BBC Breakfast fans are demanding the beloved morning programme to return to normal as coverage of The Queen's death took priority over other important news stories.

With a show shakeup continuing after the passing of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, the beloved BBC programme continued coverage of the queue for the late monarch who is lying-in-state.

Nina Warhurst was in the studio, while Charlie Stayt provided live reports from Westminster.

During her round up of news stories, Nina announced that two male police officers were attacked and stabbed near Leicester Square – but viewers weren't happy with the "lack of coverage".

Taking to Twitter one person penned: "Two policemen stabbed in London and a mass grave found in Ukraine… but BBC Breakfast leads on the royals meeting and greeting the serfs. Can we please have the actual news at the top of the hour. So sick of this propaganda."

Another person fumed over the lack of news as the royal coverage continues: "BBC Breakfast BBC News et al Don't really seem to get the meaning of 'latest news'."

Adding: "We know the Queen is dead, we know there are people desperate to look at her dead body (so many there is now a 'queue tracker') and we know her actual funeral is on Monday. #EnoughIsEnough."

"Enough of people in queues ffs. Enough," a third person echoed.

While a fourth asked: "Is it still news that people are queuing? Do we still need to see people being asked why they're there?"

This comes as the late monarch can be viewed lying-in-state in Westminster Hall, with thousands of member of the public queuing 24 hours a day to pay their respects.

Queen Elizabeth II passed away on Thursday, September 8, with the nation now in mourning.

Her funeral will take place on Monday, September 19 at Westminster Abbey.
