BBC One, ITV TV schedule today and over weekend as nation pays tribute to The Queen

The news of Her Majesty's death was announced in a statement on behalf of the Royal Family on Thursday evening.

Her death brings an end to a 70-year reign, the longest in history, having ascended the throne following the death of her father, King George VI on 6 February 1952.

Following the news, many major broadcasters have suspended their regular programming for special live news coverage and tribute programmes to the late Queen.
