Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield have explained what happened when they were spotted inside Westminster Hall while the Queen was lying in state.

They soon moved on to the four days of the Queen lying in state and the footage showed how the pair went down to chat to people in the queue.
"It was strictly for the purpose of reporting on the event for millions of people in the UK who haven't been able to visit Westminster in person. The rules were that we would be quickly escorted around the edges to a platform at the back. In contrast, those paying respects walked along a carpeted area beside the coffin and were given time to pause."
