ignorance in some of our schools to day and i think that's very sad if you know your history, then you will be understanding of why your constitutional monitor 8 keeps us safe and moving forward. and as i've said, i have confidence in king charles and the prince of wales in taking that forward. we need more education for the young at, but i would say divers, staff in studio, which is in north west wales, beautiful part of the country. these live pictures sent from windsor castle to the west of london. ah ah i whether it be no short shelby to vacate deal

its way up the long walk to windsor castle or then there will be a procession. the coffin will be taken out of the hearse and on foot it will be carried into the chapel itself toward his chapel, where we are going to have. as you said earlier, i think the, the 2nd of the 3 services to take place on this funeral day, a public service in the chapel here at windsor. mary dignitaries sir, are taking her to have already taken their seats for that they are ready and waiting. the coffin will be carried in with a procession that is led by king charles for that service. after the service has taken place, the cameras essentially will be to it will be turned off. we won't see what happens after that, because once that the public parts of this state funeral proceedings done,

then there is a private snare ceremony harmony ceremony. it is the final selling me. it is where we will be lowered down into the royal vault to take her place alongside other monex are of the british isles, who are buried here at windsor. charles the 1st or george, the 5th or the queen's father, george also her mother. and of course, our prince fed up her husband, who, who died last year, there are hundreds or tens of thousands, at least a 100000 in excess people who, who have made their way. here to windsor. you can perhaps see some of them cut past behind me now think you can. the royal walk is full. there is no more capacity there. people are now being asked to come down to home park outside windsor, carsa laura standing for an overflow areas where they can watch the service or on a big screen a long, long walk. they have segmented or the,

the crowd into pocket. so of $10000.00 people each on, on both sides of the long walk. the trying to avoid some crowds trouble crowd issues that they had for our prince phillips funeral last year where the crowd tried to bunch up at the castle, ends of the long walk. and they don't want that to happen again. the want to keep things a slightly more tightly managed, but yeah, you can see people coming now to, to, to, to what things are on the, on big screens down here on the long walk. there are no screens, it will essentially be quite else. they'll see the coughing going past, but they won't be able to see inside at the chapel. they won't be able to see what's going on for that. they're gonna have to be down here. okay, rory themselves as they're, as we're a challenge, they're reporting live at from windsor. ah, the queens hearst, the state hers now arriving to albert road,

just ahead of the the long walk there in windsor, while we wait for proceedings to get underway. let so just take a moment to look back at the spectacular events earlier today from the procession in london to the state funeral in westminster abbey. ah, it's me begin by saying, thank you for all the time kind people who had sent me messages of goodwill. ah, this is the queen who really spanned the whole television. h a coronation. was the very 1st big global television event. it was, it was almost as if a royal shape was reinvented when the queen was crown.

ah, oh dad. where is nice thing. oh, grave. where is thy victory? oh, this is a happy day for me. but it is also one that brings here it is thought. thoughts of life looming ahead with the will it challenges and with all its opportunities aa queen who spend history. this really is the end. a highlight majesty famously declared on the 21st birthday broadcast that her whole life

would be dedicated to serving the nation. and commonwealth rarely had such a promise been so well kept. ah ah, i do care before you all my life, whether it be long or shall be diverted to your service and to the service arrive, great imperial family to which we all belong. mm. live pictures then of the sate hearse in windsor. the procession there has begun, said hurst flanked by the pool bearers at an escort party consisting of 2 offices and $24.00 ranken fight of the 1st battalion. grenadier guards,

the queen's company colour, the royal standard of the regiment to the brenadere gods, and a sovereign standard of the household cavalry positions, respectively, immediately in front of and to the rear of the huss. thing . when we change what's happening in windsor, let's bring it al jazeera is andrew synonyms. his lives for us outside, westminster, abbey. where of course that that funeral, that state funeral took place several hours ago. andrew, what an occasion. it was an extraordinary time, an extraordinary day for an extraordinary woman. of course you can hear now is the bells tolling off to the states service here,

a colossal event with so many world leaders here? king charles the 3rd, looking so solemn. and now that final journey for the late queen, beginning to end in windsor a place she was so fond all she was there so many weekends with the family. as a young woman, she took shelter that during the 2nd world war, along with other children in the world family. and now looking back on it, that the queen was so fond of the api in westminster abbey. 2 the 1st time a sovereign. 1 has had a funeral service here for 260 years. she loved the place because it was where she was married in 1940, as it was from where the coronation took place. she became queen of the united kingdom, and that was a rel last it 70 years, the longest possible spell of rain that any more cause had in the history

