tomorrow's front pages, starting with... we starting with. .. have we starting with... have got almost all the papers and we have got almost all the papers and asked his to be the case on a friday night. one story dominates and you will not be surprised. today was the thanksgiving service for the queen in st paul's cathedral. the telegraph highlights how she's stayed the course, a horse racing metaphor she'd probably approve of. the express picks up on the thanksgiving theme, but points out that her majesty wasn't there herself because of her mobility problems. the times says her absence was keenly felt, but the archbishop of york made a point of saying that the queen was "still in the saddle". the daily mail focuses on the split between the royal princes, william and harry, on its front page. the paper claims it is still very

much alive. there's a very similiar take on family division in the daily mirror. and finally, the i newspaper breaks with the consensus. it carries a warning from borisjohnson to conservative mps that if they ditch him, they will lose the general election. i'm sure our guests here will have an opinion on that this is very much the sort of stories they have been writing the last few days and maybe writing the last few days and maybe writing for a few more yet. but we will leave that for now and good evening to both of you and thank you for bridging off from your long weekend for being with us. bit of a bossman �*s holiday coming out of the papers but great to have you. we will start with the tyrants. yes. will start with the tyrants. yes, leadin: will start with the tyrants. yes, leading with — will start with the tyrants. yes, leading with some _ will start with the tyrants. yes, leading with some grand - will start with the tyrants. ye: leading with some grand pictures of the queen's leading with some grand pictures of the oueen�*sjubilee service in the paper today, the oueen�*sjubilee service in the papertoday, kicking the oueen�*sjubilee service in the paper today, kicking off with the archbishop of york's comments highlighting the queen's love of horses saying she is still very much

in the saddle and the queen definitely watching from buckingham palace but there was still an essence of her presence seem in st. paul's cathedral earlier today. and we saw dozens of members of the royalfamily we saw dozens of members of the royal family gathering for this with a significant moment... bless you. lovely to see and despite harry and meghan making every turn, their first time being sent public since march 2020, still they did not dominate the show. it was still very much focused on unity and the royal family despite the negative tone that many papers have taken today. also quite interesting that terry and meghan did not get as much billing as much as our prime minister borisjohnson and his wife carriejohnson and i think thatjust shows how far the royalfamily shows how far the royal family have car believe it or not. of course there are obviously still

differences and they were not directly behind kay and william in the cathedral, but equally it's just a great site is in them there and it's a massive show of strength really. it's a massive show of strength reall . �* , , ., really. it's interesting that question _ really. it's interesting that question and _ really. it's interesting that question and we _ really. it's interesting that question and we will- really. it's interesting that question and we will come really. it's interesting that i question and we will come to really. it's interesting that - question and we will come to that a bit more later. i was very struck by the first paragraph of this. a lot of these front pages on the occasion like this are done almost like sketches. they are not so much news reports as try to capture the atmosphere in the mood of an event. valentine low whose byline appears on this article says the show must go on sure of it start missing the very person at the centre of the nation's calls this weekend, the queen's platinumjubilee rolled on regardless yesterday. ida queen's platinum jubilee rolled on regardless yesterday.— queen's platinum jubilee rolled on regardless yesterday. no doubt the queen would've _ regardless yesterday. no doubt the queen would've been _ regardless yesterday. no doubt the queen would've been disappointed | regardless yesterday. no doubt the l queen would've been disappointed to miss the _ queen would've been disappointed to miss the church service today and we know _ miss the church service today and we know are _ miss the church service today and we know are we — miss the church service today and we know are we see personal faith is very important to her, anyone who is ever washed —

striking. you have camilla besides prince charles and kate middleton besides print william and it is a great sign of unity and a great sign of a future to come for royalists all over the country that i adore the queen and adore the royal family. and i am sure that they will have been very proud of the display of love and support they showed for each other and obviously this is a sign of prince charles taking on more responsibility as his mum slowly but surely so the transition will be eased and will give some peace to many fans across the country but we must remember, i believe it was queen victoria who could not go to one of her diamond jubilees around 1897, so the archbishop of york to keep saint for the service that she is still in the saddle and is very much still here, not the end of the queen just yet but just not the end of the queen just yet butjust a sign of many more great things to come. find butjust a sign of many more great

these days. and to be fair to them, they do a terrificjob with the front page because it's visually very strong because the picture they have chosen. actually from within the service, all the bishops and all the service, all the bishops and all the other leading figures of stay as it were, the bigwig to figures like this in the bleep the president of the supreme court and the lord chancellor ellis other figures, is a great show of pageantry and they managed to get the queen and the other principles of the royal family on the front cover as well. irate other principles of the royal family on the front cover as well.- on the front cover as well. we are seeinr a on the front cover as well. we are seeing a transition. _ on the front cover as well. we are seeing a transition. we _ on the front cover as well. we are seeing a transition. we saw- on the front cover as well. we are | seeing a transition. we saw prince charles_ seeing a transition. we saw prince charles standing in for the queen at the state _ charles standing in for the queen at the state opening of parliament. we saw prince _ the state opening of parliament. we saw prince charles and camilla, we know _ saw prince charles and camilla, we know the _ saw prince charles and camilla, we know the queen has said in recent months _ know the queen has said in recent months that when she goes that it is very much— months that when she goes that it is very much her wish that camilla becomes— very much her wish that camilla becomes queen. and so partly the queen— becomes queen. and so partly the queen has— becomes queen. and so partly the queen has not been able to do some of these _ queen has not been able to do some of these things for practical reasons, _ of these things for practical reasons, you can quite understand

her 70 years as monarch. and i think it's showing a great deal of respect to prince charles that he is not using this as a chance to get himself into the limelight, showcase all sorts of what king he would be in a calm, but instead just as the same keeping the focus on his mum the cleaning making sure she is getting the right sort of praise and recognition and the right thanksgiving in this service is much as she could. it seems as though everyone in the royalfamily as she could. it seems as though everyone in the royal family got that message got the memo bang on and they are not seeing massive images of drama despite the front pages you see on the daily mail like the split between harry and meghan and kate and prince william, that which is not that much drama between them apart from where they were sitting. them apart from where they were sittina. ., ., , ., ., sitting. not overshadowing the messa . e sitting. not overshadowing the message of— sitting. not overshadowing the message of the _ sitting. not overshadowing the message of the event. - sitting. not overshadowing the message of the event. and - sitting. not overshadowing the message of the event. and ofl sitting. not overshadowing the - message of the event. and of course a picture everybody wants to see if the queen meeting her new great—granddaughter but whether or

not there will be a photograph of that, i don't know because it probably depends on how she looks whether they had a baby looks. i want to pick up on the delete mail and the daily mirror and i want to take them together if i may because in a sense both papers are doing the same story and they have chosen to treat it differently in terms of photograph they have chosen but the message incidental to the same. painfully distant but we know a reason they were formally a part but we cannot know from this is whether privately they might actually have had some quite good moments together over this weekend. because the excess of six were not on the balcony because they are not working royals. they division separately from the others because again they not working royals so it's a slight danger that we are overplaying this division. we knew it was there two years ago, but the papers go back to it's visually because it's good copy
