Viewers have their say after This Morning insists Holly and Phil 'did not jump queue' to see Queen lying in state

Manchester Evening News readers have hit out at This Morning presenters Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield after they were recorded allegedly 'jumping the queue' to see the Queen lying in state.

The hosting duo were seen filing past Queen Elizabeth II's coffin on Friday (September 16). At the same time that the show would usually air on Friday, around 10am, Holly and Phil were spotted filing past the Queen's coffin in Westminster Hall.

This came as some people were waiting as long as 24-hours to pay their respects to the late monarch. The pair immediately came under fire as it looked as if they had jumped the queue despite other high profile celebrities, such as David Beckham, waiting overnight for their turn in the hall along with everybody else.

This Morning has insisted that Phillip and Holly did not "jump the queue" for the Queen’s lying in state and were there to report on the event as media, but many readers are not convinced.
