Holly Willoughby shares rare snap of her children leaving 'beautiful' tribute to Queen

Holly Willoughby has shared a rare and touching photo of her children leaving a tribute to Queen Elizabeth II following her death on Thursday, September 8. The This Morning presenter revealed her kids had written "the most beautiful words" as the family paid their respects in London.

The 41-year-old shared a poignant picture of her children looking out over floral tributes and cards laid for Britain's longest-reigning monarch with her eight million Instagram followers. She captioned the image: "Time to reflect and pay our respects… the children wrote the most beautiful words."

It comes after Holly wrote her own tribute just days before. Sharing images of the late Queen, the television host said: "Thank you for your lifetime of service and humble commitment to duty… you really were the best of us, you never let us down."

Holly will be back on screen with her co-host Phillip Schofield on Monday, September 12. It comes after This Morning was pulled on Friday as broadcasters adjusted or removed shows from the schedule to air special coverage.

This Morning will air at a later time of 11am and the special episode will see Holly and Phil share stories and memories from people who met and encountered The Queen during her reign. You can read more on this here.

Holly's post comes after The One Show's Alex Jones shared the touching way her five-year-old son reacted to the news the Queen had died. During a special episode of the BBC One programme, she said: "When I got home on Thursday the first thing he said was "mama are you okay?' He understood the importance."

The 45-year-old then went on to add that her little one wondered what he should do with all his books that featured the Queen. Alex continued: "He said, 'well what will we do with all our books?' Peppa goes to London, the Queen is in it, and then Paddington goes to the Palace, because it's all about going to see the Queen." You can read more on this here.
