because the queen died in balmoral and set in train a whole sequence of events in scotland that wouldn't have happened had she passed away in london. and so its capital city is readying itself, as the queen's coffin is brought here and attenborough becomes the centre of events for the next few days. on monday, the king willjoin the procession as the coffin is brought along the royal mile to st giles cathedral, where the queen rely at rest. �* , ,., , cathedral, where the queen rely at rest.�* , , cathedral, where the queen rely at rest.�* , ., ~',, ., rest. anybody can talk about faith, but to live it _ rest. anybody can talk about faith, but to live it is _ rest. anybody can talk about faith, but to live it is what _ rest. anybody can talk about faith, but to live it is what makes - rest. anybody can talk about faith, but to live it is what makes a - but to live it is what makes a difference to people, and i think she lived it. difference to people, and i think she lived it— difference to people, and i think she lived it. reverend liz henderson is one of the — she lived it. reverend liz henderson is one of the royal _ she lived it. reverend liz henderson is one of the royal chaplains, - she lived it. reverend liz henderson is one of the royal chaplains, and i is one of the royal chaplains, and is one of the royal chaplains, and is preparing for the service of prayer and reflection to be held at the cathedral.— prayer and reflection to be held at the cathedral. ~ , ., ., ., the cathedral. when you look around edinbur: h, the cathedral. when you look around edinburgh. you _ the cathedral. when you look around edinburgh, you can _ the cathedral. when you look around edinburgh, you can see _ the cathedral. when you look around edinburgh, you can see that - edinburgh, you can see that building, can't you? the place is getting busier and busier, there are more people gathering particularly in this part of the old town, and so the focus is very much on st giles. it has particular significance for

judith wasjust saying, on the royal mile, preparing. as judith was just saying, ceremonies that we will see in the next couple of days. the coffin of queen elizabeth ii will be brought here to the palace of holyrood house this afternoon from balmoral, and then tomorrow afternoon will be taken from the palace here up the royal mile in a procession to st giles cathedral. so that is why these rehearsals that you are seeing at the moment, these pictures of rehearsals overnight, are taking place minute by minute, to block out and choreograph there is a determination here, among everybody, the people of the city, those involved in the ceremonials, to get everything completely perfect. well, our correspondent sarah campbell is at balmoral castle for us this morning, where the queen

will leave a little bit later today, a place that she loved so much. sarah, we have seen the crowds gathering out of the gates over the last couple of days. one can only imagine the numbers that we will see today? imagine the numbers that we will see toda ? , ., ., i. today? yes, good morning to you. this is such _ today? yes, good morning to you. this is such a _ today? yes, good morning to you. this is such a beautiful _ today? yes, good morning to you. this is such a beautiful part i today? yes, good morning to you. this is such a beautiful part of- today? yes, good morning to you. this is such a beautiful part of the| this is such a beautiful part of the world, and it seems in contrast to some of the pictures i have seen from elsewhere of rockingham palace other royal residencies, over the past three days there has been such an air of tranquillity here, such piece here, and the only sound i can really hear is the sound of the river dee, just a hundred metres or so from where i am, and it is not difficult at all to see why the queen loved it here so much. it is beautiful, the glans, the scenery, the 50,000 acre estate that she was

able to wander around, to be with herfamily and of able to wander around, to be with her family and of course her husband, prince philip. —— the glens. she spent so many long, happy summer is here over her life, and yesterday, herfamily summer is here over her life, and yesterday, her family have summer is here over her life, and yesterday, herfamily have been gathering here over the last three days since her death on thursday stop they left through the gates of balmoral, they made the short journey to critic kirk which is nearby here for a private service. —— crathie kirk. and that if their vehicles, walked along and shook hands very briefly with the crowds who came to lead tributes for their mother and grandmother, and they spend some time here looking at those tributes, reading some of those tributes, reading some of those are very heartfelt messages, of course, you will remember that the queen was seen as part of the community here, so many of those

messages are very personal, from people who matter, he would have bumped into her in the local shops, are really moving moment, you can see it on their faces, you are really moving moment, you can see it on theirfaces, you can are really moving moment, you can see it on their faces, you can see that members of the royal family were comforting each other. as they went back into balmoral they turned around, gave the crowd a wave, and the crowd waved back and applauded. it was a real moment of the royal family acknowledging and giving thanks to the people coming to see them and the crowd acknowledging back that they were all experiencing the sense of loss of the queen. if i just take you through what we are expecting today, we know that since thursday the queen has lain in and oak coffin in the ballroom here at balmoral, that coffin has been adorned with the royal standard of scotland and a wreath of flowers. the time it has been he has been important, obviously for the family to pay their respects, but also for

the members of her loyal staff, many of whom have worked with the queen for years and years and really devoted their lives to her. so they have been able to have some quiet time here with her at balmoral, and at ten o'clock, six gamekeepers will take the coffin to a waiting hearse and it will leave through those gates, and i think, john, that for many of us, myself included, the moments over the last three days when it has felt slightly surreal, has this really happened? i think the many people that reality will really be made clear when they see that first picture of the coffin leaving the gates, as she starts that long journey, thirsty attenborough and then finally to her final resting place at windsor. —— firstly to edinburgh. final resting place at windsor. -- firstly to edinburgh.— firstly to edinburgh. thank you, sarah. i think— firstly to edinburgh. thank you, sarah. i think it— firstly to edinburgh. thank you, sarah. i think it is— firstly to edinburgh. thank you, sarah. i think it is thus - firstly to edinburgh. thank you, sarah. i think it is thus sight i sarah. i think it is thus sight settlement people confront and accept what has happened, and i

take a moment here, the flowers have been taken away, so the floral tributes, candles, children's tributes, candles, child ren's drawings tributes, candles, children's drawings of her majesty, queen elizabeth ii, now being moved to a nearby park. as you can see, the stage is now set for another day, another moment for people to come here and to remember and to spend some time. our correspondence tim muffett has been speaking to people about how the death of the queen has affected them. step—by—step, we are already adjusting to life in a new era. i5 adjusting to life in a new era. i3 just a very strange, solemn time, losing someone that has been there all of your life.— all of your life. suffolk cathedral in london- _ all of your life. suffolk cathedral in london- -- — all of your life. suffolk cathedral in london. -- southwark. i all of your life. suffolk cathedran in london. -- southwark. rarely all of your life. suffolk cathedral i in london. -- southwark. rarely has in london. —— southwark. rarely has cueing, that mundane, archetypal

bbc news. tim the stories of people who travel to london, to buckingham palace, to spend some time here, and i don't know if you will be able to make a just behind me there is a little bit of noise going on at the moment as they rearrange the barriers here to basically change the layout of how people can come and spend their time here at buckingham palace, should they choose to do so today. of course many, many people expected here today, sunday, to come and take a moment at buckingham palace, lay some flowers was as we mentioned, the flowers are being moved away to a nearby park at the moment but many more people expected to be here in london today, and our diplomatic correspondent paul adams is at clarence house this morning with a new king is preparing for events. what is on the agenda for the new king today?— what is on the agenda for the new kin: toda ? ., �*, king today? good morning. the king's third da as

several references in speeches already to his fervent desire to uphold his mother's legacy, when it comes to the commonwealth. queen elizabeth very much associated with building the reputation of the commonwealth, binding these countries all across the world. king charles has said he is determined to continue that legacy. in 2018, commonwealth leaders agreed that he would indeed continue to be the head of the commonwealth. he may face, as king, discussions and some of those countries about their future relationship with him and with the united kingdom. last year, barbados decided to become a republic. he may well have those conversations again in the future, but not today. today is all about telling those commonwealth leaders that he intends to lead the commonwealth as fervently, as successfully, as his mother did. fervently, as successfully, as his mother did-— fervently, as successfully, as his mother did. thank you very much indeed. of course, it's a significant week for political leaders, too,

perhaps none more so than for the new prime minister liz truss, who will accompany the king on his upcoming tour of the uk. 0ur political correspondent ione wells is in westminster for us this morning. ione, it's been quite a first week in office for liz truss, hasn't it? that's right, this is a week that has felt like a lifetime. just on monday we were at the queen elizabeth ii centre here in westminster where liz truss found out she was going to be the next leader of the conservative party. 0n leader of the conservative party. on tuesday, she was up visiting the queen in balmoral, where she was officially invited to form a government and officially became the new prime minister, one of the last acts of duty that the queen performed. 0n acts of duty that the queen performed. on wednesday, we had a new government appointed, and on thursday i was in the house of commons chamberjust behind the watching liz truss outline her first big policy announcement as prime minister, that plan to cap energy bills at £2500 a year, when suddenly the news began to ripple through the chamber of mps that there were

serious concerns about the queen's health, and in that moment, the sort of political divisions that had been thrashing out across the chamber suddenly subsided really, as everybody�*s focus turned to paying their well wishes to the queen and herfamily. and by that their well wishes to the queen and her family. and by that evening, when we received the tragic news of the queen's death, the governance of the queen's death, the governance of the uk changed instantly. we went from having her majesty's government to his majesty's government, and in the subsequent couple of days, the new prime minister, her government, leaders of the opposition parties have met with the new king in audiences with him and what would normally be very private conversations, but they have done so under the spotlight on the watch of the whole world really watching them. that will continue into next week as well after king charles addresses mps on monday he begins his tour of the uk, which liz truss will accompany him on, visiting l ——

