ITV This Morning's Holly Willoughby looks tearful as Phillip Schofield cuts a sombre figure while seeing Queen lie in state

manchestereveningnews.co.uk:

Holly Willoughby appeared filled with emotion as she joined Phillip Schofield to see the Queen lie in state. Queen Elizabeth II spent her first full day lying in state on Thursday (September 15) after the public were allowed to start paying their respects to the late monarch from 5pm on Wednesday.

As of Friday morning (September 16), it was reported that the queues to Westminster Hall reached 14 hours overnight. Sky News reported that at 8.15am today the queue had reached 4.9 miles (7.9km) long, with Southwark Park listed as the nearest landmark.

It has since been confirmed by the Government that the public queue to attend the Queen’s lying in state will be paused for at least six hours after reaching capacity.

In the absence of This Morning being on air on Friday, it appears Holly and Phillip united to go and pay their respects to the late monarch who died 'peacefully' last Thursday, September 8, at Balmoral, aged 96.