of britain. king charles has been involved in a number of personal touches. his mother was every other month going through the service, details of having influence of it. but he's had several small things that he's done, such as arranged the flowers for all out for the coffin, whole series of a foliage part, partly from the book k. his mother used and her wedding this has been a spectacular event of course. now. busy the end of the 2nd that is a b arrow is going to come with the final burial this evening privately, all his mother i'm 0, sandra simmons at westminster abbey in central london. meanwhile to the west of london, the procession towards windsor castlewood saint george's chapel is under way.

thank ah ah,

he could hear it gums there being fired by the king's troop world horse artillery from a positional the east norm at windsor council. as the coffin moves and procession from shortfall, farm gate road from albany road at the moment a before attached to long walk eventually ending up with the west steps and churches. chuck will and you can hear both submersible bell curfew towel bell tolling as while it's brigand. i want to get at owen's history. when she was in london. i've said you could explain what, what's going on for us here at the moment. a distinct lack of people at this point on the did the procession march here, that there are no onlookers that knows. that's right. this 2nd part of the funerary ah service. the funerary ritual is a more intimate affair. and what we are witnessing essentially is of the final procession

. the last piece of royal pageantry, ah, with this regiment, escorting the that the former monarch hung to windsor where she will be buried. ah, we are about to see the, the queen get a final sand off out in view of in full view of crowds one last time before there is a, there is a service in saint george's chapel, which as we're going to see, is much more intimate in terms of its tone in terms of its setting in westminster abbey. and this i think, reflects really this transition from the monarch as a national figure to the monarch as a, the private individual. as, as a, as a, as a human figure. this idea that she is going to be buried in, in a home somewhere that she cherished deeply and that will be a private family send up later on this evening,

i think speaks to this greater emphasis on intimacy and the personal aspects of this, of this royal funeral, is that why? there were 2 distinct parts to today? that was the, the state funeral and the glare of global publicity at, at westminster abbey. and then you have this, this, this, this quieter affair here in windsor. well, that's right. we've never seen this before and i think certainly the newspaper columns tomorrow we'll be talking about how the royal funeral is unfolded today. is distinct for the way that we had if you like, the national moment of emotional communion with, with television audiences, both in britain. i'm further afield around the world invited in to westminster abbey to pay tribute to the long life of lives, but the 2nd and then we have this section of the funerary ritual. something we've

seen before in 105-219-3699 content where the monarch, the body is interred in the room, mostly, and as part of a more intimate, more private service. so i think this is going to be the discussion tomorrow that there were these 2 distinct aspects to the today's proceedings. ok, and i'll be back with you in just a moment the, the head of the procession. now turning on to the long walk. ah ah,

it's bringing once again simon mail retired british army officer for my senior defense advisor of tenant general simon mail to get his full title. so i'm looking at the, the uniforms of the various or military people taking part in this part of the so say am i right to think of their different to, to the, the uniforms. we saw it in central london earlier who's, who's taking part in this bit of the ceremony. some will be age and the, the grand j gods continue. have the central role. you'll have seen the life gods and the blues royals, who, of course, some of them will have taken part in central london. some will be here for her majesty. i think i saw the hackles of the welsh god's done the the, the long mile, another another a gallant battalion in the high cell division. and of course the interesting,

there's 8 guns in the king's troop. 2 were at church slopes at the wellington gate . 3 were far in the salute in london and 3 are all fine. now, the salute in windsor, so was a lot of overlap and different people from the same battalions. regiments all are all there. i did seal. so the members of the role military police and the intelligence call, who her majesty was colonel of also where you are. i'm one thing i would say i didn't just pick up what's a di said earlier, and i couldn't agree more with him. is that the teaching of history, there was in the breast plate, button, color, dog, color, bear, skin, bells, aguilar, et cetera. that doesn't have a story behind it. and a by honorable one often from our long military history. and our failure to teach history is, is, is proven to be a device development in british society, i think,

globally, not a unified element that it should be and say the background to all this so called flummery is full of fantastic stories. and as i say, every, every feather, every cat badge has that, has a story behind it. i'm just going to pause that for, for a moment. simon, won't we just listened in to say to this a procession? is it now? as the queen said coffin the state herse, makes his way along, along with a with

