As usual, Good Morning Britain will air from 6am with Susanna Reid and Ben Shephard at the helm.
GMB usually ends at 9am, with Lorraine taking over – but Lorraine has been cancelled with GMB continuing until 10am.
And instead of This Morning airing at 10am, GMB will be followed by an hour-long ITV News special entitled: The King’s Tour – Westminster.
But ITV Daytime fans needn't fear because This Morning will return at 11am for a short episode headed up by Phillip Schofield and Holly Willoughby.
The show is dubbed to focus on the late monarch, with people recalling memories they have of her during her 70 year reign.
Instead of Loose Women airing at 12:30pm, the chat show will remain off air and instead be replaced by another ITV News special.
Queen Elizabeth II: Lying At Rest will air at 1pm, so viewers can get the latest Royal news while the Queen's coffin is in Scotland.
Game shows are due to make a comeback with Tipping Point: Best Ever Finals airing at 4.30pm, following by The Chase at 5pm.
The news will then air from 6pm until 8pm – with regional for 30 minutes and the rest focused on the Royal family.
Soaps will show on our screens once again – although Emmerdale fans will likely be disappointed to hear that the Yorkshire-based soap will be missing on Monday night.

11pm will see a Royal documentary air which will look at the life of the late Queen.
This comes as the nation mourns the death of Her Majesty, who sadly passed away on Thursday, September 8 aged 96.
Television and media has seen a huge amount of disruption, which has caused multiple shake ups – with even the BBC's Strictly Come Dancing thrown into chaos.
