Fulham, carried wreaths as they led their teams out toward the center circle ahead of a pre-match minute’s silence for Queen Elizabeth II at the City Ground.

Over at Villa Park, the lights were dimmed, the middle of the field was illuminated and tributes to the late monarch were displayed on the screens.

Later, a soprano sang 'God Save the King' in front of the players of Aston Villa and Southampton. When the clock reached 70 minutes at both matches, fans stood and applauded in memory of the queen — who died last week after 70 years on the throne.

Play even briefly stopped. The queen was remembered and honoured with touching tributes as the Premier League resumed after a two-week break -- prompted by the death of the long-serving monarch -- with wins for Fulham and Villa on Friday.
