Football’s showy over-reaction is a recipe for resentment

The Premier League cancelled all games this weekend following the death of Queen Elizabeth. The decision is absurd and showy. It is a recipe for resentment. Other sports are going ahead. Cricket, golf, Rugby Union and Rugby League are all going on as planned. Horse racing will take place on Sunday. The final classic of the season will be held at Doncaster. Queen's first race meeting was at Ascot on May 21, 1945. She was 19 at the time. Her horse Aureole had just had a workout. After the war, she attended her Coronation. On May 22, the Queen attended the Great North Run in Newcastle.