edinburgh, belfast and cardiff. liz truss won't play a particularly significant role on these visits, she will be mostly attending church services, but they will carry a symbolic as well as perhaps a political value, as the new head of state and the new head of government introduce themselves to the whole of the united kingdom. this introduce themselves to the whole of the united kingdom.— the united kingdom. as you mentioned, _ the united kingdom. as you mentioned, it _ the united kingdom. as you mentioned, it was - the united kingdom. as you i mentioned, it was interesting, wasn't it, that those first conversations were all recorded, it was another first, wasn't it? we were seeing a really quite private moment played out very publicly. that's right. this is the first time we have had television cameras document moments like this, and as you say, that first meeting between king charles and liz truss, we had a little glimpse inside that for the first time. as i say, these are normally incredibly private conversations. former prime ministers have spoken in the past about the kind of comfort that that privity has provided, with sirjohn major telling us just the other day for example that only the queen's corgis were ever upriver to the kind

of conversations that he had with the queen. —— were ever privy. in that moment between king charles and liz truss, we saw king charles turn to hand say he has just got to try and keep things going, and i think thatis and keep things going, and i think that is the sentiment that both of them will be going around next week. when king charles was prince of wales, he was a passionate campaignerfor the wales, he was a passionate campaigner for the environment, championing issues like climate change and river pollution before they were even fashionable. 0ur climate editorjustin rowlatt has been looking at how his deeply held environmental beliefs will effect his role as monarch. it is 53 years since prince charles formally became prince of wales at a ceremony in caernarvon castle in 1969. i, ceremony in caernarvon castle in 1969. ., , . ., , 1969. i, charles, prince of wales, to become _

pressure continuing to dominate but there will be some rain pushing into western areas later on, all courtesy of this new area of low pressure. some of the rain will be quite heavy for a time across northern ireland into this evening but high—pressure holds on across much of the country. late wins, quite a chilly start to the day, some early mist and fog which will tend to lift and break in the maturity quite a bit of sunshine around, just a slim chance of an isolated light shower. further west, it starts to turn claudia, breezy and much wetter, certainly for northern ireland. temperatures around 21 degrees in northern scotland with the sunshine, up to 23 degrees across the south—east, but it turns very much wetter across northern ireland, then into scotland, northern england, northern and western wales this and overnight. we could have some rumbles of thunder with that rain and behind some blustery showers pushing to the far north—west of scotland, dry and quite mild and muqqy scotland, dry and quite mild and muggy across the south. for monday then, we have a 3—way split, central areas will see that weather front, rather damp with outbreaks of rain. to the north of it, cooler, sunshine

and some blustery showers in the north—west of scotland, but southern britain will be dryer with some sunshine and feeling quite warm, up to 25 degrees, maybe the odd heavy shower that pressure in the north. that fresh air does spread southwards as we move into tuesday. may be a few showers. then high pressure builds into the west, so it will be largely settled into the latter part of the week but it will be turning cooler. good morning. you are watching bbc breakfast. i am life this morning at the palace of holyrood house here in edinburgh and this is where the queen's coffin will arrive later today from her beloved balmoral estate. there is a sense of calm here, really. just a few minutes before sunrise on the sunday morning. a sense of expectation, too, because this city is going to play a crucial role in the next couple of days, in the ceremonial side of the preparations before the state funeral. the queen will lie in

state funeral. the queen will lie in state here for four days before her funeral in westminster abbey on monday, september19. funeral in westminster abbey on monday, september 19. a diplomatic correspondentjames monday, september 19. a diplomatic correspondent james landale has taken a look at what correspondentjames landale has taken a look at what we correspondent james landale has taken a look at what we can expect in the days ahead. at about ten o'clock, six of the queen's gamekeepers will carry the coffin to a hearse that will drive slowly south, taking six hours to reach the palace of holyrood house in edinburgh. the following afternoon, just after 2:30 p.m., the coffin will travel in military procession along the royal mile to st giles cathedral, with the king and other members of the royal family following on foot. there, after a service involving people from all parts of scottish society, the queen's body will lie in rest for 2h hours to allow the public to pay their respects. there will be a continuous vigil held by the royal company of archers, and just after 7pm, by the king himself. 0n

company of archers, and just after 7pm, by the king himself. on tuesday afternoon, the coffin, accompanied by the princess royal, will be flown to northolt airport in london and taken onto buckingham palace. from there, on wednesday afternoon, the queen's often believe the palace, conveyed up the mall by a gun carriage. the king and members of the royal family walking slowly and silently behind, with no music adjust the tolling of big ben. the procession well and at whitehall, where the archbishop of canterbury will conduct a short service. in this ancient building the queen will lie in state four full days, her coffin mounted on a raised platform known as a kata falk, with many thousands expected to file past the coffin. —— catafalque. then come on bank holiday monday morning, the queen's often believe westminster hall and be taken in a grand military procession to westminster abbey. members of the royal family

are expected again to follow on foot. at 11 o'clock, the full state funeral will begin at the abbey, where foreign statesman, european royal families where foreign statesman, european royalfamilies and where foreign statesman, european royal families and other dignitaries willjoin the public in honouring the life of a queen who will be laid to rest later at st. george's chapel, windsor. james landale, bbc news. before the queen's often is taken to london, it will be brought here to holyrood house, her official residence here in scotland, from balmoral. you can see that at the moment the gates of the palace, high security, security guards and police in attendance, making sure the whole area is safe and sealed, but it is not locked down, barriers have gone up not locked down, barriers have gone up to hold the crowds that are expect later today as the coffin arrives here, and then tomorrow afternoon, when the company is taken

by procession from the palace up the royal mile to the cathedral of st giles, just about a quarter of a mile up the royal mile. these pictures are rehearsals for the ceremony, which have taken place just in the last hour or so. the military have an out on the streets of edinburgh right through the night, practising this moment. a moment the queen herself has been involved in, in the planning of. she was well aware of what was going to happen, at every stage of these proceedings, and what would happen if she passed away, as indeed she did, here in scotland. so all of this follows a set procedure, a set choreography. but here in scotland today, we will see two proclamations in edinburgh, involving trumpet ears and civic dignitaries and the

military, but of course also the public. thousands of members of the public expected to turn out and see these scenes, these rehearsals, when they are for real later today and tomorrow, and of course, this being edinburgh, you walk around these streets and you hear so many foreign accents and languages, there were already so many visitors here, always so many tourists here, and they are now caught up in what will be an extraordinary event over the next couple of days. speaking to people on the streets last night and this morning, so many of them were intent on coming here today and tomorrow to witness this moment in our history. but from scotland in the next couple of days, the attention will turn to london, to buckingham palace, and we can now cross to sally, who is there. sally? thanks, jon.

you join me as things are changing ever so slightly at buckingham palace. the first few people have started to arrive and spend a little bit of time outside the gates here, and what is happening is that more spaceis and what is happening is that more space is being made many thousands of people who are expected to come here today, so there is now a larger space in front of the palace of people to bring their tributes, which they have been doing over the last several days since the queen's death was announced on thursday, yesterday, in a surprise show of unity, the new prince and princess of wales and the duke and duchess of sussex appeared together to greet well—wishers and look at the floral tributes outside windsor castle. daniella ralph has this report. nobody had seen this coming. after the fallout and friction, it was unexpected and unannounced. cheering. walking together through the cambridge gates of windsor castle, the new prince and princess of wales and the duke and duchess of sussex. it was a family reunited in grief.

there were a few words exchanged as they looked at the flowers and tributes left to honour the queen. all eyes were on them. the brothers have barely spoken to each other in two years, but today, something clearly shifted. then, to the crowds. harry and meghan down one side of windsor�*s long walk, chatting, receiving flowers and condolences. 0n the other side were william and catherine, doing much the same, particularly with families and children who had come out to remember the queen. it's lovely to come together, isn't it, for their nan, but they love their nana very much obviously. a time of crisis, we need to be together. no family likes any conflict, i we don't know what's gone on, but it's great to see them together, and it's good for the country- as a whole. earlier, william prince of wales issued a moving personal statement about his grandmother, saying...

the fractured relationship between william and harry has showed few signs of healing. after the funeral of their grandfather the duke of edinburgh, there was hope this chat would lead to a reconciliation. there was a similar hope when the brothers came together to unveil a statue of their mother, but the hurt was deep on both sides and neither could find a peace. today was an extraordinary moment of solidarity. perhaps driven by the public outpouring of love for their grandmother and the weight of responsibility their father now bears. as they walked back, there was a joint goodbye. thank you so much, thank you. cheering. and then the royal couples left together, in the same car. who knows if this is a lasting reconciliation? but today, the loss of the queen has gone some way to mending a damaging family rift. daniela relph, bbc news.

