Sport has paid tribute after Queen Elizabeth II, the UK's longest-serving monarch, died aged 96.

Messages poured in from sporting governing bodies and personalities after her death was announced earlier this morning.

A minute's silence was held at Manchester United, Arsenal and West Ham's European matches.

And in horse racing, the sport most closely linked to Her Majesty, she was described as its "greatest supporter".

Other sports such as Rugby Union, Rugby League, Tennis, Cricket and Golf paid tribute to the late Queen.
