ITV has cancelled Loose Women and Lorraine this Monday in the wake of Queen Elizabeth II's death.

The broadcaster continues to make changes to its schedule to focus on the state events of the coming days, which will culminate in the historic state funeral with extensive news coverage.

Lorraine has been dropped from today's line-up with Good Morning Britain airing for four hours instead, with presenters Susanna Reid and Ben Shephard at the helm.

The daytime show will be followed by an ITV News Special, which will present The King's Tour - Westminster.

Then, at 11am, there will be a special episode of This Morning presented by Phillip Schofield and Holly Willoughby.

The show will feature stories and memories from people who met and encountered the Queen during her reign.

This Morning will run for two hours and will be followed by a second ITV News Special, Queen Elizabeth II:  Lying At Rest, which will continue throughout the afternoon.

Loose Women will not air. The decision comes after the programme faced backlash for running after it was revealed the late monarch was under medical supervision at Balmoral after doctors became 'concerned' for her health.

ITV is reintroducing some of its normal programming over the next few days to provide viewers with the range of shows that they expect to see on the main ITV channel.

They will also be showing a number of documentaries about the Queen and the new King over the coming days. 

Commercial breaks will begin to appear in normal programming only but there will be no advertising during any of the royal coverage or commentary.