so those were the scenes yesterday evening in windsor. the crowd that you have seen in windsor have been seen up and down the uk, so many sharing their memories of the queen and what she meant to them. john macguire has been meeting some of them over the last couple of days. john, i know you are not farfrom where i am now. what is the mood like and what is everybody saying there this morning?— like and what is everybody saying there this morning? good morning. as ou sa , there this morning? good morning. as you say. our— there this morning? good morning. as you say. our third _ there this morning? good morning. as you say, our third day _ there this morning? good morning. as you say, our third day here _ there this morning? good morning. as you say, our third day here in - there this morning? good morning. as you say, our third day here in front i you say, our third day here in front of buckingham palace, which has been one of those focal points, focal points right across the uk, of course, for people wanting to lay floral tributes, lay cards, you are just over green park behind us, what is happening at buckingham palace, the system started yesterday come to people turning up at floral tributes are being asked to take them to green park which isjust are being asked to take them to green park which is just over there, and i must say there is now an

contemplate very early in the morning, and as far as i am concerned, the queen in particular and the royal family in general, they encompass all the values i believe in, all the british values which brought me here, the continuity, history, culture, and without it i do not think i could have lived in a place, for me, the greatest place to live is the uk, to be able to share the same values with other people, with fellow citizens. for me it was a very important to come down here this morning as well.— important to come down here this morning as well. important to come down here this mornin: as well. �* , , ., ,, morning as well. because perhaps we, the british, take _ morning as well. because perhaps we, the british, take the _ morning as well. because perhaps we, the british, take the royal— morning as well. because perhaps we, the british, take the royal family - the british, take the royal family for granted to a certain extent, arguably. for granted to a certain extent, arauabl . for granted to a certain extent, arguably- and - for granted to a certain extent, arguably.- and we - for granted to a certain extent, l arguably.- and we forget for granted to a certain extent, - arguably.- and we forgetjust arguably. indeed. and we forget 'ust how well renowned, i arguably. indeed. and we forget 'ust how well renowned, how i arguably. indeed. and we forget 'ust how well renowned, how well i how well renowned, how well respected, how a lot she was not just across the commonwealth but around the globe.— around the globe. indeed, and sometimes — around the globe. indeed, and sometimes if _ around the globe. indeed, and sometimes if you _ around the globe. indeed, and sometimes if you grow - around the globe. indeed, and sometimes if you grow up - around the globe. indeed, and sometimes if you grow up with around the globe. indeed, and l sometimes if you grow up with if around the globe. indeed, and - sometimes if you grow up with if you take it for granted as you have just said stop for me, i grew up in the

have that shared experience of remembering and honouring her majesty 's life. i tell you what, you do get a real sense of the whole world continuing to reflect on the loss of queen elizabeth ii. in the early hours of this morning, australia held a proclamation ceremony in honour of king charles the third, followed by a gun salute. let's speak to our australia correspondent shaimaa khalil. shaimaa, how are people there reacting? morning, sally. so interesting to hear you and john speaking to people there because you get the same feeling here. king charles iii has been officially proclaimed as australia's ruling monarch and head of state in a ceremony that happened in canberra and it was announced by the governor general, and also co—signed by the prime minister anthony albanese. the governor general said this is the dawn of a

new era. here in sydney, a similar ceremony has happened, a state proclamation outside the new south wales parliament house, and there were large crowds outside parliament house there to mark this occasion, this wench in a lifetime occasion, and you could see the emotions around the place. there was quiet at times —— this once—in—a—lifetime occasion. people cheered god save the king for the first time, and of course they sang along, the new rendition of the anthem, god save the king. and when i spoke to several people there, some said the queen is the only monarch we knew all our lives, some reflected on memories of her when she visited australia, and they said we used to travel far just to get a glimpse australia, and they said we used to travel farjust to get a glimpse of her and be amongst the crowds, and now that she's gone, we wanted to be among the crowd as well. we spoke to young families who brought their small children, and they said we wanted to be here to pay respects,

to the queen and her service, but also to have our kids present at this momentous moment in history. of course, the queen made history when she arrived here at sydney harbour tunnel in 1954 for the first time, being the only reigning monarch to visit australia. since then, she visited a total of 16 times. there was always an affinity with the monarch, people felt she wasn't just the head of state, notjust the queen of australia, she was a friend of the country, and many people spoke of their memories, there was a mix of feeling, a profound sadness of the loss of queen elizabeth, but also hope in the new reign of king charles iii. many people said it doesn't matter if you are a monarchist or a republican, if you want australia to still have king charles as the head of state or you want australia to become a republic with a president, right now is not the time. there may be a referendum down the line, but right now it is a

time of reflection, a time of appreciation for the queen, for a life that was dedicated to service and duty, but also a look at the new king, and a welcome to the new king, king, and a welcome to the new king, king charles iii. september 22 is going to be a national day of mourning and it has been announced as a national holiday as well. thank ou ve as a national holiday as well. thank you very much _ as a national holiday as well. thank you very much indeed. _ lots of sporting events have been cancelled this weekend but the test will resume and the great north run goes ahead today. our sports correspondentjoe wilson has been looking at which events have been cancelled after the queen's death. when famous arenas of sport are truly brought to silence, there is a profound effect. at the oval, it was a sustained, subdued reflection, and then the anthem.

foster will be giving a speech at the start line to all of the runners. sally. alison, thank you very much indeed. i can tell you, just coming up to 7am on sunday morning, one of those mornings it is a real privilege to be up very early. london is looking beautiful. a little bit misty at the moment i can tell you. there you can see, a glorious shot of the e—mail, buckingham palace shrouded in mist —— of the mall. over the last couple days of course many people have along they are to lay their flowers at the gates. you can see preparations under way for the many more people who are expected to arrive here today. obviously it is the weekend now. more people here, asjohn maguire was showing us, people who are visiting the uk, taking their moment here at buckingham palace to come and pay their respects to the queen. you know, when prince william now the

prince of wales and princess of wales got married in 2011, one million people crowded along the mall to see them on the balcony and i know we can expect many, many people over the coming days to walk a long the mall and up to buckingham palace, to take their time and spend a moment in front of these gates. as i said, things looking quite misty herejust coming up i said, things looking quite misty here just coming up to seven o'clock on sunday morning but let's see how the weather is looking for the rest of the uk. good morning to you. it looks like part two of the weekend will be drier and sunnier than yesterday. it will feel quite warm into the afternoon as well but we have a new area of low pressure, which will work into western areas later on, bringing some rain particularly to northern ireland, and you can see it is showing up clearly here on the pressure chart. a pressure though holds on across much of the country, bringing fine and settled conditions throughout the day. but it will be quite a chilly start across scotland, england and wales, some mist and fog patches around first thing, which can be quite dense for a while and then we will see plenty

of sunshine in the afternoon. a bit of sunshine in the afternoon. a bit of fair weather cloud bubbling up, that might herald an isolated shower. for northern ireland though, much went into the afternoon at the wins will be picking up from the south. however, ithink wins will be picking up from the south. however, i think it will be a slightly warmer day today, up to 21 degrees in inverness come up to 23 degrees in inverness come up to 23 degrees across the south and east of england. some of this rain in northern ireland will be heavy and thundery, it will continue to push its way northwards and eastwards over night come into much of scotland, northern northern and western wales, rumbles of thunder even further south. behind it, something a little bit fresherjust pushing to the north—west of scotland. otherwise, a mild and muqqy scotland. otherwise, a mild and muggy night for all areas, particularly warm across the south. so for monday then, we will have that weather front line through central areas being a rather grey, damp day here, very slowly sinking southwards but for much of southern britain, dry, sunny and very warm, an odd show here. right for scotland, northern ireland, but we will see some blustery showers across the north and west of scotland, temperatures coming down

here, so the mid to high teens in the up to the mid 20s across the south and east. and then into tuesday, well, it looks like we are all into that fresher air, that weather front will have spread southwards was that we should see quite a bit of sunshine around though thanks to high—pressure trains are built in, and it will be noticeably cool in the and across the south, highs of 21 or 22 degrees. so it does look like this area of high pressure will continue to establish itself to the west of the uk, as we move the ball into the week. no pressure over scandinavia. that will open the floodgates to a northerly wind for a while, and it will bring down some colder air, which will be noticeable across all areas by the end of the week but most noticeably across the northern half of the country. but because higher pressure wants to influence our weather throughout the week and once we lose the rain early in the week it will turn dry with some sunshine but it will be noticeably cooler by day and by night. that's it. see you later.

good morning. welcome to breakfast withjon kay at the palace of holyroodhouse in edinburgh — and sally nugent at buckingham palace. our headlines today: the first stage of the queen's final journey begins today, as her coffin is driven from balmoral to edinburgh before being flown to london on tuesday. the queen is due to lie in state for four days in the capital, before a state funeral at westminster abbey on monday the 19th of september. members of the royal family have thanked mourners who've gathered to remember the queen, including an unexpected show of unity from princes william and harry. it's sunday, 11th september. i'm at the palace of holyroodhouse in edinburgh — the official residence

of the british monarch in scotland. the queen's coffin will arrive here from balmoral later today. let's take a look at the route it will take. there is a real sense of peace year, as people come to the city to witness this extraordinary moment in our history. let me explain a bit about the route the coffin will take. at around 10:00, her coffin will be carried by six of the gamekeepers from her scottish estate from the ballroom at balmoral to a hearse. from there, it will begin a six—hour, 175—milejourney.

the route will pass through aberdeen, on to dundee, before finally arriving at the palace here where it will lie in the throne room until monday afternoon. our correspondent judith moritz has this report. drums beat. the eyes of the world are about to turn to edinburgh. and step by step, beat by heat, the pageantry must be perfect. in this city, no—one wants to put a foot wrong. this was yesterday's dress rehearsal. today will be the real thing.

