Others reminisced on memories they had of old pictures of the Queen, while Mary said they “don’t have a female role model anymore.”

Viewers of the show admitted to being “in tears” after re-watching the moment the Queen died, and seeing the Gogglebox stars well up.

The Queen died peacefully aged 96 on Thursday 8 September – marking an end to her historic reign and sparking an outpouring of grief around the world.

In a sombre statement, Buckingham Palace confirmed Her Majesty Elizabeth II, the longest-serving monarch in British history, had passed away – making her son, Charles, King.

The nation will come to a standstill for the Monarch’s state funeral on Monday, September 19.

The funeral, which will begin at 11am and is being held at Westminster Abbey, comes after millions of mourners paid their respects to her in the last seven days.

In solemn scenes, the royal family will be united – with Prince Harry and Prince William standing side by side.

The Queen’s coffin will be carried during the procession on a 123-year-old gun carriage towed by 98 Royal Navy sailors in a tradition dating back to the funeral of Queen Victoria.

The service will begin at 11am and will be conducted by the Dean of Westminster.

About 2,000 people, including world leaders and foreign royals, will gather inside Westminister Abbey.

The Queen will be laid to rest beside her husband Prince Philip.

It will remain entirely private, as a “deeply personal family occasion”.
