good morning, welcome to breakfast withjon kay in edinburgh. and sally nugent at buckingham palace. our headlines today. thousands have queued through the night to file past the queen's coffin, as it lays at rest here at st giles�* cathedral. earlier in the evening, king charles stood vigil with his siblings as mourners paid their respects. the king will fly to belfast later as part of his tour around the uk. the queen's coffin will be flown from edinburgh this evening to spend the night here at buckingham palace.

in the past few hours, guards have been rehearsing for a procession which will take her majesty to westminster hall tomorrow where she will lie in state. this weekend's premier league matches between chelsea and liverpool and manchester united against leeds have been postponed due to concerns around police resources ahead of monday's funeral. good morning. welcome. it is an extraordinary sight. people have queued for six, seven hours through a cold edinburgh night to enter st giles�* cathedral and to file past the coffin of queen elizabeth ii. we have seen kids in pushchairs, we have seen kids in pushchairs, we have seen kids in pushchairs, we have seen people in wheelchairs, we have seen people in wheelchairs, we have seen people coming off shift overnight, people before they go to

work, all of them coming together to spend seconds inside paying the —— their respects. last night king charles and his siblings stood vigil, paying a personal tribute in the public eye. today the king flies to belfast as part of his tour around the uk ahead of the state funeral. so here and in london another day of ceremony and significance. as judith moritz reports. here�*s the new monarch. but he is also a grieving son. king charles must combine mourning with duty. and so a moment for private thought whilst in public sight, as the queen�*s four children stood vigil by her side. it completed a day that

was full of procedure. at the palace of holyroodhouse, the king took part in an historic ceremony of the keys, just as his mother, the queen, last did less then three months ago. and another duty, too — the inspection of the guard of honour formed by the royal regiment of scotland. the rank—and—file soldiers of 4th scots, like kevin and levi, will never forget it. it was once—in—a—lifetime. it was a huge honour, especially for me and for kevin, as well. to be part of this historic event where we had to see the king in person, where he passes us and inspects the whole regiment. it was a wonderful feeling for me. it was... i was even shaking in my kilt. just trying not to breathe too fast and stuff. trying to stay in the same kind of position, try to look professionaland, obviously, have a bit of discipline about you.

really, trying to keep your breath and stuff, it is a pretty crazy experience, to be honest. but, yes, it was a privilege. it is a pretty crazy experience, to be asked. but, yes, it was a privilege. the king has found strength amidst such sorrow. for moments like these, to watch as queen elizabeth left her official scottish residence for the last time and to follow behind with his siblings as they walked together behind the hearse and up the royal mile. it felt as though all of edinburgh had come out to sea, had come out to see, to witness history happening in real time, as the queen was carried inside st giles�* cathedral for a service of prayer and reflection. and so we gather to bid scotland�*s farewell to our late monarch,

whose life of service to the nation and the world we celebrate. and whose love for scotland was legendary. for everything there is a season and a time for every matter under heaven. a time to be born and a time to die. the music was of european, scottish and anglican tradition, and combined solemnity with thanksgiving. there were some very moving movements as the coffin moved in front of the choir on the way in as we were singing. one felt itjust fitted the words. some moments felt really quite electric, actually,

in the intensity of people listening, which is something that sometimes on big occasions is not quite the same. but, today, you could have heard a pin drop. the queen�*s coffin will remain under constant vigil here until it is moved to buckingham palace later today. had the queen died in london, she would not have been brought to lie at rest at st giles�* and these people would not have had the chance to visit her themselves. so many are expected to take the opportunity that around 4000 an hour will be filing past her coffin. at the front, we found dawn from manchester and catherine from london, both of whom thought they would have a better chance of seeing the coffin in edinburgh than at westminster. it felt really important, did it, to be here? i needed to come. we needed to pay our respects, to mourn our queen before we want to celebrate our king. so you have come from london to edinburgh? yes.

you know, i haven't really had to wait that long. five hours. i am not a royalist as such, but, still, the queen was a big part, was a big part, and i feel, like, weird that she is not there. it is like to learn a new way of life. inside the cathedral, their emotions rose to the surface as the women took in the enormity of what they were seeing. really surreal and more emotional than i could ever remember. it was actually one of the most emotional moments of my life. a relief now, because we have done it, we have paid our respects. for the king, the ceremonial commitment continued into the evening, speaking to the scottish parliament. my motherfelt, as i do, the greatest admiration for the scottish people. and receiving dignitaries at the palace of holyroodhouse. i am so grateful, i really am,

for all your kind thoughts and prayers on these awful occasions that we have to face. i know, you are dealing with so many public engagements and duties, as well, at a time of great personal loss. well, there we are. it is called duty. duty has underpinned everything. for the king, who is now following the late queen�*s example, and for her subjects, who feel they are owe her a debt of thanks. judith morris, bbc news, edinburgh. thanks is a word you hear a lot when you talk to people who came here to pay respects and they want to say thank you to queen elizabeth and thatis thank you to queen elizabeth and that is why some of them have waited all night to enter the cathedral and file past the coffin. 0nce all night to enter the cathedral and file past the coffin. once they are inside they are only there a short time. the queue has to move quite

quickly and constantly, because otherwise there would not be chancy people stopped too long. so they move in succession, and yet people are grateful for move in succession, and yet people are gratefulfor any time move in succession, and yet people are grateful for any time they get inside. they come out and say they value the moments of peace and tranquillity. just silent reflection, as they see it, inside. i spoke to people from preston earlier. they had watched bbc news at six o�*clock last night and seen the scenes in edinburgh and decided they needed to be here so got on a train, came to edinburgh and to the cathedral, queued six hours overnight, went inside, filed past the coffin, paid their respects. they were trying to get a coffee now before heading home. it is that kind of sacrifice of people�*s personal lives just to come here and experience this. alexandra can give

us an idea now in terms of how the process is working. how is it going there? i guess there is a lull right now. yes, good morning. when i looked at the queue last night it was long, it had gone back more than a mile from here and people were waiting hours, some had been waiting all dayjust to make sure they were at the front of the queue. when we came back this morning, people are waiting an hour, hour and a half. and thankfully the weather is not too bad. i am joined by people who have joined the queue. what is your name? my by people who have “oined the queue. what is your name?— what is your name? my name is brian and i have driven _

her brother and the queen with her handbag and the crown on. it was so sweet. handbag and the crown on. it was so sweet- hold — handbag and the crown on. it was so sweet. hold that _ handbag and the crown on. it was so sweet. hold that thought. _ piles of flowers, letters, candles and cards are growing by the minute around buckingham palace as people continue to share their memories and pay tribute to the queen. graham satchell has been speaking to some of the people who have made a specialjourney to london to pay their respects. green park next to buckingham palace, the flow of people is constant. thousands and thousands, every day, bringing flowers and other tributes to remember the queen. i don�*t live very far and i wanted to come with eddie and just be here, actually. it is something very special to come and see the atmosphere and feel it. i brought some flowers from the garden and, yes, i�*m very pleased i came. what did the queen mean to you?

