The Football Association (FA) is the latest governing body to “join our nation in mourning” the loss of the Queen.
Buckingham Palace confirmed on Thursday that Her Majesty had passed away peacefully at the age of 96, with members of the Royal Family travelling to Balmoral to be by her side.
The Queen famously handed over the Jules Rimet Trophy to Bobby Moore after England’s World Cup final triumph over West Germany at Wembley in 1966.
Meanwhile, she recently told the women’s football team – the Lionesses – that their home triumph at Euro 2022 would serve as “an inspiration for girls and women today, and for future generations”.
We have sent our deepest condolences to our president, HRH The Duke of Cambridge and the whole of the @RoyalFamily following the passing of Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II.
