on as jessie, you know, the metropolitan museum of art in new york is known for its extensive collection of art from around the world. but it's, the museums laid a show, an employee exhibition that is entering new territory that has been organizing employee exhibits for nearly 100 years. but this is the 1st time one has been open to the public. more than 400 of the met 1700 workers submitted. there are so even the security guards here are artistically talent, especially the security guards at the main. for me, that's really interesting. it's the people who have jobs that don't seem to be one that involved necessarily the artistic. how is it felt an exhibition design manager daniel kershaw to organize works is installation, gives you a slice of what's on the minds of more varied types of artists in new york, then you can possibly get anywhere else. the exhibit is a sign of appreciation for the met employees and a fresh approach to art from an agent institution.

ah, alas, good bye from scotland as the coffin of queen elizabeth leads edinburgh for london . ah, while king child to change the service for the queen in belfast and commits himself to the welfare of the people of northern ireland. ah, hello, i'm emily anglin. this is al jazeera alive from dough house, coming up. maney, his prime minister says, dozens of soldiers have been killed after fighting with as by john and canyon

sways in its laid, william root becomes the nation's faith president. after a narrow election, when i i welcome to the program, we begin in edinburgh. queen elizabeth, the 2nd coffin is now beginning its final journey from scotland to england. ah, the coffin had been lying where giles federal in adam bra thousands of morning have had a chance to fall past and pay their respects the queen's remains and now being driven to edinburgh, a port to be flown to london and then on its way to buckingham palace, let's take a little look at those pictures that i live now in an umbrella, you can see the hearse as it makes its way through the straits of edinburgh. a god

of honor will meet the coffin that god ivana will be led by the royal regiment of scotland, and will receive the coffin with a royal solution. the royal air force will then carry that coffin to the craft and will it will be there throughout the journey to london. also joining the coffin is princess and she will fly with the coffin for that 55 minute flight from edinburgh . a port to greater london. and then from there, the coffin of queen elizabeth the 2nd will be in greater london. all right. but cross live now to alan fisher, who is in an umbrella and has been following those developments. allen, there was a large round of applause as the queen's coffin that made its way through those crowds. what does that say about how scott feel about the light queen? was it is a great deal of respect for queen elizabeth for her long service for her commitment

to scotland for her love of scotland. and certainly we saw that with the thousands who made their way past the coffin while it was lying at rest and sent giles cathedral that you saw them there. even in the early hours of the morning. people lining up for hours at the time just to get the chance to see their final farewells . and they came not just from scotland, but from the north of england, from other parts of europe as well. all wanting to share this moment of grief. and this moment of history, and then the princess royal princess anne, who has been essentially at the queen sites, and she passed away at bar moral on thursday and followed the coffin as it made its journey from the scottish highlands down here to the scottish capital in edinburgh was again there as she joined her mother as it was, the coffin was taken from saint giles cathedral by as you say, members of the royal regiment of scotland. and loaded into the coffin for the journey through the western suburbs of edinburgh to the airport. there, and it's

a sign of just how much things have changed over 70 years. that edinburgh airport is now an international airport. 70 years ago, when the queen came to the throne, it was a small air field. it was known as townhouse. there were very few flights coming in there. it was used by the royal air force and not much more. and no, it is this very large international hub, a sign of the transformation overseen by a woman who spent 70 years on the throne. once it gets to turn house to edinburgh airport, it will be carried by members of the royal regiment of scotland on to the plain. and from there the princess royal will accompany the queen's body back to london, a ruddy f north. alt will be the 1st stop before it is driven to buckingham palace by then, scotland will have said it's final fond farewell to her majesty the queen. and as you've been mentioning allen in your reporting throughout this journey, the coffins been making princess anne has been by the sign of her mother.

that's right. she has a close link to scotland as well. but as a sign of how close she was to her mother, she is known as the princess royal. that was a title given by the queen. it's in the queen's gift to her daughter because of all the work she was doing with charity and all the the organizations that she supported and her own quiet way. she went through a very rough period in the late 19 seventy's, early 19 eighties when she divorced her, then husband, captain mark phillips. but she found comfort later on with the man who is no commodore tim lawrence, and who has been by her side from travelling from baltimore all the way through to edinburgh. and then of course, she took part in the vigil of the princes at saint giles cathedral on monday evening with her 3 brothers, a we knew as well that she gave the queen that very emotional cut c. as she entered

hollywood castle l. hollywood house for the last time on sunday, after accompanying the ah, the the coffin and speaking to people here at the time. people when they found out about it were very touch. the thought it was a very subtle but very sweet gesture by a woman who sometimes has been accused of being but hard and a bit difficult, but certainly some one who loved her mother. and so that returned in the way that her mother treated her over the years. all right, thank. thank you very much, allen. stay with us. we will cross back g as that coffin approaches the airport. in the meantime, i'm going to bring in as sarah richardson, who's a royal historian and a professor of history at the university of work. and she joins us from coventry in england who has been hearing a lot about the queen's ad janny sarah. are through scotland, but i want you to talk us through what happens in london. what are the next stages?

