In the wake of the Queen's death, and as the country enters a 10-day period of national mourning, TV schedules across all major stations and channels have been altered as a mark of respect. Queen Elizabeth II died peacefully at Balmoral at the age of 96 on Thursday. In an unprecedented move, the public were notified of the Queen's ill-health in the afternoon, and broadcasters swiftly switched to airing special news coverage. When her death was sadly announced just hours later, schedulers began the task of rearranging programming for the coming weeks, with tributes replacing dramas, reality television shows and comedies. Programmes affected include daytime TV such as This Morning and Loose Women, as well as soaps such as EastEnders, Coronation Street and Emmerdale.
This story will be updated as new information comes to light. Friday's schedules BBC One is airing news coverage for the rest of the day with its usual schedule pulled.
BBC Two will air EastEnders tonight at 7pm. Richard Osman House of Games, Gardeners' World and Gone Fishing remain in the schedule.
ITV daytime programmes have been pulled and replaced with rolling news. Channel 4 News will be a two hour special this evening from 7 to 9pm.
Gogglebox is still scheduled, but OK! has contacted Channel 4 for confirmation it will air as planned. Emmerdale and Coronation Street Emmerdale was cancelled on Thursday night, as was Friday's episode. Coronation Street has also been pulled from Friday's schedule with plans for next week's episodes due to be confirmed in due course. ITV will instead air news coverage followed by The Longest Reign, a documentary on Her Majesty. Weekend schedules The Masked Dancer and The Voice UK are still showing on the ITV schedule