with ah ah

ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah, ah

ah, it's going to take about 20 minutes to walk the length, solve the long walk. it's actually named at which point, when it gets to the con drunk quadrangle, a little side of windsor constant as it passes into engine course. the king and other members of the family will walk in the procession at windsor castle is out. serious. worry challenz rory, once again, the streets of london lived by thousands and thousands of people the same in windsor. it would seem yeah, and i'm watching the pictures of them. i haven't on a screen just below the camera. i'd say it's remarkable stop, isn't it? i mean, it's a real se for the eyes, a face to the is where watching the, the cost of while driving now, walking, pay off the long war,

blank by the regiments, regimental soldiers, and full dress uniform. taking the queen's coffin up the long walk to saint george's chapel, where those last 2 services of the state will take place. one that is going to be broad costs. we're going to all be able to see it. the 2nd and final, one of this winds a part of the day is going to be private. that is where the queen is actually going to be buried. lowered down into the royal volt, take place beside kings and queens of the past and members of her family next to her father next to her mother next to philip her husband as well that the crowds aligning the long walk over capacity that it is at

least 100000 people who have been coming all day to take that place is that wait and see what's going to happen? what's to be able to watch the coffin go past them? there are so many people that they have had to push people down past me to a crowd overflow area. now we can speak to one person who's come to take part in the ceremony to have a look at things. see what's going on. you didn't get to go to the local, did you? but you're here. this is, this is joe heath. joe. tell us about your diable for you down here. hello? yes. so i live in central london. got up, watched everything on the tv because unfortunately an invite to the actual show funeral. so any date if the president. exactly. yeah. so that was very peaceful. and then we wanted to see if we could see things that were going on strike off the

all the right to plot. so on, on a when we decided to go to windsor. and i think a bit later in the day. so my uncle lives in windsor, he's, he's been up by queuing, find a place in 7 in the morning. he's in that he's on the, he's in the, in the long walk that we arrived half an hour ago. yeah. so, so when you see the pictures that we've been looking at all day and over the last week or so, what does it might you feel about about the role family, about britain, about britain's place in the world? you can really see the importance how much of an impact the monica has on system. so seeing all the, what would have been across the board on board some things. it's just all in morning photos of the queen and you just say, i agree with you, roy, that's the the you believe in the institution of monarchy. the question to ask a question. yes, they do

a lot for the country. i can see that my views on public funding going to them. it's probably slightly different, but i know a lot of people view them favorably and you can really see how many people because you are getting mad. and people often talk about support for the monarchy being split along generational lines. but you, you believe in the morning, what do you think about king charles and, and the kind of king that he might be. so charles, i think the like queen elizabeth 2nd, incredibly useful. i didn't ever seem to step a place. can charles will say that's been a few things in the media recently of his if you on pens that don't work. yes, we'll see. thank you very much. we'll let you go and watch the proceedings. you're

going to go into the big screen all you and see, see what's happening that have a nice i was he that come down to watch things happen at windsor, and yes, we are going to have to ceremony. now we are watching the queen making her way in her coffin up the long walk to georgia chapel. that will be a ceremony that followed by a private burial service where she is going to be funny. like every, the king and other members of the family will join the procession when it gets to the end of a long walk in central windsor right next to the windsor. i wouldn't say shot somebody, it's been a long day winds that one of the queens favorite places and she loved being in winds for the benefit of anyone who's never been to win. i mean, it's not hard to see why the queen loved it. it is a beautiful place that's

right, runs by the river thames. it's just a nice place. and tourists come here and i think they are surprised to find this castle right in the center of town. and it was built as what he was telling you earlier by the norman saint george's chapel, where the queen will be in town. well, that was built by the 16th century. by let me get this right. it was built by edward the 1st i did the burial place of 10 monarchs including the queen's own father, henry, the betty famous historical figure. most people would know. he also is buried here in saint george's chapel, but it is a beautiful part of the world. and you remember a number of years ago that part of windsor castle, but don't. there was a huge fire here and the government in a lot of a controversial move,