god save the queen plays. those with ceremonial responsibilities are feeling a mixture of pressure and pride. it is a huge responsibility. i have been the lord provost and the lord lieutenant for just a few weeks, and ijust hope i live up to the expectations of me, and i hope, and i'm sure, that the city will put on a very determined show of its respects for the queen in the next few days. three cheers for his majesty the king! hip hip! hooray! yesterday the public proclamation of the new king at stjames's palace in london began a series of historical ceremonies. i am deeply aware of this great inheritance, and of the duties and heavy responsibilities of sovereignty, which have now passed to me. in taking up these responsibilities, i shall strive to follow

the inspiring example i have been set in upholding constitutional government and to seek the peace, harmony and prosperity of the peoples of these islands. but as well as the formal events, there are also moments for the family. at windsor, william and catherine, together with harry and meghan, came to meet well—wishers and share memories of their grandmother, the queen. and at balmoral, princes andrew and edward, princess anne, their spouses and children, read some of the many tributes which prompted obvious emotions at a tender moment, as princess eugenie held onto her father for comfort. today the focus will move from the monarch's summer residence to the scottish capital.

because the queen died in balmoral and set in train a whole sequence of events in scotland that wouldn't have happened had she passed away in london. and so its capital city is readying itself, as the queen's coffin is brought here and edinburgh becomes the centre of events for the next few days. on monday, the king willjoin the procession as the coffin is brought along the royal mile to st giles cathedral, where the queen will lie at rest. anybody can talk about faith, but to live it is what makes a difference to people, and i think she lived it. reverend liz henderson is one of the royal chaplains, and is preparing for the service of prayer and reflection to be held at the cathedral. when you look around edinburgh, you can see that building, can't you? the place is getting busier and busier, there are more people gathering, particularly in this part of the old town, and so the focus is very much on st giles. it has particular significance for this service, because the queen actually came here just three weeks after her coronation injune 1953,

and it was here that she was blessed by the then—moderator of the church of scotland and the dean of the chapel royal. as flowers continue to arrive, news crews keep coming, too. speaks french. here from all over the globe. the french people are fascinated by the royal family, and by all the stories. they don't want monarchy in france, but they are really touched by the royal family. when we learned, when we were on set in paris and we learned something was about to happen, we were all very sad. i come from italy, from rome, and the minute we heard the news that the queen was sick, we just flew to great britain

and then to balmoral, because it's of huge impact in italy as well. we are very interested in the british monarchy. yesterday we had half an hour dedicated to this event, and we would be going on for the next few days until the official funeral. amongst the pomp and protocol, there are the people. once the queen's subjects, now the king's, all witnessing history as it happens around them. judith moritz, bbc news, edinburgh. you really do sense right across the city that sense of expectation and duty, asjudith was saying, but people here in edinburgh and across scotland really want to play their part over the next couple of days,

of saying farewell, a scottish farewell, to queen elizabeth the second. on the royal mile last night, wherejudith was filming, we bumped into a man who runs a gift shop, one of the many gift shops along the royal mile, and he was telling me he had been overwhelmed with people turning up yesterday, wanting to buy anything they possibly could but referred to the queen. he had almost sold out of platinumjubilee queen. he had almost sold out of platinum jubilee details with a picture of her majesty on it, people just wanted something, anything, something tangible to take away unknown, that in some way reflect that her and had a connection with attenborough. there was that sense here this morning, because through the night, there has been rehearsals, and ijust want to the night, there has been rehearsals, and i just want to show you these pictures of the rehearsals that have taken place, in the dark, of members of the military preparing for that moment later today when the hearse arrives at the palace of hollywood house. we think that would

be at about four o'clock this afternoon. the military using the nighttime hours, when there are no crowds around, to prepare the darts, to make sure they are absolutely precise and perfects in the pageantry. and i think it is only when you see these pictures, isn't it, even though these are not rehearsals, that you can begin to imagine what we are going to see the real in edinburgh and in london, and windsor, over the next week. well, the coffin begins its journey this morning at balmoral castle, the queen's lovett royal estate, and our

royal correspondence sarah campbell is there for us this morning, she spoke often, and with the real fondness about balmoral, so it is so poignant that she will leave there for the final time today? good mornin: for the final time today? good morning to — for the final time today? good morning to you, _ for the final time today? good morning to you, john, - for the final time today? good morning to you, john, it - for the final time today? good morning to you, john, it is - for the final time today? good morning to you, john, it is so| morning to you, john, it is so peaceful here, so tranquil this morning as the sun has risen over the glands that surround this beautiful part of the country, really the only sound has been the sound of the birds, the sound of the river be which is just a hundred metres or so away from where i am, in front of the gates to balmoral castle. —— river dee. as you say, the queen loved it here. she cherished it here, and it is here that over the last three days, since her death on thursday, but her family have gathered behind those gates, and yesterday they emerged,

they drove in convoy to nearby crathie kirk, the church with the clean worship so often here during those long summers she spent on the estate, and when they returned, princess anne and her family, prince andrew and his two daughters, beatrice and eugenie, the earl and countess of wessex, and their daughter, lady louise, they got out of those cars, they walked along, walked across the bridge, across the river dee, spoke to some of those people that had travelled to be here today, they said thank you to them, and then they spent a few minutes just having a look for themselves, reading some of the hundreds of messages that have been left standing next to those flowers which really, this morning, smelled so beautiful, and then went back into the gates, but they turned around, faced the crowd, and just gave a

little wave, and the audience, the people who had queued up here clapped, gave some applause, a mutual acknowledgement of the loss that the nation is currently coming to terms with, but also obviously the family members are coming to terms with, using their mother and their grandmother, and we now know that the queen death on thursday, has been the an in the oak coffin covered in the royal standard to scotland and a wreath of flowers. —— that since the queen's death on thursday. at ten o'clock that oak coffin will be driven to the waiting hearse and driven through the gates here to begin the journey to edinburgh, the first stopping point for the coffin. the journey of about 175 miles, specially planned route taking in the cities of aberdeen, dundee, perth. it will travel slowly, it will take six hours to make that

public away until after the queen's often has left, and then they will continue to be allowed to come and leave those tributes. the people i have spoken to over the last few days, theyjust wanted to be here, they wanted to feel that they had given their tribute, made their tribute, many of them knew her, she was very much seen as a member of the community, she spent such a lot of time here, and many people brought children, far too young to know that they are participating in a moment of history, saying to me, wejust want them a moment of history, saying to me, we just want them as they grow up to have a connection with the queen in the way that we have. over all of these years, because of course all they will know is aching, going forward, but for the rest of us, we have lived our lives with the queen as our monarch, and we were talking earlier, john, won't we, that moment, i think when the coffin passes through those gates, for

those of us who still find it almost hard to believe that the queen 's gone, that will be the moment when reality is made obvious, and it is no longer surreal, it is real. that's right, sarah, at balmoral, thank you very much indeed. that is what so many people have said to us here over the last few hours, people determined to be here on the royal mail outside the palace of holyrood house, a little bit later tomorrow. —— royal mile. they want to see it, take it in, understand it, until they see the pageantry beginning, so many of them have said they still can't really believe what has happened, so quickly, so suddenly, injust the last happened, so quickly, so suddenly, in just the last couple of days. i am sure it is a sentiment felt at buckingham palace in london as well, where they have seen such huge crowds over the last few days, and sally is there for us this morning. let's join sally now, who is at buckingham palace this morning.

you make an interesting point and looking at sarah's shots from balmoral it's interesting to contrast the scene we have at buckingham palace where the crowd got together and obviously, this is a huge, iconic symbol of the monarchy here in the uk and lots and lots of people have been travelling here over the last few days to honour the uk's longest serving monarch. you can see from that shot, look at the mist over the palace at the moment, the list we thought was going to clear so far and it hasn't and you can tell that the palace just at the end of the mall if you can make it out, shrouded in mist. we are hoping the sun will come out a little bit, maybe that'll happen later today. many, a little bit, maybe that'll happen latertoday. many, many people expected on the mall through the day here and floral tributes to children's drawings of her majesty queen elizabeth ii have all been left here over the last couple of days and outside oil residences across the uk. we have our

correspondentjohn maguire who is out talking to people who are coming to pay their respects and we will talk to him in a moment but first, that's talk to paul adams. he is at clarence house for us. the new king is there, preparing for events to come later here at buckingham palace. we know that king charles iii has a busy agenda today so what will be happening? goad iii has a busy agenda today so what will be happening?— iii has a busy agenda today so what will be happening? good morning. i am standing — will be happening? good morning. i am standing literally _ will be happening? good morning. i am standing literally a _ will be happening? good morning. i am standing literally a couple - will be happening? good morning. i am standing literally a couple of- am standing literally a couple of hundred — am standing literally a couple of hundred yards from where you are outside _ hundred yards from where you are outside clarence house and this has been the _ outside clarence house and this has been the king's official residence as prince — been the king's official residence as prince of wales for quite along time _ as prince of wales for quite along time it's— as prince of wales for quite along time it's a — as prince of wales for quite along time. it's a face which in family associations at one time or another with both _ associations at one time or another with both his mother and his grandmother living here. we don't actually— grandmother living here. we don't actually know when king charles and the queen— actually know when king charles and the queen consort will move out of clarence _ the queen consort will move out of clarence house and down to buckingham palace that while attention is very much on events in scotland _ attention is very much on events in scotland today, for king charles, it's all—

