but members of the family remain here with the queen, and we know that, or perhaps we think that, we speculate that members of the family well or may come out later today to look at some of these wonderful bouquets and wonderful messages that have been left. certainly they have grown in number since we were here yesterday morning, no surprise, because we saw a steady stream of people arriving here at balmoral throughout the day to leave those floral tributes. a little late in the afternoon, yesterday, i went to the afternoon, yesterday, i went to the nearest town to balmoral, we saw people queueing there for the coaches, which have been laid on specifically to bring people here to pay their respects, and opposite that coach stop is the church of glen muick in the centre of balmoral, where a photo of the late greene has been placed as another focal point for floral tributes. ——

of the late queen. yes, members of the royal family still with the queen's body before her son the now king charles is she makes the last greatjourney. we are waiting on details of how exactly thatjourney will unfold in the coming days, but for the moment, and a sense of quiet here. i'm sure it will get easier today because those coaches as i mentioned have been laid on today from early in the morning until late in the evening to bring people here. for the moment, it is very quiet, it is peaceful, the mists are hovering over the river dee, which i canjust hearin over the river dee, which i canjust hear in the background, i don't know if you can hear it, but a sense of calm, a sense of peace, but obviously a sense of sadness as well in this place, which the queen loved so much, and the people in this local area know it meant so much to her, and she meant so much to them.

her body is in the ballroom at balmoral castle. it is where the people who worked for her, many of them for a very long time, are saying theirfinal them for a very long time, are saying their final goodbyes to her. we know understandably they are very, very upset. that is what we have heard from inside the castle. they are saying their final goodbyes before the queen's body will eventually be taken from here on to edinburgh and then eventually back to london, but those precise details, the details of that ceremony, that is what we are waiting to hear, we don't know if we will get that information later today, perhaps we will, but for the moment balmoral is very much the focal point for people in this area who want to pay their respects. back to you. who want to pay their respects. back to ou. ., ~ ,, let's go to buckingham palace now, where king charles received such a warm reception yesterday. joanna gosling is there. good morning to you. of course now more people from outside of london

just flowers, candles are lit outside the palace. there are teddies of paddington bear, of course remembering that iconic recording that the queen made with paddington bear inside the palace here behind me for the platinum jubileejust a few here behind me for the platinum jubilee just a few months ago, and yesterday king charles iii had his first direct encounter with members of the public when he arrived here and got out of his car with the queen consort camilla and took some time to greet members of the crowd. they kissed his hand, one kissed his cheek and there were shouts of god save the king. then he went in there obviously difficult that statement for the nation, which we saw last night. he has a busy day here again today, but let'sjust night. he has a busy day here again today, but let's just take a look now at what happened with all of those coming here as a focal point to take —— to pay tribute, with graham satchell.

palace at full mast, although we do understand that king charles the third did not spend the night here, he and the queen consort was understood had always planned to spend the night at clarence house just up the road. and of course this is the seat of the monarchy in london, and it is where we expect the king to return a little bit later today after that first duty of the day, the accession council at which an oath will be sworn, and afterwards he will be reclaimed king. after that we expect him to come here to buckingham palace where he will meet with liz truss, the new prime minister again, he met with her yesterday here, and we expect him to meet her again here today, along with members of the cabinet, and also the archbishop of canterbury, and whether or not he will stop to greet the crowd as he did yesterday, we don't know at this stage. but there are many, many

floral tributes, there are so many people coming here who want to pay their respects, show their thanks and gratitude for the lifetime service of his mother, the and also, to welcome him as the new monarch, so people will be coming here all day and we will of course be here with them. back to you in the studio. thank you very much. mps and peers will gather in parliament today for a rare saturday session to continue paying tribute to the queen. our political correspondent ione wells can tell us more. a very good morning to you. it was an important day in the commons. many mps taking the chance to pay the tributes alongside the meeting between the new prime minister and king charles. that between the new prime minister and king charles-— king charles. that is right. business _ king charles. that is right. business as _ king charles. that is right. business as usual - king charles. that is right. business as usual here - king charles. that is right. business as usual here in i business as usual here in westminster, it is somewhat important until the 21st. again, both houses of parliament from one o'clock will have the chance to pay

tribute to the late her majesty the queen as well. from about 1pm those tributes will begin, but first something the mps will blend an oath of allegiance to his majesty the king, which of mps will have the opportunity to do at a later date, and then those tributes will continue until about 10pm this evening and i think we can expect as her desolate more personal memories being shared from some politicians about their experiences with the queen, but also, many mps repeating the sentiment that came up by your lot yesterday with many describing her as the country's constant over the years that they have served in parliament as well. before that, there is going to be this formal ceremony at stjames's palace just down the road from where we are today. it will formally proclaim king charles iii as king, what is known as the accession council made up known as the accession council made up of senior politicians, members of thejudiciary, and archbishops, who

will formally proclaim him king, and he will also make his own personal declaration, an oath at that ceremony, and then later today we will expect, as we heard there from joanna, this audience between the prime minister and her cabinet and the king as well. this comes after liz truss's first audience with the king yesterday where he turned to her and said that he has got to try and keep things going, and it was a really symbolic moment for the governance and the constitution of the uk with a new monarch, new prime minister ohl in the space of a week. it is a week which, as the historian sir anthony selden has ascribed it, began with borisjohnson presiding over her majesty's government, week that ends in westminster with liz truss residing over his majesty's government. truss residing over his ma'esty's governmentfi truss residing over his ma'esty's rovernment. ., ,, , ., , . we can take a look now at some

of this morning's newspapers. "god save the king" is the headline on the front of the times, alongside an image of king charles iii outside buckingham palace. "loyalty, respect, love" are the new king's key pledges to the nation, the mirror writes. and of course from his speech to the nation last night. i photograph of the monarch alongside a portrait of his late mother. the telegraph's front page details king charles�*s first acts as monarch, including his formal proclamation later today. the paper also reflects on his first address, calling it "one of the most remarkable king's speeches". the guardian carries that same image of the new king, deep in thought whilst looking

at some of the tributes outside the palace yesterday. he went to meet people in those short walkabouts, the paper highlights his pledge to serve with loyalty and love. unsurprisingly there is not much football happening today. most matches across the uk have been cancelled as a mark of respect to the queen. rugby union, test cricket and the golf pga championship are all taking place today, however, while some horse racing returns tomorrow. players and officials from a wide range of sports have been paying tribute to her majesty asjoe wilson reports. today �*the glums' board will pause, across england, scotland, wales and northern ireland, football has decided to stop. horse racing, the queen's rate passion, will also be postponed in britain. other sports continue with expressions of regret and respect. this was the theme during practice at the italian grand prix. there was at the cricket test match at the oval and sport will

remember. the queen was there to acknowledge and elevate some of the proudest moments in sports, bobby moore at wembley in 1966, virginia wade at wimbledon in 1977. the queen was a constant as the winner changed. here, evans received the 5—nation rugby union trophy for wales. uniquely, the queen officially opened two olympic games, 1976 in montreal where her daughter princess and competed for great britain, in the equestrian team. an london 2012. britain, in the equestrian team. an london 2012— britain, in the equestrian team. an london 2012. _, ., ~ �* ., london 2012. good evening, mr bond. good evening. — london 2012. good evening, mr bond. good evening, your— london 2012. good evening, mr bond. good evening, your majesty. - london 2012. good evening, mr bond. good evening, your majesty. james i good evening, your ma'esty. james bond rhiem — good evening, your ma'esty. james bond thiem skydiving _ good evening, your majesty. james bond thiem skydiving arrival- good evening, your majesty. i—ne" bond thiem skydiving arrival with a triumph of choreography and humour as well as dignity. so close was the queen's sporting associations commented no surprise her death has prompted reactions. i commented no surprise her death has prompted reactions.— prompted reactions. i have to lie to the funeral — prompted reactions. i have to lie to the funeral because _ prompted reactions. i have to lie to the funeral because i _ prompted reactions. i have to lie to the funeral because i owe -

patterns of cloud, mist and fog through the morning and one or two showers of wedding to the afternoon particularly along some eastern counties where they will be more of a breeze blowing off the north sea generally a more northerly direction. furtherwest generally a more northerly direction. further west of the whims will be lighter and it will feel pleasant in the sunshine with temperatures in the north around the high teens. england and wales generally 20 two maybe 22 celsius across southern england. most of the showers fade away across eastern areas but we will see a return to some mist and fog patches ridiculous for england and wales. it will be a cooler night to come under clear skies, light whims, such averages will be lower than the last few lights. temperatures falling into single digits for most. but two of the weekend, we still have high pressure across much of the country, this complicated area of low pressure will be sliding into western areas as the day wears on. we start off on a fairly chilly note around, plenty of sunshine, mist and

fog which may be slow to clear in places, but a fine afternoon for much of the country. conditions training cloudy, breezy and wet and western parts. top temperatures may be a little bit higher, 23 degrees across the south. moving into monday, an area of high pressure retreats. the war air across other areas for a while, this area of low pressure will take over across northern and western areas, bringing a band of rain that will spread south and east through the day, some heavy bursts. behind it will be cooler and brighter, to the south it will be sunnier and warmer, top temperatures around 25 degrees. midteens further north. area of low pressure move south, so about of rain spread south across the country in high—pressure moves in as we move deeper into the new week with northerly winds it will turn cooler or all areas.

you are watching bbc breakfast. today we will be looking ahead to the formal population of king charles iii as monarch. he is meeting the accession council at ten o'clock this morning at saintjames �*s palace. that event will be televised for the first time. then a public announcement will be made in the city of london. similar declarations will follow in belfast, cardiff and edinburgh tomorrow. we'll also continue to bring you more reflections on the life of her majesty queen elizabeth ii, whose body remains in balmoral today, as floral tributes are laid outside the gates of that castle, and at buckingham palace, windsor castle, sandringham, and other venues across the uk and commonwealth. king charles made his first formal address as a monarch yesterday — and praised his mother's warmth, humour and sense of duty. he said her 96 years amounted to "a life well lived", and promised to follow her example.

as the queen herself did with such unswerving devotion, i too now solemnly pledge myself, throughout the remaining time god grants me, to uphold the constitutional principles at the heart of our nation. and wherever you may live in the united kingdom, or in the realms and territories across the world, and whatever may be your background or beliefs, i shall endeavour to serve you with loyalty, respect and love, as i have throughout my life. my life will, of course, change as i take up my new responsibilities. it will no longer be possible for me to give so much of my time and energies to the charities and issues for which i care so deeply.

but i know this important work will go on in the trusted hands of others. this is also a time of change for my family. i count on the loving help of my darling wife, camilla. in recognition of her own loyal public service since our marriage 17 years ago, she becomes my queen consort. i know she will bring to the demands of her new role the steadfast devotion to duty on which i have come to rely so much. as my heir, william now assumes the scottish titles, which have meant so much to me. he succeeds me as duke of cornwall and takes on the responsibilities for the duchy of cornwall, which i have undertaken

for more than five decades. today, i am proud to create him prince of wales, tywysog cymru, the country whose title i have been so greatly privileged to bear during so much of my life and duty. with catherine beside him, our new prince and princess of wales will, i know, continue to inspire and lead our national conversations, helping to bring the marginal to the centre ground where vital help can be given. i want also to express my love for harry and meghan, as they continue to build their lives overseas. in a little over a week's time, we will come together as a nation, as a commonwealth, and indeed

a global community, to lay my beloved mother to rest. in our sorrow, let us remember and draw strength from the light of her example. on behalf of all my family, i can only offer the most sincere and heartfelt thanks for your condolences and support. they mean more to me than i can ever possibly express. and to my darling mama, as you begin your last greatjourney tojoin my dear late papa, i want simply to say this — thank you. thank you for your love and devotion to our family, and to the family of nations you have served so diligently all these years.

