ANNOUNCEMENT: A screen displays a message that play has been suspended following the announcement of the death of Queen Elizabeth II, during day one of the BMW PGA Championship. 

Sport will hold a day of mourning for the Queen on Friday, with the third Test between England and South Africa, the PGA Championship at Wentworth and other major events being paused for at least a day as mark of respect.

It is understood that several sports, including the Premier League, will hold emergency talks on Friday to discuss whether sport should resume at the weekend – with most hoping to do so depending on the public mood.