i was lucky enough to have met her, actually. my dad was chief of the defence staff during the gulf war. she was always so charming and dignified. lovely smile. so, it was a great privilege. green park has been transformed by a sea of flowers. the dappled sunlight, the fragrant air has become a canvas for an outpouring of affection. some of the personal messages are printed and formal like this from 83—year—old beryl. others are much more familiar, but no less heartfelt. the messages are quite touching, aren�*t they? have you been reading them? yeah, especially the ones from all the schoolchildren who are paying all their respects. really kind messages out there. it is striking how many messages there are from children, and drawings — particularly of corgis. laura wanted to be here with her

nine—month old daughter grace. the queen was a really big part of our life and ijust know we are very lucky to have had the queen in our generation and we are excited to see what the king is going to do, but i really wanted her to see how loved the queen was. she is so...just incredibly loved. we were just saying we hope she knew. we hope she knew how loved she was. and you seemed to love her and you loved the paddington, didn�*t you? and there are a lot of paddington bears. a touching reminder of the queen�*s sketch at her platinum jubilee. some even have marmalade sandwiches. from darkest peru to uruguay and italy, there are messages here from all over the world. on my flight from virginia to the uk, there was breaking news from the uber driver and he said the queen has passed away. so as he was driving me to my hotel,

i was just completely shocked, because it was sad news. honestly, never thought that i would see the spectacular display of respect and condolence to a legend for 70 years. canadian tourists, you kind of thing, well, it won't affect me that much. but, when you are here among other people, to feel the passion, the emotions, what she brought to the country. it is overwhelming to see such a display of love. the royal park authorities have asked people not to leave teddy bears or balloons and to remove plastic packaging from flowers, if possible. the floral tributes here will be left in place until after the queen�*s funeral and then will be composted, but the messages will be collected and kept. a unique public record ofjust how much the queen meant. graham satchell, bbc news.

control over territory seized back from russia, in the north east near the city of kharkiv. 0ur correspondent hugo bachega is in kyiv. hugo, how significant are these gains? good morning. president zelensky saying more than 6000 square kilometres of territory had been liberated since the beginning of the month and to give a sense of how big this is, four times the size of greater london. in the east, we were talking about strategic towns and villages, places that had been invaded by russia at the very beginning. and we are seeing pictures of abandoned military vehicles, ammunition. it seems the russians were forced to flee some of those locations. in the east, ukrainian forces are working to consolidate control over those liberated villages. this morning,

the ukrainian military said ukrainian forces managed to push back russian troops also in the south. it is incredibly hard to independently verify those claims because of restrictions imposed on the work of journalists because of restrictions imposed on the work ofjournalists in the areas where this counteroffensive is happening, but we have heard from western officials who have confirmed ukraine is making gains as russia is pulling out forces, especially in the east of the country. last week, one of president zelensky�*s top advisers told me ukrainian forces would try to go ahead with the counteroffensive before winter. before the weather gets much worse. hugo, thanks. a firearms officer who shot dead an unarmed black man in south london last week has been suspended from the metropolitan police. chris kaba — a 24—year—old rapper — had been driving a car that police said had been linked to a firearms offence, but no weapons

companies and tfl who say they�*re expecting "unprecented" demand. passengers are being asked to avoid green park station altogether and to walk between locations as much as possible. the advice comes as analysts believe the number of people in the capital on sunday has already doubled compared to the week before. young people who have done amazing things in their community have been remembering the moment they met the queen. the queen�*s young leader award recognises and celebrates exceptional people aged 18—29 from across the commonwealth who are taking the lead in their communities. thinking what are the chances of this that i would be meeting her majesty to receive an award at the age of 23. so it was a spectacular moment. next, a met police officer who shot dead an unarmed black man has been suspended from duty. chris kaba died after a single shot was fired in streatham last monday. the met says the decision to suspend the officer is following careful

consideration of a number of factors, including the significant impact on public confidence, but says it "does not determine the outcome" of the investigation. in other news, battersea power station has revealed plans for a christmas ice rink and outdoor cinema. the redevelopment of the grade ii listed building has cost around £9 billion and will include homes, shops, bars and resturants. now let�*s take a look at how tfl services are looking. it�*s all looking good so far. now the weather with kate kinsella. good morning. it was a mild and humid night so a cloudy start this morning. we have a warm front which is heading south, that is bringing the cloud, the humidity but also some spells of rain as well. some of those could be quite heavy through the afternoon and temperatures cooler than yesterday at 20 celsius. this front is going to linger overnight so the cloud is going to stay with us, it�*s still on the mild side and we�*ll still see some outbreaks

of rain through the night. the minimum temperature dropping to 12 celsius. so a cloudy, damp start tomorrow morning, you can see that warm front down in the south but through wednesday it starts to drift away. so despite the rather damp, cloudy start, tomorrow we will start to see some sunshine developing through the afternoon and temperatures tomorrow in that sunshine just a degree or two warmer high pressure takes charge, variable amounts of cloud but it�*s a north—westerly flow. breezy friday and saturday and temperatures therefore feeling cooler. and just before we go, we�*ve been overwhelmed by your memories of your time with the queen like this one from montserrat of her mum maria at the epsom derby in 2018. what a great selfie. and if you�*d like to send us your pictures, videos orjust a memory you have you can email hellobbclondon@bbc. co. uk. that�*s it from me for now. i�*m back in half an hour.

