Morgan, who covered the entire funeral for a TV channel, took to Twitter and shared a throwback photo with the Queen.

He tweeted, “An incredible honour to cover the Queen’s funeral.

“The whole day was the most extraordinary, spectacular & moving event I’ve ever seen, and a wonderfully fitting tribute to our greatest Monarch.”

The outspoken journalist went on to say, “I’ll be forever grateful for all she did for this country. RIP Queen Elizabeth II.”
