The Great British Bake Off will return to our screens on Tuesday, Channel 4 bosses have confirmed after the Queen died on Thursday.
This will be the first episode of the new series which will see 12 amateur bakers put their skills to the test in the hopes of winning the coveted title of Star Baker each week and eventually walking away with the Bake Off trophy.
Judges Paul Hollywood and Dame Prue Leith will return to the tent alongside presenters Matt Lucas and Noel Fielding.
The decision comes as many British TV channels including BBC One and ITV continue to make changes to their regular programming schedules during a period of mourning for the Queen.

On Friday, Channel 4 also launched the new series of Gogglebox as planned, with the broadcaster saying it would bring a "valuable sense of continuity" for many of their viewers.
A spokesman said: "Channel 4 exists to offer viewers an alternative and that is particularly important at times like this.
"Gogglebox is a much loved national institution and it will air as planned tonight bringing a valuable sense of continuity for many of our viewers."
The Last Leg was due to follow on from Gogglebox, but the show’s presenter Adam Hills announced they had cancelled the episode as it "didn’t feel right".

Following the death of the Queen at the age of 96, many programmes were axed as broadcasters provided rolling coverage of her passing.
BBC One has been airing national and regional news programmes between shows including Picturing Elizabeth: Her Life In Images, Elizabeth: The Unseen Queen, and When The Queen Spoke To The Nation.
A special edition of The One Show: Our Queen Remembered, is also due to air at 6.45pm this evening.
Similar coverage is expected on Sunday, with special editions of shows including Songs Of Praise, Countryfile, and Antiques Roadshow.

It is not just terrestrial TV that is impacted by the Queen's passing. The maker of Netflix's The Crown has announced that filming of season six will be paused out of respect to the Monarch.
The drama chronicles the rein of Queen Elizabeth II, focussing on national events but also personal conflicts within the Royal Family, such as Prince Charles and Princess Diana's doomed relationship.
Peter Morgan shared in an email with Deadline : "The Crown is a love letter to her and I’ve nothing to add for now, just silence and respect.
"I expect we will stop filming out of respect too."