may flights of angels sing thee to thy rest. so that was part of king charles�*s address to the nation that took place last night. many people will have watched it. it was a combination of real emotion, tributes and dimensions of love. his family, the things that are important to him and looking ahead to the future, and today is very much about that, as more of the procedures around the next few days emerge. today, charles iii will be formally proclaimed king in a televised ceremony at stjames's palace this morning. our diplomatic correspondent james landale is there. good morning to you. soberly things that are different. for one, this is something most of us in the country

will have no idea about what it looks like, but we are getting to see it, because it is being televised, as well.- see it, because it is being televised, as well. that's right, nata. televised, as well. that's right, naga. something _ televised, as well. that's right, naga. something we _ televised, as well. that's right, naga. something we have - televised, as well. that's right, | naga. something we have never televised, as well. that's right, - naga. something we have never seen before. this is essentially the moment, we know the king is already working, that happen when the queen died most of this is the moment when all the constitutional niceties and procedures about that moment are sorted out, so what is going to happen is they will be meeting here at st james's palace, happen is they will be meeting here at stjames's palace, about happen is they will be meeting here at st james's palace, about ten o'clock, 200 of the most senior ministers, 11g diplomats from the realms, holders of the great offices of state. they will have a meeting, discussed various details, oaths and proclamations, then a bit later the king willjoin them, that will become a formal meeting of the privy council, his first official meeting in his new role. he will make various oaths, declarations about the death of his mother. he will also agree various orders and councils to allow for the continuity of government, then once that has

happened, the text of the proclamation that has been agreed will be read on that balcony out there. so essentially this was a moment in times past, before we have things like social media, when the people would be formally told, that the previous monarch had died, and this is who is going to be the new sovereign. so there will be this declaration here, other declarations in the city of london in the coming 24 in the city of london in the coming 21g hours around the nations to formally tell the people, look, this is what has happened, and king charles is your new king.- is what has happened, and king charles is your new king. thank you very much- — charles is your new king. thank you very much- james — charles is your new king. thank you very much. james landale - charles is your new king. thank you very much. james landale there - charles is your new king. thank you very much. james landale there for| very much. james landale there for us. gun salutes, the tolling of church bells, a united house of commons and an emotional address from the new king. yesterday was an historic day. jane mccubbin went to york to see what people there made of it. in york, everything it has not been

there. tell us a little more. mellie there. tell us a little more. well, ou can there. tell us a little more. well, you can only _ there. tell us a little more. well, you can only feel _ there. tell us a little more. well, you can only feel the _ there. tell us a little more. well, you can only feel the respect, i there. tell us a little more. well, j you can only feel the respect, the reverence and the loss from the people's comments, because they are very personal. i'm just going to be due a couple of them to give you a feel. one person said to us she has always been a monarch, but to us she has a ways felt like a mum, and we feel like she was someone we can relate to. someone else told us that she is felt like this anchoring anchorin she is felt like this anchoring anchor in our lives, and we feel like we've lost a member of our family, and another woman told the bbc, i always felt that she reminded me of my grandmother. strong, enduring, but always in an amazing and beautiful dress, leading with grace and style. the prime minister anthony albanese has described the queen's commitment to service as inspiring, and he said we lost an encouraging guide. he said that australia always had a special place

in the queen's heart. she has visited here 16 times, the first of course was this historic visit in 1954, when she set foot on the sydney hard here. and it was the biggest event in australia plus make history. no other event was as big as that. three quarters of the population came out to see her and her majesty would visit another 15 times. today, there was a wreath laying ceremony in the queen's terrace, in parliament house, that was led by the governor—general, the queen's representative, the prime minister and many dignitaries and diplomats, and you could feel the sombre mood in parliament house today. it is a place normally of a however of activity, but as these wreaths were being laid in silence, you could feel the sadness, notjust among the politicians and the diplomats, but also among the australian people. flags are flying half—mast in parliament house, but here behind me as well, the australian and the aboriginal flags

are flying at half—mast on the sydney bridge, as tributes continue to come in. 11 sydney bridge, as tributes continue to come in-— to come in. there are other voices thou:h to come in. there are other voices though aren't _ to come in. there are other voices though aren't there, _ to come in. there are other voices though aren't there, from - though aren't there, from the republican movement. what have they been saying?— been saying? indeed. you know, i think the queen's _ been saying? indeed. you know, i think the queen's passing - been saying? indeed. you know, i think the queen's passing has i been saying? indeed. you know, i think the queen's passing has set| been saying? indeed. you know, i i think the queen's passing has set in motion a number of things. parliament will be suspended for 15 days first of course, the gradual phasing out of the currency, because a new currency with king charles iii's face that will be on it. there is going to be a day, a memorial service day in a couple of weeks, but also the queen's death has enlivened the republican debate. many people, many republicans are saying, as respectful as they are to the queen and the person she was and her dedication to duty, it is now time for australia to decide on whether they want what they see as a foreign sovereign being the head of state, or be a republic with a

president. interestingly, just a week before the platinum jubilee, a minister in anthony albanese's government was appointed just for this purpose, to see australia on the road to becoming a republic, and i remember asking the prime minister at the time of marking the queen's jubilee, they said look, you are preparing for australia to become a republic, when you think this is going to happen? and he said now was not the time, and i think even the staunchest republican today here in australia, while they feel very strongly about australia becoming a republic with a president, will tell you now is not the time for that. there will be a time, there will be a referendum to ask people what they want. for now, it is about paying tribute to a queen that is seen here not just as tribute to a queen that is seen here notjust as head of state but a true friend of australia and a symbol of duty and service throughout the 70 years of her reign.— our south asia correspondent yogita limaye is in delhi. yogita, queen elizabeth visited india three times during her reign — how was she regarded?

the reaction here has been a bit muted, because it has been 25 years since the queen's last visit, and it has been 75 years since india became an independent country, it has been trying to move away from its imperial past, and with that, its links with the british royal family had become less significant over a period of time. it is also a difficult relationship because of the nature of colonial rule, but i think what has been evident in the reactions we have had here is that most people have chosen to look beyond the institution that the queen represented to the person that she was. indian prime minister and the render o'dea this great —— in the render o'dea this great —— in the render o'dea this great —— in the render modi said she she personified dignity in public life. his government has announced a day of state mourning held tomorrow, so across the country flags will be flying at half—mast and no official events will be taking place. this is

a society that really values a life spent in service, a life spent in duty, and that's what we're seeing in a lot of the tributes coming out here. there is a deep of respect for that, the fact that so many decades of her life were spent in public service and spent with dignity and decency. service and spent with dignity and decen . 11

you. i know one of the things that really kind of brings the story home, brings what has happened home is people's reactions, people's emotions, and how they feel. you are absolutely right. it is a privilege to do ourjob, to say these as it were. but it is really enabling people to use their own voices, say that they were feeling. we spoke to so many people yesterday, everybody had a different story, everybody i had a different reason for why they wanted to come here to buckingham palace, everybody what they had a personal link to her majesty the queen. both of them, pretty much everybody i spoke to would not have had the opportunity to meet her. crowds building, and certainly in the last few minutes have doubled in size outside buckingham palace. there are any flowers, floral tributes because overnight, crews have spent the

decades — like seven decades of service. we will talk to lots of others in the day. are building a building. yesterday when i left, constitution hill, near the back garden, the queue extended for about 300 metres or more, peoplejoining it all the time, just to come here and lay floral tributes. people are now being asked to take them to green park. still people will come here to buckingham palace, the famous balcony to reflect and perhaps to say thank you to her majesty the queen. back to you. thank you very much, john. it is good to hear affectionate tributes from that little boy there, and taking the journey. this from that little boy there, and taking thejourney. this is, his dad says it is a moment in history. the overnight coachjust to says it is a moment in history. the overnight coach just to pay their respects to be part of history. we have heard many glowing tributes to the queen over the last day or so, and we know she had many interests and passions. however, herfamous discretion means

we rarely heard her speak about what was personal to her. so, after two days in which so much has been said about her, here's an insight into the remarkable life of her majesty in her own words. i didn't have an apprenticeship. my father died much too young, and so it was all a very sudden kind of taking on and making the bestjob you can. it's a question of maturing into something that one has got used to doing, and accepting the fact that here you are and it's your fate. it is a job for life. these 25 years have seen

much change for britain. no longer an imperial power, we have been coming to terms with what this means for ourselves and for our relations with the rest of the world. but look all right for the background?— but look all right for the background? it but look all right for the backuround? , ., , m background? yes, it does. it would be awful if you _ background? yes, it does. it would be awful if you said _ background? yes, it does. it would be awful if you said no! _ background? yes, it does. it would be awful if you said no! it - background? yes, it does. it would be awful if you said no! it is - background? yes, it does. it would be awful if you said no! it is all - be awful if you said no! it is all right, though, is it? whenever you are ready. red and green shall never be seen. it's not the new inventions which are the difficulty. the trouble is caused by unthinking people who carelessly throw away ageless ideals as if they were

old and outworn machinery. they would have religion thrown aside, morality in personal and public life made meaningless, honesty counted as foolishness and self—interest set up in place of self—restraint. at this critical moment in our history, we will certainly lose the trust and respect of the world if we just abandon those fundamental principles which guided the men and women who built the greatness of this country and commonwealth. most people have a job and then they go home, and in this existence, the job and the life go on together because you can't really divide it up. the boxes and the communications just keep on coming. and, of course, in modern communications, they come even quicker. i mean, luckily i'm a quick reader,

though i do rather begrudge some of the hours that i have to do instead of being outdoors. i have had quite a lot of prime ministers, starting with winston, and some stayed longer than others. they unburden themselves or they tell me what's going on or if they've got any problems, and sometimes one can help in that way too. it's the sort of thing that happens to me when i talk in a crowd. they know that one can be impartial, so to speak. i think it's rather nice to feel that one's a sort of sponge. and everybody can come and tell one things and some things stay there and some things go out the other ear, and some things never come out at all. one just knows about it.

i would have thought, for the state visit to austria, this might be very useful, 'cause it's got a wool coat, and in may, one never knows, does one? really. so something like that, and that one. i'm always absolutely fascinated by the people who come and all the things that they've done. i think that's very important, that the system does discover people who do unsung things, you know. and i think that's very satisfactory. lovely. i think people need pats on the back sometimes. it's a very dingy world otherwise.

0ur humble and hearty thanks to all those in britain and around the world who have welcomed us and sustained us and ourfamily in the good times and the bad so unstintingly over many years. we are deeply grateful to you, each and every one. my goodness, i've been busy. i declare before you all, that my whole life, whether it be long or short, shall be devoted to your service. god help me to make good my vow, and god bless all of you who are willing to share in it. while we may have more still to endure, better days will return. we will be with our friends again.

we will be with our families again. we will meet again. wonderful to hear her voice actually. it is the most similar thing, we didn't hear her speak very often, that was a compilation of key moments in time as well. we are coming up to seven o'clock. let's see how the weather is looking. stav has the forecast. hello there. good morning to you. things this weekend are looking a lot quieter weatherwise. we've lost this area of low pressure, which has been with us all week, bringing plenty of showers and thunderstorms. so it is drier this weekend with some sunny spells around. there'll still be a few showers knocking around, particularly across the eastern side of the country as this area of low pressure continues to push into the near continent. but higher pressure will be building in behind it so winds will be turning light and there'll be plenty of sunshine across northern and western areas to begin the day today. across england and wales, some patches of cloud, some mist and fog through

the morning and one or two showers as we head into the afternoon, particularly along some eastern counties where there'll be more of a breeze as well blowing in off the north sea, generally a more northerly direction. but further west, the winds will be lighter and it'll feel quite pleasant i think in the sunshine with temperatures in the north around the high teens. england and wales generally 20 to maybe 22 celsius across southern england. and then through this evening and overnight, most of the showers fade away across eastern areas, but we will start to see a return to some dense mist and fog patches again, particularly for england and wales. it'll be a cooler night to come as well under clear skies, those light winds, so temperatures will be lower than the last few nights. these are towns and city values i think out of town. temperatures falling into single digits for most. into part two of the weekend, we've still got high pressure across much of the country, bringing some fine weather. this complicated area of low pressure with its weather front will be sliding into western areas as the day wears on. so, we start off on a fairly chilly note around, plenty of sunshine,

but we will have these mist and fog patches around, which may be slow to clear in one or two places, but a fine afternoon to come for much of the country. but conditions turning cloudier, breezier and wetter, certainly for northern ireland and into western scotland, western parts of wales and the south—west of england later on. top temperatures may be a little bit higher, up to 23 degrees across the south. and then as we move out of sunday into monday, we see our area of high pressure retreating. we will draw up some warm air across southern areas for a while, this area of low pressure will be slowly taking over, certainly across northern and western areas, bringing a band of rain, which will be spreading southwards and eastwards through the day, some heavy bursts perhaps. behind it will be cooler, brighter, one or two showers. but to the south, it'll be sunnier and warmer, top temperatures around 25 degrees. but the mid teens further north. that area of low pressure move southwards, so a band of rain spreads south across the country, and then high pressure builds in as we move deeper on into the new week. with northerly winds, though, it will tend to turn cooler for all areas.