good morning, welcome to breakfast. we are in edinburgh where people are filing past the coffin of queen elizabeth ii inside st giles�* cathedral. some of them overnight have waited for six hours. they queued for more than a mile at times just to spend a few moments inside paying their respects. the crown of scotland, dating from the time ofjames v, the oldest crown jewels in the united kingdom, rests on top of the coffin. people who have been waiting inside and outside, some before a night shift, some before going to school

or work, they have spoken about how extremely moving they found that moment of silence and serenity inside. jayne mccubbin is outside st giles�* cathedral with some people who have already been inside. good morning. let me point out, jon, you can see on that platform behind me there, we are right next to st giles�* cathedral and people have been filtering out this morning, they have stopped here, and they are taking a photo of the sunrise. they are taking photos of people that they have been queueing with, shared this experience and now they are friends. we have managed to gather together some people. all been deeply moved by the experience. i want to introduce elizabeth, tell me what you had done since 1130

yesterday morning. we what you had done since 1130 yesterday morning.— what you had done since 1130 yesterday morning. what you had done since 1130 esterda morninu. . , ., yesterday morning. we came up on the train, from glasgow, _ yesterday morning. we came up on the train, from glasgow, i— yesterday morning. we came up on the train, from glasgow, i have _ yesterday morning. we came up on the train, from glasgow, i have been i yesterday morning. we came up on the train, from glasgow, i have been in i train, from glasgow, i have been in the isle of lewis when i heard the news. i came up and i was on the royal mile and i saw the procession this way and then i saw the coffin come this way, and going back again into st giles�* and i had the service outside. and then i queued up from five bm. it was a huge queue and it went on and on. i had my guitar, i was playing some hymns that people could join along. eventually got here and i loved meeting the people in the queue. you here and i loved meeting the people in the queue-— in the queue. you loved it so much that ou in the queue. you loved it so much that you went _ in the queue. you loved it so much that you went round _ in the queue. you loved it so much that you went round again? - in the queue. you loved it so much that you went round again? show i in the queue. you loved it so much. that you went round again? show as your —— your wristbands. i that you went round again? show as your -- your wristbands.— that you went round again? show as your -- your wristbands. i have been throu~h your -- your wristbands. i have been through four — your -- your wristbands. i have been through four times _ your -- your wristbands. i have been through four times now. _ your -- your wristbands. i have been through four times now. there i your -- your wristbands. i have been through four times now. there is i through four times now. there is such a lovely _

through four times now. there is such a lovely atmosphere - through four times now. there is such a lovely atmosphere here, | through four times now. there is i such a lovely atmosphere here, calm, quiet, full of kindness. i wanted to show you this film of what happened yesterday when we came down to speaks a lot more people, everybody has a personal story. they came in their thousands. excuse me, please. we both signed an oath of allegiance. we pledged our allegiance to the queen. we really needed to be here today. are you 0k? there were tears. yes, thank you. you wouldn�*t want to be anywhere else? no, not today. but chat to anyone here and it was easy to find joy. my mum is like a doppelganger for the queen and she loved horses. we took her to the royal windsor horse show one year and i somehow or another lost my mum and i saw this lady ahead of us who was the double of my mum, she was wearing the same coat. i was running up to her, "mum, mum!" and these obviously security guards stepped in front

of her and it was actually the queen, not my mum. how did she take it? she just turned and she smiled and she gave me a wave and she went on. everyone here has their own memory of the queen, some more direct, more personal than others. i can see you�*ve brought paddington. chloe�*s papa used to guard the queen and he was always telling us stories of when he was in the scotch guard. and he�*s up in fort william just now, he couldn�*t make the journey so it�*s important for us to be there and say goodbye on his behalf. for the moment his family passed the queen�*s coffin, chloe�*s granddad had texted a personal message. say goodbye for me, so proud to have met her and deserved her. say goodbye for me, so proud to have met her and served her. thinking of her today, god bless her, long live the king. give him a good cheer. what is your papa, your granddad�*s name? papa bill. for every person here there were more like papa william bell who would have loved to have witnessed this moment

if only they could. it's my grandmother's ring, who is not with us any more. my mum's 90. she wouldn't have been able to do this. with you in spirit? yeah. she's been looking out for us. | yeah, she's watching the telly. she�*s watching the tv looking out for you! what�*s her name? joan. hello, mum! i made it! after queueing from early morning, they all eventually made it. to bear witness to this moment. jo and alan were amongst the very first. very emotional, yeah. there�*s quite a lot of tears in there. it's a really strange thing, it's hard to believe that she is in there. and i was lucky enough as well, i had mind up that i wanted to do a final salute, so i did that today to her as well before i left. and what was a nice touch was that the crown, they have got the crown on top of the coffin, which was a really nice thing to see. the world was watching. scotland has been proud to rise to the occasion.

i think heading into the future we will probably be asked where we were on this day so we don�*t want to miss out. nobody wants to miss it. you just have to see the crowds. people want to come and appreciate what queen elizabeth has done for us. you�*re emotional, aren�*t you? very much, very much. it was absolutely wonderful, just to get in, to say how much she's done for the country and binded us all together. i must say even the queues of people are wonderful, just standing, the whole atmosphere of the place. because it's so wonderful to have everyone talking to one another in a friendship way. you know, it's lovely. and perhaps this is the legacy most valued here because even as night fell, still they came, to say goodbye to a monarch who brought so many of us together. that is exactly true, the queen did

bring people together, didn�*t she? this is nicola and linda, neighbours, who made the decision just yesterday to come along. why? well, i think just yesterday to come along. why? well, ithink it just yesterday to come along. why? well, i think it is a one—off occasion that will never happen in my lifetime again and a chilly, i�*m not saying i like all the royal family, but the queen has been a special person. find family, but the queen has been a special person-— special person. and this was a really special _ special person. and this was a really special occasion? it i special person. and this was a | really special occasion? it was, special person. and this was a l really special occasion? it was, i think it is _ really special occasion? it was, i think it is a _ really special occasion? it was, i think it is a mark _ really special occasion? it was, i think it is a mark of _ really special occasion? it was, i think it is a mark of respect i really special occasion? it was, i think it is a mark of respect for i think it is a mark of respect for what _ think it is a mark of respect for what she — think it is a mark of respect for what she has done for our part of scotland — what she has done for our part of scotland and the united kingdom. you had to be scotland and the united kingdom. gm. had to be here? scotland and the united kingdom. you had to be here? inside _ scotland and the united kingdom. you had to be here? inside the _ had to be here? inside the cathedral. _ had to be here? inside the cathedral, it _ had to be here? inside the cathedral, it was - had to be here? inside the| cathedral, it was absolutely beautiful and sombre and just a lovely— beautiful and sombre and just a lovely experience. and beautiful and sombre and 'ust a lovely experience. beautiful and sombre and 'ust a lovel exerience. . , lovely experience. and everybody has even come out _ lovely experience. and everybody has even come out smiling _ lovely experience. and everybody has even come out smiling or _ lovely experience. and everybody has even come out smiling or with - lovely experience. and everybody has even come out smiling or with tears, | even come out smiling or with tears, let me introduce isabel from spain and bruce. they have not come too far, bruce? and i have seen men and

indeed, jayne, wonderful stories. jayne was hearing from people, people were saying that they made the decision on the spur of the moment. during tea time, last night, during the night, theyjust got up and had to be had. people changing plans, changing holidays to experience this and pay tribute. a lot of people have told us that they find it really useful when we run through what is going to happen on the day ahead so you can plan, you know what it is happening, they want to be aware of what is happening. here is your guide for the next few hours. the queen's coffin will leave st giles' cathedral this afternoon, with a procession travelling through edinburgh. an hour later, the princess royal, princess anne will accompany the queen's coffin on a flight from edinburgh airport.

