Phillip Schofield delivered a short but powerful tribute to the Queen as the end of Thursday's This Morning has viewers at home in tears.
This Morning has seen its scheduling impacted significantly by the Queen's death a week ago, with it scrapped completely on Friday as ITV delivered rolling news coverage on the events that followed. When it returned on Monday, the episode was devoted to Her Majesty's passing as Phillip and co-host Holly Willoughby paying their own tributes to the much loved monarch, as colleagues Alison Hammond and Dermot O'Leary were filmed looking at the many floral tributes outside Buckingham Palace and in Green Park.
The show came to an earlier than expected end as ITV cut to coverage from Edinburgh of The Queen's coffin moving from Holyrood on its way to St Giles' for a thanksgiving service, which saw her four children keep vigil by her coffin. This Morning has stayed on screen ever since, with Phillip and Holly joined by guests who'd met Her Majesty over the years, including opera singer Katherine Jenkins and legendary broadcaster Sir Trevor McDonald.