good morning. welcome to breakfast, with naga munchetty and charlie stayt. 0ur headlines today — love, loyalty and duty — king charles thanks his mother for her unwavering service and makes a solemn vow in his first address as monarch. as the queen herself did with such unswerving devotion, i, too, now solemnly pledge myself throughout the remaining time god grants me, to uphold the constitutional principles at the heart of our nation. and to my darling mama, as you begin your last greatjourney tojoin my dear late papa, i want simply to say this — thank you.

as the throne passes from mother to son, charles iii will be formally proclaimed king at a historic ceremony at stjames's palace this morning. at buckingham palace, tributes continue to pour in for the queen, and in the areas surrounding balmoral, people reflect on the loss of their neighbour and friend. how much of the losses it to this area? , . area? huge, huge. here is a neighbour. _ area? huge, huge. here is a neighbour, he _ area? huge, huge. here is a neighbour, he is _ area? huge, huge. here is a neighbour, he is somebody. area? huge, huge. here is a. neighbour, he is somebody who area? huge, huge. here is a- neighbour, he is somebody who was part of this community who personally was part of this community, so when you lose somebody that close, it really, really affects individuals. it's saturday, 10th of september. we're looking ahead to the formal proclamation of king charles iii as monarch. that will happen at 10 o'clock this morning, at stjames's palace in london. for the first time in history, the announcement, by the accession council, will be televised.

we'll bring you more reflections from those who knew her majesty queen elizabeth ii, who died on thursday afternoon, and bring you the latest tributes from across the uk and commonwealth. first, our royal correspondent daniela relph reports on king charles�*s first full day as monarch, and his emotional tribute to the queen. his first public appearance as king. before official duty, he met the people at buckingham palace. the cameras stayed close. there was an informality, even a kiss from a well—wisher, amidst the condolences and chat. then, a poignant image. king charles iii and camilla queen consort walked into the palace, from where his mother had reigned for seven decades, and from where he will now serve, all ahead of the king's first address to the nation. queen elizabeth's was a life well lived, a promise with destiny kept, and she is mourned most

deeply in her passing. that promise of lifelong service i renew to you all today. my life will of course change, as i take up my new responsibilities. it will no longer be possible for me to give so much of my time and energies to the charities and issues, for which i care so deeply, but i know this important work will go on in the trusted hands of others. he thanked his wife, and both his sons, making william and catherine prince and princess of wales. with catherine beside him, our new prince and princess of wales will, i know, continue to inspire and lead our national conversations, helping to bring the marginal to the centre ground, where vital help can be given.

i want also to express my love for harry and meghan, as they continue to build their lives overseas. he ended with a moving personal tribute. and to my darling mama, as you begin your last greatjourney tojoin my dear late papa, i want to simply say this — thank you. thank you for your love and devotion to our family, and to the family of nations you have served so diligently all these years. may flights of angels sing thee to thy rest. a service of thanksgiving at st paul's cathedral saw senior politicians and members of the public reflect

on a long reign. it ended with the national anthem. now they sang "god save the king". and in a special bbc tribute programme last night, the queen's children spoke personally about their mother. it was a very special relationship, and apart from my three brothers, we are the only people who have that relationship, so that's how i will remember her. today at st james's palace, the new king will be officially proclaimed, when the ceremonial body, the accession council, meets, a moment that will be televised for the first time. we are now in a period of time where the country is both mourning the loss of queen elizabeth ii, alongside welcoming the reign of king charles iii. it is a mix of emotion

and formality, an adjustment for everyone. over the weekend, we will get more details about plans for the coming days, including the date of the state funeral, when the royal family will lead the country's farewell to queen elizabeth ii. daniela relph, bbc news. you could see in the report to the tributes paid at buckingham palace. yesterday king charles received such a warm reception, and joanna gosling as theirfirst this a warm reception, and joanna gosling as their first this morning. so a warm reception, and joanna gosling as theirfirst this morning. so many people we were hearing earlier, people we were hearing earlier, people travelling down who are not based in london, who are not so close, from all over the country, to visit, to pay their respects. absolutely, coming in their thousands yesterday from all over, all ages. there were people here throughout the day, and a large crowd here until 3am, and even

through the night people still coming, and if you look behind me now, the numbers are starting to grow again. hundreds of people here as the day begins, and the floral tributes that we saw in the report from yesterday were actually moved overnight. it is going to be happening every night, because they want to ensure that there is plenty of space for more floral tributes to come. i was speaking to some of the people who have been doing that work overnight, they have been working throughout the night, and they said hundreds of thousands of floral tributes were here, they are all being moved to a flower garden in green park, just very close to where we are standing. there are also candles burning through the night, and teddies, teddies of paddington bear, of course, remembering that sketch, that brief film that the queen made, just months ago, with paddington bear, here at buckingham palace for the platinum jubilee. and

we saw king charles iii and his queen consort camilla arrive here, and take some time to speak to members of the crowd, and the message very much was sorrow and gratitude for the life and the service of the queen, and also a very warm welcome for king charles iii, who seem to really take comfort from the kind words of those he met who were in the crowd, and we heard repeated shouts of god save the king. we have seen a real mix of the ceremony, the personal, that direct interaction with the crowd, and there will be much more of the ceremony today and the formal duty, because king charles will formally because king charles will formally be proclaimed king at a ceremony this morning. of course, he was king from the moment his mother passed away, but there will be that formal ceremony today, and after that, he will be back to buckingham palace,

where he will again greet the new prime minister liz truss. greeted her here yesterday, they had an audience yesterday, there will also be members of the cabinet coming and the archbishop of canterbury. but let's take a look back again at the tributes and the people who have felt compelled to come here to buckingham palace. graham satchell has this report. look at the streets around buckingham palace, heaving with people, many carrying bunches of flowers and handwritten tributes. the queues stretching as far as the eye could see. it is incredibly emotional, actually. really selfless and devoted, so ijust felt i really wanted to come and just be part of this, to be like a thank—you to her, for everything she has done in those

70 years for this country. precious. very, very special. privileged to come. to pay tribute. the queen has been an incredible leader, and has endured so much, and what she took on from such a young age, so soon after losing herfather, is so inspiring, no matter what your views are on any of this, i think that you can, as a human, be inspired by that, and respect that. what did the queen mean to you? constant stability in the country, just that one constant, like boris said, she was timeless,

and yeah, she was mother of the country. for a brief moment, the heavens opened. it couldn't have been more british, a queue for the queen in the rain. for some, a reminder of 1965, and the funeral of winston churchill. it was one of my earliest memories, standing on the balcony of somebody�*s office and watching the mile—long cortege go by. it kind of feels a bit that way, i think probably the queen is the most—loved brit since churchill and that is why we are all here. at all the various places in and around london where people have gathered to remember the queen, the feeling is the same — it is quiet, serious, dignified, and the sentiments expressed are the same. it is a mix of heartfelt respect and a profound sense of loss. gosh, they're so beautiful.

windsor castle, the place the queen called home, and again, more flowers and quiet contemplation. if there has been one constant in our lives in britain, it has been the queen, and i think it isjust her role, her sense of duty was obviously the thing that drove her, so i think she is just an amazing role model for both younger and older generations. it feels strange, because so many people here, it is quite quiet, - it is very quiet, and it is lovely- to see everybody coming together to share their respects, really. you know, i was thinking about it yesterday, she was probably- eve rybody's second mum. she was just there for everybody really, such a nice person. - back at buckingham palace, the new monarch, king charles, and the start of a transition, notjust in the transfer of constitutional power, but also in mood. smiles and handshakes.

he was very thankful for people coming out, and he just seemed very pleased to be here, and he appreciated people being here. we are at the end of an era, and as one chapter of history closes, another is opening. graham satchell, bbc news. and the king really did seem to take comfort here yesterday from the kindness and the gratitude that was shown to him, and to the memory of his motherfrom so many. and he of course is a king in mourning, and it will be a transition for him the same as everyone else, we are seeing history unfolding, as he goes through the process of moving towards through all of those formal moments, as he becomes established

as king charles iii. but, for now, there is very much is a focus for there is very much is a focus for the people here. it is the seat of the people here. it is the seat of the monarchy in london. it is not currently the residence of king charles, although the royal standard is flying at full mast, as it was since a writer yesterday full stop he will be back here later for some of his formal duties, but for now we understand he has remained at his current residence, along with the queen consort. clarence has not very far away. there you can see a lot of preparations made for the anticipated large crowds who are expected here today, and in the days ahead. back to you in the studio. starting on the shop there of buckingham palace, those in london will knowjust down the road is st james's palace, and that is where one of the formal events will be taking place today. ten o'clock this

morning. 0ur diplomatic correspondent james landale is there. a very good morning to you, james. we are all on a learning curve about the procedures about what happens here, because it has been so long since we had these events take place, and today at saint james 's palace where you are on the balcony mind you, this is one of those moments. mind you, this is one of those moments-— mind you, this is one of those moments. . . . ~ . moments. yes, that is right. what we will see today — moments. yes, that is right. what we will see today is _ moments. yes, that is right. what we will see today is the _ moments. yes, that is right. what we will see today is the formal _ moments. yes, that is right. what we will see today is the formal sort - moments. yes, that is right. what we will see today is the formal sort of. will see today is the formal sort of procedural constitutional licenses and details that are sorted out after the extraordinary thing that happens, the fact that the king becomes king automatically when the queen dies. essentially what will happen is the king's most senior advisers, 200 of the most senior officials, a minister, ia diplomats from the ia realms, somejudges, various others who will come here together as what is called the accession council here at st james's

palace. they will formally sort out all the details, they will agree the proclamation made, they will hear various declarations. the king will thenjoin various declarations. the king will then join that meeting, that will become a meeting of his first privy council, his most senior advisers, a body dating back since norman times, and the king will do various procedural things, and the king will do various proceduralthings, orders and the king will do various procedural things, orders in council to allow for the continuity of government and things like that. once that is sorted, that will take about an hour or so and then the proclamation will be made on that balconyjust behind me, the garter king of arms will make this proclamation and essentially what this is is before we had social media, this was a moment when a public official would stand up in front of the people and say, look, the previous monarch has died in this is the identity of the new sovereign. that proclamation will be made here, then it will be made in the city of london and in the coming 2a hours, around the nation. this is the formal moment when people are

told the queen is dead and this is through the new monarch will be. thank you very much. just a reminder that those events are at ten o'clock this morning and full coverage of course on the bbc. king charles iii has given new titles to the duke and duchess of cambridge, william and catherine. they now include the prince and princess of wales. our wales correspondent, hywel griffith, is in cardiff. good morning to you. sun shining over cardiff castle. how do people there feel about their new prince and princess? there are a couple known here in wales, they spent time living here when william worked as a search and rescue helicopter pilot. the speed of the announcement has surprised some people and we know that it is a question which divides people here in wales, whether there should be a prince of wales. it is not a title

which passes automatically, prince charles spent 60 years in a title but some people question whether a modern wales should have someone who lives outside of wales as its prince. in terms of visual response, the first minister traven has said he looks forward to welcoming the prince and princess and deepening the relationship, the welsh conservatives also echoing that. others have said maybe there should be a debate over whether the people of wales want this. we have to go back to the middle ages to see the last nativeborn prince of wales, the rebel prince, these were welshmen who held that title. that is not something that has happened since the middle ages. we know that opinion polls from earlier this year suggest thatjust under half of people in wales think this title should be kept, about a6% about 31% saying they did not want a new

prince of wales and about 20% of people saying they didn't know. as people saying they didn't know. as people wake up to the news this morning and start to get used to this, a huge amount of change. there is fair to say that there is a debate over whether or not wales should have a new prince who doesn't actually live here. that might be something that they may want to look at, prince charles has a residence here in wales and is a patron of lots of little societies. he has been involved with welsh life. is that something that william will want to do? already patron of the welsh rugby union, however catherine is the patron of the english rfq, and william is the president of the english football association. it might make for an interesting time when wales play england in the world cup later this year. who will he support? taste cup later this year. who will he su ort? ~ ~ . cup later this year. who will he su--ort? ~ ~ ,. cup later this year. who will he su--ort?~ ~ ,. , cup later this year. who will he suuort? . ~' ,., , ., support? we will keep an eye on that. support? we will keep an eye on that- that _ support? we will keep an eye on that- that is _ support? we will keep an eye on that. that is something - support? we will keep an eye on that. that is something for - support? we will keep an eye on that. that is something for the i that. that is something for the future. thank you very much. let us turn our attention to the

house of commons. it was packed with mp5 yesterday, dressed in black and sharing their memories of meeting the queen. the atmosphere was unusually hushed and sombre — by parliamentary standards — and some of the stories they told gave poignant insights into the queen's kindness. some even raised a smile. i remember her innocentjoy more than ten years ago after the opening ceremony of the london olympics when i told her that the leader of a friendly middle eastern country seemed actually to believe that she had jumped out of a helicopter... in a pink dress and parachuted into the stadium. i a pink dress and parachuted into the stadium. . a pink dress and parachuted into the stadium. , ., , . . . stadium. i remember one picnic at balmoral which _ stadium. i remember one picnic at balmoral which was _ stadium. i remember one picnic at balmoral which was taking - stadium. i remember one picnic at balmoral which was taking place i stadium. i remember one picnic at | balmoral which was taking place on the estate, the hampers came from the estate, the hampers came from the castle _ the estate, the hampers came from the castle and we all mucked in the food and _ the castle and we all mucked in the food and drink out on the table. i picked _ food and drink out on the table. i picked up — food and drink out on the table. i picked up some cheese, put it on a plate _ picked up some cheese, put it on a plate and _ picked up some cheese, put it on a plate and was transferring it to the table the — plate and was transferring it to the table. the cheese fell on the floor.