they will arrive at raf northolt, in west london this evening. from there the queen's coffin will travel by road to buckingham palace, where it will be met by king charles iii, the queen consort and other members of the royal family. it will then be taken to the bow room and watched over by a rota of chaplains. tomorrow, moving to the westminster hall at the palace of westminster to lie in state and that where we are expecting seems similar to here at st giles' cathedral would be processing passed the coffin. before he is at buckingham palace, king charles and the queen consort are heading to belfast as part of their tour of all four uk nations. john maguire is at hillsborough castle this morning,

good morning, welcome to county down, hillsborough castle, the official royal residence in northern ireland. as we have seen in other locations across the uk, look at these floral tributes. the cellophane has been removed and the flowers are standing up, they are so tightly packed. it gives you an idea of the strength and depth of feeling we have seen here. lots of notes, handwritten, many of them, pictures drawn by children, beautiful, heartfelt sentiments. the king and the queen consort will come here later on today, they will fly into belfast, travelling by road, we are half an hour south of belfast. we will be expecting people to line the streets certainly in hillsboro village, people have started to arrive. they will meet senior

politicians here at hillsborough, including the new first minister in his first couple of days in office. then they will meet leaders of all faiths for a prayer service reflecting on her majesty's life. they will then be reunited with the queen's coffin at buckingham palace backin queen's coffin at buckingham palace back in london. a full programme ahead for the king and queen consort. certainly talking to people here over the last couple of days, it has been fascinating to hear what they think about the queen, her majesty the queen. what do you think she meant it to the people here? if she meant it to the people here? if you consider that northern ireland has been in existence for 101 years,

1921 the rest of the island of ireland became independent from the uk, but northern ireland remain inside the united kingdoms for 70 of those 101 years, the queen has been the head of state. so you can see here her loss has been profoundly felt. individuals and organisations laying their tributes here, the loss is particularly in the unionist community. people who identify as irish in the nationalist community, they would view their her passing as part of european history. there have been lots of tributes to what they say is the queen's very personal and powerful contributions in the peace process. i powerful contributions in the peace nrocess. . ~' powerful contributions in the peace nrocess. ., ,, g, powerful contributions in the peace nrocess. ., ,, process. i talked to people yesterday _ process. i talked to people yesterday about _ process. i talked to people yesterday about that - process. i talked to people i yesterday about that famous handshake with martin mcguinness and how much that meant to people in all communities. thinking they're about the challenges ahead for the king,

what are those? king the challenges ahead for the king, what are those?— what are those? king charles has been on his _ what are those? king charles has been on his own _ what are those? king charles has been on his own peace _ what are those? king charles has been on his own peace process, l what are those? king charles has - been on his own peace process, queen elizabeth ii made two particularly important gestures, the handshake with the late former ira leader martin mcguinness in 2012, before that her state visit to the republic of ireland in 2011. made all the royal remarkable because her chorus —— cousin lord mount batten was murdered by the ira in 1979. prince charles was particularly close to lord mountbatten, and over the last few decades prince charles as he was then was a regular visitor to ireland, and he also shook the hand of another senior sinn fein politician, gerry adams, in the irish republic a few years later.

another symbolic handshake. people are hoping and expecting that he will continue the peace building role in his time as a sovereign. thank you forjoining us. an incredible legacy for her majesty the queen in northern ireland and one which will be taken up now by the king as he makes his first journey here is king with his wife the queen consort later today. back to you, sally. thank you. following their visit to belfast, the king and camilla will return here to buckingham palace where later this evening they will meet the queen's coffin as it arrives on a flight from edinburgh. it will then be taken to the bow room and watched over by a rota of chaplains. tomorrow afternoon, the coffin will be taken to westminster hall, where the queen will lie in state for four days. i want to bring you some incredible images that we recorded a couple of

hours ago before sunrise here at the palace of the full military rehearsal for that journey. palace of the full military rehearsal for thatjourney. this palace of the full military rehearsalfor thatjourney. this is going on between 3am and 6am. this is the opportunity to properly practice that procession. and being here in that moment was quite incredible. very dark, the noise was phenomenal. the drums were so loud, deafening, in fact. phenomenal. the drums were so loud, deafening, infact. no phenomenal. the drums were so loud, deafening, in fact. no other sound apart from that. you do get an indication of what it is going to be like when that procession actually happens. crowds will be able to watch. the cortege makes the journey through central london — along queen's gardens, the mall, horse guards and horse guards arch, whitehall, parliament street, parliament square and new palace yard. the procession will include the king and members of the royal family, guns will be fired at hyde park and big ben will toll.

tens of thousands of people are expected to pay their respects to the queen in person during the four days she will be lying in state. tim muffett is at lambeth bridge where the queue starts. people are being warned to be prepared for a long wait, aren't they? yes, we are on the south side of the river thames, the palace of westminster behind me where the lying in state will begin from 5pm tomorrow. the last time a member of the royal family lay in state here was in 2002, the queen mother, and 200,000 people attended that. it is widely expected that numbers will exceed that. the queues will be very, very long. they will be no photography, people are asked to dress appropriately as they go into westminster hall itself, and later

on today we are expected to hear more detail about the precise route of the queue. for now some people have started queueing over here, let's have a chat to some of them, grace and vanessa. thank you for talking to us. why were you so keen to get here at what is effectively the start of the queue? innate to get here at what is effectively the start of the queue? we want to come and pay _ the start of the queue? we want to come and pay our _ the start of the queue? we want to come and pay our respects - the start of the queue? we want to come and pay our respects to - the start of the queue? we want to come and pay our respects to our l come and pay our respects to our queen. she has done enough for the country and beyond, and the commonwealth. she is really much into commonwealth. so when i heard about her death, i was so shocked. i said, i will come and pay my respects and say goodbye to her, and rest in peace. you respects and say goodbye to her, and rest in peace-— rest in peace. you have been here overnight. — rest in peace. you have been here overnight, such _ rest in peace. you have been here overnight, such dedication, - rest in peace. you have been here overnight, such dedication, why . rest in peace. you have been here l overnight, such dedication, why was it important to be there? mi; overnight, such dedication, why was it important to be there?— it important to be there? my father was in the irish _ it important to be there? my father was in the irish guard _ it important to be there? my father was in the irish guard and - it important to be there? my father was in the irish guard and he - it important to be there? my father was in the irish guard and he did i it important to be there? my father was in the irish guard and he did to j was in the irish guard and he did to the coronation when her majesty went

