BBC One has suspended regular programming after the announcement about the change to the Queen’s health.
The broadcaster is airing a BBC News Special, which will be followed by the planned BBC News at Six.
Presenter Huw Edwards is wearing a dark suit, white shirt and black tie, in accordace with the BBC’s dress code for when a member of the royal family dies.
Bargain Hunt was interrupted at 12.39 to broadcast the statement from Buckingham Palace alerting the public to royal doctors’ concern for the Queen’s health.
Since then, the channel has been airing rolling news coverage on the Queen’s health.

It would appear HM has had some health problem (beyond old age & infirmity) for the last year though no details have been released.
I'm hardly a monarchist, yet understand fully the affection in which a vast number of her subjects and people worldwide hold her, as well as the continuity and stability she represents.
I have the greatest respect and appreciation for the life she has lead over decades, one of unwavering service, as head of state, commonwealth and family; a good person in every way.
