BBC Breakfast’s Naga Munchetty hit with vile comments from trolls after tribute to Queen Elizabeth

BBC Breakfast viewers were left in tears after a tribute to Queen Elizabeth II on today's show.

The longest-serving monarch in British history and an icon instantly recognisable to billions of people around the world, died aged 96.

BBC Breakfast presenter Naga and Charlie paid tribute to the matriarch on Friday - and many viewers praised the duo for their touching words. 

Taking to Twitter, one fan said: "Thank you BBC, Charlie & Naga for the special tribute for Queen Elizabeth. #BBCBreakfast What a wonderful woman she was & such a huge loss to our country."

Another wrote: "Both Naga and Charlie are doing an excellent job in presenting the news today in this challenging time. I pray the Queen now rest in eternal peace."

A third penned: "Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth was the very epitome of what it means to be human. She will be sorely missed in a world that is increasingly fractious."

However, some fans were not happy by the broadcast. 

One said: "BBC News have got it wrong this morning. They should not allow Naga Munchetty and Charlie Stayt to present this morning. They openly ridiculed the flag and by association the Queen. Disgraceful."

Another commented: "@BBCBreakfast can Naga stop coming out with such stupid statements .. she should be taken off air."

A third added: "Hey @BBCNews Catherine also did not join William at Balmoral… why stress that Megan wasn’t  there with Harry?? Stop. Some respect for ALL her family."

, said: "The death of my beloved Mother, Her Majesty The Queen, is a moment of the greatest sadness for me and all members of my family.

"We mourn profoundly the passing of a cherished Sovereign and a much-loved Mother. I know her loss will be deeply felt throughout the country, the Realms and the Commonwealth, and by countless people around the world.

"During this period of mourning and change, my family and I will be comforted and sustained by our knowledge of the respect and deep affection in which The Queen was so widely held."

Elizabeth II's eldest son, Charles, 73, succeeds as king immediately, according to centuries of Royal protocol.

It marks the beginning of a new chapter for the royal family after the queen's record-breaking 70-year reign.
