I think this has been discussed lots of times when presenters are wearing black and so on, but i am just wondering what will actually happen when The Queen does die? Would it be wall to wall coverage, will all channels be forced to cover it, I'm just curious that's all.

There'll be continuous coverage on the news channels of course and I'm sure that the main BBC/ITV/C4/Five will carry the news but no channels will be forced to cover it.
