The 'period of silence' at Anfield lasted for about 30 seconds and was observed by all but a handful of those in the stadiumTributes to the Queen were impeccably observed across 30 EFL games and at Liverpool and Tottenham's Champions League games as football resumed in the UK following the weekend postponements.

A minute's silence was respected at Swansea City for the only EFL game taking place in Wales while the Championship club opted not to play the National Anthem before their home game with Sheffield United.
Liverpool said before the game that a 'period of silence' would be held and it lasted for about 30 seconds.
Liverpool fans booed 'Abide With Me' and 'God Save the Queen' before last season's FA Cup final but manager Jurgen Klopp said on Monday he was confident they would show respect against Ajax, as they did against Manchester United last season following the death of Cristiano Ronaldo's baby boy.

Russell Watson sang the national anthem before Preston's Championship game with Burnley and for AFC Wimbledon's League Two home game with Northampton, local MPs recorded their own messages, which were played as they joined a group of more than 50 dignitaries to lay a floral tribute in the centre-circle before kick-off.
