Tyson and Paris Fury leave beautiful flowers for Queen in London after moving tribute

Tyson and Paris Fury headed to London and were seen paying their respects to the Queen following her death. The heavyweight champion and his wife were snapped outside Buckingham Palace where they laid flowers for the late monarch, who died last Thursday (September 8), aged 96.

Hundreds of thousands of people have been flocking to the capital in a bid to pay their respects to the late monarch, Queen Elizabeth II - whether that be leaving floral tributes outside the Palace, which are then moved to nearby Green Park, or to see her lie in state in Westminster Hall ahead of the state funeral on Monday, September 19.

Tyson and Paris were snapped hand in hand. Paris looked glamourous in a pair of pink wide-legged trousers with a white shirt tucked in and matching heels while Tyson opted for a smart polo shirt and trousers.

Tyson held onto a beautiful white rose bouquet which was then laid outside the iconic London landmark, which Queen Elizabeth reportedly dubbed 'the office', alongside a heartfelt message which the boxer signed 'Gypsy King'. The card read: "To Our Queen, great may your bed be in Heaven. Love from Tyson and Paris xx Gypsy King x."

It comes after Tyson reacted to the Queen's death when it was announced at around 6.30pm last Thursday in a brief statement released by the Palace. " Thoughts & prayers with my Queen tonight," he typed alongside a picture of Her Majesty on the throne. M ay God be with you."

He then added: "RIP. may the lord god grant u a good bed in heaven." Paris also shared her own tribute. Alongside a montage of images of the Queen from throughout the years, she wrote: "RIP to our Queen Elizabeth, sad is today."

Queen Elizabeth II, 96, was the nation’s longest-reigning monarch, serving as head of state for more than 70 years. The Prince of Wales is now King, having acceded to the throne immediately on the death of his mother. In a statement, the Palace said: "The Queen died peacefully at Balmoral this afternoon. The King and The Queen Consort will remain at Balmoral this evening and will return to London tomorrow."

David Beckham has been among the mourners queuing to pay his respects to the Queen as she lie in state. His wait to file past the Queen's coffin began at 2am on Friday morning (September 16). He went early to try and avoid the crowds. However, he was spotted by fellow well-wishers, with pictures of him circulating on social media before he was interviewed by ITV.

David, 47 who is married to former Spice Girl Victoria, looked emotional as he made his way down the steps inside Westminster Hall. He appeared to wipe away a tear as he approached the side of the coffin before taking a moment to pause. He then bowed before moving on with the rest of the crowds who had also paid their final respects.

Good Morning Britain's Susanna Reid also spent seven hours queuing with her mother, Sue, to share her final moments with the late monarch while This Morning hosts Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield also cut sombre figures as they headed inside Westminster Hall.
