Thousands of This Morning fans have signed a petition to see Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield 'axed' from the programme as they continue to face backlash over accusations they 'jumped the queue' to see the Queen lie in state.
Prior to her funeral on Monday, September 19, Queen Elizabeth II spent four days lying in state at Westminster Hall. Hundreds of thousands of people queued for up to 14 hours to pay their final respects to the late monarch following her death, aged 96, at Balmoral on September 8.
It came after her coffin spent a brief period lying in state at St Giles' Cathedral in Scotland following her death at her Scottish Highlands home. She then made the journey from Edinburgh to London where she was received privately at Buckingham Palace by her family before one last night at 'the office', as she reportedly called the iconic landmark.
