EastEnders made an urgent change to its opening scenes on Monday night to honour the Queen, with Kellie Bright's character Linda saying it was like 'we've all lost our Nan.'
By the time the show went out on air, it had been four days since Her Majesty's passing at Balmoral, at the age of 96, with EastEnders one of a number of shows that were taken off BBC One on Thursday and Friday as the channel focused on rolling coverage on tributes and the events that followed.
The long-running soap was back on Monday, as the BBC announced that all this week's episodes were available on iPlayer and the opening moments of the programme saw the show make a touching tribute to Queen Elizabeth II.
