Following the announcement of Queen Elizabeth II’s death last week, TV channels have disrupted their usual schedule to allow for rolling coverage ahead of the late monarch’s state funeral later this month
ITV have confirmed their schedule for Tuesday [September 13] amid the ongoing period of mourning for Queen Elizabeth II.
Following the death of Britain’s longest reigning monarch last week, popular daytime TV shows like Lorraine and Loose Women were pulled from ITV’s schedule in the wake of Buckingham Palace’s announcement on September 8 confirmed the Queen had passed away at the age of 96.
Although This Morning with Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield aired as usual on Monday morning, Loose Women was shelved once again, as ITV – alongside other broadcasters – continued to focus on the death of the Queen and show special news segments remembering the late monarch.

Lorraine was also dropped from ITV’s line-up, with Good Morning Britain airing for four hours instead, with presenters Susanna Reid and Ben Shephard leading an extended broadcast of the weekday show in the wake of the Queen’s death last week.
It’s now been confirmed that GMB will run from 6am until 9am as usual, presented by Susanna Reid and Ben Shephard, and that Lorraine will return at her usual slot of 9am.
This Morning will be on air at 10am until midday, presented by Phillip and Holly, but Loose Women fans won’t get an episode on Tuesday as there will be an extended ITV News Special instead.
This will cover The King’s Tour – Northern Ireland from noon, the Lunchtime News at 1.30pm and Queen Elizabeth II – Return To The Palace at 4pm.

Soap fans will be pleased to hear that Emmerdale will air at a later time of 8:05pm on Tuesday evening.
An hour later at 9:05pm, ITV will broadcast Charles, The Monarch and the Man.
Presented by Jonathan Dimbleby, the documentary looks back at the achievements of the man who is now the King.
The programme draws on that rich archive of moving images to portray the Prince’s ‘search’ for a role as heir; and to suggest from a very personal perspective, what kind of monarch he will be.
