Loose Women is back today after a four-day break, following the Queen's death.
On Thursday is was announced that medics for Queen Elizabeth II were worried about her health, and later she had sadly passed away so the ITV chat show was cancelled to make room in the schedule for ITV news specials and longer episodes of This Morning. But today, the ladies are back in the studio.
The panelist show will return at the usual time of 12.30pm. The news of the Loose Ladies' return comes as thousands queued throughout last night in London to pay their respects to the monarch as she lies in state.
Last night the queue measured around three miles at one point, before shortening to Blackfriars Bridge - around 1.5miles from the Queen’s current resting place. Among the first to join the queue was Nina Kristofferson, 40, from north London, who joined at 5am on Tuesday.
She said: “It was really emotional, just having a moment to say thank you for everything - 70 years of service. It really is breath-taking. I was tearful. It was an honour just to stand there and take it all in. To give thanks and give a little curtsy to say thank you."
King Charles III is set to have a day off today and step away from public duties to have a a private day of reflection. Charles returned to his Highgrove home in Gloucestershire and is not expected to attend any public events on Thursday. In the detailed planning for the aftermath of the Queen's death - known as "London Bridge" - a day was set aside at this point for the new monarch to have some time away from public duties.
The period will allow the King to pause, but it is understood he will be working in preparation for his new role and will already be receiving his red boxes of state papers. The new monarch led the royal family in a public display of homage to the late Queen by walking behind her coffin with his siblings, sons and other relatives as it was carried into Westminster Hall, where it will lie in state until the state funeral on Monday.
