Mocking England's Misery: Memes poke fun at Gerrard & Co after their disastrous defeat at the hands of pantomime villain Suarez

Royal blue: This picture has superimposed the Queen's head on to that of one of the Uruguay coaching staff, making it look as if Suarez has the monarch in a headlock


England's 2-1 defeat to Uruguay has left millions depressed today, but these images lampooning captain Steven Gerrard and even the Queen might raise a wry smile. 
The memes also celebrate Luis Suarez, the destroyer of Roy Hodgson's side's World Cup hopes, and show the Liverpool striker who scored twice last night as Superman and even with Her Majesty in a headlock.
Others included a dig at Gerrard, whose backheader led to Uruguay's second goal, and a Scotland fan celebrating wildly with Uruguayans in Sao Paulo.
Here are some of the most popular:
