Sporting Tributes for Queen Elizabeth II

By Sport Editor 2 years ago

The Stand looks at how sport pauses to pay tribute to the Queen.

The sporting world has been paying its tributes to Queen Elizabeth II, the UK’s longest-serving monarch. She died on Thursday 8 September at Balmoral aged 96, 70 years after she came to the throne.

 

Horse Racing

The Queen has always taken a keen interest in riding and as recently as this summer, at the age of 96, she was able to return onto horseback, taking a trip around Windsor. Lady Louise, one of Queen Elizabeth’s grandchildren, wore a necklace with a horse shaped pendant at a vigil in Westminster Palace on Saturday in a clear nod to their shared love of horses. The Queen herself owned horses which were trained by some of the top in the sport such as Michael Stoute, John Gosden and Michael Bell.

The British Horseracing Authority said in a statement: “All of British Racing is in mourning today following the passing of Her Majesty The Queen. Her Majesty has been one of the greatest and most influential supporters in the history of horse racing. Her passion for racing and the racehorse shone brightly throughout her life, not only through her close involvement in breeding and racing horses, but in her roles as a patron of The Jockey Club and Thoroughbred Breeders Association, and as the figurehead of Royal Ascot.”

Over the years at Royal Ascot, The Queen has visited the winners’ enclosure on 24 distinctive occasions from the 1950s right up to her last victory in 2020 indicating just how involved the Queen was in horseracing and how much it meant to her throughout her tenure on the throne.

The BHA stated that “British racing will not go ahead on Monday 19 September – the date of the funeral of Her Late Majesty The Queen. This will give everyone involved in British racing the opportunity to mourn Her Late Majesty’s passing and offer thanks for her contribution to our sport and the nation.”

Football

After the death of Queen Elizabeth II on Thurday 8 September, football throughout the whole of Britain was called off that weekend. Therefore, this weekend was the first time that clubs could pay their respects to the late monarch on pitch and with fans in the stands.

Teams and match officials all wore black armbands, while at all five Premier League matches this weekend, wreaths were laid inside the centre circle. Players, staff and supporters observed a minute’s silence and sang the national anthem in memory of The Queen.

League Two club, Mansfield Town, released 96 doves as a tribute to Queen Elizabeth II, one dove for every year of her life.

Scottish Premiership clubs also paused to pay respect to the Queen, with a minute’s silence and applause at grounds across the country as well as players and match officials wearing black armbands.

Cricket

The England and Wales Cricket Board Chair Richard Thompson said: “I’m sure I speak for everyone in the game when I say how truly sad I am to hear of the Queen’s passing. Her Majesty has been such a great supporter of the game and was always so vocal of her and her late husband’s enjoyment around the sport. Her dedication to her country will never be forgotten. For her service and her selflessness over her extraordinary reign, we owe her a debt that can never be repaid.”

Day two of England men’s Test match against South Africa was called off after the death of the Queen. Tributes were paid at The Oval on day three from both sides by observing a minute’s silence. God Save The King was also played followed by sustained applause from the crowd in South London. England’s women also observed similar tributes to Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II before their T20 match against India on 10 September.

Formula One

Seven-time British Formula 1 world champion Sir Lewis Hamilton posted his own tribute to Queen Elizabeth II on Instagram.

Athletics

Tributes were paid to Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II at the Great North Run which took place on 11 September. The Great North Run is a 13.1 mile run from Newcastle to South Shields and it is the second largest half marathon in the world. A minute’s silence was observed before the race followed by a rendition of God Save the King, which was greeted by spontaneous applause before Commonwealth 10,000m champion Eilish McColgan sent the elite men and the rest of the field on their way.

Olympic gold medallist Sir Mo Farah wrote on twitter: “My condolences to the Royal Family at this very sad time. The Queen was loved all over the world and meant so much to so many. Meeting her was one of the greatest honours of my life.”

 

In the last 70 years, throughout Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II’s reign, so much has happened in the sporting world. The Queen’s death marks the end of an era for British sport as well as the birth of a new one. May the next 70 years hopefully be as successful as the last.

    Understanding COSC Accreditation and Its Importance in Horology
    COSC Validation and its Stringent Standards
    COSC, or the Controle Officiel Suisse des Chronometres, is the authorized Switzerland testing agency that certifies the precision and precision of timepieces. COSC validation is a mark of superior craftsmanship and reliability in timekeeping. Not all timepiece brands seek COSC certification, such as Hublot, which instead follows to its proprietary demanding criteria with movements like the UNICO, attaining comparable accuracy.