decided immediately that they would help pay for the rebuilding of it. people were surprised because this is really a public building. this is the queen's on castle. but the rebuilding went ahead, but that was the year that the queen in our annual christmas speech described the year that had passed on as her or her. busy herbal year, but this was where she felt most at home when she wasn't moral in scotland. she liked this place a great deal as say, buckingham palace was the official residence of the monarch in london. but more often than not, she would make her way here to windsor for weekends or indeed during the week and during, at the service that will take place in a very short space of time. from now it will be led by the dean of windsor. but it's interesting that the people that will help contribute include also the rector of catholic church, which is up near balmoral in scotland. and also a clergyman from the church at sandringham where the queen would tend to spend

a christmas that's a home in the east of england in a place near norwich. so a connections with all the royal home has been brought together in this church service that will start in a little while ellen stay stay with me. i'll be back to you in just a moment as this procession that comes towards the end of the long walk. let's just, just listening for a moment to did to the atmosphere ah. or out of this resist thousands of people there lining up the long walk and that people so determined to pay that their last resource would have people been telling

you their windsor about why why they felt they needed to be there today to know that long what really is a beautiful part of this part of the country. if you come through here on sundays as i have done in the past, and you look up the long walk for windsor castle, you will see people on horseback. you'll see cyclists, you will see runners, or couples and families just walking towards the castle is something that people all round here enjoy. and a lot of people who here have traveled a long way to get here. i was speaking to someone that travel from birmingham about to drive because they felt they had to do something. they didn't think they would get near buckingham palace because they had that this was the biggest security operation. but they felt there was a chance that they could perhaps see something well, if it came to windsor, what is interesting is that a lot of people have lined up on this side of the wall. but the gate which we can't quite show you, because we can't quite move,

the camera run was closed. and normally that would give you a view interesting georgia chop. when people gather here, hoping that they might be able to catch a glimpse of the coffin. i also spoke to someone who came from italy that extended the holiday. the intention was that they should have left on saturday be back to work on monday, but they decided they would stay an extra few days, simply because they felt that this was a stuart at the moment that they were here in britain. at a time. the people will remember for a very long time, and so they wanted to be part of that in some ways. so they are here somewhere among the crowd at windsor, her waiting, hoping to catch a glimpse of the queen's coffin. if you're this site, it's unlikely because really, for professionals coming up, the long walk is the grander way of doing it. and certainly you can be accompanied by a lot more of the pomp and circumstance that we are always told that britain is so very good. and so they will make their way up the long walk. it is 5 kilometers

long, just from the edge of windsor turn itself up into the castle and to the queen. the final resting place was in george's chopper. there is alan fish that live in westminster. another of our correspondence as big as a new castle in the northeast of england in many towns and cities across the country. screens have been set up for people to watch, watch proceedings in london and in windsor. today, newcastle is no different effect. you can see is screen if we can show you briefly asset. that is a screen behind them. right now. i said, what's, what are people that are making of, of what's going on? hundreds of kilometers, wave down in windsor right now. for the square, people are standing ground watching the screen. the square was full. earlier on we had war veterans. we had loads of people here observing the 2 minute silence. i saw some people crying and many people here are remembering the queen. remember fondly

when she visited here and opened the light center back in the year 2000 the center that works on genetics. and i v f treatment. the local football team, newcastle united, had a 2 minute silence. they paid their respects, but also put up pictures of when the queen presented newcastle with the fake up trophy back in 1955. now crossed ne thing than many towns and cities that 4 of screens and people are doing joining in the national mood of morning. they're standing around and they're remembering the queen and that that meant so much to them. but we traveled across the northeast, england. i really speak to people, it's very evident that people are struggling. the country is going through a cost of living. crisis is averted, increased energy bills and inflation. and many people sectors than they love the queen. they believe their respective. they believe she should be more. but question the cost of the funeral that could go into millions. we spoke to food banks in missouri and stockton until and they said they've seen increasing people coming to

them a dependent on food bank. and ne, england has the highest child poverty rates in the countries over taken. a london 30 percent us 11 children in the classroom of 13. and we also went to manchester. we spoke to ethnic minorities and many young people from ethnic minorities don't seem detached from the money that crushing the purpose of what's going on. and if they seem to talk about empire, the legacy of colonialism roster, molded generation from ethnic minorities feel grateful for what the queen has done under her stability that also to sir. and i feel grateful without the changes that they've been given in this country. but right now, people all got things around the screen to watch the proceedings. and remember the queen i'll just there, as i said, beg, reporting, live from new castle, which is in the northeast of england. meanwhile, several 100 kilometers south. ah, the procession carrying the queen's coffee in the coffin and the state house is continuing. it's so slow journey along what's known as the long walk