as i say, in recent times, there still a quietness here and there is something i think very powerful, very special about a lot of people not making much noise and again, that's because i think there is a solemn nurse, a chance to reflect, a chance to think and it is hearing over and over again and it's a privilege to hearfrom over and over again and it's a privilege to hear from them, over and over again and it's a privilege to hearfrom them, i think. sally, back to you. privilege to hear from them, i think. sally, back to you. john, i could not— think. sally, back to you. john, i could not agree _ think. sally, back to you. john, i could not agree more, _ think. sally, back to you. john, i could not agree more, lots i think. sally, back to you. john, i could not agree more, lots and l think. sally, back to you. john, i. could not agree more, lots and lots of families here over the last couple of days and it's interesting how it is the children who have the most beautiful things to say thank you to everyone who has spoken to us. sunday with laura kuenssberg follows breakfast this morning. laura, what can we expect on today's show? good morning. one of the things that is such a key part of how the state works is the relationship between the monarch and their prime minister of the day and to try to understand a bit more about that special relationship, today on the programme we will hearfrom relationship, today on the programme we will hear from three former prime ministers— david cameron, theresa

see the mist is really coming in now. not deterring the crowd, though. they are building, certainly, over the last hour or so and people are coming down early here on sunday morning, perhaps anticipating many more people coming throughout the day so as you can see, very, very misty here this morning but let's see how the weather is looking across the rest of the uk. good morning. it looks like being a dryer part two of the weekend, with more sunshine around today, but with high pressure continuing to dominate, there will be some rain pushing into western areas later on, and we could see this new area of low pressure so some of the rain will be quite heavy for a time across northern ireland into this evening. the high pressure holds on across much of the country, light winds, quite a chilly start to the day, some early mist and fog which will tend to lift and breaks, and then we should see quite a bit of sunshine and just a slim chance of an isolated light shower. further west it starts to turn cloudier, breezy and much wetter, certainly

for northern ireland. temperatures up for northern ireland. temperatures up to 21 in northern scotland with the sunshine, up to 23 degrees across the south—east. but it turns very much wetter across northern ireland and of energy scotland, northern england, northern and western wales this evening and overnight. we could see some rumbles of thunder without rain, and behind it, some blustery showers pushing to the far north—west of scotland, but dry and quite mild and muggy across the south. the monday we have a 3—way split, central areas will see that weather front, rather damp with outbreaks of rain, to the north of it, cooler and sunshine with blustery showers on the north—west of scotland, southern britain will be dry with some sunshine and feeling warmer come up to 25 degrees, fresher in the north. that pressure in the north spread south as we move into tuesday, maybe a few showers and then high—pressure building on the west. it will be largely settled in the latter part of the week but it will be turning cooler. you're watching bbc breakfast. i'm live at the palace of holyroodhouse in edinburgh, where the queen's coffin will arrive from balmoral later today.

the queen will lie in state for four days before her funeral at westminster abbey on monday, 19th september. the focus will remain here in edinburgh for the next couple of days before it moves to london where the queen will state for four days ahead of her funeral at westminster abbey. that will be a week tomorrow, monday, 19 september. i know lots of people want to know what we can expect to happen over the next few days ahead, one of the key moments to look out for. —— what are the key moments. our diplomatic correspondent james landale takes a look at the days ahead. six of the queen's gamekeepers will carry the coffin to a hearse that will drive slowly south, taking six hours to reach the palace of holyrood house in edinburgh. the following afternoon, just after 2:30pm, the coffin will travel

in military procession along the royal mile to st giles cathedral, with the king and other members of the royal family following on foot. there, after a service involving people from all parts of scottish society, the queen's body will lie in rest for 24 hours to allow the public to pay their respects. there will be a continuous vigil held by the royal company of archers, and just after 7pm, by the king himself. on tuesday afternoon, the coffin, accompanied by the princess royal, will be flown to northolt airport in london and taken onto buckingham palace. from there, on wednesday afternoon, the queen's often believe the palace, conveyed up the mall by a gun carriage. -- queen's coffin will leave the palace. the king and members of the royal family walking slowly and silently behind, with no music, just the tolling of big ben.

the procession will end at whitehall, where the archbishop of canterbury will conduct a short service. in this ancient building the queen will lie in state four full days, her coffin mounted on a raised platform known as a catafalque, with many thousands expected to file past the coffin. then, on bank holiday monday morning, the queen's often believe —— coffin will leave westminster hall and be taken in a grand military procession to westminster abbey. members of the royal family are expected again to follow on foot. at 11 o'clock, the full state funeral will begin at the abbey, where foreign statesman, european royalfamilies and other dignitaries willjoin the public in honouring the life of a queen who will be laid to rest later at st george's chapel, windsor. james landale, bbc news. but before that, as we were saying, the attention will be here on edinburgh, andjoining me now is the attention will be here on edinburgh, and joining me now is the leader of edinburgh council, cammy

when she signed her message on her platinumjubilee it when she signed her message on her platinum jubilee it ended with "your servant, elizabeth r". it is the christian understanding of leadership that we should follow christ, who came not to be served, but to serve, and servant leadership is the best possible model, because then you are selfless and you are thinking of others and their needs. she cold her faith thinking of others and their needs. she cold herfaith her anchor, didn't she? she cold her faith her anchor, didn't she?— she cold her faith her anchor, didn't she? yes, a rock and an anchor, something _ didn't she? yes, a rock and an anchor, something which - didn't she? yes, a rock and an i anchor, something which actually helped her he a wonderful person that she was. so wonderful this morning, talk —— standing outside buckingham palace, and although it is early morning, just a stream of people quietly paying their tributes, people actually want to say thank you. tributes, people actually want to say thank you-— tributes, people actually want to sa thank ou. ., , , say thank you. there is a real sense of gratitude. _ say thank you. there is a real sense of gratitude, isn't _ say thank you. there is a real sense of gratitude, isn't there? _ say thank you. there is a real sense of gratitude, isn't there? everybody we have spoken to, that real theme of gratitude running throughout all of gratitude running throughout all of this. i know that you in

window, and the dean said, your majesty, one of your subjects does not seem particularly overwhelmed by your presence. and to see the queen relax and laugh, to see a wonderful sense of humour, it was really a great gift. but the precious memory is when the royal artillery were moving from this part of the world, from woolwich, down to salisbury plain, to like hill, and they were completing a process that had gone on for some years. —— lark hill. the queen was invited to mark the occasion, the officers' mess had moved down, finally. i was invited, i was bishop of woolwich before i was bishop of southwark, and i was with my sister—in—law, who is profoundly deaf. when the queen realised my sister—in—law was death, she was wearing a duke of edinburgh gold award, and the queen lit up and communicated without speech, in a wonderful way with my sister—in—law, so that she felt she had had a deeper level of engagement for the

queen, and the queen, not least, was saying how in the royal family there is quite a long history of deafness among her own relatives. share is quite a long history of deafness among her own relatives. are lots of --eole among her own relatives. are lots of people who — among her own relatives. are lots of people who are _ among her own relatives. are lots of people who are coming _ among her own relatives. are lots of people who are coming here - among her own relatives. are lots of people who are coming here today, | among her own relatives. are lots of| people who are coming here today, it gives them a chance, a moment, doesn't it, to reflect on their own losses. you think we are feeling a sense of collective loss? i losses. you think we are feeling a sense of collective loss?— sense of collective loss? i think there are _ sense of collective loss? i think there are two — sense of collective loss? i think there are two things _ sense of collective loss? i think| there are two things happening. sense of collective loss? i think i there are two things happening. one is that people are telling their stories, as you havejust is that people are telling their stories, as you have just encouraged me to do, and it may havejust stories, as you have just encouraged me to do, and it may have just been from seeing the queen, or a moment in their lives when they felt associated with a national event and the queen has been presiding over that. the other is that it brings to the surface all of our losses, human loss, the price of love is grief, as the queen herself said. and there is a deep sense of national loss. there is also a sense of hope, because nobody could be better prepared and prepared by the queen then the king,

king charles, whom we have all known as the prince of wales for so long. bishop christopher, thank you so much for spending some time with us this morning. it has been lovely to talk to you. this morning. it has been lovely to talk to you-— this morning. it has been lovely to talk to you— we i talk to you. thank you, sally. we know that — talk to you. thank you, sally. we know that thousands _ talk to you. thank you, sally. we know that thousands of _ talk to you. thank you, sally. we know that thousands of people i talk to you. thank you, sally. we i know that thousands of people have been paying their tributes to the queen since her death was announced on thursday, and yesterday, in a surprise show of unity, the new prince and princess of wales and the duke and duchess of sussex appeared greet well—wishers and look at the floral tributes outside windsor castle. our royal correspondence daniella relph has this report. nobody had seen this coming. after the fallout and friction, it was unexpected and unannounced. cheering and applause. walking together through the cambridge gates of windsor castle, the new prince and princess of wales and the duke and duchess of sussex. it was a family reunited in grief. there were a few words exchanged as they looked at the flowers and tributes left

to honour the queen. all eyes were on them. the brothers have barely spoken to each other in two years but something clearly shifted. then, to the crowds. harry and meghan down one side of windsor�*s long walk, chatting, receiving flowers and condolences. it's lovely to come together, isn't it, for their nan, but they love their nana very much obviously. a time of crisis, we need to be together. no family likes any conflict, i we don't know what's gone on, but it's great to see them together, and it's good for the country- as a whole. william prince of wales issued a moving personal statement about his grandmother, saying:

the fractured relationship between william and harry has showed few signs of healing. after the funeral of their grandfather the duke of edinburgh, there was hope this chat would lead to a reconciliation. there was a similar hope when the brothers came together to unveil a statue of their mother, but the hurt was deep on both sides and neither could find a peace. as they walked back, there was a joint goodbye. thank you so much, thank you. cheering. and then, the royal couples left together, in the same car. who knows if this is a lasting reconciliation? but the loss of the queen has gone some way to mending a damaging family rift. daniela relph, bbc news.

