ITV’s schedule for Sunday 11 September

Good Morning Britain will be on air at 9.30am on Sunday followed by another chance to see the documentary narrated by Mary Nightingale, Queen Elizabeth II, at 10.25am, looking at the life of the Queen with interviews with relatives and commentators – those who knew her best and studied most closely.

A special news programme will follow, ITV News: The Nations Proclaim the King from 11.30am.

A scheduled ITV News bulletin will be next at 1.30pm with a return to special continuous news coverage at 2pm, running through to 4.30pm.

At 4.30pm, ITV will broadcast The Age of Elizabeth, narrated by Julie Etchingham. This one-hour film takes a look at some of the momentous events across the Queen’s reign. She sat on the throne longer than any other British ruler straddling two centuries and was witness to some of the most startling changes in world history. From space travel and the digital revolution, to seismic global political change and a friendship with Nelson Mandela. The second Elizabethan Age saw tragedy in the shape of natural disaster and terrorism – And triumph, in sport and human endeavour.

A bulletin from ITV National News will follow at 5.30pm, with local News at 6.25pm.

An episode of Emmerdale will follow at 6.35pm (episode from Thursday 8 September).

ITV will then return to scheduled programming, with Gino’s Italy at 7.30pm, and Ridley at 8pm.

ITV News at Ten will follow Ridley.

Notes to Editors

ITV’s main channel will continue to make changes to its schedule to broadcast the important state events of the coming days culminating in the historic state funeral with extensive and dedicated news coverage from our news teams. ITV will also be showing a number of documentaries about the Queen and the new King over the coming days. No advertising will run during any of the Royal coverage.

ITV is reintroducing some of its normal programming over the next few days to provide our viewers with the range of shows that they expect to see on the main ITV channel. Commercial breaks will begin to appear in normal programming from Sunday evening.

Further changes to the schedule will be announced in due course.
