"That's it for us this week," Holly told viewers at home. "We'll be off air as ITV news will have special coverage of King Charles' visit to Wales. We'll be back on Tuesday to reflect on Her Majesty's funeral."
"So there's just one left thing to say, thank you ma'am," Phil added. "We'll leave you with some fitting lyrics from our guest today, Katherine Jenkins". The show then moved into an emotional montage of Queen Elizabeth's reign alongside the heartbreaking tune We'll Meet Again.
It means This Morning will be off air on Friday, September 16 for the King's historic visit to Cardiff and on Monday, September 19 for the Queen's funeral. You can see all the details for this here.
