EastEnders, Coronation Street and Emmerdale fans all have the same complaint after another massive schedule shake-up

SOAP fans all had the same complaint after another massive schedule shake-up on Monday night.

EastEnders, Emmerdale and Coronation Street were pulled off the air after broadcasters made the decision to cancel their shows once again to bid a final farewell to the Queen.

But many unhappy viewers took to social media to hit out at the decision.

One wrote: "@ITV @BBC why have you cancelled tonight's programs AGAIN? enough, there are people out here are sick of coverage of funeral. was advertised as being normal programs tonight."

Another said: "No #EastEnders tonight :("

And a third added: "Just seen #EastEnders has been replaced by Paddington 2 tonight, I am not happy."

However other viewers were left in tears over the tribute to the late monarch.

The lovable bear become synonymous with Her Majesty following a sweet sketch which was filmed for the Platinum Jubilee.

That sketch showed the Queen offering her customary good-humoured hospitality to the clumsy bear, and pulling a marmalade sandwich out of her iconic handbag.

It was a reassuring appearance from the smiling monarch - despite not being able to attend the live event itself because of her health.

Since the Queen's death, a number of Paddington tributes have been left at Buckingham Palace in honour of Her Majesty.

The iconic soaps were also pulled following the death of Her Majesty on Thursday 8 September.

EastEnders, Emmerdale and Coronation Street didn't air on Friday 9 September.
