Former Liverpool and Manchester United striker Michael Owen was left mortified during an encounter with Queen Elizabeth II at Royal Ascot.
Owen, an 89-cap England international, shared details of the incident in his book. An owner of a number of race horses, the 42-year-old was invited into the royal lift at the Ascot racecourse when the monarch was present.
The death of the Queen on Thursday was met with a number of tributes at that evening's games, with further matches postponed over the weekend. In the days since, plenty of stories about Elizabeth II have been shared, while others - like Owen's - have resurfaced.
