Tyson Fury pays touching tribute to The Queen alongside wife Paris at Buckingham Palace

Heavyweight champion Tyson Fury and his wife Paris paid their respects to The Queen this week by laying flowers at the gates of Buckingham Palace.

The world continues to mourn the death of Queen Elizabeth II, who passed away peacefully at Balmoral Castle. She died at the age of 96, ending the longest reign by any monarch in British history.

Thousands have gone to pay their respects at The Queen's lying-in-state, including many sporting icons, and now Fury and his wife have made the trip to London ahead of Monday's funeral at Westminster Abbey.

The duo were pictured arriving at the gates of Buckingham Palace, with the boxing icon holding flowers before putting them down on a plaque with a little message to go with them.

The note read: "To Our Queen. Great may your bed be in Heaven. Love from Tyson and Paris."

Fury, who is currently locked in talks to take on British rival Anthony Joshua in a mammoth fight, then signed the note off with his iconic nickname, "The Gypsy King".

Prior to their trip to Buckingham Palace, the couple had shared images of themselves getting the train down to the English capital from Morecambe.

Meanwhile, England and Manchester United icon David Beckham joined thousands of others queuing to pay his respects to the late Queen at the lying-in-state.

And the former footballer was spotted with tears in his eyes as he went to see The Queen's coffin on Friday.

And after his trip to Westminster Abbey, Beckham admitted he had incorrectly hoped that arriving at 2am would have meant the queue would have been shorter.

"I thought by coming at 2am it was going to be a little bit quieter. I was wrong. Everybody had that in mind,” he told ITV.

"The people here are all ages. There was an 84-year-old lady walking around. There was a 90-year-old gentleman walking around. Everybody wants to be here to be a part of this experience and celebrate what Her Majesty has done for us."
