‘God Save the King’ sung for King Charles III for the first time since Queen’s death. A historic rendition of God Save the King took place ahead of the resumption of the third Test between England and South Africa as well as a minute’s silence in a touching tribute to the Queen. Spectators were asked to be in their seats by 10.30am for an on-field celebration of the life of Queen Elizabeth II, who died on Thursday at the age of 96. There was a military guard of honour and a minute’s silence in remembrance of the Queen, before a history-making national anthem after Charles III was proclaimed king at St James’s Palace earlier in the morning. All players and coaches are wearing black armbands as a mark of respect and the crowd are not permitted to wear fancy dress.
