This Morning host Phillip Schofield apologised on Wednesday's show after the programme accidentally interrupted the two minutes' silence for Remembrance Day.
The show partook in the gesture in respect of lives lost at war while footage from the Cenograph played on the screen.
The clock chimed for 11-o-clock, but just seconds later, the announcement from a live stream at City Hall, Belfast began speaking.
A man said: "It is two minutes past 11, thank you for joining us in this act of remembrance and observing the two minutes' silence."
Cutting back to the studio, Phil said: "I think someone's watch was wrong halfway through the two minutes' silence there.
"But these things happen."
One viewer ranted: "This Morning c**ked up two-minute silence. Not only did they have talking during the silence but then cut off the end of the silence to have a chat. Wow."
Another raged: "Well done This Morning for completely f***ing up the two-minute silence!"
A third complained: "You spoke over half the 2 minute silence! I had to turn over to BBC as I thought my phone must be wrong. Not good! #ThisMorning ".
Another viewer joked: "Lest we forget... how to tell the time."
But others stuck up for the man who spoke, with one tweeting: "It wasn't the fault of #ThisMorning or @Schofe and @hollywills that the man from Belfast spoke during the 2 minutes silence.
"The Belfast clock must be slightly out!"
* This Morning airs weekdays at 10am on ITV