celebrating the close interwoven connection between the queen and parliament. we are a constitutional monarchy, the queen was the head of state for 70 years, but we were parliament. and what she did is she supported parliament actively over those decades, but she never interfered and meddled. but it wasn't us a ceremonial relationship with her coming to do the state opening of parliament and signing of our bills stop it was a personal relationship as well, but one of encouragement and empowerment. so she did herjob absolutely to the utmost. part of herjob was to support us to do ourjob as mp5 utmost. part of herjob was to support us to do ourjob as mps in parliament to the utmost. i support us to do ourjob as mps in parliament to the utmost.- support us to do ourjob as mps in parliament to the utmost. i love the thou . ht, parliament to the utmost. i love the thou~ht, if parliament to the utmost. i love the thought. if i — parliament to the utmost. i love the thought. if i may — parliament to the utmost. i love the thought, if i may ask— parliament to the utmost. i love the thought, if i may ask you, _ parliament to the utmost. i love the thought, if i may ask you, and - parliament to the utmost. i love the thought, if i may ask you, and you i thought, if i may ask you, and you can tell me what you wish, tea with the queen. a lot of people are sharing their moments with the queen, and i know you have many over many years, but tea with the queen, how was that? it

many years, but tea with the queen, how was that?— how was that? it was a very small little private _ how was that? it was a very small little private room, _ how was that? it was a very small little private room, and _ how was that? it was a very small little private room, and there - how was that? it was a very small| little private room, and there were just two very ordinary chairs in front of, as everybody says, a little electric fire, but i think as theresa may said, it is the one meeting you can have in politics where you're absolutely sure nobody will leak any information about it briefly to the press. it was just an entirely private meeting, but a very purposeful one, because i was no longer a secretary of state, i was no longer in the cabinet, but i was still an mp, i was still in parliament, i was elected by the people of campbell and pat and i was to get on with myjob, and i think she was very much a everybody has to get on with theirjob in whatever circumstances. really, all mp5 yesterday talked about how she had visited their constituents, i have all met her because she had gone all around the country, and what a very active role she played. but it was

underpinning our democratic system, but never intervening in it. good mornin: , but never intervening in it. good morning, harriet. _ but never intervening in it. good morning, harriet. i— but never intervening in it. good morning, harriet. i know- but never intervening in it. good morning, harriet. i know you - but never intervening in it. good morning, harriet. i know you have forced tirelessly for progression forced tirelessly for progression for women in politics, the feminism as well, and the queen herself, she broken many, many barriers herself as a female, as a princess and as the queen. as a female, as a princess and as the queen-— the queen. really, it is astonishing when ou the queen. really, it is astonishing when you think _ the queen. really, it is astonishing when you think back— the queen. really, it is astonishing when you think back on _ the queen. really, it is astonishing when you think back on it, - the queen. really, it is astonishing when you think back on it, because | when you think back on it, because there we were in 1952, and what people thought was that men should be in charge and women should support them, women were servient. the best thing a woman could do was find herself a husband, get married, have his children and then support him. and where the authority figures and women were subservient. and to think that context that this 25—year—old young married woman with two children step forward to play a leading role in our nation and a leading role in our nation and a leading role in our nation and a leading role for our nation on the

world stage, what extraordinary courage and bravery that must have taken, and the prime minister is that she saw were all twice her age and all men, but you never got any sense that she was deferential to them because she had the weight of her office on her. but women all around the world as well as in this country could see a woman as an authority figure, but she was an absolute trailblazer in that way. she didn't make it all look easy, but she was actually being the monarch as well as having children and then grandchildren, and she was remarkable, it is an overused word, but she was really extraordinary. what was the feeling like in the commons yesterday? touched upon with reflections. there were humourous stories as well as ones tinged with sadness, went there?— stories as well as ones tinged with sadness, went there? well, i think eve bod sadness, went there? well, i think everybody was _ sadness, went there? well, i think everybody was remembering. - sadness, went there? well, i think everybody was remembering. we i sadness, went there? well, i think- everybody was remembering. we were gathered in the wake of the death that had happened just a few hours

earlier, but also, really, for the first time, everybody, it was absolutelyjampacked, everybody absolutely jampacked, everybody dressed in absolutelyjampacked, everybody dressed in black, everybody talking about their own personal experience, and it shows how what an active and interconnected role she played, but she never overstepped the boundaries. she did herjob and hers, she felt obviously we were her parliament, it is her government, hmg, her majesty's government, her job was actually actively support us to get on with ours, and i think she crafted that role. i don't think the previous monarch did that. but at a time when parliament is often denigrated, she never started with those who would undermine parliament and denigrate it. she was always strongly supportive. alert; and denigrate it. she was always strongly supportive. very quickly, eo - le strongly supportive. very quickly, people are _ strongly supportive. very quickly, people are starting _ strongly supportive. very quickly, people are starting to _ strongly supportive. very quickly, people are starting to look- strongly supportive. very quickly, people are starting to look to - strongly supportive. very quickly, people are starting to look to the |

people are starting to look to the future and last night was a very significant moment. it would have seen many important speeches in your time in parliament and elsewhere. king charles, addressing the nation. what are your reflections on what you felt and what you heard? i think it is all anticipation _ you felt and what you heard? i think it is all anticipation now— you felt and what you heard? i think it is all anticipation now as - you felt and what you heard? i think it is all anticipation now as to - you felt and what you heard? i think it is all anticipation now as to how i it is all anticipation now as to how much he is going to do it in the way she did or whether or not he is going to take it forward in a different way. i think everybody is just taking the view that she was just taking the view that she was just a total 100% success. it is a huge footstep for him to step into, but i am sure we willjust be anticipating how he changes the role and makes it his own as they say. but we have got some formalities to do today. the privy council is going to meet insidejames 's palace, we are going to be what is called the accession council, which is a very ancient tradition. we are going to

proclaim the king, and then after we have done that proclamation, as mp5 will go back to the house of commons and we have to swear an oath of allegiance to the new king because we can only do our work as mp5 allegiance to the new king because we can only do our work as mps in a constitutional monarchy. if we have sworn the oath of allegiance. so we will be filing into the house of commons this afternoon and swearing a new oath of allegiance to king charles. do you do that all separately or is it a group moment? it is do you do that all separately or is it a group moment?— do you do that all separately or is it a group moment? it is one by one. you hold the — it a group moment? it is one by one. you hold the bible _ it a group moment? it is one by one. you hold the bible in _ it a group moment? it is one by one. you hold the bible in your _ it a group moment? it is one by one. you hold the bible in your hand - it a group moment? it is one by one. you hold the bible in your hand or i you hold the bible in your hand or other religious text and you affirm, you have to read out your oath, and you have to read out your oath, and you have to swear to an oath of allegiance to the king. you know, we are a constitutional monarchy but the brilliance of it is that we are a constitutional monarchy where we have the monarch, who is hereditary, but we have the mp5 who are elected,

terminology around this, which we all know more about this, after the accession ceremony and then the proclamation itself, that will all unfold during the morning. it is just after half past seven. it looks like things will be drying up it looks like things will be drying up and brightening up this weekend as we lose this area of low pressure, which we have had all week bringing plenty of showers and thunderstorms, so it will be drier for many with a good deal of sunshine around, still a few showers around in the forecast because the area of low pressure affecting parts of eastern england, so it is here where we see most of the cloud and the showers. any mist and fog could slowly clear away, could lift into prague. a few showers — micro into fog. a bit more of a breeze, a northerly breeze, the winds later elsewhere. top temperatures, the high teens in the north, up to 22 degrees across the south. through this evening and overnight, most of

those showers fade away across the east. winds will be late for the sky is clear, quite a cool air mass, that will allow some dense fog patches through central parts of the country. these are town and city values, even lower than that out in the countryside. for part two of the weekend, high pressure continues to bring a lot of fine weather, early mist and fog will be slow to claire in one or two places. further west, a new weather front will bring more rain and cloud to northern ireland, western scotland, that is the far south—west, but a slightly warmer day for many, up to 23 degrees in the south. that area of low pressure clears away, high pressure builds in as we move through the new week, winds moving down from the north means it will be turning a bit cooler. 7:3aam, saturday morning, bbc breakfast. we are looking ahead to the formal proclamation of king charles iii as monarch. the is meeting the accession council at 10am this morning at stjames's

such very personal insights there, and also the archive footage is just delightful, some of those images. the full programme — a tribute to her majesty the queen — is available to watch on bbc iplayer. many members of the queen's family, her children, are still at balmoral castle, where her majesty died on thursday. annita, there have been very public events in london — and more planned today — but inside that castle, a family continues to grieve. good morning to you, good morning everyone. absolutely, first and foremost, this is about a family who have lost a much loved mother, grandmother, great—grandmother, and they are mourning privately, as well as publicly, particularly when you look at king charles. obviously he has prepared for this role for many,

many years, but nonetheless, now that the moment has arrived, you've got to think of an individual who is mourning the loss of his mother, and yet thrust into all the responsibilities of being king, and taking on that role. here at balmoral in the last few minutes, we've seen a couple of dozen stewards arrived. they have been placing some barriers here along the road leading right up to the gates, so when people come, and i expect they have done this because they are expecting huge crowds of people to arrive here today, people will come from the car parks over the balmoral bridge, walk down the road behind me here, up to the gates of balmoral to add to the flowers. since i was here yesterday the number of bouquets has grown. i expect that will continue today. i was in the town of ballater, the nearest town to balmoral, yesterday afternoon, chatting to some of the people, lots of people queueing up for the coach service, and they were saying that would be running today from early

all the way through late into the evening. and just opposite the bus stop, the church in the centre of ballater, the book of condolence, and after the side of the church, grassy area with a photograph of the queen as a focal point for more tributes. so again, i think we will be seeing a really busy scene here today with lots of people coming to pay their respects, and reading the messages on those cards. for the moment, back to you in the studio. thank you very much. it has been referenced many times just how special balmoral was to the queen. she described it as the play she was most happy. our scotland correspondent lorna gordon has been speaking to some of those who got to know her. nestling between the river and the hills, the villages of royal deeside. through her childhood, through her years on the throne, queen elizabeth spent her summers relaxing here, a monarch and also a neighbour. mr; relaxing here, a monarch and also a neiuhbour. y . relaxing here, a monarch and also a neiuhbour. g . ., ,,

her majesty's death was announced. thousands more people are expected to gather today to pay their tributes. let's show you the images this morning on saturday morning. this shot shows you the mall, and i think you are getting a sense probably this morning of some of the preparations, the vehicles that are there, some of the barriers that have been put up. john maguire is there for us this morning, and what we know already in what is to come presumably over the next seven to ten days, so many people wanting to be there, share the moment with one another and share their stories. you are absolutely _ another and share their stories. eri. are absolutely right. buckingham palace is a focal point for the monarchy, and the place, well, one of the places the queen would have called home for the last 70 years or so, so it feels the right place for people to come to to spend a few moments, to reflect, to spend their own personal time really, and think

about what the queen meant to them, what her seven decades of service meant to them. they will have their own reasons for coming here. i will just show you the crowds are really starting to build up again as they did yesterday. people are being asked not to leave flowers here but to take them over to green park, but still these are some of the items that are just at the gates of 7 palace bear. ,, 7 7 at... bee}. engage. beebingbeen. feleee beer; peeerngmn has been bbebieabene feleee beer“; peeerngffcn has been popular, i have bear has been very popular, i have lots of toy bears, bear has been very popular, i have just; of toy bears, bear has been very popular, i have just; of toy look bears, bear has been very popular, i have just; of toy look at bears, bear has been very popular, i have just; of toy look at that |rs, 7 w 7 flake};fh’yar’afngféa’séeé w ” w bouquet of flowers, hydrangeas there. people have gone to amazing effort really, and many of the notes and people have written and cards that people have written have been we grabbed a of strangers are �*friends i is �*to new friends i think it is fair to say. good morning to you. what mo" fer m i m cne.itis z. love you. and the queen has sent cards

as her country fought for its life. a fight princess elizabeth inspired, in uniform and on the airwaves. we children at home are full of cheerfulness and courage. we are trying to do all we can to help our gallant sailors, soldiers and airmen. newsreel: in the broad expanse of the mid-atlantic, _ units of the british navy guard the ocean that is the most vital battle zone of the war. as allied convoys braved german u—boats, princess elizabeth joined hundreds of thousands of young women in uniform — like patricia owtram, a naval code—breaker. she did exactly what _ i would have expected her to do, and did volunteer, and was active, i and, in some ways, equall to the other young women in the services. so, i think we grew up very muchl with the idea that you participate.

