This Morning presenters Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield have returned to the ITV studio following the storm surrounding their visit to Westminster Hall. The pair have faced criticism on social media this week after they were wrongly accused of jumping the queue to see the Queen Lying-in-State.
Tuesday's show kicked off with a special segment reflecting on the Queen's reign and beautiful memories from viewers, it also shared snippets of Holly and Phil's trip to Westminster with the pair then offering an explanation. It comes after a photograph appeared to show the daytime television hosts in a fast track lane to pay their respects to the monarch, which further caused anger after fellow celebrities Susanna Reid and David Beckham waited many hours in line with members of the public.
In a pre-recorded message, Holly said: "Like hundreds of accredited broadcasters and journalists, we were given official permission to access the hall. It was strictly for the purpose of reporting on the event for millions of people in the UK, who haven't been able to visit Westminster in person.
