Stacey Solomon posted a heartfelt message about losing a loved one ahead of the Queen's funeral. As the service was broadcast over all terrestrial channels, with regular programming suspended for coverage of the majestic ceremony, the Loose Women presenter took to Instagram to share her thoughts.
People from around the world paid tribute to the late Queen Elizabeth II during the 10 day period of national mourning. TV star Stacey, 32, also penned a message empathising with those who have lost a loved one.
Mother-of-four Stacey shared the final portrait of the monarch to mark her Platinum Jubilee and said: "Thinking of everyone finding today so sad and difficult. And thinking of all those who have ever lost a beloved person in their lives."

Alongside a white heart emoji, she added: "Saying goodbye forever is always so hard." Loose Women was pulled from the ITV schedule multiple times following the Queen's death but will return as a regular fixture tomorrow afternoon
Stacey had previously left opinions split among a number of fans following a brutal take on the Royal Family. A clip of her speaking about the monarchy on the ITV talk show four years ago resurfaced and went viral following the sad passing of the sovereign at the age of 96 on September 8.
In the clip Stacey admitted to her fellow panellists that she "doesn't get the point" of the royals. She said: “I don’t get why we’re so obsessed with these humans that are exactly the same. It could be us four sitting there I just don’t get it.”
Jane replied that the royals are "becoming like celebrities" but said "the Queen is brilliant." Stacey retorted: "To me, that's all they are, they're celebrities." Linda Robson then added: “I love the Queen. She’s always worked really hard.”
Stacey continued: “But I would work hard if the whole country paid for me to have like 12 houses.” And Jane explained: “They don’t pay for all of the houses. We contribute about £39 million a year. It costs £300 million a year to run the royal family."
She added: "But I’m with you. After the Queen, I’d have them all on bicycles and living in a terraced house. But I love the Queen, I think she’s fantastic."