thundery rain will depart from the south coast, sunny spells and pleasant. the cooler weather will spread southwards, dry overnight and turning chillier. we'll have plenty more from here at buckingham palace and from jon in edinburgh throughout the morning. now it's time to get the news, travel and weather where you are. hello, good morning, this is bbc london. i'm frankie mccamley. as we've been hearing, from tomorrow, the queen will lie in state at wesminster hall and thousands are expected to descend on the capital to pay their respects. it's led to a warning from rail companies and tfl who say they're expecting unprecented demand. passengers are being asked to avoid green park station altogether and to walk between locations as much as possible. the advice comes as analysts believe

the number of people in the capital on sunday has already doubled compared to the week before. young people who have done amazing things in their community have been remembering the moment they met the queen. the queen's young leader award recognises and celebrates exceptional people aged 18—29 from across the commonwealth who are taking the lead in their communities. i was thinking what are the chances of this that i would be meeting her majesty to receive an award at the age of 23. so it was a spectacular moment. met police officer who shot dead an unarmed black man has been suspended from duty. chris kaba died after a single shot was fired in streatham last monday. the met says the decision to suspend the officer is following careful consideration of a number of factors, including the significant impact on public confidence but says it does not determine the outcome of the investigation. in other news, battersea power

station has revealed plans for a christmas ice rink and outdoor cinema. the redevelopment of the grade ii listed building has cost around £9 billion and will include homes, shops, bars and resturants. now lets take a look at how tfl services are looking. now the weather. good morning. it was a mild and humid night so a cloudy start this morning. we have a warm front which is heading south, that is bringing the cloud, the humidity but also some spells of rain as well. some of those could be quite heavy through the afternoon and temperatures cooler than yesterday at 20 celsius. this front is going to linger overnight so the cloud is going to stay with us, it's still on the mild side and we'll still see some outbreaks of rain through the night. the minimum temperature dropping to 12 celsius. so a cloudy, damp start tomorrow morning, you can see that warm front down in the south but through wednesday it

starts to drift away. so despite the rather damp, cloudy start, tomorrow we will start to see some sunshine developing through the afternoon and temperatures tomorrow in that sunshine just a degree or two warmer at 22 celsius. it is going to stay largely dry through much of this week, high pressure takes charge, variable amounts of cloud but it's a north—westerly flow. breezy friday and saturday and temperatures therefore feeling cooler. and just before we go, we've been overwhelmed by your memories of your time with the queen. like this one from montserrat of her mum maria at the epsom derby in 2018. what a great selfie. if you'd like to send us your memories, email hellobbclondon@bbc.co.uk. i'm back in half an hour. good morning, welcome to breakfast withjon kay in edinburgh and sally nugent at buckingham palace.

0ur headlines today. thousands have queued through the night to file past the queen's coffin, as it lays in rest here at st giles' cathedral. earlier in the evening, king charles stood vigil with his siblings as mourners paid their respects. the king will fly to belfast later as part of his tour around the uk. the queen's coffin will be flown from edinburgh this evening to spend the night here at buckingham palace. in the past few hours, guards have been rehearsing for a procession which will take her majesty to westminster hall tomorrow, where she will lie in state. this weekend's premier league matches between chelsea and liverpool and manchester united against leeds have been postponed due to concerns around police resources ahead of monday's funeral. it's tuesday, 13th of september.

another day of history and another day of extraordinary pictures to come. we are outside st giles' cathedral in the old town of edinburgh and you are looking at the front entrance and what you will see in the next few seconds is people walking up the steps, entering the cathedral, and, inside, they will file past the coffin of queen elizabeth ii. some of the people entering the cathedral now, they have queued for hours. we spoke to people this morning who waited through the night in cold conditions up through the night in cold conditions up to six hours, the queue was a mile long at times. just to go in and silently, for seconds, pay respects. last night, king charles and his siblings stood vigil around

the coffin. that was another moment of profound solemnity in public. but also revealed the personal pain of what they have been going through. later the king will head to belfast as part of a tour of uk nations ahead of the state funeral next monday. we look at the significance and ceremony. here's the new monarch. but he is also a grieving son. king charles must combine mourning with duty. and so a moment for private thought whilst in public sight, as the queen's four children stood vigil by her side. it completed a day that was full of procedure. at the palace of holyroodhouse, the king took part in the historic ceremony of the keys,

just as his mother, the queen, last did less then three months ago. and another duty, too — the inspection of the guard of honour formed by the royal regiment of scotland. the rank—and—file soldiers of lath scots, like kevin and levi, will never forget it. it was once—in—a—lifetime. it was a huge honour, especially for me and for kevin, as well. to be part of this historic event where we had to see the king in person, where he passes us and inspects the whole regiment. it was... i was even shaking in my kilt. just trying not to breathe too fast and stuff. trying to stay in the same kind of position, try to look professionaland, obviously, have a bit of discipline about you. really, trying to keep your breath and stuff, it is a pretty crazy

experience, to be asked. but, yes, it was a privilege. the king has found strength amidst such sorrow. for moments like these, to watch as queen elizabeth left her official scottish residence for the last time and to follow behind with his siblings as they walked together behind the hearse and up the royal mile. it felt as though all of edinburgh had come out to see, to witness history happening in real time, as the queen was carried inside st giles' cathedral for a service of prayer and reflection. and so we gather to bid scotland's farewell to our late monarch, whose life of service to the nation and the world we celebrate. and whose love for scotland was legendary.

for everything there is a season and a time for every matter under heaven. a time to be born and a time to die. the music was of european, scottish and anglican tradition, and combined solemnity with thanksgiving. there were some very moving moments as the coffin moved in front of the choir on the way in as we were singing. 0ne felt itjust fitted the words. some moments felt really quite electric, actually, in the intensity of people listening, which is something that sometimes on big occasions is not quite the same. but, today, you could have heard a pin drop. the queen's coffin will remain

under constant vigil here until it is moved to buckingham palace later today. had the queen died in london, she would not have been brought to lie at rest at st giles' and these people would not have had the chance to visit her themselves. so many are expected to take the opportunity that around 4000 an hour will be filing past her coffin. at the front, we found dawn from manchester and catherine from london, both of whom thought they would have a better chance of seeing the coffin in edinburgh than at westminster. it felt really important, did it, to be here? i needed to come. we needed to pay our respects, to mourn our queen before we want to celebrate our king. so you have come from london to edinburgh? yes. you know, i haven't really had to wait that long. five hours. i am not a royalist as such,

but, still, the queen was a big part, and i feel, like, weird that she is not there. it is like to learn a new way of life. inside the cathedral, their emotions rose to the surface as the women took in the enormity of what they were seeing. really surreal and more emotional than i could ever remember. it was actually one of the most emotional moments of my life. a relief now, because we have done it, we have paid our respects. for the king, the ceremonial commitment continued into the evening, speaking to the scottish parliament. my motherfelt, as i do, the greatest admiration for the scottish people. and receiving dignitaries at the palace of holyroodhouse. i am so grateful, i really am, for all your kind thoughts - and prayers on these awful occasions that we have to face. i know, but you are dealing

