TV channels have changed their schedules following the death of Queen Elizabeth II.
Multiple shows have been taken off air or delayed for a period of time.
Rolling news have been shown on most news channels following the announcement of the Queen’s death.

As of Friday, September 9, BBC have confirmed that the schedules will be subject to change during the period of national mourning.
BBC One’s schedule has been wiped and instead, a slate of special programming will air instead.
This means that many of the channel’s most popular shows, including EastEnders, Doctors, Bargain Hunt and Garden Rescue have been moved across to BBC Two.