you don't sort of watch from the sidelines. - you have a responsibility to defend your country. i but this is also the story of a vision, of a country that represented a civilised sanctuary for survivors of the nazi genocide. i thought it was the best choice of my life. i literally thought i'd arrived in heaven when i first came to england. for auschwitz survivor ivor perl, 13 when he came, the princess symbolised hope. am i right in saying that she represented safety to you? very much so. safety, security, and love. and especially... especially, i was 13 years old, lost everything. so ijust thought of her like a substitute parent.

the struggle for the survival of a free united kingdom saw young men risk their lives, day after day, in bombing raids over germany. flight lieutenant colin bell knew what it was to lose his friends to the war. now 101, he mourns the loss of a queen, and that sense of united wartime purpose she embodied. the queen was a perfect example of duty. she said right at the onset that she was going to devote her life to the service of the nation. that, she saw, as duty. she has gone, after setting a matchless example, and, sadly, we shall never see the like of her again. second subaltern elizabeth windsor, whose life and that of the generation she came from, were shaped by war and its fearsome burdens. fergal keane, bbc news.

well, we can now speak to chief of the defence staff, admiral sir tony radakin, who is at buckingham palace this morning. thank you so much forjoining us this morning. i think so many people would have easily forgotten that the queen was in service and have skills way beyond where you may queen would have today. what was the significance in those in the military, those who do serve, knowing she had had the variance? —— experience. i knowing she had had the variance? -- exnerience-— experience. i think it was very significant _ experience. i think it was very significant that _ experience. i think it was very significant that she _ experience. i think it was very significant that she served, i experience. i think it was very. significant that she served, she serve the nation, she was incredibly keen to do so in the second world war and persuaded herfather keen to do so in the second world war and persuaded her father to allow her to do that. i think it just reflects her commitment to the

nation and it was the fact that she was one of us and we always sought to serve her, and the relationship was based professional and personal. she came from a military family. her father was in the royal navy for she married a naval officer. she had children that served in the armed forces. she had grandchildren are circular british army and the royal air force stop i think it is this combination of professional and personal relationship and hence you see the love and affection not only in the nation, but also very much in her armed forces and now his majesty bothered armed forces. find her armed forces and now his ma'esty bothered armed forcesfi bothered armed forces. and knowing that she understood _ bothered armed forces. and knowing that she understood what _ bothered armed forces. and knowing that she understood what those - bothered armed forces. and knowing that she understood what those who l that she understood what those who served to face, the prospect, the very real prospect of what they face in terms of faith, how is her death being reflected? what impressions are you getting those you are talking to now?— are you getting those you are talking to now? inevitably, it is a mix of emotions. _

talking to now? inevitably, it is a mix of emotions. it _ talking to now? inevitably, it is a mix of emotions. it is _ talking to now? inevitably, it is a mix of emotions. it is sadness, i talking to now? inevitably, it is aj mix of emotions. it is sadness, it is reflection of her service, what she exemplified, that commitment, selflessness. i think it is also the fact that she was so special to us. people would have a visit from the queen weather to that air station, to their regiment, to the ship, and they would see her warmth, her interest in everything that we do, her interest but also extended to the families and friends that we were looking after the whole community, and so this was professional and personal relationship and one that was very special. and you saw little of that with the that an with the platinum jubilee that an opportunity for us to express our gratitude, ourthanks opportunity for us to express our gratitude, our thanks to her majesty and for her service on behalf of the

whole nation and the relationship that she had with her armed forces. it is lovely talking to you this morning. i see you are very proudly wearing your uniform today. i would like to go back to the moment you mentioned, the queen was very young, 18 years old when she joined the auxiliary territorial service, and reading my notes, these are things you probably know very well, her first military appointment, this is 1947, on her 21st birthday, she becomes colonel—in—chief of the balaclava co 5th battalion, the royal regiment of scotland. at 21 years of age. the duty we have talked so much about the responsibilities that she have had over the years from such a young age, including with the military. yes, and as part of that duty, i think what we experienced, particularly in those very early days, was the example that of being

set by her father, king george vi, and that that enabled her as well as her personal experience of serving in uniform, to understand the military and all that entailed, and i also think we have to reflect that she was part of a second world war generation where obviously the military dominated the country while we were at war, and i think those are the anchors in terms of the relationship that we continue to have throughout her reign. a personal, professional, incredible interest in everything that we did, and it is rooted in the strength of that second world war generation, incredible sacrifice, incredible commitment and service to the nation. . . r' commitment and service to the nation. ., ., ,~' i. commitment and service to the nation. ., ., ., ., nation. can i ask you, almost a more ersonal nation. can i ask you, almost a more personal note. _ nation. can i ask you, almost a more personal note, the _ nation. can i ask you, almost a more personal note, the military _ nation. can i ask you, almost a more personal note, the military indeed i personal note, the military indeed like the queen herself, often sort of known for the stoicism, and keeping things on the straight and

narrow. i dare say there have been military leaders, maybe you know them yourself, maybe you are one of them, has encountered the queen at times and it has had an impact. yes. times and it has had an impact. yes, her majesty — times and it has had an impact. yes, her majesty was _ times and it has had an impact. yes, her majesty was very _ times and it has had an impact. 13:3 her majesty was very generous with her time for the armed forces. the extended visits coupled to various units, but it also extended to private audiences that each of the heads of the armed forces had with the sovereign, and my last audience with her majesty was in march, at windsor castle, and people have touched on her ability to put you at ease. this is in an elegant drawing room in windsor castle, you are alone with her majesty and there are three corgis wandering around the room and we reflected on her service back with the second world war, and some of the skills she learned there, particularly on the mechanical side. there, particularly on the mechanicalside. but there, particularly on the mechanical side. but it also goes into this incredible perspective. i

was breathing her in the invasion by russia into ukraine, and that then triggers the ability to have a conversation and to gain her wisdom from somebody that has met nearly all of the russian leaders. she started her reign with stalin and then she has met president putin twice and her ability to reflect and to offer those insights is something thatis to offer those insights is something that is very, very special, and i think you have heard glimpses of what that means some of us who are privileged to have those audiences. it is fascinating what you are saying and we are hearing more from people who have had those moments that you have, very privileged moments. what i also hearfrom that you have, very privileged moments. what i also hear from so many other people is her curiosity. you were telling her things but we know from all the encounters she had that she was always enquiring of other people. it

that she was always enquiring of other people-— other people. it was enquiring, it was curious. _ other people. it was enquiring, it was curious, it _ other people. it was enquiring, it was curious, it is _ other people. it was enquiring, it was curious, it is centred - other people. it was enquiring, it was curious, it is centred to i was curious, it is centred to families — like extended to families and checking that her service men and checking that her service men and servicewomen and their families were being looked after. but it also was... it was very warm. my recollections are of this... the lovely smiles, a gentle sense of humour, sometimes a teasing. if i offer another audience example, when i was the first sailor, you inevitably are slightly anxious. her anxious — that her mother to put you at ease. you have something you want to say. i mentioned i thought i was a 24th first sea lord and she smiled and said, least, you are making me feel old. it is those sort of glimpses and the warmth of the relationship ended extended from those elements to the geopolitical conversations. a remarkable

chief of the defence staff, it is a privilege — chief of the defence staff, it is a privilege having you on our programme this morning and thank you for sharing _ programme this morning and thank you for sharing those insights. love, loyalty and duty — king charles thanks his mother for her unwavering service and makes a solemn vow in his first address as monarch. as the queen herself did with such unswerving devotion, i, too, now solemnly pledge myself throughout the remaining time god grants me, to uphold the constitutional principles at the heart of our nation. and, to my darling mama, as you begin your last, greatjourney to join my dear late papa, i want simply to say this, thank you.

as the throne passes from mother to son — charles iii will be formally proclaimed king at a historic ceremony here at stjames's palace this morning. at buckingham palace, tributes pour in for the queen as people reflect on her reign. she just had that wonderful ability to be personable. she was special, very, very special. privileged to come. it's saturday the 10th of september. we're looking ahead to the formal proclamation of king charles iii as monarch. that will happen at 10:00 this morning at stjames's palace, in london. for the first time in history, the announcement by the accession council will be televised. we'll bring you more reflections from those who knew her majesty queen elizabeth the second, who died

on thursday afternoon — and bring you the latest tributes from across the uk and commonwealth. first, our royal correspondent daniela relph reports on king charles' first full day as monarch — and his emotional tribute to the queen. his first public appearance as king. before official duty, he met the people at buckingham palace. the cameras stayed close. there was an informality, even a kiss from a well—wisher, amidst the condolences and chat. then, a poignant image. king charles iii and camilla queen consort walked into the palace, from where his mother had reigned for seven decades, and from where he will now serve, all ahead of the king's first address to the nation. queen elizabeth's was a life well lived, a promise with destiny kept, and she is mourned most deeply in her passing.

that promise of lifelong service i renew to you all today. my life will of course change, as i take up my new responsibilities. it will no longer be possible for me to give so much of my time and energies to the charities and issues, for which i care so deeply, but i know this important work will go on in the trusted hands of others. he thanked his wife, and both his sons, making william and catherine prince and princess of wales. with catherine beside him, our new prince and princess of wales will, i know, continue to inspire and lead our national conversations, helping to bring the marginal to the centre ground, where vital help can be given. i want also to express my love

for harry and meghan, as they continue to build their lives overseas. he ended with a moving personal tribute. and to my darling mama, as you begin your last greatjourney tojoin my dear late papa, i want simply to say this — thank you. thank you for your love and devotion to our family, and to the family of nations you have served so diligently all these years. may flights of angels sing thee to thy rest. a service of thanksgiving at st paul's cathedral saw senior politicians and members of the public reflect on a long reign.