towards windsor castle. let's just listening for a moment. oh

that's the view inside saint george's chapel, where a service will get under way and a little over 25 minutes from now we're just under 25 minutes actually. and let's bring it out 0 worry challenz once again. he's in windsor right now. not too far from windsor castle. ah, with some people who have travelled a long way, rory to be there today. i haven't travel that far, but they have taken a long time to get it a little bit longer than it is taking the queen's company at the moment to go up the long walk. we what we've been watching this now. these amazing, beautiful pitches, no other country, i think really can to concentrate in the same way that the purchase can, but this is going on for at least 20 minutes. now i think it's going to be another 5 minutes before it gets to the castle itself. and that's federally and you can begin with the dignitaries, lives trust in saint george's chapel at the moment,

along with many other people waiting for the queen's coffin to arrive. yes, i can introduce now let me hear nocka. now you came from not far away, but you will how far? if he come come to my mission. yeah. my god, it was so he probably 115 minutes. so an hour 15 minutes. if you come a bit place to the mike friend that we can have a wonderful, thank you very much. so why did you choose to come? what, what, what does this moment mean to you won't be there as close to the asian. so wanted to be so what do you think of the queen when you think his duty that service that you say she gave to the nation? what do you mean? what is it, what is it that, that, that characterizes this wonderful as addition is she came out of and then

with all of miles and she never failed to do so. but maybe you can take it as a role more than for us. they're all going in. do you think that is what i see? he had become a queen of age of 25 and the being more not for 70 years is not something easy. and i've been seeing her documentaries, and i know that she doesn't fail to open her box and do our work diligently actually to pick 2 of what i have probably. so i think it's a, it's a great our inspiration for oliver's sense and are busied show are working still and being healthy is something annoyed very in spanish. and i, that is why we came down to field atmosphere. be a part of the history here, basically. and i, i would probably deli, at this point as my sister got a picture with that, the queen, a really yes my at the queen head are gone to indiana. and my dear sister was in a school where the queen had visited the school. so my sister went on telling been to go and meet her green. so i was like okay,

i been guidelines for her sake. i should come down here and i year so the barrier either speak to her note be arrived here, just too late to get in to the royal walk and see the coffin going pass was disappointing to of course yes sir, we haven't disappointed because we thought probably he could somehow get in, but we didn't realize that the crowd mapquest many birds as late as have come to bear that aspect. and to see the last bit dorothy saw her at least a 100000 people. exactly. yeah. so how does so announce huge. yeah, i mean, this is not a surprise that it has reached its full capacity. yeah. maybe like weeks we should have started a bit of clothes. we asked them commitments at home, so we couldn't theoretically. right. but i don't want to mention here that i am one of my friend and her husband have come down in the morning at 10 o'clock dead in. so it is so as i did tell her that on behalf of oliver's. yeah, please do. blair b and b that respect sir, i believe you get the satisfaction that we've at and as importantly at the c. 3 i don't or we can hear the sounds of music's now. you can watch it on the big screen

. yeah. explain more. thank you very much, lecture me and knocker. i'll let you go in. okay. my gosh. watch what happens. so they go a voice from the crowd here, windsor people, many people come down to see the queen's last journey. rory chancellor lives in windsor as the procession approaches sir cambridge gate. and let's bring in patrick vernon is a cultural historian and social commentator. a picture. your thoughts on what has been a momentous day the hours at saint saint london and by westminster closed in summer interviews for other international tv channels. and there was some people around the abbey or, and people marching or walk in a to a green park watched procession. or is it's amazing. i mean, the only people with her, but it kind of reflects the quote unquote armed people think about the queen,

which is really, really powerful, is quite douglas by persons of the age of the city and people come from the of the country and internationally. i lead so it's powerful legacy which the queen of behind that was at the same time it's in the era or in the chapter or the new church turned me on unfold both king charles and on the rock creek issues for the king to consider as we move forward, and what do you make of the when do you think that that is the fact that as you said, there were so many people room from all walks of life, all, all backgrounds, all parts of the world who, who wanted, who wanted to be there to day, not all of them are marcus or supporters of the world family even but, but wanting to play. there is notes here because i think in many ways she's been a constant lust. what since should have been rain assessment with 2, i mean a different generations stops and or people got sick with age, co,

