I'm sure events outwith the UK will continueQuote:

Think it's understandable for that particular sport. It was a lifelong passion of the Queen's and her long-standing support was a boost for UK horse racing.Quote:

It’s looking very like, all sporting events will be cancelled for the 12 days mourningQuote:

They actually asked me if there were any sports bars in Edinburgh that showed foreign horse racing, but I'm pretty sure there aren't apart from bookies!
