BBC One has issued further updates to its schedule today (Wednesday 14th September), as programming continues to be affected following the sad death of Queen Elizabeth II<\/a> last week.<\/p>\n

Two new programmes have been added \u2013 coverage of the Procession to Lying-in-State from 1pm until 4:30pm and an update on the Events of the Day between 7pm and 8:30pm.<\/p>\n

A description of the Procession coverage provided by the BBC reads: \u201cLive from London, coverage of the ceremonial procession of the Queen\u2019s coffin through central London to Lying-in-State at Westminster Hall.<\/p>\n

\u201cHM the King and members of the royal family will take part in the procession as the cort\u00e8ge makes its way from Buckingham Palace to the Palace of Westminster.<\/p>\n

\u201cLater in the afternoon the doors of Westminster Hall will open for the first members of the public to pay their respects to Queen Elizabeth II.\u201d<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, HM the Queen: Events of the Day will see Huw Edwards reflect on today\u2019s procession.<\/p>\n

Once again, the rest of today\u2019s schedule is largely made up of BBC News programmes, before a return to more regular programming from 8:30pm onwards.<\/p>\n

The evening\u2019s schedule includes EastEnders at 8:30pm \u2013 one hour later than usual \u2013 followed by the final episode of Shetland<\/a> season 7 at 9pm, which will mark star Douglas Henshall\u2019s last appearance on the drama.<\/p>\n

BBC News at Ten will then air as normal, before a showing of a documentary titled Elizabeth: Her Passions & Pastimes from 11:05pm.<\/p>\n

More schedule changes are expected in the lead-up to the Queen\u2019s funeral which will take place on Monday 19th September in Westminster Abbey, where the Queen\u2019s coronation took place in 1953. Her funeral will mark the first in the Abbey since the 18th Century.<\/p>\n

The service will be televised and is expected to begin at 11am.<\/p>\n

Queen Elizabeth II died at 96 at Balmoral Castle on Thursday 8th September after a 70-year reign, making her the longest-ruling monarch in UK history.\u00a0Tributes from across\u00a0<\/a>the world poured in following the sad news, including from the likes of Sir Elton John, Sir Paul McCartney, David Beckham and many more.<\/p>\n
