A number of regularly scheduled TV programmes have been pulled from ITV listings following the death of Queen Elizabeth II.
Her Majesty was the UK's longest-reigning monarch, having led the nation for more than seven decades. Buckingham Palace confirmed her death earlier today.
In a statement, the Palace said: "The Queen died peacefully at Balmoral this afternoon. The King and The Queen Consort will remain at Balmoral this evening and will return to London tomorrow."

The BBC suspended all of its programming once the news was announced - with coverage of the sad news airing on BBC One. Other channels are not required to interrupt regular scheduling, but ITV has already moved to do so, and it is thought others will follow suit.
On Thursday, The Chase, which was due to air at 5pm, was cancelled to make way for a special news programme about Her Majesty. Other shows such as Emmerdale, Police, Camera, Murder, and Tonight, due to air on Thursday evening were also cancelled by the broadcaster.
Continuous news coverage will stream throughout Thursday evening, celebrating Her Majesty The Queen's life, looking back at her reign and her decades of service to the country. There will also be a special ITV News At Ten at 10pm.
At 11pm, ITV will broadcast Queen Elizabeth II, an obituary programme looking at the life of the Queen with comments from those who knew and loved her.
Comments have been turned off for this article but you can leave your tribute to Queen Elizabeth II in this online memorial.
Live broadcasts will return from 6am on Friday, when a special instalment of Good Morning Britain will be hosted by Ben Shephard and Susanna Reid. After this ends, at 9am, viewers will be able to watch an extended ITV News Special.
At 8.30pm, a programme titled Queen Elizabeth II - The Longest Reign, presented by Jonathan Dimbleby, will air. The show will chart her historic reign from her coronation through to the present day.
This will be followed by ITV News at Ten.
