George VI

When the British monarch passed away in 1952, football matches continued and paid their respects to the king.

Conor Pope is the Online Editor of FourFourTwo, overseeing all digital content, and joined the team in February 2019. However, it is expected that following the death of Queen Elizabeth II, sports fixtures including all football matches, will be suspended. The National Theatre will close if the news breaks before 4pm, and stay open if not.
