CityNews has announced today that renowned Canadian journalist Lisa LaFlamme will be leading the network’s coverage of Queen Elizabeth II‘s funeral and joining as a special correspondent. 

LaFlamme will be on the ground in London this week providing daily reporting for all newscasts on television and radio, as well as appearances on Breakfast Television

“The Queen is the only monarch most of us have ever known. We grew up with Her Majesty and mourn the passing of this remarkable and inspiring woman,” said LaFlamme. “As this second Elizabethan era comes to an end, I can only say how truly honoured I am to help tell the story of her life and the legacy she leaves.”

The announcement marks LaFlamme’s return to news coverage after her controversial dismissal from CTV, in what is likely to be a pinnacle moment in her storied career. 

“News coverage of such a pivotal moment in history is integral to achieving our mission of keeping Canadians connected and informed, and Lisa LaFlamme’s incredible talent and wealth of experience are befitting of an event of this magnitude,” said Colette Watson, president of Rogers Sports and Media. 

Naturally, the world is reacting to the grand announcement.
