On Friday, Good Morning Britain fans were left in floods of tears as Ben and Susanna presented a special tribute to the late Queen.
An emotional Susanna introduced Friday’s show and told viewers: “A nation is in mourning as Britain’s longest reigning monarch Queen Elizabeth II passes away at the age of 96, after 70 years on the throne.”
A sombre Ben said: “Her son King Charles III, said the loss of his beloved mother is a moment of great sadness for him and his family and that it will be deeply felt around the world.”
Susanna continued: “Her Majesty’s death comes after the most significant periods of her reign in which she rallied the nation during the coronavirus pandemic, lost her beloved Prince Phillip and celebrated her Platinum Jubilee year.”
Ben added: “Such was her unparallel devotion to her duties, she personally welcomed the 15th Prime Minister of her reign just days before she died.”
