Arsenal’s winning start to their Europa League campaign was overshadowed by the death of Britain's Queen Elizabeth as their players and those of FC Zurich held a minute’s silence before the start of the second half in Switzerland.
The announcement came from Buckingham Palace during the interval in St Gallen, where Arsenal secured a 2-1 victory in their opening Group A encounter.
Zurich sit ninth in a 10-team Swiss Super League with no wins and just two points from their first seven fixtures and saw this game moved from their home ground following a clash with a Diamond League athletics meeting.
Mikel Arteta made seven changes from the Premier League defeat to Manchester United with Marquinhos impressing on his senior debut with a goal and an assist.
