Leicester City players led an emotional minute’s silence on Saturday to victims of the club’s helicopter tragedy.
And they were joined by players, fans, staff and officials across the country as football grounds fell silent ahead of the 3pm round of fixtures.
Goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel appeared moved to tears during the silence ahead of Leicester's game at Cardiff City. Immediately after the crash, he was one of the first people on the scene to witness the devastation.
Titus Francis wrote online: "Kasper Schmeichel is in bits on that minute's silence. Fair play for him playing this game after."
Ed Hawksby said: "Such sad scenes seeing Kasper Schmeichel in tears at kick off, a fitting tribute you can tell how much The Boss meant to him."
Paul Dawkins posted on Twitter: "Kasper Schmeichel looks like he's about to start crying again. Hell, all the Leicester players do."
The Cardiff match is the club’s first game since the crash.
Supporters from both sides passed huge flags reading "RIP Vichai" before the players, dressed in black, gathered around the centre circle for the silence.
The 11 Leicester starting players were also joined by substitutes and staff, a rare occurrence for a minute's silence.
Many of the players, who had appeared ashen-faced during their pre-match warm-up, had personal relationships with the club’s owner: a rarity in football. Captain Wes Morgan said before the game: “He was a wonderful man, with a big, big heart. He was caring and would do anything for anybody.”
After the Cardiff game, a number of Leicester players and staff were scheduled to fly to Thailand for Mr Srivaddhanaprabha's funeral.
Manager Claude Puel will be among them, as well as the club’s 2016 title heroes such as Jamie Vardy, Kasper Schmeichel and captain Morgan.
The funeral started on Saturday. Scores of Thai dignitaries and family members were seen at the Wat Thep Sirin Temple in Bangkok as seven days of mourning began for Mr Srivaddhanaprabha.
He has been granted royal sponsorship at his funeral, an honour granted to government officials and high-ranking members of Thai society.
A small group of people with close links to Mr Srivaddhanaprabha's family attended a private gathering ahead of the official ceremony, which starts on Saturday evening.
At the service, Buddhist monks will recite prayers from religious texts and afterwards the body will be kept for 100 days, before a cremation at a later date.