with so many public engagements and duties, as well, at a time of great personal loss. well, there we are. it is called duty. duty has underpinned everything. for the king, who is now following the late queen's example, and for her subjects, who feel they are owe her a debt of thanks. judith morris, bbc news, edinburgh. and thousands of those subjects have been queueing overnight. the scottish— been queueing overnight. the scottish government said the length of the _ scottish government said the length of the queue wait at the moment is about— of the queue wait at the moment is about two— of the queue wait at the moment is about two hours. for of the queue wait at the moment is about two hours.— of the queue wait at the moment is about two hours. for people waiting to net into about two hours. for people waiting to get into the _ about two hours. for people waiting to get into the saint _ about two hours. for people waiting to get into the saint charles'. - about two hours. for people waiting to get into the saint charles'. you i to get into the saint charles'. you can see the latest people entering. they have been through a security system and picked up a ticket, given instructions about what they can and

cannot take in with them. we can see somebody in a high fizzjacket, may be on his way to work or finish day night shift. we have seen ambulance workers, police officers, security guards from nightclubs, who wanted to come here before or after work to pay their own silent tribute inside the cathedral. we are expecting the queues will get longer now than sun has risen and the day begun. special access arrangements for people who are struggling to queue up all night. because you cannot sit down in the queue, itjust keeps moving all the time. i bet the authorities in london will be learning a bit about how edinburgh is coping with this moment ahead of four days of the queen officially lying in state at westminster hall, head of the

state funeral next week. alexander mackenzie is at the entrance to the cathedral. she is with some people who have queued all night to get a sense of why they have made the journey. many people queueing overnight and many came early yesterday and some people queued all day yesterday because they felt it was important to come here to edinburgh and pay respects to the late queen. many have come from around the country, from further afield, saying they thought it was probably easier to come to edinburgh rather than london where the queues are probably going to be longer. also, they wanted to come to st giles' cathedral and see where the queen was laying at rest here. the queue has got quite a lot quieter. people are coming through

more quickly. the scottish government said about two hours but, at the moment, it is probably quicker. people are collecting wristbands and walking up here and going through an airport style security. the security is strict and people having to throw away food and liquid items before going inside. i have been talking to people in the queue. 0ne have been talking to people in the queue. one woman with a three—month—old baby who said he will not remember anything about this but wanted to bring him and to be able to tell him even at three months old he came to pay respects to the late queen. and also seeing children who left helensburgh at 3am to come through with their dad. they have just to come through with their dad. they havejust come to come through with their dad. they have just come out of the cathedral and are heading back and hoping to get to school with a story to tell classmates this morning. i am joined by a family from edinburgh. julie,

where i was a student, we had a lunch for the queen because she was the head of the college, for the goldenjubilee. you the head of the college, for the golden jubilee.— the head of the college, for the golden jubilee. you did not expect this to be happening _ golden jubilee. you did not expect this to be happening in _ golden jubilee. you did not expect this to be happening in edinburgh. j this to be happening in edinburgh. we are very lucky that for once it is happening in scotland, the action is happening in scotland, the action is in scotland. the is happening in scotland, the action is in scotland.— is in scotland. the boys will go to school later? _ is in scotland. the boys will go to school later? yes, _ is in scotland. the boys will go to school later? yes, you _ is in scotland. the boys will go to school later? yes, you are - is in scotland. the boys will go to | school later? yes, you are heading back to school. i hope you get in quickly. the queue might get busier as it has got lighter. more people coming on their way to work. we expect it to get busy. people have a few more hours as the coffin lays at rest inside the cathedraljust around the corner from here. thank you. people have said how the atmosphere changes while they stand in the queue. to start with, people are glad to be here, chatting,

sharing stories. as they approach the cathedral, gradually becomes more sombre and they wait in silence and then proceed with him. the deputy lieutenant of aberdeenshire, dr fiona kennedy is here. you are inside yesterday. new brought the order of service. that must have been a special service? it must have been a special service? it was an enormously special service. beautiful in every way. it was respectful, the music was glorious. the choir. it was otherworldly. so beautiful. it was breathtaking. it just felt perfect. there was a beautiful gaelic song sung by karen matheson. the readings were lovely.

there was a feeling of warmth and love for her majesty. you can feel it all around. there is a sense of calm about edinburgh and in aberdeenshire, where i am from, neighbours in ballater, they are neighbours in ballater, they are neighbours of balmoral, so the cortege to go through early, such a feeling of loss, but love. really forand feeling of loss, but love. really for and absolutely extraordinary and remarkable lady. its, for and absolutely extraordinary and remarkable lady.— remarkable lady. a lady you have performed _ remarkable lady. a lady you have performed for. _ remarkable lady. a lady you have performed for. she _ remarkable lady. a lady you have performed for. she awarded - remarkable lady. a lady you have performed for. she awarded a . remarkable lady. a lady you havej performed for. she awarded a uv remarkable lady. a lady you have - performed for. she awarded a uv obe. performed for. she awarded a uv 0be. i guess like a lot of people you feel that connection? —— awarded you. i feelthat connection? -- awarded ou. ., , feelthat connection? -- awarded ou. , ., , feelthat connection? -- awarded ou. ., ., you. i was privileged to be awarded an obe at holyrood _ you. i was privileged to be awarded an obe at holyrood palace - you. i was privileged to be awarded an obe at holyrood palace at - you. i was privileged to be awarded an obe at holyrood palace at the l you. i was privileged to be awarded l an obe at holyrood palace at the end an 0be at holyrood palace at the end of the royal mile. there were a lot of the royal mile. there were a lot of people. goodness knows how many

in single figures. fog patches clearing. quite a breeze in northern scotland. heavy and thundery rain around the english channel coast. that will depart. sunny here. pleasant in the sunshine in the afternoon. cooler in the north and that will spread southwards through the rest of the week. showers in the north and east. the night will turn cold. we'll have more from jon in edinburgh and sally at buckingham palace throughout the morning. now though let's take a look at some of today's other news. britain's unemployment rate fell to its lowest since 1974 at 3.6% in the three months tojuly, according to the office for national statistics. our business correspondent ben boulos has more details. what can you tell us? we get these updates on the state of the labour market and pay and employment every month and this covers between may to july. what is interesting is when you look at the wage details.

