SPORTS have been advised by the Government in Friday morning’s meeting that events can take place this weekend provided they are staged in a commemorative and respectful manner.
It still remains to be seen whether some sporting events will take place this weekend following the death of The Queen.
Julian Knight, the chair of the Digital, Culture, Media and Sport select committee, said: “This seems to be a sensible approach – that it’s going to be up to individual sports how they mark the passing of our remarkable Queen.
“Whether that is silences, the wearing of black armbands or the singing of the National Anthem, or whether there will be those who wish at this time that perhaps there won’t be having an event at all – it’s completely up to the individual sports.
“But the Government guidance seems to be relatively flexible and understanding.”
