This Morning's Dermot O'Leary has paid a heartfelt tribute to Queen Elizabeth II, after the show was cancelled on Friday in the aftermath of her death.
News was delivered to the nation just after 6.30pm on Thursday that Queen Elizabeth II had died at Balmoral a few hours earlier, at the age of 96, as several senior members of the Royal Family headed to Scotland to be with her. Buckingham Palace announced the death of Her Majesty in a statement which read: 'The Queen died peacefully at Balmoral this afternoon. The King and Queen Consort will remain at Balmoral and return to London in the morning."
After being widely criticised earlier in the day for not scrapping programmes to focus on the news surrounding The Queen's health, ITV swiftly altered its schedule, to allow coverage of The Queen's death to go into the night.