rude. she would have remembered the combination of her and those people who subsequently learned about the queen, but she's also a constant. there are key constants, a better society. the innate us is one, the queen, a, b, b, c, but al serra ah, docile key. the key institutions are, mcqueen is the institution and she's like a glue that binds a reset for gables critical perspectives. she can, she's at glue and, and that's could be the challenge, but will be the new glue. as we send you, your cultural historian and, and, and social commentator when he, when he were there at to day in london, you were watching all of this happening around you. i mean, how, how, how was it the sort of in a separate that your, your own personal feelings from your, your, your preferred you're from your wearing a professional hat but, but also, i mean,

you must have found what was going on around. you completely fascinating. it was an extent of overwhelming mothers up people. well, i was of the one because of, of, of the privilege of i am going to ben's can't. we will pamela. this is, but what was quite interesting with all the pomp and ceremony. i couldn't reminds you, i know you saw the berries, french months. um and those aspects the armed forces. i can remote that prim. how this. i think all the empower which at one stage was old birds. oh no, it was wrong there. so you have was ceremony which the mon job icon age barbara. so the question is yes, great tons of the sun may. but as we approached,

as one in super sunshine approach 22nd century how we can oh, look up, britain historically unconcerned pre arthur what issues as past process of breathing is out, you know, as a national level is a that it will create opportunity and definitely some big issues of debates and british society of our current britain do want to have those to was i'm a britain which has this analytical system. but even though the, the mcgraw family just want control does not ever to want to come the politic from a can policy, am healthcare policy in britain. but it has his monarchical role, which is the through the 22nd century. and honestly, often is going to increase in compensation to the balance or should been cool. republic. oh is are on the, on the mccarran countries hub to sod speed,

the little republican be sovereign. that it since for a conversation round devolution and well scotland miss ill. these things will, will be interesting as of all, i am patrick. good still too many thanks. indeed patrick for dinner in central london. let's bring in and once again for the ed owens, sir, who has been with us throughout the day here at editor whether you want to pick up on anything with patrick, we're saying number. but looking at the pictures here from windsor as sir, the are the queen this coffin, the state hers processed through the the, the cambridge gates. what it, what are your thoughts on, on what we're seeing here, the shift number of people who turned out to see this? yeah, i think common again impressed by the, the magisterial as a scale of, of what we're witnessing ah, the execution of this event in terms of the miniature military aspect has been really impressive. ah, really striking. i think the orderliness of the,

of the marching it sends, it sends a sort of a strong i strong signal, i think, to the rest of the world that britain take these things extremely seriously. and you know, this has been a touching attaching last couple of hours watching a list for the 2nd make her way home to windsor from central london. she cared deeply about windsor car. so she saw this as her home. she had strong connections to this place. having spent much of her life here, notably or so during the 2nd world war, this is where she spent most of her her time. so i think it, you know, it's a very fitting end to what's been a, a dramatic day. i'm a very memorable day thus far. i'm. i'm excited to see how this this final ceremony pans out. again, it's the 1st time the this kind of of, of state funeral. ah, we get access to it via our television screens from inside saint george's chapel.

so again, as exciting innovation here, but it's always rooted and anchored in this is this longer idea of tradition and, and history reaching back more than a 100 years and many thanks, deeds or the possession now within the grounds of winds across. so as you can see that the, the public are out are not permitted to, to be there for this part of the procession as it makes it way. it's way towards the george forth geisha and, and the but the quadrangle, let's bring it out. there is alan fisher who's actually asked what's the cost of the moment alan, we've got minute guns fired by the king's troop royal horse artillery on the, the east lawn. the bells, the submersible bell and a curfew tower bell. are tolling a? what's, what's due to happen there? now, within the next hour,

while they, as we've been saying that this is a place rooted in history and tradition, and that will be reflected in the service that we will see. 800 guests have been invited to form the congregation different from the guess who were in westminster abbey. these people are lot closer to the royal family, their personal friends, people who what could the queen, people have a real connection with the royal family. as we said that the service will be conducted by the dean of windsor. he'll be assisted by other clergymen, including the minister from catholic church in scotland and also the rector of the church at sandringham in the east of england. there will be a reading which will essentially repeat what was read at our grandparents' funeral and also her father's funeral. and there will be a rush in him that will be sung by the choir at that's important as well, because the very same him was sung at prince phillips funeral. just last year,

