ITV has confirmed further details of its coverage for the Queen's funeral, including who will present it, after previously revealing that the state event will be 'the biggest outside broadcast' in its history.
Earlier this week, the broadcaster announced its large scale plans for Her Majesty's funeral, including intentions to air the same live coverage across all of its channels, meaning that usual programming on ITV2, 3 and 4 and ITVBe, will be suspended. ITV 's extensive reporting of the service and the build up to it, will kick off with a special episode of Good Morning Britain, from 6am.
Starting at 9.30am, a special programme titled Queen Elizabeth II: The State Funeral, fronted by Tom Bradby and Julie Etchingham, will guide viewers through the historic day, covering the funeral service at Westminster Abbey, the mile-long military procession escorting the Queen through London, the Queen’s final journey to Windsor and the committal service at St George’s Chapel.
