Tributes have continued to pour in for Prince Philip from across the world of sport on Saturday, the day after his death was announced.
The Duke of Edinburgh - husband of the Queen - passed away at Windsor Castle at the age of 99 on Friday after suffering from ill health.
On Friday there were immediate tributes from the Grand National at Aintree, Wembley Stadium and County Championship cricket matches.
And more sporting events paid tribute to the Duke, with the early afternoon Premier League match between Manchester City and Leeds holding a two minute silence, as all matches played this weekend will.
The players and staff completed an impeccably observed two minutes in an empty Etihad Stadium, with players sporting black armbands.
Manchester City and Leeds had both tweeted out statements offering condolence yesterday ahead of their match.
City said: 'Manchester City extends its sincere condolences to the Royal Family following the sad news that His Royal Highness Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh has passed away at the age of 99.'
Leeds added: 'The thoughts of everyone at #LUFC are with Her Majesty The Queen and the Royal Family following the passing of His Royal Highness The Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh.'
Silence was also observed at the youth level at an U18 fixture between Manchester United and Stoke, with players standing around the centre circle.
The Challenge Cup quarter-final between Leicester Tigers and Newcastle at Welford Road displayed a picture of Prince Philip with a black background.
On Friday it was confirmed the Grand National at Aintree in Liverpool would go ahead despite the death, with the Union Jack flown at half mast and jockeys and fans also joining in a two minute silence.
The England football team stadium Wembley in North London displayed a prominent tribute, while County Championship matches including Yorkshire against Glamorgan featuring England captain Joe Root, held silences and players wore black armbands.
Meanwhile, the England and Wales Cricket board announced it was 'deeply saddened' by his passing and highlighted his contributions to the sport through various cricket organisations, including trophy presentations and charitable work.
The FA announced their intention to honour his life by flying flags at Wembley and St George's Park at half mast.
'We have sent our deepest condolences to Her Majesty the Queen and our president, HRH The Duke of Cambridge, following the passing of HRH The Duke of Edinburgh,' it said on Twitter.
'As a mark of our respect, all flags at @WembleyStadium and St. George's Park will fly at half-mast.
And the Premier League wrote: 'We are deeply saddened to hear of the passing of His Royal Highness The Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh. Our thoughts and condolences are with Her Majesty The Queen, The Royal Family and all those around the world mourning the loss of His Royal Highness.
'As a mark of respect, players will wear black armbands and there will be a minute's silence before kick-off at all Premier League matches played tonight and across the weekend.'

I am not British, why should I show respect for him? What good has he done for anyone? Your royalty just lives off of the lives of the common people, they haven’t worked a single day in their life
If anyone dies they deserve atleast some slither of respect (some less than others yes let's not bring up the Nazis or Stalin or the likes). And it would depend on your definition of working, because they do have to do a lot of things, they don't just exist. Also for your comment of living of the back of the common people, I worked it out roughly because I had this argument with my friend last night, each taxpayer only has to pay around £7 a year to them, which is a very small number, about the price of a Whopper from Burger King or 3 cans of Red Bull (depending where you buy it from), and given that minimum wage is around £13,000 pounds a year it's not a huge disparity

Actually we weren't the only ones who were involved in the slave trading, involving Africans. The Spanish, French, Dutch, Portuguese and I'm fairly certain Italians were also involved, not to mention individuals. It's not even the same family that oversaw the slave trade, it's changed twice since them. So please show a bit of respect to the Prince

Well hope others will know when you die. Because only your family and neighbours and some few friends will care.

I will never show respect to those British pigs, especially the royalty, they just live off of the backs of the other people, they didn’t work a single day in their lives, why would I show the slightest respect?