let's talk about this with camilla tominey, associate editor of the telegraph. good morning, thank you for talking to us. those images we saw from late yesterday afternoon at windsor, they were surprising, we were not expecting the princess to be together, were we? but it's a real moment. , . ,., together, were we? but it's a real moment. , . ., ., ., moment. very much so, almost one of the most remarkable _ moment. very much so, almost one of the most remarkable walkabouts i moment. very much so, almost one of the most remarkable walkabouts from | the most remarkable walkabouts from the most remarkable walkabouts from the world in recent memory on what we would expect from the prince and princess of wales but to see harry and meghan coming out, the fab four reunited, looking at the seams there is a degree of awkwardness because everyone is watching the body language and clearly, it took a lot for both brothers to come together and put their differences aside in memory of their grandmother and it's only fitting. i think the public has been brought some comfort by saying that because there is a sadness around the fact that this previously, these others in arms, this duo have been on different paths. i think there is a road to

reconciliation ahead and it may be a bit rocky and there is the prospect of prince harry's autobiography to come which the royals and palace are worried about and they are not getting advance citing of this book which he promises will be accurate and helpful truth but we'll have to see i think if there is any chance of approach mont, it will be this week, right? it of approach mont, it will be this week. right?— of approach mont, it will be this week, right? it is difficult for you to speculate _ week, right? it is difficult for you to speculate but _ week, right? it is difficult for you to speculate but what _ week, right? it is difficult for you to speculate but what do - week, right? it is difficult for you to speculate but what do you i week, right? it is difficult for you | to speculate but what do you think this thinking behind yesterday was —— rapprochement. was it to get the photograph out there now? was it the start of a road to reconciliation, as you expect, because sometime over the next coming days i imagine we would have to have them together, wouldn't we? i would have to have them together, wouldn't we?— wouldn't we? i think the narrative was bein: wouldn't we? i think the narrative was being slightly _ wouldn't we? i think the narrative was being slightly overshadowed | wouldn't we? i think the narrative i was being slightly overshadowed with talk of this ongoing drift, so hurry go to balmoral alone and reports that meghan was going to go and then didn't and they are both conscious from a pr perspective the optics around it are not good and they don't want to be overshadowing this ten day mourning period but who

knows what is actually going on inside the family but questions that are being asked at the moment following the briefing yesterday with the funeral arrangements are what role they play in the funeral, will it be like the platinum jubilee celebrations where there is a distinction between working and nonworking royals and what will it look like so i think the prince of wales extended the invitation and thatis wales extended the invitation and that is him living up to his new—found stature as the second—in—command of this institution so it was a case of let's rise above and try to do the right thing. just let's rise above and try to do the right thing-— right thing. just having another look at the _ right thing. just having another look at the images there i right thing. just having another look at the images there and l right thing. just having another| look at the images there and we mentioned, didn't we, level of awkwardness but also, i was looking for a level of awkwardness?- for a level of awkwardness? maybe. it is hard when _ for a level of awkwardness? maybe. it is hard when you _ for a level of awkwardness? maybe. it is hard when you are _ for a level of awkwardness? maybe. it is hard when you are so _ for a level of awkwardness? maybe. it is hard when you are so on - for a level of awkwardness? maybe. it is hard when you are so on show, | it is hard when you are so on show, isn't it? yes! and the contrasting styles have also been evident, william and kate are businesslike with what they are doing but warm towards the public but harry and meghan are touchy—feely but maybe that reflects the different studies now. , , .,

(13mg. morning. first of all, i would like to give my warm, best wishes, sympathy, love and condolences and prayers to king charles and the royal family at such an awfully sad time. we met at university. i was at the same university at cambridge, prince charles was at cullity and i was inaudible and we were in the same year and was inaudible and we were in the same yearand in was inaudible and we were in the same year and in the same subject —— trinity. was a connection before that because my father the governor—general in malta and as such, worked directly for the queen and new the queen and prince philip so there was a connection that we were both arriving at university at the same time and were introduced.

sibella, i believe we are seeing a beautiful black and white photograph now of your parents with the queen and the duke of edinburgh. so that family connection was already very well—established? family connection was already very well-established?— well-established? yes, the photograph _ well-established? yes, the photograph comes - well-established? yes, the photograph comes from i well-established? yes, the| photograph comes from the well-established? yes, the - photograph comes from the queen well-established? yes, the _ photograph comes from the queen and prince philip's state visit to sierra leone in freetown in 1961. i'm sorry i could not find the official family i'm sorry i could not find the officialfamily one i'm sorry i could not find the official family one with me, aged 11. very fortunate to be able to be there for that state visit at that age. i was at school in freetown so i was part of it and that's where i met her first.— met her first. sibella, i believe ou are met her first. sibella, i believe you are actually, _ met her first. sibella, i believe you are actually, king - met her first. sibella, i believe you are actually, king charles. met her first. sibella, i believe| you are actually, king charles is godfather to your son. i presume you stayed close since university and the years following?— the years following? yes, relatively- _ the years following? yes, relatively. he _ the years following? yes, relatively. he has- the years following? yes, relatively. he has been i the years following? yes, relatively. he has been a| the years following? yes, - relatively. he has been a brilliant godfather. he has many godchildren now. when he became godfather to

country and the commonwealth and the other realms. and i think it is what he will be like, he will be totally dedicated to it, with the same sense of duty that the queen had, which i think he has had all his life, as he once said when somebody asked him what does it feel like to be the heir to the throne, he said in his wonderful way "i would not really know because i have never been anything else" and that has given him an awareness of the commitment. so i think he will be brilliant. and inaudible. so i think he will be brilliant. and inaudible-— so i think he will be brilliant. and inaudible. . ., inaudible. and already day-to-day duties have started, _ inaudible. and already day-to-day duties have started, haven't - inaudible. and already day-to-day duties have started, haven't they, i duties have started, haven't they, for the new king. how do you think he has react within the last couple of days in terms of what we have seen and the moments we have seen him with the crowds here and also, when he addressed the nation? yes. him with the crowds here and also, when he addressed the nation? yes, i mean, i when he addressed the nation? yes, i mean. ithink— when he addressed the nation? yes, i mean. i think it _ when he addressed the nation? yes, i mean, i think it has _ when he addressed the nation? yes, i mean, i think it has been _ when he addressed the nation? yes, i mean, i think it has been absolutely l mean, i think it has been absolutely amazing and couldn't possibly have been done any differently or better, i mean. ithink

been done any differently or better, i mean. i think it must�*ve been so hard when you're trying to carry your own personal grief and bereavement and losing his parents close together, as i did, and so i think i know a little bit about what that feels, and it's a huge sadness but, you know, he has to obviously contain that and do what is right for now, and i think the mix of informality that greeting the crowd and talking so personally in his wonderful address means that he has already got going and i think it will carry on day—to—day and he will somehow get through the next week — which will of course be marvellous and celebrated me because she was 96 and celebrated me because she was 96 and she has gone home to heaven. as and she has gone home to heaven. as a friend said, she was at work in balmoral on tuesday and resting in heaven on thursday. i balmoral on tuesday and resting in heaven on thursday.— balmoral on tuesday and resting in heaven on thursday. i know you will be holdin: heaven on thursday. i know you will be holding church _ heaven on thursday. i know you will be holding church service _ heaven on thursday. i know you will be holding church service today. i heaven on thursday. i know you willl be holding church service today. how will that be remembering the queen?

