This Morning viewers have raised concerns with the ITV show after a segment which saw thousands of mourners queue to see Her Majesty The Queen lying-in-state. The daytime TV show returned on Wednesday (September 13) for an extended three-hour long programme dedicated to the Queen.
The show, fronted by Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield, was taken off air on Friday (September 9) in the wake of Queen Elizabeth II's death.
