Liverpool have requested the opportunity to hold a minute's silence as a mark of respect for Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II on Tuesday night against Ajax.
And Jurgen Klopp says he expects the Reds fans to perfectly observe the period before Tuesday's Champions League meeting with the Dutch giants at Anfield.
After Saturday's meeting with Wolves was part of the nationwide cancellation of football over the weekend, the club requested UEFA the chance to mark the passing of Her Majesty, who passed away on Thursday aged 96 after 70 years on the throne.

Klopp said he and his players wanted to play the Premier League fixture on Saturday but understood why the decision was taken - and the manager is anticipating supporters to mark the pre-match moment respectfully on Tuesday, using an incident against Manchester United in April when fans took part in a minute's applause in respect for Cristiano Ronaldo's family following the death of his son as a reason for his belief.
"Did I want to play the Wolves game? Yes, but of course now in a week now with Sunday, Wednesday, Saturday, it would have been tough on everyone anyway, coming back Thursday afternoon [from Italy] and stuff like this," Klopp said. "But yes, we would have wanted to play
"For the reasons we all know it didn’t happen and of course we respect that. And now we tried to use the time for analysis and training which made absolute sense after the game we had in Napoli.
"I think [the minute's silence] is the right thing to do, but I don’t think that our people need any kind of advice from me for showing respect. There are plenty of times when people have shown exactly the right kind of respect.
"One example, and it surprised me, which I was really proud of at that moment, was last season when we played Manchester United and there was a very sad situation around Cristiano Ronaldo’s family. For me it is clear, that is what we have to do, so that is it."
Asked to sum up his reaction to the passing of the Monarch, the Liverpool boss added: "I am 55 years old and she is the only Queen of England that I have ever known. I didn't know her but you can see she was a really warm, nice, loved lady and that is what you need to know.
"It is not about what I think but people who are or felt much closer to her, I respect their grief a lot and that is why I will show my respect tomorrow night with a minute's silence if it goes through."
