The BBC has announced that on Saturday morning, April 26 it will broadcast the funeral of Pope Francis from St Peter's Square in Vatican City with coverage presented by journalist Reeta Chakrabarti. The Funeral of Pope Francis will be shown on BBC One Wales from 8.30am, immediately following the Breakfast show, and is expected to last three hours and 59 minutes. As a result, the usual Saturday morning line-up on the channel will be altered, including everyone's favourite day time cooking shows.

However, fans of the shows can still catch these programmes at their usual times on BBC Two. After the coverage of The Funeral of Pope Francis, the BBC Weekend News will be aired slightly earlier than usual at 12.30pm, followed by BBC Weather at 12.40pm, London Marathon 2025: My Reason to Run at 12.45pm and then the Snooker World Championship at 1.15pm. The schedules for ITV, Channel 4, Channel 5 and S4C will remain unchanged for the day. These announcement comes after the sad news of Pope Francis' death on Easter Monday, April 21. Cardinal Kevin Farrell announced his passing in a statement released by the Vatican. The Pope, who was 88, had been suffering from declining health, including complications from pneumonia, a lung infection, and early signs of kidney failure. Despite his health issues, he remained committed to his pastoral duties, even attending Mass from his hospital bed in recent weeks. Pope Francis requested that he be buried at St Mary Major rather than in the crypt of St Peter's Basilica, thus making him the first pope not to be buried in St Peter's for more than a century.