which will work into western areas later on, bringing some rain particularly to northern ireland and can see showing up clearly here on the pressure chart, high pressure holding on across much of the country, bringing fine and settled conditions throughout but quite a chilly start across scotland, england and wales, some mist and fog patches around first thing which could be quite dense for a while and tends to lift and break and then plenty of sunshine in the afternoon. fair weather cloud bubbling up which may bring an isolated light shower. northern ireland will turn much wetter into the afternoon and the winds pick up from the south. slightly warmer day though, 21 in inverness, 23 across the south and east of england. some of the rain across northern ireland will be heavy and thundery and will continue to push north and east overnight. into scotland, northern england and northern and western wales and rumbles of thunder even further south. hide it, something fresher pushing to the north—west of but otherwise, a mild and muggy night for all areas, especially warm across the south. for monday, the

weather front will live through central areas, weather front will live through centralareas, it weather front will live through central areas, it has been a grey and grant —— damp day, thinking south but southern britain, dry and sunny and warm, may be an odd shower. great for scotland and northern ireland but we will see blustery showers across the north and west of scotland with temperatures coming down. the mid—to—high teens in the north. up to the mid 20s across the south and east. into tuesday, it looks like we're all into the fresh air, the weather front spreading southwards, quite a bit of sunshine around though thanks to high pressure trying to build in, and noticeably cool in the north and across the south, highs of 21 or 22. it looks like this area of high pressure will continue to establish itself to the west of the uk as we move deeper on into the week with low pressure over scandinavia, opening the floodgates to a northerly wind for a while and it will bring down some colder air which will be noticeable across all

areas by the end of the week but most possibly across the northern half of the country but because higher pressure once to influence our weather through the week, once we lose the rain earlier in the week it will turn dry with some sunshine but good morning and welcome to breakfast with jon kay at the palace of holyroodhouse in edinburgh. and sally nugent at buckingham palace. our headlines today... the first stage of the queen's final journey begins today — as her coffin is driven from balmoral on a six hour journey to edinburgh — before being flown to london on tuesday. the queen is due to lie in state forfour days in the capital before a state funeral at westminster abbey on monday the 19th of september. members of the royal family have thanked

mourners who've gathered to remember the queen, including an unexpected show of unity from princes william and harry. it's sunday 11th september. it's a slightly chilly but a relatively calm morning here this morning in edinburgh. church bells have been ringing. i'm at the palace of holyroodhouse in edinburgh — the official residence of the british monarch in scotland. the queen's coffin will arrive here from balmoral later today. we expect thousands of people to line the roads here and all along the route. let's take a look at the route it will take. at around ten o'clock, her coffin will be carried by six of the gamekeepers from her scottish estate from the ballroom at balmoral

to a hearse. from there, it will begin a six hour, 175 milejourney. the route will pass through aberdeen. then on to dundee, before finally arriving at the palace here where it will lie in the throne room until monday afternoon. there will then be another procession from the palace to st giles' cathedral along the royal mile. our correspondentjudith moritz has this report. she has spent a number of hours talking to the people who will be involved in this event.

drums beat. the eyes of the world are about to turn to edinburgh. and step by step, beat by heat, the pageantry must be perfect. in this city, no—one wants to put a foot wrong. this was yesterday's dress rehearsal. today will be the real thing. national anthem plays. those with ceremonial responsibilities are feeling a mixture of pressure and pride. it is a huge responsibility. i have been the lord provost and the lord lieutenant for just a few weeks, and ijust hope i live up to the expectations of me, and i hope, and i'm sure, that the city will put on a very determined show of its respects for the queen in the next few days.

three cheers for his majesty the king! hip hip! yesterday the public proclamation of the new king at stjames's palace in london began a series of historical ceremonies. hooray! hip hip! hooray! but as well as the formal events, there are also moments for the family. at windsor, william and catherine, together with harry and meghan, came to meet well—wishers and share memories of their grandmother, the queen. and at balmoral, princes andrew and edward, princess anne, their spouses and children, read some of the many tributes which prompted obvious emotions at a tender moment, as princess eugenie held onto her father for comfort. today the focus will move from the monarch's summer residence to the scottish capital.

because the queen died in balmoral it set in train a whole sequence of events in scotland that wouldn't have happened had she passed away in london. and so its capital city is readying itself, as the queen's coffin is brought here and edinburgh becomes the centre of events for the next few days. on monday, the king willjoin the procession as the coffin is brought along the royal mile to st giles cathedral, where the queen will lie at rest. anybody can talk about faith, but to live it is what makes a difference to people, and i think she lived it. reverend liz henderson is one of the royal chaplains, and is preparing for the service of prayer and reflection to be held at the cathedral. when you look around edinburgh, you can see that building, can't you? the place is getting busier and busier, there are more people gathering, particularly in this part of the old town, and so the focus is very much on st giles.

it has particular significance for this service, because the queen actually came here just three weeks after her coronation injune 1953, and it was here that she was blessed by the then—moderator of the church of scotland and the dean of the chapel royal. as flowers continue to arrive, news crews keep coming, too. speaks french. here from all over the globe. the french people are fascinated by the royal family, and by all the stories. really attached by the royal family. when we learned, when we were on set in paris and we learned something was about to happen, we were all very sad. i come from italy, from rome, and the minute we heard i the news that the queen was sick,

we just flew to great britain - and then to balmoral, because it's of huge i impact in italy as well. we are very interested. in the british monarchy. yesterday we had half an hour dedicated to this event, - and we will be going on for the next few. days until the official funeral. amongst the pomp and protocol, there are the people. once the queen's subjects, now the king's, all witnessing history as it happens around them. judith moritz, bbc news, edinburgh. here at the gates of the palace of holyrood house, i don't know if you can hear, i will be required for just a moment.

trumpets sound. some of the buglers from the royal household practising they are, as they have been rehearsing all night, this will become the very focus of the world over the next few days. we know the palace of holyrood house, this is the official residence of the monarchy in scotland. she was here injune, july, for what she called holyrood week, she would host garden parties and carry out investiture is and she will be brought back here with the public attending all the way from balmoral, witnessing that moment. tomorrow the coffin will be taken to the cathedral of st giles on the royal mile, she will lie at rest there.

there will be a private service therefore family and friends. members of the public will be able to process in and pay their own personal respect. and all night, under the cover of darkness, we have seen rehearsals taking place for what is about to happen and i think it's only really when we see these pictures, we kind of come to terms with what we are about to see for real over the next couple of days. we will see these processions, the military making sure that every footstep is perfect. every moment of the plan is that the queen was part of and was well aware of, what would happen if she were to pass away in scotland, she knew the plan was to bring the coffin here to edinburgh and then to the cathedral of st

giles. and the military that we have spoken to, the people we have met in the streets, have told us theyjust want to get every footstep of that right. our royal correspondent sarah campbell is that balmoral castle this morning. the queen beginning herfinaljourney from her this morning. the queen beginning her finaljourney from her beloved balmoral and it was a place that meant so much to her and still provides peace and tranquillity and sanctuary for the rest of her family while they grieve?— while they grieve? indeed, good morninu. while they grieve? indeed, good morning- it _ while they grieve? indeed, good morning- it is — while they grieve? indeed, good morning. it is a _ while they grieve? indeed, good morning. it is a beautiful- while they grieve? indeed, good. morning. it is a beautiful morning here in this corner of the scottish highlands. the sun has come up and shining down over the castle, and over the gates behind. last—minute

preparations going on for, as you say, thejourney of preparations going on for, as you say, the journey of the coffin of the queen which is set to begin here at 10am and since her death on thursday, she passed away here, members of her family have been arriving, spending time behind those gates but yesterday, they came out, princess and and her family, gates but yesterday, they came out, princess and and herfamily, prince andrew and his daughters beatrice and eugenie and the earl and countess of wessex and their daughter lady louise and they travelled to the nearby church just close to here. there was a short private family service and on the way back, they stop the cars, got out and walked down here and met with some of the hundreds and thousands of people who have made the journey here to balmoral to lay their own tributes and the family spoke to them and said thank you to them for coming and then looked and

spent some time with the floral tributes, reading the messages that had been left from people here in the community and further afield. and then they left and they turned around and gave a final wave to the crowd before they headed back into balmoral castle. and the journey begins here today at 10am. since thursday, the queen has been in an oak coffin in the ballroom at balmoral castle covered with the royal standard for scotland and a wreath of flowers. the time there has allowed members of her family to pay tribute but also so many members of staff who so loyally served her for so many years and at 10am, six gamekeepers will carry the coffin to the waiting hearse, it will leave through the gates and begin that long journey to edinburgh, 175

miles, travelling through the cities of aberdeen, dundee, perth, travelling slowly. the entire journey will take six hours and the aim is to allow as many people as possible to come out and see it as it passes and to pay their own respects to the passing queen. sarah cambell at respects to the passing queen. sarah campbell at balmoral, _ respects to the passing queen. sarah campbell at balmoral, thank you so much. and we will return to sarah later and talk you through the different stages of the journey, 175 miles, lasting six hours, that begins at 10am this morning from balmoral. the coffin is expected to arrive here at the palace of holyrood in edinburgh at around 4pm this afternoon and the authorities have told us in the last 30 minutes they expect tens and tens of thousands of people to descend on the royal mile and to wait here at

the royal mile and to wait here at the palace to pay their respects. today, and again tomorrow. this is a city which is feeling like it is at the centre of history right now and were just going to be the focus of world attention over the next couple of days before the coffin goes to london. then, the focus will be on westminster hall and buckingham palace and sally nugent, my colleague, is there for us this morning. thank you so much. talking to people here this morning there is a real sense that this doesn't feel quite realjust yet. but today is the day when we imagine this will all change. when the finaljourney of the queen starts and here thousands of people have travelled this weekend to honour the longest serving monarch in the uk, there you see the short of the mall, the mist

is lifting slightly over buckingham palace, it's very chilly here this morning. there have been so many floral tributes, there have been candles, drawings from children, when we arrived here at around 5am this morning it was so dark and there were candles still lit along there were candles still lit along the front of buckingham palace, people moving amongst them and looking at the messages. the flowers that have been left are being moved to a nearby park and gathered together. tim muffett has been speaking to people about how the death of the queen has affected them. choir sings. step by step, we are already adjusting to life in a new era. it's just a very strange, solemn time, losing someone that has been there all of your life. southwark cathedral in london.

