That includes games featuring Gala Fairydean Rovers, Vale of Leithen and Peebles Rovers.

A spokesperson for the East of Scotland leagues added: "All matches involving East of Scotland League clubs scheduled for the forthcoming weekend have been postponed as a mark of respect following the passing of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II."
