Liverpool fans sent a strong message on the day that King Charles was officially crowned the king of England.
As part of the coronation, the Premier League 'strongly advised' clubs to play the national anthem before every fixture this weekend. On Friday, it was confirmed that the Reds would play 'God Save the King' before their encounter with Brentford.
The decision was widely condemned by fans in the build-up to Saturday's evening kick-off against the Bees. Prior to the game getting underway, the home fans in Anfield drowned out the national anthem with chants of ‘Liverpool, Liverpool!’ before the sound of that familiar drum-roll started up the boos and whistles once again.

Mohamed Salah continued his fine form, scoring in his ninth consecutive home match, to become the fourth Reds player to score 30-plus goals in three consecutive seasons. His first-half effort was enough to seal a sixth straight win for Jurgen Klopp's side to apply pressure on Manchester United in the race for Champions League qualification next season.
As millions around the world tuned in to see the 74-year-old sworn in as the new king of the monarch, during the encounter at Anfield, fans made their feelings clear.
In a video captured from the Kop, fans can be heard chanting: "F*** the Royal Family, feed the poor." (warning strong language)
The chant resonates around the country as poverty and the use of food banks skyrocket from year to year. Ahead of the visit from Thomas Frank's side, Fans Supporting Foodbanks were situated around the iconic L4 stadium taking donations for food and necessities.
