Does seem interesting from today's perspective having Channel 4 dedicating their whole schedule that day to kids shows, when it's a LONG time since they've shown kids programmes of any type. And probably the best part of 20 years since their kids programmes consisted of anything other than 6AM repeats of The Hoobs on a loop for years on end.

All the listings in the papers had Channel 4 not even going over at noon for minutes silence , instead they were suppose to broadcast Prince Cinders at 11.40am and 12.05 Abels island.

That is what they broadcast, I was watching on the day!
I don't think the minutes silence was bang on 12, so they faded out of Prince Cinders part way through, then went back to where they left off.

Been thinking about this and I wonder if the main reason for this happening is they don't have the time, manpower and indeed willpower for their compliance team to go through literally every programme on 4/5 channels to double check that nothing accidentally offensive will be broadcast on such a hyper-sensitive day. Particularly if the ratings for the channels will be so low anyway.
I've heard a lot of commissioners are having to rewatch many hours of their shows again to double check for anything that could possibly be misconstrued as offensive or inappropriate related to the royal family.
Better just to air what's on the main channel that risk anything, and better than a blank screen too.

I've noticed that Channel 4's recent Investigating Diana documentary has been pulled from on demand. Another reason to have a PVR.

You’re right, I must have been confusing Channel 5 or one of ITV’s regional columns for Channel 4

According to Scott Bryan on Twitter, the Strictly launch show will be on Fri 23rd, followed by the first live show the day after. Potential for Ghosts and Am I Being Unreasonable? to return/launch with a Strictly lead-in at 9pm?
Also, Paddington 2 is going to be shown on BBC1 the evening of Monday 19th, after news coverage (and a One Show) of the Queen's funeral concludes.
Oh, and Emmerdale is now half-an-hour tonight. They were set to air the episode originally due to be broadcast 7:30pm-8:30pm on Friday; presumably they have it ready to go in both hour-long form, and two half-hours?, so tomorrow's Emmerdale ends up being the latter half of that and Thursday's 90-minute episode is now the episodes originally due to be shown yesterday, today, and tomorrow (rather than today's, tomorrow's and the first half-an-hour of Thursday's?)? I'm losing track at this point...

It also means someone in Channel 4 must have changed their minds very late in the day, to take the 1 min silence, if it was planned you would surly make sure the last programme would finished just before it, instead of fading out then fading back in for the last 2mins? Hence my original comments however I could have worded it better.
Lets draw a line and get back to the Queen.
I take it Both ITV and BBC 1 will go back to normal programmes on Thursday?
