This Morning was brought to an abrupt end on Friday due to the death of Prince Philip.
Hosts Eamonn Holmes and Ruth Langsford were two hours through their final show of a week, which has seen them step in for Phillip Schofield and Holly Willoughby over the Easter break, when they received orders from behind the scenes to bring the show to a sudden close.
The husband and wife duo were just getting into an interview with Coronation Street's Tryone, aka actor Alan Halsall, when news of the Duke of Edinburgh's death reached the studio.
Alan, I'm sorry but I have to interrupt you for some very important news," Eamonn told the soap actor, who clearly had no idea what was going on as he was smiling on screen.
"We now viewers have to end This Morning and go straight to the ITV News room for more."
Viewers were then greeted by newsreader Lucrezia Millarini who made the announce of Prince Philip's passing at the age of 99.
A statement from Buckingham Palace read “It is with deep sorrow that Her Majesty The Queen has announced the death of her beloved husband, His Royal Highness The Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh.
"His Royal Highness passed away peacefully this morning at Windsor Castle.”
Eamonn swiftly tweeted: "HRH Prince Philip has died," before the This Morning Twitter account then retweeted a post from ITV News in tribute to the Duke, which was followed by photo stories of memorable moments from his near century life and relationship with Queen Elizabeth II.
Just before 1.30pm, Prime Minister Boris Johnson gave a statement which ended: "So we mourn today with Her Majesty The Queen.
"We offer our condolences to her and to all her family.
"And we give thanks, as a nation and a Kingdom, for the extraordinary life and work of Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh."