    The Art of Exact Timekeeping
    The central mechanism of a mechanized timepiece involves the mainspring, which supplies power as it unwinds. This mechanism, however, can be prone to external factors that may affect its accuracy. COSC-certified mechanisms undergo demanding testing—over 15 days in various conditions (5 positions, 3 temperatures)—to ensure their resilience and reliability. The tests measure:

    Typical daily rate accuracy between -4 and +6 seconds.
    Mean variation, maximum variation levels, and effects of thermal changes.
    Why COSC Validation Is Important
    For watch enthusiasts and connoisseurs, a COSC-accredited watch isn’t just a item of tech but a proof to enduring excellence and accuracy. It represents a watch that:

    Provides exceptional dependability and accuracy.
    Ensures confidence of quality across the entire construction of the timepiece.
    Is apt to hold its value more effectively, making it a sound choice.
    Well-known Chronometer Manufacturers
    Several well-known brands prioritize COSC accreditation for their timepieces, including Rolex, Omega, Breitling, and Longines, among others. Longines, for instance, presents collections like the Archive and Soul, which feature COSC-accredited mechanisms equipped with cutting-edge materials like silicon equilibrium springs to enhance durability and performance.

    Historical Background and the Development of Chronometers
    The idea of the chronometer originates back to the requirement for precise timekeeping for navigational at sea, emphasized by John Harrison’s work in the 18th century. Since the official foundation of Controle Officiel Suisse des Chronometres in 1973, the accreditation has become a benchmark for evaluating the precision of high-end timepieces, continuing a tradition of superiority in horology.

    Conclusion
    Owning a COSC-accredited watch is more than an aesthetic choice; it’s a dedication to quality and accuracy. For those valuing accuracy above all, the COSC certification offers peace of thoughts, ensuring that each accredited watch will perform reliably under various conditions. Whether for individual contentment or as an investment, COSC-certified timepieces distinguish themselves in the world of watchmaking, carrying on a legacy of careful chronometry.

  23. Throughout the awesome scheme of things you secure an A+ just for effort. Exactly where you actually confused me ended up being in your facts. You know, as the maxim goes, details make or break the argument.. And that couldn’t be much more true in this article. Having said that, allow me tell you just what exactly did work. Your authoring is certainly rather powerful and that is probably the reason why I am taking the effort to opine. I do not make it a regular habit of doing that. Next, while I can see a leaps in reasoning you make, I am not really convinced of just how you seem to connect your details which in turn make the final result. For the moment I shall yield to your point but trust in the future you link the facts much better.

  31. 로드스탁과의 레버리지 방식의 스탁: 투자 전략의 새로운 영역

    로드스탁에서 공급하는 레버리지 스탁은 증권 투자의 한 방식으로, 큰 이익율을 목표로 하는 투자자들에게 매력적인 선택입니다. 레버리지를 사용하는 이 방법은 투자자들이 자신의 투자금을 초과하는 자금을 투입할 수 있도록 하여, 증권 시장에서 훨씬 큰 작용을 가질 수 있는 기회를 줍니다.

    레버리지 방식의 스탁의 기본 원칙
    레버리지 방식의 스탁은 원칙적으로 투자금을 대여하여 사용하는 방법입니다. 사례를 들어, 100만 원의 투자금으로 1,000만 원 상당의 주식을 취득할 수 있는데, 이는 투자자들이 기본적인 자본보다 훨씬 훨씬 더 많은 증권을 사들여, 증권 가격이 올라갈 경우 관련된 더욱 큰 이익을 얻을 수 있게 해줍니다. 그렇지만, 증권 값이 하락할 경우에는 그 손해 또한 커질 수 있으므로, 레버리지 사용을 사용할 때는 신중하게 생각해야 합니다.

    투자 계획과 레버리지 사용
    레버리지 사용은 특히 성장 잠재력이 상당한 회사에 적용할 때 도움이 됩니다. 이러한 기업에 높은 비중으로 투입하면, 성공적일 경우 큰 수입을 가져올 수 있지만, 반대 경우의 경우 많은 리스크도 감수해야. 따라서, 투자자들은 자신의 리스크 관리 능력을 가진 장터 분석을 통해 통해, 일정한 회사에 얼마만큼의 자금을 적용할지 결정해야 합니다.

    레버리지의 이점과 위험성
    레버리지 방식의 스탁은 상당한 수익을 제공하지만, 그만큼 높은 위험도 동반합니다. 주식 거래의 변동은 추정이 힘들기 때문에, 레버리지를 이용할 때는 언제나 상장 동향을 정밀하게 관찰하고, 손해를 최소화할 수 있는 계획을 세워야 합니다.

    결론: 조심스러운 선택이 필요
    로드스탁에서 공급하는 레버리지 스탁은 효과적인 투자 수단이며, 적절히 활용하면 상당한 수입을 벌어들일 수 있습니다. 그렇지만 높은 리스크도 고려해야 하며, 투자 결정이 필요한 데이터와 신중한 판단 후에 이루어져야 합니다. 투자자 본인의 재정적 상태, 위험 수용 능력, 그리고 장터 상황을 생각한 안정된 투자 계획이 중요하며.

  40. I was curious if you ever thought of changing the structure of your blog? Its very well written; I love what youve got to say. But maybe you could a little more in the way of content so people could connect with it better. Youve got an awful lot of text for only having 1 or 2 pictures. Maybe you could space it out better?
