Is EastEnders on BBC tonight following the Queen's death?

The BBC has continued to make a number of changes to its TV schedule following the Queen's death. In line with protocol, the BBC was one of the first to break the news of Queen Elizabeth II's passing on Thursday.

Broadcast Huw Edwards delivered the news of the Queen’s death live on BBC One at around 6.30pm on September 8. After an image of the flag at Buckingham Palace was shown at half mast, he told viewers: "A few moments ago Buckingham Palace announced the death of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II."

Edwards, who was dressed in a dark suit, white shirt and black tie, in line with the BBC's dress code for when a member of the royal family dies as a mark of respect, then read out the statement from Buckingham Palace which announced the news.
