I need immediate help with one sentence of mine...

0 Hi to everyone, 02br
02br
00I am a Slovene student of translation and I had to do a translation from Slovene to English for one of my assignments. As my work is going to be assessed by a native speaker (American) professor, I would be really grateful if any native speaker could check a sentence for me. 02br
02br
00I had to translate an article on some events connected to the late Pope's funeral. As I tried to translate one of the sentences, I came up with something like this: 02br
02br
00"A day of mourning practically consists of cancelling all of the cultural, sports and entertaining events, which are planned for that day, and appropriately adjusting radio and television programmes." 02br
02br
00I don't think this sounds English at all, but I really do not know how to better it. Any suggestions would do great. I feel particularly insecure about the "entertaining events" and the "appropriately adjusting" part of the sentence. I am also unsure that "practically" fits there at all. 02br
02br
00Thank you, 02br
02br
