In search of some 'light relief', Gogglebox fans tuned in to the return of the telly favourite on the day the country entered National Mourning. There was uncertainty over whether the show would return to Channel 4 tonight (September 9) as planned after months off air following news of the Queen's tragic passing.
It was announced at around 6.30pm on Thursday (September 8) that Queen Elizabeth had died peacefully, aged 96, at Balmoral, her Scottish Highlands home. Her death was announced after Charles, now King, rushed to be by his beloved mother's bedside after doctors became concerned for the Queen's health.
The Palace said in a brief statement: "The Queen died peacefully at Balmoral this afternoon. The King and The Queen Consort will remain at Balmoral this evening and will return to London tomorrow."