rarely has queuing, that mundane, archetypal british activity, felt so poignant. books are being filled with messages of condolence. the queen has been our queen for all our lives, and i think now we have a king and it's likely to be kings for, well, the rest of our lives, but our children's lives as well. it's momentous. could i ask you, what have you decided to put? i put the stories, and what you did for our nation, will never leave us. i think that's what has really come across, is the fact that we didn't really know what she meant and what she did until she's not there. football matches have been called off this weekend, and on the thames, so too was the great river race, typically competitive and gruelling. instead, the more than 300 participants were invited to be

part of the queen elizabeth ii memorial river procession. as soon as the death of queen elizabeth was announced on thursday, thousands of bouquets of flowers were laid in front of buckingham palace. in london, well—wishers are being asked instead to place them in hyde park, or here in green park. have you been surprised as to how you've reacted ? i was very surprised. yes. i don't know why, i felt very teary. maybe as a mother of a daughter — she led with such dignity, and i often try to teach my children humility and dignity. she was a perfect example. i think that's why it has shaken me a bit. audrey stevenson was in the royal navy for almost 30 years, and met the queen several times. i came to pay my respects, it has really affected me deeply, the loss of our queen.

i served in the military for 27 years, and the day ijoined the military was the day that i swore allegiance to the queen, and ijoined up to serve her. when you spoke to her you didn't feel nervous, you just felt this calmness come around you, because she was just so graceful. i feel i've lost my grandmother, i feel so humbled by how the whole country has reacted, the nation, the world, everybody. we felt it was the right thing to do, to come down and pay our respects. it has brought memories of my mum as well. i she has passed away and it hasjust brought a lot of memories - and remembrance of it. because my mum adored the queen. we were blessed to have her. this national period of reflection has, for many, led to unexpected emotions, feelings and memories. the impact of queen elizabeth

ii's extraordinary life continues to be felt. tim muffett, bbc news. some of the floral tributes are absolutely stunning, i can tell you. across the parks here there be many more arriving over coming days. our diplomatic correspondent paul adams is at clarence house where the new king is preparing for a series of events. what is on the agenda today? morning. a steady stream of people coming past our position. i suspect not many of them even realising that this is clarence house where prince charles as was had his official residence for some time. we don't know when he's going to move from here permanently to buckingham palace but he will be going there

today, to the office, if you like, today, to the office, if you like, to continue the business of establishing himself as the new monarch. yesterday he got to meet members of the government and today it's all about the 56 members of the commonwealth. he will be holding a meeting with the commonwealth secretary general baroness scotland and after that a reception with the 14 and after that a reception with the 1a representatives of countries that still have the monarch as the head of state, countries like canada, australia, new zealand, jamaica and others. king charles has spoken a lot about his commitment to the commonwealth, to continue part of the important legacy of his mother and there will be challenges ahead as members of the commonwealth consider the relationship both with the crown and with the united kingdom. last year we saw barbados declaring itself a republic. prince charles was there to recognise and acknowledge the moment and is king, he is likely to face similar moments

in the future but for today, it's all about saying to those representatives that he is determined to continue to fulfil the legacy of his mother and to continue to head the commonwealth is fervently and as successfully as she did. ., fervently and as successfully as she did. . ~ ., , fervently and as successfully as she did. . , ., ~ fervently and as successfully as she did. . ~ ., , ., ~ india is observing a national day of mourning today in memory of queen elizabeth ii. our south asia correspondent yogita limaye is in delhi — yogita, how are people paying tribute to her majesty there? behind me you can see the indian flag which is flying at half mast and that is what is happening across the country today on this national day of mourning. no official entertainment events will be held. the prime minister has described the queen as a stalwart of our times, he says she personified dignity and

decency in public life. the opposition leader has said she was a much loved figure and someone who was a symbol of constancy and continuity. but the british royal family 's relationship with india was complicated because of the nature of colonial rule so you have had people asking today by the government is choosing to honour what they see as a symbol of colonial rule. but i've been speaking to lots of people, especially those who were born, the first generation born after independence and the words i think i have heard used most frequently are dignity and decency and one historian who i spoke to, i asked about this complicated and evolving relationship that india has had with the uk and the british royalfamily and the things she said to me was that you can condone the death of a queen, you can participate in that without condoning the suffering that was caused by colonialism so you see a load of that here today, mixed

reactions. you are not really seeing an outpouring of grief the way you have seen in other parts of the commonwealth but that is perhaps because the british monarch did not continue to be the head of state here as it did in some other parts of the commonwealth.— here as it did in some other parts of the commonwealth. thank you so much. the world of sport has also been paying tribute to the queen with some events scheduled for this weekend postponed. in horseracing — the queen's favourite sport — saturday's st leger race was cancelled and will instead take place today. the great north run is another of the sporting events that will go ahead today although organisers have said it will be taking place in a "subdued" form. alison freeman is in newcastle. good morning. good morning. this is going to be the 41st great north run and it will take place in a very different atmosphere. i can tell you

from having been here many years before, it is quieter and gentler today. the first time in about three years because of the pandemic it has got back on its normal route travelling from the central motorway here across the tyne bridge to south shields. it was cancelled in 2020 because of the pandemic and last year took a different route but this year took a different route but this year it is back on and with a different mood and it was felt it should go ahead by the organisers because the amount of money raised, £25 million, by the runners and it felt that that reflected the service the queen gave to the nation. some of the differences, a short service by faith leaders at the beginning of the run and i am joined by a couple of those now. mark roe, the bishop of those now. mark roe, the bishop of newcastle, the acting bishop. why do you think it's important the run takes place today? it’s do you think it's important the run takes place today?— takes place today? it's important for various _ takes place today? it's important for various reasons. _ takes place today? it's important for various reasons. it's - takes place today? it's important for various reasons. it's a - takes place today? it's important for various reasons. it's a huge i for various reasons. it's a huge community— for various reasons. it's a huge community event and part of the

overnight. there could be rumbles of thunder with the rain, behind it, blustery showers into the north—west of scotland but dry and mild and muqqy of scotland but dry and mild and muggy across the south. for monday, a three—way split, central areas, the weather front, damp with outbreaks of rain, to the north, its colour, sunshine and blustery showers in the north west but southern britain will be drier with sunshine and feeling quite warm with temperatures reaching 25 degrees. pressure in the north. that fresh air spread south as we move into tuesday, some showers building, high—pressure building, largely settled into the latter part of the week but turning cooler. welcome back to the palace of holyroodhouse here in edinburgh where the queen's coffin will arrive later today, ahead of a week a later today, ahead of a week of events leading up to her funeral. later today, ahead of a week

more of the security guards, the police and military are turning up at the gates of the palace play their part in this two days of history that will take place in edinburgh. thousands and thousands of members of the public are also heading this way. they will be watching it for themselves, wanting to see what happens. let's take a look at the detail. at around 10 o'clock this morning, the queen's coffin will be carried by six of her gamekeepers at balmoral, to a hearse. it will then make a six—hour,

175—miles through aberdeen and dundee to the throne room at the palace of holyroodhouse, here in edinburgh. on monday, the king and members of the royal family will accompany the coffin in procession to st giles' cathedral, where a service will be held. the queen will lie at rest at the cathedral for 24 hours, allowing members of the public to view her coffin. the following day, her coffin will be flown back from edinburgh to london, accompanied by her daughter, princess anne, where the queen's body will then return to buckingham palace. on wednesday, it will then traveljust over a mile from buckingham palace, to westminster hall, where the late monarch will lie in state for four days, with thousands expected to pay their respects. then, on monday, a week

tomorrow, the coffin will make the shortjourney from westminster hall to westminster abbey, ahead of the queen's state funeral at 11 am. that date has been declared a bank holiday by the new king. the final journey that afternoon will be to st george's chapel in windsor castle, where her coffin will be interred within the royal vault. let's get back to our royal correspondent sarah campbell at balmoral. we were saying earlier at those gates when we see the hearse leave that the reality of what has happened over the last couple of days will finally become clear.

although we have been talking about it for a couple of days it still does not seem real but that image will be there and you can see the police lining up and making final preparations, getting everything in place. press photographers have arrived all morning to make sure they are in position to get that first historic image of the queen leaving balmoralfor the first historic image of the queen leaving balmoral for the very last time. this is a place she laughed, spent so many months a year across so many years throughout her life, since she was a child she used to come here. so many memories here and when one thinks about her time at balmoral so many images are of her attending the braemar gathering held attending the braemar gathering held at the beginning of september, an absolute fixture and her calendar.

of wanting to be part of history. people are bringing their children and grandchildren here to lay flowers and say thank you and feel part of the national story. i was also thinking walking down here how this is affecting so many people in so many different ways. yesterday we saw the royal family and it was wonderful to see william and harry together with catherine and meghan and and also began to think about the people close to the queen who we never see, like her personal paige and her personal assistant and her personal dresser. members of staff but friends of the queen, and how they must feel now, with a void in their lives, in all our lives. what has been extorting the past 2a hours for me is to see the seamless