so when the plane lands that are yes nor so that will be a god to former them from p r i asked. and then the body will be taken in the royal to buckingham palace. so it will go through the streets of north london into central london and to buckingham palace. and then the coffin will that will be gone on to meet coffin a bit like we store a hearty region as a similar sort of ceremony. and i believe that king charles, the queen, consort camilla, will have come, fly back from northern island, will be that she make the coffin as well. then the queen will line stay in buckingham palace to give her stuff, tell him to pay their respects. to morrow move to westminster hall. sarah, the last person to line state in the u. k. was the queen mother, and it was about 200000. also people that visited westminster hole to pay their

respects to her. is there any idea of how many people will turn out to pay their respects to the, to the like, queen well, ever expecting maybe trouble out already from them? or the problem is, the amount of time there is between tomorrow and then the morning of the funeral, which is when the line in state will and the number of people that they can actually get physically get to pay their response. so it's going to be a logistical issue for the, for a cheese and for the police to manage that. but i think it could be hundreds of thousands of people. all right, sarah, thank you so much. just stay with us because we are across, back to alan fish. and now who's standing by for us in and, and bra allen, we're seeing pictures of the hearse arriving at the airport. talk us through what's

going to happen here? well, color party is the new one from the royal regiment of scotland will bear the coffin as the lift it from the house. the flag i believe is still draped in what people said was a yellow flag. it is, in fact the royal standard here in scotland has the lion rampant. those members of the color party from the royal regiment of scotland will then carry that coffin on their shoulders into the plain. and clearly following behind will be princess and the princess roy. can hear the orders being given to the color party at the moment, putting everyone in place, making sure everyone is ready for what is a momentous moment. it is the last time that the queen will leave scotland place that she loved the place where she died. allen, just with us, i want to listen in now to what's happening. we can see princess and i standing by

there. let's just have a listen to see what we can he you're

watching live pictures of the coffin of queen elizabeth the 2nd arriving or has arrived at edinburgh. a port after being driven by a host from giles cathedral, a god of honor. as you can see, which is being led by the royal regiment of scotland has received the coffin with the royal salute. let's keep watching me.

you're watching the live pitches of the coffin of queen elizabeth the 2nd entering the plain to make its way to london. ah

ah alan was saying pitches if princess an about to board the plane with him of his coffin as it makes his way or its journey to london. certainly a really powerful moving sane of moving picture. where watching it is that the body was carried by the members of the idea what an immense responsibility it is on those young shoulders. those 8 men who were given the job of carrying the queen's coffin on the final part of its germany and scotland on to the plain at edinburgh airport. if the honor god was foreign by the royal regiment

of scotland, as will said, edlio, the queen was the cardinal in chief, the honorary head of that regiment. we see that picture of princess anne staring at the plain from some distance with a beautiful scottish day behind the day has been really quite spectacular here for mid september. and no, she boards this at a f plane for the 55 minute journey, or which will take her mother across the border into england and on to adie, if not thought at where they will make the journey on to buckingham palace, to be met by king charles and queen consort camilla, it is must have been an emotionally draining few days for princess anne. not only was she there on thursday, as her mother passed away at balmoral, she accompanied the coffin on that journey. don't scotlands east coast on sunday that 6 hour journey were thousands and thousands of people turned out. and then she was here to walk behind the coffin as it made its way from hollywood palace to

saint giles cathedral. and what struck me on monday was how so many people can individually yet collectively set the moment because as the left wholly rude, there was just a silence that was quite stunning at times with thousands of people and barely a watch said billy, a noise could be heard and then as the coffin left st giles this afternoon. again, there was silence. but someone decided to start a round of applause and that was very quickly picked up by the thousands who gathered on the historic royal mile here in edinburgh to pay the attribute to the queen and r, 70 years of service. and now, as the plane begins to close, it's backhand there. we will see the queen leave scotland for the final time released from the embrace of a nation, which for so long felt

a very close affinity the queen elizabeth. the 2nd me

that's bringing sarah richardson, who's a royal historian and a professor of history at university of war. she joins me live now from coventry in england as we watch those pictures of the plain at edinburgh. a port about to take