when he died, the women are the person that the queen described as her rock. and then there is the ceremony where the instruments of state, the crown the or but the set that we've seen on the coffin for so many days now will be removed and placed on the altar. and then the lord chamberlain, who is essentially the head of the queen's household. he will break his wand of office and place it on the coffin at queen elizabeth will then be entered in the, at the crypt in saint george's chapel. and she will be placed beside her husband. but that will happen at a private ceremony this evening, around $715.00 this evening. when it will simply be members of the royal family who will gather for that service. it won't be on tv. this will be the chance finally for the royal family to see their own personal farewells to a mother, to a grandmother and to a great grandmother if you bear with me just the 2nd adrian. there is some shooting

going on just to, to the right, and i'm trying to find out exactly what has happened at it. it's a, it's angry, shouting, but i couldn't quite make out what was going on. there are thousands of people here on this side of the castle as well as the 100000 the gather to on the long walk. the police are dotted all around the crowd. clearly they are, are keeping an eye open for any potential trouble. and we've seen royal protest, there's people who are protesting against the idea of a monarchy. continuing in a country like britain and the 21st century, they have made their views known throughout the last 1011 days. some of them have been arrested and charged with things like breach of the peace. and so the police here are standing by ready for any protest that that may need their attention. i but it's a sign that they're not. everyone is totally enamored by the idea of such a grand occasion here in the united kingdom. while the pol suggest that is

a majority who still support the idea of a constitutional monarchy, that is still a significant minority who believe that britain should perhaps move on. and have an elected head of state, and certainly that is a conversation that is happening in some of the countries of the commonwealth who me well decide somewhere down the line that the british monarch should no longer be their head of state. and they should strike coach or narrow. and so the, the protest, whatever angry voices there were, seems to have melted away. it was a very loud. it wasn't very big. but it's certainly something that, that we should be aware of as frickin continues with the pomp and ceremony to mark the end of this more than elizabeth an age. alan fisher, that lives in central windsor, the other side of the castle is rory charles rory. ah yes,

well there are so many people that have turned out to watch the queen's coffin. i like we been doing on our screens for the last 45 minutes or so make that final procession up the long walk. that's the crowd. so at least a $100000.00 of them are now being directed to where i am. it's called home park in it's on one side of the casa, which can see of course, in my background. and we have an extended number of people here who i can speak to . now we have here, sabrina zayna and foward sons. many, many children. i can't quite count. how many now you're french, you live in the u. k. what does it mean to you? why have you come down here? so we live in u. k, a for one year, and we came. mazda may june, for did you believe, and sadly, now we wanted to pay respects for the queen. so we want to feel the atmosphere. and yes, sir, i know her respect and its history in the making is mm hm. yeah,

definitely, definitely. and we would like to do sarah dessler with the british people and then we part of this country now. so this is very important for us and for the children to come here with your friend heritage. what, what do you think of the purchase more? he why does it hold so much? appeal to people around the world is a strange institution. it's perhaps outdated, which been hearing from one of our corresponds alan fisher was saying, but yeah, there are some people who don't think that the british monarchy should have a role in the 21st century. but still it's so popular. still people come in there, hundreds of thousands in the queen why i think we born with it. so. yeah, it's like we, we always living with hannah may be content. it's not, it's useless but so yeah, we know that so faces of this people for a long time. so that's why year the potter for lie. so believe that her support and so the team all the born we we, we know by the queen and the son. yet the more now she so it just like except

martha sir sam. we want on night and the pictures have you been watching the funeral? so far today, what am, what have you made of thing so far? i mean, we were impressed by all this. no big events on the all the sir for president sir, kings queens coming to the to the west wasn't father. yeah. was it? yes. yes. that's what he was of. i mean the given the i was impressed but how everything was a process and organized by anyone like wrong. he was there. i believe what to do. i mean, the, the cameras were on the phone in the family on the coffin, so i think i believe you are. we legalize yes. well, i'll let you go and you can man carry on watching the pictures. there are amazing pictures. we can see, see them on the screen there. i have a nice day there got another, got the, another voice from the crowd that this is c. as i said, that many,
