During the national period of mourning, broadcasters were wearing all black as a sign of respect following the queen's death on September 8, and after she was laid to rest at Windsor Castle on Monday (19.09.22) the 'Good Morning Britain' team have continued to wear dark colours.

Explaining the decision on Tuesday's episode of the ITV breakfast show, Susanna said: "It feels like a transitionary moment because the period of national mourning has come to an end, so we have transitioned into more sombre outfits, dark blue."

The late monarch was buried alongside her late husband Prince Philip at the King George VI Memorial Chapel following her state funeral at Westminster Abbey.

Susanna and her co-star Ben Shephard fronted a special edition of 'GMB' outside Westminster Abbey on the morning of the funeral, and she described her role as "an honour".

She added: "It was like being an eye-witness to history, wasn’t it?

"A real privileged position and it was an honour to be there with you [the viewers] yesterday morning and now the Queen has been laid to rest."

Ben heaped praise on the Queen's Company, 1st Battalion Grenadier Guards for the "spellbinding" work they did carrying Her Majesty's coffin.

He said: "Those eight young men who shouldered the queen’s coffin all day. At no point did these young men make a mistake.

"It was just the most remarkable performance from them. To do it with the weight of the world on their shoulders, it was just spellbinding."

Meanwhile, Susanna had queued up for seven hours to see the queen's coffin lying in state ahead of the funeral.

On Monday (19.09.22), she reflected: "It is an enormous privilege to have been able to do that, to spend time paying our last respects, but also those hours in the queue as well, coming to an end now."