because it shows in real terms, when you account for average price rises, regular pay, on average, in real terms was down 2.8%. people will... a lot of people may have had pay rises but the crucial thing is average prices are going up at a faster rate than pay might be. you will remember inflation is currently at 10.1% which means on average things are costing more than 10% more than a year ago. if your pay has not gone up by 10% it means in real terms it has fallen. these figures confirm that. the drop in real pay is not as steep as the last time we got the data for a three month period. in that period it fell 3% and this time it is down 2.8% but it is a fall nonetheless. the other detail we have was that unemployment

fell, unemployment down. i have not got the figures, i am trying to find them. unemployment was down. also, them. unemployment was down. also, the number ofjob vacancies fell. that is important. the number of vacancies falling was important because we have seen the problems that was causing when it was difficult to filljobs. that was causing when it was difficult to fill jobs. there that was causing when it was difficult to filljobs. there were staff shortages in places like airports and we saw the problems that was creating. that is a snapshot of the state of the labour market as it stands. thanks. a firearms officer who shot dead an unarmed black man in south london last week has been suspended from the metropolitan police. chris kaba — a 24—year—old rapper — had been driving a car that police said had been linked to a firearms offence, but no weapons were found in the vehicle. the independent office for police conduct has launched a homicide investigation. president zelensky is urging ukraine's western allies to speed up deliveries of weapons systems to help his troops consolidate control over territory

seized back from russia, in the north east near the city of kharkiv. our correspondent hugo bachega is in kyiv. how significant is this? these are the most significant changes on the front lines in many months since the spring when the russian forces had to leave the kyiv region. these are accumulated setbacks for russia because they had been under russian occupation since the beginning of the war and videos and information from occupied areas that have been liberated show military vehicles, ammunition, equipment left behind. these are signs russian troops had to abandon those areas even though the russians are saying their troops are regrouping elsewhere in the east. the ukrainians say troops are

now working to consolidate, control over liberated areas in the east of the country. we had an update from the country. we had an update from the military saying troops had pushed back russian forces in the south of the country. it is hard to independently verify those reports because of restrictions imposed on the work of journalists because of restrictions imposed on the work ofjournalists in the areas where the counteroffensive is happening. last night president zelensky said the operation continued and he said ukraine and the west must strengthen cooperation to defeat, in his words, russian terror. ., ., ~' to defeat, in his words, russian terror. ., ., ,, , ., ., terror. hugo, thank you. the port of felixstowe — terror. hugo, thank you. the port of felixstowe has _ terror. hugo, thank you. the port of felixstowe has warned _ terror. hugo, thank you. the port of felixstowe has warned of _ terror. hugo, thank you. the port of felixstowe has warned of disruption | felixstowe has warned of disruption after notice from unite of a second strike in a dispute over pay. almost 2,000

to pay his respects. on friday, i went to buckingham palace. yeah. and like a normal person, because i am a normal person! with the hat. yeah, to live this situation, because i think for sure we will remember this for the rest of our life. time to get the news where you are. hello, good morning, this is bbc london, i'm frankie mccamley. as we've been hearing, from tomorrow the queen will lie in state at wesminster hall and thousands more are expected to descend on the capital to pay their respects. it's led to a warning from rail

companies and tfl who say they're expecting "unprecented" demand. passengers are being asked to avoid green park station altogether and to walk between locations as much as possible. the advice comes as analysts believe the number of people in the capital on sunday has already doubled compared to the week before. young people who have done amazing things in their community have been remembering the moment they met the queen. the queen's young leader award recognises and celebrates exceptional people aged 18—29 from across the commonwealth who are taking the lead in their communities. i was thinking what are the chances of this that i would be meeting her majesty to receive an award at the age of 23. so it was a spectacular moment. next, a met police officer who shot dead an unarmed black man has been suspended from duty. chris kaba died after a single shot was fired in streatham last monday. the met says the decision to suspend the officer is following careful

consideration of a number of factors, including the significant impact on public confidence — but says it "does not determine the outcome" of the investigation. he should have been suspended anyway, we shouldn't be grateful that he is suspended. it was a criminal investigation, if it was any otherjob and you will be criminally investigated you would be suspended immediately. now the weather with kate kinsella. good morning. it was a mild and humid night so a cloudy start this morning. we have a warm front which is heading south, that is bringing the cloud, the humidity but also some spells of rain as well. some of those could be quite heavy through the afternoon and temperatures cooler than yesterday at 20 celsius. this front is going to linger overnight so the cloud is going to stay with us, it's still on the mild side and we'll still see some outbreaks of rain through the night. the minimum temperature dropping to 12 celsius. so a cloudy, damp start tomorrow morning, you can see that warm

front down in the south but through wednesday it starts to drift away. so despite the rather damp, cloudy start, tomorrow we will start to see some sunshine developing through the afternoon and temperatures tomorrow in that sunshine just a degree or two warmer at 22 celsius. it is going to stay largely dry through much of this week, high pressure takes charge, variable amounts of cloud but it's a north—westerly flow. breezy friday and saturday and temperatures therefore feeling cooler. and just before we go, we've been overwhelmed by your memories of your time with the queen like this one from montserrat of her mum maria at the epsom derby in 2018. what a great selfie. and if you'd like to send us your memories email hellobbclondon@bbc.co.uk. that's it from me for now. i'm back in an hour.

state funeral on monday. the queen's coffin will leave st giles' cathedral this afternoon, with a procession travelling through edinburgh. an hour later, the princess royal, princess anne will accompany the queen's coffin on a flight from edinburgh airport. they will arrive at raf northolt, in west london this evening. from there the queen's coffin will travel by road to buckingham palace, where it will be met by king charles iii, the queen consort and other members of the royal family. it will then be taken to the bow room and watched over by a rota of chaplains. it will then be taken to westminster hall for the lying in state to begin. king charles will end the day in london, he begins today in edinburgh but in between he is heading to northern ireland. he wants to visit all four nations of the united kingdom, his united kingdom, before the state funeral next week. john maguire reports from

belfast. in northern ireland and across belfast, different communities have a very different relationship with the crown and with the woman who wore it for 70 years. here in the shankill road, this unionist mural created for the platinum jubilee this summer is now a memorial. adding his tribute is leo mcgregor who served 16 years in the british army. well, the thing is, when you take the oath of allegiance, you know, you take that oath for her majesty to serve and protect her. and, yeah, it hits home to military people. the military family is a massive big family, and i think, you know, it's hit hard. the queen was a constant in people's lives across the generations. she was one really amazing woman and she always had a good fashion sense about her. i loved always seeing every outfit, every time we have seen her on the tv, my granny loved her.