it ended with the national anthem. now they sang "god save the king". and in a special bbc tribute programme last night, the queen's children spoke personally about their mother. it was a very special relationship, and apart from my three brothers, we are the only people who have that relationship, so that's how i will remember her. today at st james's palace, the new king will be officially proclaimed, when the ceremonial body, the accession council, meets, a moment that will be televised for the first time. we are now in a period of time where the country is both mourning the loss of queen elizabeth ii, alongside welcoming the reign of king charles iii. it is a mix of emotion and formality, an adjustment for everyone. over the weekend, we will get more

details about plans for the coming days, including the date of the state funeral, when the royal family will lead the country's farewell to queen elizabeth ii. daniela relph, bbc news. that formal proclamation ceremony — in which charles iii is formally announced as the new king — takes place at st james's palace at 10:00. our diplomatic correspondent james landale is at the palace. just explain to us, we are on a learning curve about the formalities, the council is and what will play out today?— will play out today? what we are auoin to will play out today? what we are going to see _ will play out today? what we are going to see is — will play out today? what we are going to see is something i will play out today? what we are going to see is something that l going to see is something that doesn't happen very often, only when we have a new moniker. this isn't

the moment when the king becomes king, that happened the moment the queen died, but this is his identity confirmed to people. they will be meeting at about ten o'clock, 200 of the most senior ministers, officials, diplomats from the realms, holders of the great offices of state. they form the accession council, they will discuss the accession to the throne of king charles. they then will move to join the king and that will be a meeting of the privy, the oldest and most senior advisory council to the king. the king will swear various oats, agree on various orders for the council to allow continuity of government. the formal proclamation will be read out from the balcony up there, where the window is open. that will essentially say to the

people, the king is the king and this is his identity. this is frumpy for a time before we had social media and things. in the coming 24 hours, it will be announced to the nation. it is when the accession to the throne becomes public and formal from behind closed doors. {line the throne becomes public and formal from behind closed doors.— from behind closed doors. one of the thins from behind closed doors. one of the things people — from behind closed doors. one of the things people are _ from behind closed doors. one of the things people are very _ from behind closed doors. one of the things people are very mindful- from behind closed doors. one of the things people are very mindful of, i things people are very mindful of, at this time, that sense of duty, which we know the royal family hold so dear, the queen particularly so, but right now, king charles is in mourning for his mother, yet this process happens, doesn't it? it is part of the process we go through at this time when presumably, for him, he is in mourning? james, i am not sure if you can hear me? i am not sure if you can hear me? i am not

sure if you can hear me? i am not sure if we have lost the link to you. sorry, we seem to have lost james landale. just for your information, going through the timeframe this morning so those events at saint james palace take place at ten o'clock and full coverage on the bbc. that will begin at 9.30 and full coverage up until the moment, the accession and the proclamation and all the procedures james is outlining there. let's go to buckingham palace now, where king charles received a warm reception yesterday. joanna gosling is there. joanna, good morning tea. yesterday it was those who lived closest to buckingham could take the opportunity to pay their respects, now many more from around the country will be descending?

absolutely. it is very much a focal point for people who want to come and pay their respects, stand in quiet contemplation when they think about the 70 years of service of her majesty, the queen. thousands came yesterday and already today, you can see hundreds of people arriving. the atmosphere amongst those people is very much one of reflection, one of respect. when the ngireiet " 7 ”w”; siciigireiet 7 huge crowd yesterday to greet the huge crowd that was here, he seemed to take comfort from the contact that real comfort from the contact that he had with the as enormous him in first with the his first direct contact with the people as king. known to his prince of

as he assimilates what his new but as he assimilates what his new role means for tail“ do the role means for him, so do the people terms the as king role means for him, so do the people terms the camilla as king role means for him, so do the people terms the camilla was king role means for him, so do the people terms the camilla was not |g role means for him, so do the people terms the camilla was not seen now. yesterday, camilla was not seen on the pictures as he went along and spoke to members of the crowd, it will seem very much as his moment to directly connect with people. i was told earlier by the people who were working here through the night, that hundreds of thousands of floral tributes were left here yesterday. they have taken those tributes that were left yesterday, just to green park, which isjust behind where were left yesterday, just to green park, which is just behind where we are standing. not far at all but they have created a flower garden and that is where they want people now to leave their floral tributes. because they will keep on coming, as

the people keep on coming. let's just take a look at some of the people who felt compelled to come here and to other places he wanted to bring flowers, he wanted to remember the queen and pay tribute and also welcome king charles iii, graham satchell has this report. look at the streets around buckingham palace, heaving with people, many carrying bunches of flowers and handwritten tributes. the queues stretching as far as the eye could see. it is incredibly emotional, actually. it is like a feeling in your stomach as you are walking around, just, it means so much to people. something about being here, as well, itjust evokes so much emotion. i think she has been absolutely fantastic. really selfless and devoted, so ijust felt i really wanted to come and just be part of this, to be like a thank—you to her, for everything she has done in those 70 years for this country.

she just had that wonderful ability to be personable to people. - precious. very, very special. privileged to come. i'm very sorry. bells ring. st paul's cathedral, and a service of remembrance for her majesty the queen. st paul's was open to the public on a first—come, first—served basis, so there were more queues, almost 2,000 people waiting in line to pay tribute. the queen has been an incredible leader, and has endured so much, and what she took on from such a young age, so soon after losing herfather, is so inspiring, no matter what your views are on any of this, i think that you can, as a human, be inspired by that, and respect that. what did the queen mean to you? constant stability in the country, just that one constant, like boris said, she was timeless, and yeah, she was mother of the country.

for a brief moment, the heavens opened. it couldn't have been more british, a queue for the queen in the rain. for some here, the last two days, a reminder of 1965, and the funeral of winston churchill. it was one of my earliest memories, standing on the balcony of somebody�*s office and watching the mile—long cortege go by. do you feel like we have come full circle? it kind of feels a bit that way, i think probably the queen is the most—loved brit since churchill and that is why we are all here. at all the various places in and around london where people have gathered to remember the queen, the feeling is the same — it is quiet, serious, dignified, and the sentiments expressed are the same. it is a mix of heartfelt respect and a profound sense of loss. gosh, they're so beautiful. windsor castle, the place the queen called home,

and again, more flowers and quiet contemplation. if there has been one constant in our lives in britain, it has been the queen, and i think it isjust her role, her sense of duty was obviously the thing that drove her, so i think she is just an amazing role model for both younger and older generations. it feels strange, because with so many people here, it is quite quiet, it is very quiet, and it is lovely to see everybody coming together to share their respects, really. you know, i was thinking about it yesterday, she was probably eve rybody's second mum. she was just there for everybody really, she's such a nice person. back at buckingham palace, the new monarch, king charles, and the start of a transition, notjust in the transfer of constitutional power, but also in mood. smiles and handshakes. he was very thankful

for people coming out, and he just seemed very pleased to be here, and he appreciated people being here. we are at the end of an era, and as one chapter of history closes, another is opening. graham satchell, bbc news. and that royal standard at full mast over buckingham palace, underlining the start of the carolean era. there is a lot of activity. there are people arriving already, many people, hundreds of people laying flowers and just standing in contemplation. and also, lots and lots of barriers are being erected in the surrounding area as the crowds are anticipated to keep

coming and to keep growing. people of all ages where here yesterday and there will, of course, be people amongst those who are coming have never known, the majority of us have never known, the majority of us have never known, the majority of us have never known anything other than the queen. there were young children here yesterday he will grow up without those memories of the clean and they will, of course, have king charles iii as they move forward. so the king is in mourning, he is grieving in private. he is also very much on public display, because we saw that statement to the nation last night, that very moving address. that was recorded here at buckingham palace yesterday. we do expect him to arrive back later for more of those duties, he will be meeting the prime minister again for another audience and also the

archbishop of canterbury, we are expecting. we will be here throughout the day, but for now, back to you in the studio.- back to you in the studio. thank ou, back to you in the studio. thank you. joanna- — back to you in the studio. thank you, joanna. there _ back to you in the studio. thank you, joanna. there will - back to you in the studio. thank you, joanna. there will be i back to you in the studio. thankj you, joanna. there will be more coverage throughout the day but as tributes were laid buckingham palace, not everyone can get there, of course, so we are giving you an opportunity to pledge your tributes and reflections and memories of the queen. we'll be including these in special commemorative coverage on the bbc news website. you can send a short message — and any pictures you may wish to share to a special email address — yourqueen@bbc.co.uk. maybe you met the queen? maybe you met her on walkabout? the time is coming up to 8.20. mps and peers will gather

in parliament today for a rare saturday session, to continue paying tribute to the queen. yesterday, king charles iii held his first audience with prime minister liz truss. our political correspondent lone wells joins us now. these are not normal times, it is saturday morning and mps will be there. we have seen some moving tributes in the commons and quite a lot of laughter as stories have been told? ., , . ., ., told? that is right. we did have a full da of told? that is right. we did have a full day of tribute _ told? that is right. we did have a full day of tribute yesterday i told? that is right. we did have a full day of tribute yesterday in i told? that is right. we did have a| full day of tribute yesterday in the house of commons and house of lords. also, the first audience between liz truss and king charles iii. these are normally very private conversations but we got a glimpse inside that first meeting yesterday. king charles said he has got to try and keep things going. for him, some of that starts today as he is officially proclaimed king at a ceremony down the road. but politics

is on hold until the 21st of september, as this period of national mourning continues. but behind me, but the houses of parliament will sit today for more tributes to the late clean. yesterday, we saw lots of personal memories shared by mps across the political spectrum about their experiences meeting the queen or her visiting their constituencies. this sombre ceremony was punctuated by moments of humour, particularly from borisjohnson and theresa may, sharing some memories of her humour, her warmth they experienced when they met with her, too. we can expect more of those kind of memories and testimonies being shared today in both the houses of parliament, but also another audience between liz truss and her cabinet and the king later this afternoon. a symbolic moment for the governance of the uk as we have a new monarchy and the new government

in the space of a week, meeting together this afternoon.- in the space of a week, meeting together this afternoon. thank you very much- — one of the 96—gun salutes which took place yesterday — to honour her majesty was in plymouth. our south—west england correspondent jenny kumah is there. it was such an interesting and emotional thing to see yesterday and where you are, it played such a pivotal role in the clean's life? yes, it was in the nearby town of dartmouth when that then princess elizabeth met prince philip who went on to be her husband. this region has a deep connection with the queen, the queen at the royal family have a deep connection with this region. i am have a deep connection with this region. iam here have a deep connection with this region. i am here today at plymouth, at the civic church of saint andrews. a book of condolences was opened and already hundreds of messages have been left and people have been coming here to lay floral

tributes. plymouth is a naval city, it is home to the naval dockyard, the largest in western europe. the queen visited many times, including most recently in 2018. i have been taking a look at how the region has been paying tribute and talking to people about how they are feeling about recent events. guns fire. a naval city paying tribute to queen elizabeth ii. 96 guns were fired from the naval dockyard to mark each year of the late sovereign's life. newsreel: as the royal yacht victoria & albert glides - into the mouth of the river dart, memories must be revived for his majesty. plymouth and devon have a proud royal naval heritage and strong connections with the monarch and her family. as a 13—year—old her majesty visited the britannia royal naval college in dartmouth with herfamily. it was the first time she remembered meeting a young cadet, prince philip. the rest, as they say, is history.

and with the queen's passing, we witnessed further historic moments, a period of national mourning and a new king. throughout her life, her majesty the queen, my beloved mother, was an inspiration. here at valley view care home in plymouth there was much interest in the king's speech. i thought it was very good. very good indeed. good. yeah. convincing. very sad. brings back a lot of memories. i felt very involved with it. i was there with them. and, you know, i had my hands crossed and, you know, it was so i could listen to him talking for hours. do you think he did a good job? i think so, yes.

and his mum would be proud of him. what kind of king do you think he'll make? well, we'll have to wait and see what we. wait and see won't we. i mean, from what he's saying now, he's going to make a good king, but we'lljust have to wait and see what happens. her dedication and devotion, sovereignty never wavered. while many here grieve for her majesty the queen, they look forward to the new reign of king charles iii i'm here with the bishop designate of plymouth. how would you say the death of the queen has impacted the city? it death of the queen has impacted the ci ? . , death of the queen has impacted the ci ? ., , , , ., ., death of the queen has impacted the ci ? city? it has been profound. everyone was expecting _ city? it has been profound. everyone was expecting a _ city? it has been profound. everyone was expecting a day _ city? it has been profound. everyone was expecting a day would _ city? it has been profound. everyone was expecting a day would come, i city? it has been profound. everyone| was expecting a day would come, but no one _ was expecting a day would come, but no one was— was expecting a day would come, but no one was prepared. so many people to come _ no one was prepared. so many people to come and _ no one was prepared. so many people to come and write in the books of condolences, and when death comes, we don't _ condolences, and when death comes, we don't know what to do with ourselves, _ we don't know what to do with ourselves, we don't know how to grieve, _ ourselves, we don't know how to grieve, we — ourselves, we don't know how to grieve, we don't know how to give

particularly across the eastern side of the country as this area of low pressure continues to push into the near continent. but higher pressure will be building in behind it so winds will be turning light and there'll be plenty of sunshine across northern and western areas to begin the day today. across england and wales, some patches of cloud, some mist and fog through the morning and one or two showers as we head into the afternoon, particularly along some eastern counties where there'll be more of a breeze as well blowing in off the north sea, generally a more northerly direction. but further west, the winds will be lighter and it'll feel quite pleasant i think in the sunshine with temperatures in the north around the high teens. england and wales generally 20 to maybe 22 celsius across southern england. and then through this evening and overnight, most of the showers fade away across eastern areas, but we will start to see a return to some dense mist and fog patches again, particularly for england and wales. it'll be a cooler night to come as well under clear skies, those light winds, so temperatures will be lower than the last few nights. these are towns and city values i think out of town. temperatures falling into single digits for most.

