"My planned program for this week’s “From the Archives” was to coincide with the festive Last Night of the BBC Proms scheduled for this weekend. With the passing of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II and the national period of mourning in effect, the BBC has cancelled the Last Night of the Proms for this year.
In light of Her Majesty’s passing and the cancellation, I’ve prepared a new special show in tribute to Queen Elizabeth’s long life and reign. I hope you’ll join me this Saturday, September 10 at a.m. and Sunday September 11th at 6 p.m. to honor the late Queen."
