BBC Breakfast was halted for "terrible" news after the death of a "very brave lady" on Monday (November 11).

During today's edition of the hit morning programme, hosts Jon Kay and Sarah Campbell updated viewers with the latest news across the UK and around the world.

They were joined in the studio by Emma Vardy, who shared business updates, while Carol Kirkwood delivered regular weather forecasts throughout the show.

Later in the programme, Jon and Sarah paid tribute to Dorothy Lawrence, a journalist who disguised herself as a male soldier to get to the frontline during World War I.

"More than a century later, she's finally received a headstone at her grave in North London," Jon revealed, before an emotional clip was played.