off with queen elizabeth the 2nd coffin on board. sarah scotland has been the center of national warning for a number of days now. but the departure of this plain signifies the next stage of of, of morning across the united kingdom. yes, it's been very significant to to have this period of morning and scott doesn't try . i think probably means a lot not just to the scottish people but to the royal family given that connections with the country. but now. 5 the coffin, the body of the clean, we've to london, where the capsule familia, government is in ritual sofa. state funeral will happen. what is this fish or sort of picture that we're saying? and the crowds in schools of people that have lived the straits of edinburgh in

scotland. what does that say about about their love for the queen, and whether or not those questions around moving away from them or not will remain or will they die down? now? i think that there will be this period of transition and there's this sort of love and appreciation of what the queen's long life. but i, i do think that that may the debates about the place to scott and then the union and independence will go on. it's a challenge for the new king, i guess, just to see how he's able to capitalize on the work that his mother is. don and continue that. but i think that that that may be quest and so

that will still be all about the future. possible independent yes. do you think that charles okay, charles was leadership movie strong enough to unite the united kingdom. i think it's interesting. i mean he's been in northern ireland today which is another fractured place which is undergoing its own challenges. you know, the store mom is not sitting there, so i think from scott, them don, die them. there are tremendous challenges ahead. i'm sure that it's something that charles is familiar with him that he's thought about. but it will be one of the tests of his writing, looking at the junior, both countries and the commonwealth for example, which are discussing whether it's still appropriate to how the british monetary has had of stake. given the scenes that have, we've witnessed in edinburgh,

scotland more broadly in terms of those crowds lining the straits. what can we expect? as the queen arrives in london in about an hour's time, what, what reception she receiving to england, if this is what she is receiving in scotland, i think search they'll be many, many more people descending on london to see them so much because place and i've been brevity and so i think that there are people trapping that from all over the country and indeed there oh visitors from all of the well to a congregation in london. so i imagine that though that will be many hundreds of thousands of people in the capital over the next few days, wanting to perhaps see the co finance it lies in states, but also to witness the funeral itself and the ritual surrounding that.

and what do you make of princess anne's unable, enviable journey with the coffin? i think it's something that the queen wanted her to do. so i think from, from her point of view, it's the last thing she could do for her mother. and she has a strong sense of to t commit hard work, the role of being a sort of working royal. but i also think that the symbolic, it's a female clean and the most senior female loyal see that the new queen council who is accompanying the queen on this very long journey from balmoral mile down to so it's very fitting. i think the extra, the accession of king charles comes at

a time of renewed mobilization for scottish independence. have you been? have you been surprised by the turn out of the crowns in algebra? to some extent yes, because i think it was an expensive. i mean, it was a stand by time, but if the queen died in balmoral or in scotland that this would happen, but it's not something that was expected that for a lot of the turn out crowds resolve has been spontaneous. we've also seen some really sort of touching gestures of attractors lining the route from moral and the horses which i'm not positive latree planned operation, but on a stretch just by members of the public to you, you know, have really been touched by the needs of the queen stack them sort of organized

tribute in the few hours really? so yes, i have been surprised by the strength of being the numbers to attended. what is it about scotland if for, for the international audience that doesn't necessarily, you know, is familiar with it? what is it about scotland that was so important to the queen? it was almost as on her final day, she wanted to be in scotland rather than in england. what was it about that country that was so special to her? well, her mother was descended from the scottish period in her writing seats o'clock call . so the royal private president to morrow was really important to the queen. it was a place where she could take refuge almost from the task of serving the public can be non public. do so she spent some time on moral and i think it

was that connection with the scottish latin state scottish people that you know much fortified her. so i think it is very fitting that that's where she spent her last days and you know, she, couple of days for she died. she was still carrying out very, very significant political duties by inviting let's trust a new government. so it's a private residence. she was still committed to public service. all right, sarah, thank you for your thought. stay with us. sarah richardson, a royal historian, live for us there as cross back to alan fisher, who's edinburgh, and been following what's unfolding at the a port allen. certainly a very significant and moving tribute to elizabeth queen elizabeth the 2nd

you see the color partly from the regiment scope when standing ready to say it, if a wells and you see the force, the 17 ready to take off. but also beside the dignitaries. very close to them are ordinary members of the public. and that was important to the queen that the people would get the chance to say that very well. not through any sense of sense of good self aggrandizement. but because she understood the connection between the majority of the british people and the monarchy. and how in poll after poll after paul, when asked if people would like to see the united kingdom of beef written in northern ireland, become a republic. they rejected that idea by a fairly sizeable majority and so she wanted to make sure that people would get the chance to see their farewells. and certainly her advisors understood that.
