On the day of HM The Queen’s funeral, ITV will be showing the same programmes (including uninterrupted coverage of the funeral) on all it’s channels, though I doubt CITV will be included:

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.