into part two of the weekend, we've still got high pressure across much of the country, bringing some fine weather. this complicated area of low pressure with its weather front will be sliding into western areas as the day wears on. so, we start off on a fairly chilly note around, plenty of sunshine, but we will have these mist and fog patches around, which may be slow to clear in one or two places, but a fine afternoon to come for much of the country. but conditions turning cloudier, breezier and wetter, certainly for northern ireland and into western scotland, western parts of wales and the south—west of england later on. top temperatures may be a little bit higher, up to 23 degrees across the south. and then as we move out of sunday into monday, we see our area of high pressure retreating. we will draw up some warm air across southern areas for a while, this area of low pressure will be slowly taking over, certainly across northern and western areas, bringing a band of rain, which will be spreading southwards and eastwards through the day, some heavy bursts perhaps. behind it will be cooler, brighter, one or two showers. but to the south, it'll be sunnier and warmer, top temperatures around 25 degrees. but the mid teens further north. that area of low pressure move

southwards, so a band of rain spreads south across the country, and then high pressure builds in as we move deeper on into the new week. with northerly winds, though, it will tend to turn cooler for all areas. this you're watching bbc breakfast, as we look ahead to the formal proclamation of king charles iii as monarch. he's meeting the accession council at 10 o'clock this morning, at st james's palace — that event will be televised for the first time — and then a public announcement will be made in the city of london. similar declarations will follow in belfast, cardiff and edinburgh tomorrow. we'll also continue to bring you more reflections on the life of her majesty queen elizabeth ii,

outside the gates of balmoral, at buckingham palace, windsor castle, sandringham, and other venues across the uk and commonwealth. king charles made his first formal address as a monarch yesterday and praised his mother's warmth, humour and sense of duty. he said her 96 years amounted to "a life well lived" — and promised to follow her example. as the queen herself did with such unswerving devotion, i too now solemnly pledge myself, throughout the remaining time god grants me, to uphold

the constitutional principles at the heart of our nation. and wherever you may live in the united kingdom or in the realms and territories across the world, and whatever may be your background or beliefs, i shall endeavour to serve you with loyalty, respect and love, as i have throughout my life. my life will, of course, change as i take up my new responsibilities. it will no longer be possible for me to give so much of my time and energies to the charities and issues for which i care so deeply. but i know this important work will go on in the trusted hands of others. this is also a time of change for my family. i count on the loving help of my darling wife camilla. in recognition of her own loyal public service since our marriage 17 years ago, she becomes my queen consort. i know she will bring to the demands of her new role the steadfast devotion to duty on which i have come to rely so much.

as my heir, william now assumes the scottish titles which have meant so much to me. he succeeds me as duke of cornwall and takes on the responsibilities for the duchy of cornwall which i have undertaken for more than five decades. today, i am proud to create him prince of wales, tywysog cymru, the country whose title i've been so greatly privileged to bear during so much of my life and duty. with catherine beside him, our new prince and princess of wales will, i know, continue to inspire and lead our national conversations, bringing the marginal

to the centre ground where vital help can be given. i want also to express my love for harry and meghan as they continue to build their lives overseas. in a little over a week's time, we will come together as a nation, as a commonwealth, and, indeed, a global community, to lay my beloved mother to rest. in our sorrow, let us remember and draw strength from the light of her example. on behalf of all my family, i can only offer the most sincere and heartfelt thanks for your condolences and support. they mean more to me than i can ever possibly express. and to my darling mama, as you begin your last greatjourney

tojoin my dear late papa, i want simply to say this. thank you. thank you for your love and devotion to our family, and to the family of nations you have served so diligently all these years. may flights of angels sing thee to thy rest. crowds who had gathered around buckingham palace had the chance to king charles iii see and the queen

consort. breakfast�*sjohn maguire was among those crowds yesterday and he's back there this morning. john, that area is likely to get very busy later on. there was the moment when the new king arrived and met some of the people. it might some of the events certainly what people in the crowd have told can be quite spontaneous. they were the first people to offer their condolences to the new king. interesting aspects of that speech last night, powerful, emotionaland uplifting and hopeful in many respects. one of the things he said towards the end talking about his mother was a thank you and that is something i've seen so many times on cards and letters placed on the

gates of buckingham palace and people have been asked to put their tributes in green parkjust over the road. —— green park. this family has come today with their three children. you jumped on the train this morning. what time did mumm drag you out of bed?— this morning. what time did mumm drag you out of bed? about half past six. i am drag you out of bed? about half past six- i am so — drag you out of bed? about half past six. i am so tired. _ drag you out of bed? about half past six. i am so tired. why _ drag you out of bed? about half past six. i am so tired. why did _ drag you out of bed? about half past six. i am so tired. why did you i six. i am so tired. why did you auree six. i am so tired. why did you agree to _ six. i am so tired. why did you agree to your— six. i am so tired. why did you agree to your mum _ six. i am so tired. why did you agree to your mum saying - six. i am so tired. why did you i agree to your mum saying should six. i am so tired. why did you - agree to your mum saying should come today? agree to your mum saying should come toda ? , ., ., , ., ,, today? everyone has love the queen for 70 years — today? everyone has love the queen for 70 years that _ today? everyone has love the queen for 70 years that she _ today? everyone has love the queen for 70 years that she was _ today? everyone has love the queen for 70 years that she was queen - today? everyone has love the queen for 70 years that she was queen and i for 70 years that she was queen and it is really emotional that she has passed away now.— it is really emotional that she has passed away now. very well said. why did ou passed away now. very well said. why did you bring — passed away now. very well said. why did you bring the _ passed away now. very well said. why did you bring the family _ passed away now. very well said. why did you bring the family and _ passed away now. very well said. why did you bring the family and why - passed away now. very well said. why did you bring the family and why was i did you bring the family and why was important to come? i did you bring the family and why was important to come?— important to come? i think this is such a huge _ important to come? i think this is such a huge moment _ important to come? i think this is such a huge moment for - important to come? i think this is such a huge moment for the - important to come? i think this is l such a huge moment for the history of our— such a huge moment for the history of our country and with the jubilee earlier_ of our country and with the jubilee earlier this — of our country and with the jubilee earlier this year our children have

there are bouquets of flowers, and i have noticed that all have a very personal note to pay tribute to her majesty. one or two very simple and others go into more detail, heartfelt and much more personal and people really wanted to get those emotions and opinions across. ultimately for them to say thank you to the queen for her years of service. the balcony of buckingham palace above us, one of the most famous buildings in the world. the crowds i am sure will stay here for days to come. people coming for their own reasons but wanting to pay tribute, to be here for this moment in history. i know you have had the chance to speak to multi—generationalfamilies. i think

multi—generational families. i think the multi—generationalfamilies. i think the family spoke to would come down from leeds over night on the courts. —— on the bus. i think people will have seen television images of the last few days and thought i would like to go there. yesterday the crowd is very much londoners, local, travelling to and from work but today we are seeing families travelling from further afield and i was told a family came in from essex on the train and there were other families who decided he wanted to be here for their own reasons and to have a moment to remember for the young children as they go forward with a king in their lives. many of us have only known a queen as the monarch but they will know king

charles for a good deal of their life time and hopefully remember today as a special transition. most football matches across the uk have been cancelled as a mark of respect to the queen. rugby union, test cricket and the golf pga championship are all taking place today, while some horse racing returns tomorrow. players and officials from a wide range of sports have been paying tribute to her majesty, asjoe wilson reports. today, some sport will pause. across england, scotland, wales and northern ireland, football has decided to stop. horse racing, the queen's great passion, will also be postponed in britain. other sports continue with expressions of regret and respect. this was the scene during practice at the italian grand prix. we'll see similar at the cricket test match at the oval, and sport will remember. her majesty the queen...

the queen was there to acknowledge and elevate some of the proudest moments in sport — bobby moore at wembley in 1966, virginia wade at wimbledon in 1977. the queen was a constant as the winners changed. here, ieuan evans receives the five nations rugby union trophy for wales. uniquely, the queen officially opened two olympic games — 1976 in montreal, where her daughter, princess anne, competed for great britain in the equestrian team, and london 2012. good evening, mr bond. good evening, your majesty. herjames bond—themed skydiving arrival was a triumph of choreography and humour, as well as dignity. so close were the queen's sporting associations, it's no surprise that her death has prompted so many sporting reactions. i feel like i have to go down to the funeral because i feel like we owe it to her. we are so lucky that the pair of us have been knighted and just to even have that honour feels

so also incredibly special, and for me now, it does, yeah, i feel like now we have to give back to her and ifeel like we need to go and say our goodbyes. on social media, sir mo farah described meeting the queen as... while david beckham wrote that... and we remember how sport, specifically horse racing, brought the queen joy. when her horse won the gold cup at ascot, it was a moment of celebration which we could all connect with, and racing now halts until sunday. i've been told by people close to her that the racing post would be the first thing that she would read in the morning at breakfast and that she would be regularly in touch with her trainers and her bloodstock agents, and going to the royal stud at sandringham was one of the great pleasures in life.

so we were so lucky as a sport to have her as a supporter and to have her knowledge as well. sporting life is public life. it can unite and inspire people like little else. through the decades of her reign, the queen understood this. she was at the heart of it. joe wilson, bbc news. when the queen was just four, herfather, king george, gave her a pony. the gift sparked a love of horses and horse—racing which never dimmed. the broadcaster clare balding also grew up in a racing family. lots of people have talked about her smile which could light up a room and probably when she was at the races at the smile was never greater than on those occasions. j

races at the smile was never greater than on those occasions.— than on those occasions. i think even more _ than on those occasions. i think even more than _ than on those occasions. i think even more than that _ than on those occasions. i think even more than that being - than on those occasions. i think even more than that being in i than on those occasions. i think| even more than that being in the stables whether in the morning of the evening and meeting the grooms who worked every day, she had an amazing ability to remember notjust characteristics of her horses and generations she had bred. if something did something naughty, she would see the grandmother was just like that or something like that. if anything happened that was difficult or bad news was there to impart her first thought was always for those looking after them. you see her galloping. she loved her highland ponies and was very supportive of the native breeds stop the burmese horse she rode sidesaddle at trooping the colour which was not an easy thing to do. she was very gentle but certain in the movements

that she made. you could hear her talking to horses and she had cameras in the boxes at sandringham so she could see foals being born from the princess royal a great writer herself and also her sole companion there when she was out riding. —— horse rider. there is the sense that when she was at the races the queen was part of the crowd watching something else, she could be a spectator and share the experience, it wasn't everyone's looking at her, she was an observer, not the one being observed. in racing does not always go right so

when you saw herjoy at winning the gold cup with her horse in 2013, that was a really close fort and hard—won race. but it doesn't happen like that, scripts are not written and you do not think here comes the queens horse, we willjust let it win. j queens horse, we will 'ust let it win. ~' ., queens horse, we will 'ust let it win. ~ ., �* ., , queens horse, we will 'ust let it win. ~ ., ., , ., ., win. i know you're a guest and not here to work _ win. i know you're a guest and not here to work but _ win. i know you're a guest and not here to work but can _ win. i know you're a guest and not here to work but can you - win. i know you're a guest and not| here to work but can you introduce the clip and set it up so we see it. coming into the final furlong of the most prestigious race at ascot, the gold cup in 2013. she most prestigious race at ascot, the gold cup in 2013.—

full of formality but while people would be nervous of the queen in racing yards and at races because of something to focus on everybody's talking to the queen because that is something to focus on. royal ascot meant a lot to her because it was founded in 1007 hundred 11 —— ——1711 by queen anne. before covid came she would also ensure she was there. she wanted to stay in the paddock when the royal procession arrived and she wanted to see the runners in the first race. the same at epsom. she

