No - this was something that happened in England. In Kent to be precise.
It is to do with that, but what was the announcement that was delayed because of the queen's death?

Three female bison were released in Kent in July last year, with a male due to join them in October to start a breeding program.

The last time Watford got a refereeing decision in their favour
I doubt that, but the 'connection' was, at the time, an international referee - as well as being an official of another type.
Sir Stanley Rous ( secretary of the FA at the time of the match in question (1938 ?) suggested to the England team that they give the Nazi salute to engender goodwill - having not done so on a previous occasion (1936)which apparently offended the German government. He later wrote that the team weren't that bothered by the action - something fiercely disputed later by, among others Stanley Matthews
