on the EFL website read: "As a mark of respect, following the passing of Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II earlier today, the fixtures scheduled for tomorrow evening (Friday, September 9) – Burnley vs Norwich and Tranmere vs Stockport - have been postponed.

"A determination regarding the remainder of this weekend's scheduled fixtures will be made following a review of the official mourning guidance, in addition to further consultation with DCMS [Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport] and other sports on Friday morning."
