It has been a terribly sad and emotional past few days, not just in the United Kingdom but across the world.

The passing of Queen Elizabeth II last Thursday was tough to take for so many. To those who adored her the most, she was an incredible woman who represented a beacon of hope and happiness throughout her 70 years on the throne.

Her passing was confirmed just a couple of hours before West Ham were due to host FCSB in the Europa Conference League, but it was decided the game would still be played. What followed was a moment that will be remembered by all who were in attendance; in what had initially been planned as a minute's silence to remember the Queen before kick-off, fans in attendance instead decided to honour her memory by belting out the national anthem. It was a hair-tingling moment of emotion and respect, which earned West Ham fans the respect and plaudits of neutrals from all over the world as a result.

A touching tribute to Her Majesty.

On this week's show, James and Will spend much of it reflecting on the events of the last few days as they try to process the magnitude of what's happened, while also looking back on the 3-1 victory over FCSB.

Will then has a chat with Football In Denmark's Henry Nicholls for the third time this season as they preview Thursday's trip to Silkeborg, while James previews the visit to Everton with GiveMeSport's Ethan Maddison.
