Queen Elizabeth II's death means the nation has entered a period of mourning and there will be significant changes in TV schedules in the coming days.
Following the news that Her Majesty had been placed "under medical supervision", the BBC and other major broadcasters suspended their regular programming in favour of important news specials.
Daily shows including Eastenders, The One Show and more were all taken off the air for a period of time.
There is also an understanding that new shows expected to start in the coming weeks will be postponed, according to TV Zone.
