David Beckham, a former England footballer, had to wait 13 hours to enter Westminster Hall. However, the presenters of the ITV daytime show This Morning were able to enter Westminster Hall without having to wait 13 hours by using press accreditation.

The reaction began on Friday evening after Beckham and his ITV colleague Susanna Reid refused to use queue-jump and instead chose to wait in line.

Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield were criticized for allegedly skipping the line at Westminster Hall to witness the Queen lying in state.

Fans blasted Schofield, 60, and Willoughby, 41, of lacking ‘basic decency’ and urged them to be ‘ashamed’

Some were so outraged that they demanded the pair’s dismissal from This Morning.

Yesterday, ITV stated that they would be reporting from the site and that a section of their coverage will air on Tuesday’s program, which would air after the Queen’s burial.

The channel also revealed that the couple videotaped mourners waiting in line to pay their respects prior to and after entering the VIP entry, but never joined them.Denial: ITV yesterday insisted that they were there to report from the venue and that a segment of them there would be shown on this Tuesday’s programme - a day after the funeral

The channel reported that they did not file past the casket but instead waited 30 minutes in the press pen, which is much further away.

Television insiders were also perplexed as to why This Morning would broadcast a report from the Queen’s lying-in-state at Westminster Hall on Monday, a day after her funeral and interment, rendering the story obsolete by Tuesday.

ITV answered that the two, who had personal assistants and a large production staff, failed to submit their accreditation requests in a timely manner.

Someone another stated, “Holly and Phil. Your heads should hang in shame Absolutely abhorrent of your ‘queue jumping’ with no justification whatsoever.’

On Twitter, #thismourning was trending, and Schofield’s advertisement phrase “We buy any car.com” was modified to “we jump any queue.com.”

Former England footballer David Beckham was commended for staying in line for over 14 hours.

Beckham was commended for joining the line at 2 a.m. on Friday and waiting over 14 hours before he could pay his respects to the Queen.

Thursday, the 51-year-old host of Good Morning Britain, Reid, waited seven hours with her mother.

A spokesperson for ITV stated, ‘This Morning had press accreditation and, like other media outlets, Phillip and Holly were brought to the press gallery by government employees. They did not pass by the queen’s casket.

They were present alongside a multitude of broadcasters and national press outlets for a segment that will air on Tuesday’s program. Any claims of improper conduct are simply false.
