A West Ham United fan’s video shows a moving piano tribute to the Queen in the train station after the Euro clash with FCSB.
The world was brought to a standstill yesterday when it was confirmed Her Majesty the Queen had passed away aged 96.
Queen Elizabeth II opened West Ham’s redeveloped West Stand at Upton Park and was said to have been a Hammers fan.
Authorities did consider calling off West Ham’s Europa Conference League game against FCSB last night.
West Ham won the game 3-1 and supporters paid a stirring tribute, replacing a planned minute’s silence with applause and several renditions of God Save The Queen.
The Hammers were due to face Newcastle at the London Stadium on Sunday.
The Premier League has now confirmed that this weekend’s fixtures have been postponed in the wake of Her Majesty’s passing.
The Government had told the Premier League games could go ahead and left the decision in their hands.
Opinion seems divided over whether sporting action should have been cancelled.
Piers Morgan and Gary Neville say West Ham proved why games should be going ahead.
Others feel it is the right decision from the Premier League.
West Ham fans have been widely praised for the way they took it on themselves to replace a planned minute’s silence with applause and belting renditions of God Save the Queen, which was repeated throughout the game.
And now a West Ham fan video shows a moving piano tribute to the Queen in the train station after the Euro clash with FCSB.
West Ham fan Guy Woodley took to Twitter to share the emotional video showing a talented man paying a poignant tribute to Queen Elizabeth II on the piano at Stratford International Station near the London Stadium.
“Got back to Stratford tonight and this chap broke my heart, god bless you Lizzie.
“From West Ham United.”
Fantastic. Goosebumps.
Well done to that man and the Hammers fan for sharing a wonderful moment.
