Amanda Holden joined the thousands of mourners gathering at Buckingham Palace today in the wake of Queen Elizabeth II's death.
The Britain's Got Talent judge, 51, cut a sombre figure as she walked among the crowd who were lining the streets of The Mall to pay tribute to Her Majesty.
Queen Elizabeth passed away on Thursday afternoon at Balmoral Castle, Scotland aged 96 with senior royals rushing to be at her bedside before her sad passing.
While TV hosts across broadcasting channels wore black to present shows today, Amanda opted for an elegant royal blue midi length dress with peplum hem.
Amanda made the visit after presenting her Heart Radio Breakfast show in the capital, which is just a stone's throw away from the royal residence.
A procession of 71 horses, 36 pulling First World War-era 13-pounder field guns has cantered into Hyde Park in central London ahead of the Queen’s death gun salute.
The actress had paid a moving tribute to monarch after the heartbreaking announcement on Thursday.
Sharing a photo of the Queen sitting on the throne, she wrote: "I think we all thought our Queen would live forever…
"Her grace, good humour and indomitable spirit.. embodied everything that made Great Britain , Great . I just can’t imagine our country without her...
"My thoughts are with her family #godsavethequeen."
The nation’s new monarch King Charles III has said a period of 'Royal Mourning' for the Queen will be observed from now until seven days after her funeral.
Charles is due to return to London later on Friday from Balmoral with the Queen as the first full day of his reign begins.
The couple stayed overnight at the former monarch’s Scottish residence after the Queen died “peacefully” aged 96 at her home on Thursday afternoon.
Members of the royal family had rushed to the Queen’s bedside as her health failed. Her children – the Princess Royal, Duke of York and Earl of Wessex – travelled to Balmoral, as did the Duke of Cornwall and Cambridge, Countess of Wessex and Duke of Sussex.
Senior royals will have duties to perform in Scotland in the coming days when the Queen’s coffin begins its journey back to the capital but Harry was spotted leaving Balmoral on Friday morning.
The Sussexes, who were coming to the end of a whistle-stop visit to Europe when the Queen died, are expected to stay in the UK to attend the Queen’s state funeral, likely be held on September 19.
