A period of silence to mark the death of Baroness Thatcher before today's rugby union Premiership game between Exeter and London Irish did not pass off completely peacefully.

While the majority of fans respected the silence, it did start with a number of boos, and one or two shouts from the crowd.

Impeccable silences to mark Monday's anniversary of the Hillsborough disaster were observed before the Premier League football contests involving Liverpool and Everton.

Some Liverpool fans then sung negative songs about the former Prime Minister during their match at Reading.
