Play at the third Test between England and South Africa will begin on Saturday morning, preceded by what may be the first full, official televised rendition of God Save the King at a sporting event. Charles last visited the Oval as recently as June, though it was for a platinum jubilee celebration rather than the Vitality Blast. She [the Queen] loves sport,” the captain wrote on Twitterstating he would “be honored to play in her memory”. Spectators have also been asked to arrive early in order to take part in a celebration of the Queen, which is due to start at 10.30am. Surrey have also made it clear that anyone who turns up in fancy dress will be turned away at the gates.
