It will be because both country & Queen have now started eight days of national mourning and the BBC exists by Royal Assent. During a period of national mourning the Monarch doesn't carry out any official business and Parliament doesn't send any bills for her to sign.
BBC4 programmes have been suspended completely as a mark of respect.
