There have been moving and respectful tributes to Queen Elizabeth II as sports resumed in Britain following a nationwide shutdown Friday as a mark of respect for the monarch.
The BMW PGA Championship, the flagship event on the European tour, was stopped near the end of the first round on Thursday following the announcement of the queen’s death — there were still 30 players out on the course — and there was no play on Friday.
The proclamation of King Charles III was shown on the television screens in the Championship Village after the two-minute period of silence took place at 9:50 a.m. “I have heard from so many players that want to honor Her Majesty,” Pelley said, “and felt that playing was the right way to do it.” The decision of soccer to cancel games has proved to be divisive, with some feeling the game — and its many fans — missed a chance to honor the queen in the way other sports have.