loved derby. she never won it, she was second and third but she loved seeing the horses. she wanted to see them in the paddock beforehand. i remember once seeing her in the royal box at ascot. we were watching the fifth race and she said look at richard hughes with his bottom in the air and richard hughes with his bottom in the airand you richard hughes with his bottom in the air and you have no idea whether he has anything left are not because he has anything left are not because he used to ride in this way. she called him hughsie, called the jockeys by the nicknames. willie carson was always laughing with her

and frankie dettori the same. ryan moore was a little more formal at she loved this and in a parallel world if she had a different lifestyle it would almost certainly be with horses and with racehorses, the thoroughbreds, the finest athletes in the equine world. your father ian and _ athletes in the equine world. your father ian and brother _ athletes in the equine world. your father ian and brother andrew both trained the horses of the queen. the queen would come once a year to look at the horses. can you tell me why sausages are more important than to curtsy to the queen? after theresa

may told a story about the cheese yesterday, i had a similar experience with the sausage and it shot across the table and the queen grabbed it and raised an eyebrow. richard hammond said that she loved coming to stables because it was the one place that didn't smell of fresh paint, it smelled of horses and life carries on and i think riesing wants to pay respect but understand appeal keeps turning and basting starts tomorrow and at doncaster the st leger. i think that horse racing was to pay respect. the queen won the st leger with a horse called

dunfermline. yesterday, there was a line ofjockeys all wearing her colours. in a very heartfelt way of saying thank you for everything you did for racing, everything invested in terms of time and commitment and knowledge but also we understand how much you loved it and we want to show our love back. if there was something else synonymous with the queen, it would be her corgis. i have heard quite funny anecdotes from people, politicians, who have found themselves alone in a room with the corgis. she was a dog lover with the corgis. she was a dog [over as well. it with the corgis. she was a dog lover as well. . , , ., , as well. it amuses me greatly that the pembroke _ as well. it amuses me greatly that the pembroke corgi _ as well. it amuses me greatly that the pembroke corgi is _ as well. it amuses me greatly that the pembroke corgi is the - as well. it amuses me greatly that the pembroke corgi is the dog i as well. it amuses me greatly that the pembroke corgi is the dog of l the pembroke corgi is the dog of choice and part of the queens life are so many years but the scene

my nephew first met her when he was about five or six and she had come to see the horses he had been building up and his parents had him bow and behave and he looked at her and said, i don't understand, where is your crown? she said i do not wear it all the time. she loves things —— she had a love for things that had gone slightly wrong and in a world where everyone is trying to make things perfect the queen genuinely understood in the world does not go like clockwork and she liked the little mistakes that might be made of the behavioural quirks that animals have always had. it is that animals have always had. it is been lovely _ that animals have always had. it is been lovely talking to you this morning and thank you very much for sharing those stories with us. let's see how the weather is looking.

stav has the forecast. hello there. good morning to you. things this weekend are looking a lot quieter weatherwise. we've lost this area of low pressure, which has been with us all week, bringing plenty of showers and thunderstorms. so it is drier this weekend with some sunny spells around. there'll still be a few showers knocking around, particularly across the eastern side of the country as this area of low pressure continues to push into the near continent. but higher pressure will be building in behind it so winds will be turning light and there'll be plenty of sunshine across northern and western areas to begin the day today. across england and wales, some patches of cloud, some mist and fog through the morning and one or two showers as we head into the afternoon, particularly along some eastern counties where there'll be more of a breeze as well blowing in off the north sea, generally a more northerly direction. but further west, the winds will be lighter and it'll feel quite pleasant, i think, in the sunshine with temperatures in the north around the high teens. england and wales generally 20 to maybe 22 celsius across southern

england. and then through this evening and overnight, most of the showers fade away across eastern areas, but we will start to see a return to some dense mist and fog patches again, particularly for england and wales. it'll be a cooler night to come as well under clear skies, those light winds, so temperatures will be lower than the last few nights. these are towns and city values. i think out of town temperatures falling into single digits for most. into part two of the weekend, we've still got high pressure across much of the country, bringing some fine weather. this complicated area of low pressure with its weather front will be sliding into western areas as the day wears on. so, we start off on a fairly chilly note around, plenty of sunshine, but we will have these mist and fog patches around, which may be slow to clear in one or two places, but a fine afternoon to come for much of the country. but conditions turning cloudier, breezier and wetter, certainly for northern ireland and into western scotland, western parts of wales and the south—west of england later on. top temperatures may be a little bit higher, up to 23 degrees across the south.

and then as we move out of sunday into monday, we see our area of high pressure retreating. we will draw up some warm air across southern areas for a while, this area of low pressure will be slowly taking over, certainly across northern and western areas, bringing a band of rain, which will be spreading southwards and eastwards through the day, some heavy bursts perhaps. behind it will be cooler, brighter, one or two showers. but to the south, it'll be sunnier and warmer, top temperatures around 25 degrees. but the mid teens further north. that area of low pressure move southwards, so a band of rain spreads south across the country, and then high pressure builds in as we move deeper on into the new week. with northerly winds, though, it will tend to turn cooler for all areas. good morning welcome to breakfast with naga munchetty and charlie stayt. our headlines today: love, loyalty and duty — king charles thanks his mother for her unwavering service and makes a solemn vow in his first address as monarch. as the queen herself did with such unswerving devotion, i, too, now

and from where he will now serve, all ahead of the king's first address to the nation. queen elizabeth's was a life well lived, a promise with destiny kept, and she is mourned most deeply in her passing. that promise of lifelong service i renew to you all today. my life will of course change, as i take up my new responsibilities. it will no longer be possible for me to give so much of my time and energies to the charities and issues, for which i care so deeply, but i know this important work will go on in the trusted hands of others. he thanked his wife, and both his sons, making william and catherine prince and princess of wales. with catherine beside him, our new prince and princess of wales

will, i know, continue to inspire and lead our national conversations, helping to bring the marginal to the centre ground, where vital help can be given. i want also to express my love for harry and meghan, as they continue to build their lives overseas. he ended with a moving personal tribute. and to my darling mama, as you begin your last greatjourney tojoin my dear late papa, i want simply to say this — thank you. thank you for your love and devotion to our family, and to the family of nations you have served so diligently all these years.

may flights of angels sing thee to thy rest. a service of thanksgiving at st paul's cathedral saw senior politicians and members of the public reflect on a long reign. it ended with the national anthem. now they sang "god save the king". and in a special bbc tribute programme last night, the queen's children spoke personally about their mother. it was a very special relationship, and apart from my three brothers, we are the only people who have that relationship, so that's how i will remember her. today at st james's palace, the new king will be officially proclaimed, when the ceremonial body, the accession council, meets, a moment that will be

televised for the first time. we are now in a period of time where the country is both mourning the loss of queen elizabeth ii, alongside welcoming the reign of king charles iii. it is a mix of emotion and formality, an adjustment for everyone. over the weekend, we will get more details about plans for the coming days, including the date of the state funeral, when the royal family will lead the country's farewell to queen elizabeth ii. daniela relph, bbc news. that formal proclamation ceremony — in which charles iii is formally announced as the new king — takes place at st james's palace at 10:00. our diplomatic correspondent james landale is at the palace. if anyone knows james, it is you. it

will be televised and for most of us in the uk, except those from a certain generation, will have no idea of what is involved? that is true, we idea of what is involved? that is true. we have — idea of what is involved? that is true, we have never— idea of what is involved? that is true, we have never seen i idea of what is involved? that is true, we have never seen this . true, we have never seen this before, it has never been exposed to the public eye. it happens rarely, it is the ceremonial formalities that have to happen when a moniker becomes a new monarch. when the old monarch dies, the new one takes over automatically. this is where the most senior politicians, officials, diplomats and judges, the prime minister hasjust diplomats and judges, the prime minister has just arrived with the cabinet secretary. there have been politicians from the past, nick clegg, the former deputy prime minister, lord mandelson. basically, the cream of the great and the good, the cream of the great and the good, the establishment are here to hear the establishment are here to hear the former declaration and proclamations on those things that have to happen after a new monarch accede to the throne. they will be

meeting in that building behind me very shortly. various procedures, orders and council and technical pass to allow for the continuity of government. once they have had a meeting with the king, they will make his own oath, there will be a formal declaration from the balcony from the garter king of arms, he wears a very colourful top and he will declare that notjust the queen is dead, but also the identity of the new king. in times past, when we didn't have social media, that mattered because this is the moment when the identity of the new monarch was confirmed to people. this proclamation will be repeated in the city of london and around the nations in the coming hours. it nations in the coming hours. it sounds fabulous, thank you for pointing that picture from the costumes, to the ceremony. we will be bringing you that live. i think

bouquets, candles were lit, teddies were left, photographs were left from moments when they met her majesty the queen. it is thought around one in three people in this country have met or seen the queen. that is very much what is driving so many to want to come here and pay their respects. we are seeing pictures from yesterday when those floral tributes were being laid pictures from yesterday when those floral tributes were being [aid at gates has been established is because what has been established is a flower garden in green park, and a at garden and it is incredibly flower garden and it is incredibly moving. you can see the clusters of flowers and they are fast growing. as you walk there, around the trees there are flowers, people are walking along in quiet contemplation mostly, there is very little chatter. it is not sombre, it feels

respectful, it feels like the moments when people want to connect with this moment of history and reflect back to say thank you. those are the words you see again and again on those floral tributes, simply thank you, echoing what king charles iii said in his address to the nation last night, when he said amongst all of those beautiful thoughts he shared of his mother, he said quite simply, he wanted to say thank you. this is where people can come and do that. the king will be back here later on for more of those formal duties. but now, back to the studio. , ., ., ~ more and more people will be gathering from around the uk, making the special journey to gathering from around the uk, making the specialjourney to pay gathering from around the uk, making the special journey to pay their tributes. breakfast�*sjohn maguire has been among the crowds at buckingham palace this morning.

going on, different ways of marking the death of the queen. we have been looking at how york has been marking the moment. in york, everything is the same... it has not been a normal day today. ..but everything felt different. i just think she has been stable in an unstable world, and it gets more unstable by the week. i was saying with my friend at lunch, it just feels kind of weird. i don't think it has sunk in yet, to be quite honest. _ i don't think it has. it hasjust been a bit surreal, really. she is somebody that has been there my entire life, and it just seems very odd that she isn't any more, i suppose. bells ring. bells rang out, notjust here in york, but also in dartmouth...

..in norwich... ..in bolton... and the bells have been ringing a lot during the day all over the city, and everybody's upset. just burst into tears, really. sort of crying into our wine, but really upsetting really, we were really tearful. you'ave had a cry? yeah, i don't mind admitting it, and i will have more cries until it's all over. almost 3,000 people came to york minster to give thanks yesterday. that's right, yes. just to express their sympathy, and the feelings of how beautiful and what a lovely person the queen was, and what she meant to us. there will be a day when isabella probably asks you about the queen. yeah, probably learns about her in school. what will you tell her?

just that she's been a big part of everyone 's life. _ like the nation's grandmother. yeah, i think so. there is grief, but gratitude, too. i think she was a pretty special person, i really do. so sad she's gone. and two days ago, she was still working and swore in the new prime minister. i mean, really! you just think she was an awesome woman? oh, she was. she was fabulous. there were gun salutes here in york. also in belfast. in edinburgh. in cardiff. and in london. and as the day started to close across the country, people gathered to hear their new king addressed the nation. i speak to you today with feelings

of profound sorrow... it feels positive, but it feels really strange to say "the king", "god save the king", and it just feels weird. all my life, i've said, "god save the queen" and not even thought about it. the fact that everyone has welcomed charles today, i shaking his hand and talking to him. the more than 70 years in which my mother... actually, the mama and papa bit at the end, and itjust makes you think he just lost his mum yesterday. yeah, the new king, big boots to fill, but yes. i this was a broadcast that marks the end of an era, a new chapter in the life of the monarchy, and in the hearts of the nation. long live the king. long live the kinu. among the first wave of people who went to buckingham palace on thursday was the composer and theatre impresario lord andrew lloyd webber.

since the death was announced of her majesty the queen late on thursday afternoon. queen elizabeth ii, the country's longest reigning monarch, a constant presence in the lives of the people of this nation. her�*s was a life marked with selfless duty and dedication. the focus until now has been at balmoral where she passed away, and at buckingham palace where huge crowds have been gathering. but today the focus changes to st james's palace. the palace has been the residence for kings and queens of england for over 300 years. and it was the official residence of the sovereign until the reign of queen victoria when buckingham palace became