and honestly it will not be the same looking on the tv no more not seeing her. it will be terrible, it's a sad, sad thing. people of the shankill road are very loyal, very loyal and royal. tracey and her daughter isabel come here every day. a mark of respect for the queen and to show support for the new king. i am confident. he's had, he's had his whole life being trained by a woman who was strong, very independent, and, you know, i think he will do a good job, yeah, i do. the queen reigned through some of the most turbulent and violent years of the united kingdom's post—war history. but throughout worked to build bridges. so what was that day like, claire? it felt like a hugely political event, and the lyric was going to be in the spotlight for something which could actually be a seismic shift for these islands. we were really proud, actually, to be chosen as the venue for it. in 2012, she came here

to the lyric theatre and met martin mcguinness, the former ira commander who had become northern ireland's deputy leader. a four second handshake was momentous. i felt that this was going to be something that i could tell my children about. small gestures mean a lot here. shaking someone's hand is such a small thing to do and yet it meant a huge amount to the people here i think on all sides. and everybody benefited from what happened that day. it was a significant gesture, so it was something that i actually wanted to visually lay my eyes upon. many nationalists who want a united ireland in respect of the queen ireland respect the queen for the person she was, even if they are opposed to the monarchy itself. today i wish to record the value and respect i place on the significant contribution queen elizabeth made to the advancement of peace and to reconciliation between the different traditions

on our island and between ireland and britain during the years of the peace process. it is appropriate that this is rightfully recognised in this chamber today. i recognise that she was a courageous and gracious leader. when the late deputy first minister martin mcguinness and i met with queen elizabeth in belfast in 2012, during her diamondjubilee and thereafter at windsor castle during the state visit of the president of ireland michael d higgins, in 2014, herwarmth, kindness and unfailing courtesy towards us was appreciated. so as he returns to northern ireland today as its monarch for the first time, the king will be following a legacy respected by so many people right across this land. the new king making it a priority for him to travel around the whole of the united kingdom, meeting

people in each of the four nations. you can see here the crowds are growing again, it comes in waves, really. when we first got here this morning at 5am before the programme started, people had been waiting through the night, and it was cold here overnight, it was chilly. they had no complaints, they had just waited, making new friends and this morning they are going somebody going in in a wheelchair at the moment. a lot of young people going in before school starts. this is quite a moment, notjust in the precinct around the cathedral, but it is the streets around it, right across edinburgh. even on the roads, somebody said to me yesterday, just driving at the moment, people are being a bit nicer to one another, kinder to one another, there is a peace and gentleness that we don't experience anywhere in the uk on a routine basis. it feels like

pressure has been released and people are being tied to one another. that is the situation from another. that is the situation from a very busy and moving situation. let's go to sally at buckingham palace. the raf has played a crucial role since the queen's death and will continue to do so in the days leading up to the queen's funeral. this of course includes today's flight from edinburgh to raf northolt, which will transport the queen's coffin to london. i'm joined now by air chief marshal sir mike wigston, who's chief of the air staff for the raf. good morning. you have a significant role to play today, tell me what you will be doing?— will be doing? today is a day that we have long _ will be doing? today is a day that we have long planned _ will be doing? today is a day that we have long planned for, - will be doing? today is a day that we have long planned for, but- will be doing? today is a day that i we have long planned for, but hoped would never come. the royal air force will bring her late majesty's coffin from edinburgh with a royal guard of honour as she departs, to

from a service family and that speaks to our families and what they have to endure. she was the mother and grandmother of princes yousaw active duty, prince william was a royal air force search and rescue pilot. and she acutely knows what it means for families. that's why her sponsorship, if you like, giving the elizabeth cross, her name, which is the medal awarded to the next of kin of people who served in active—duty who were killed by acts of terrorism, it shows that profound sense of understanding of what it means to serve. she was the embodiment of a life of service. all of us who wear the uniform of the uk armed forces, whether regular or reserve, we try to emulate that in some small way.— reserve, we try to emulate that in some small way. and looking ahead a little, it is some small way. and looking ahead a little. it is a — some small way. and looking ahead a little, it is a service _ some small way. and looking ahead a little, it is a service that _ some small way. and looking ahead a little, it is a service that also - little, it is a service that also the new king knows very well. absolutely, his majesty the king is qualified as a royal air force

pilot, he has qualified for his wings. but i know he enjoyed his flying as his father and grandfather did as the prince of wales did as well. just as he has a close affinity with the royal navy and the army, the royal air force has a significant part to play in all of the royal family's lives. you boat des - erate the royal family's lives. you boat desnerate are _ the royal family's lives. you boat desperate are you _ the royal family's lives. you boat desperate are you won't - the royal family's lives. you boat desperate are you won't mind - the royal family's lives. you boat desperate are you won't mind me | desperate are you won't mind me saying, he was really rather good pilot? saying, he was really rather good ilot? , , , ., ~' saying, he was really rather good ilot? , ,, ., ~ ., ., saying, he was really rather good ilot? , ,, .," ., ., ., saying, he was really rather good ilot? , ,, n ., ., ., , pilot? yes, i speak to one of his instructors _ pilot? yes, i speak to one of his instructors and _ pilot? yes, i speak to one of his instructors and there _ pilot? yes, i speak to one of his instructors and there is - pilot? yes, i speak to one of his instructors and there is no - pilot? yes, i speak to one of his| instructors and there is no doubt pilot? yes, i speak to one of his i instructors and there is no doubt if he had chosen a career in the royal air force, he would have gone on to a successful flying career. we have seen rehearsals _ a successful flying career. we have seen rehearsals here _ a successful flying career. we have seen rehearsals here overnight, i a successful flying career. we have l seen rehearsals here overnight, your own rehearsal is coming up, what will that evolve?— will that evolve? alongside the other service _ will that evolve? alongside the other service chiefs, _ will that evolve? alongside the other service chiefs, the - will that evolve? alongside the other service chiefs, the head l will that evolve? alongside the | other service chiefs, the head of the army and navy, the chief of the

sneaking into wales, 0xfordshire and essex, some could become heavy and thundery. a humid start and temperatures not changing much but further north, a cooler start but a pleasant afternoon. this evening and overnight sees further outbreaks of rain, particularly thundery around the english channel coast. they will slide south where again it will be another warm night but mostly a fresh start tomorrow, particularly in the countryside, temperatures widely in single figures. and fog patches clearer, more cloud in western scotland and northern ireland which will break up during the day, outbreaks of heavy and thundery rain around the english channel coast will depart, sunny spells and pleasant in the sunshine through the afternoon. a cooler feel in the north and it will spread south, a few showers in the north and east but many remaining dry.

good morning. welcome to breakfast withjon kay in edinburgh and sally nugent at buckingham palace. our headlines. thousands have queued through the night to file past the queen's coffin as it lays at rest here at st giles' cathedral. last night, king charles stood vigil with his siblings as mourners paid their respects. the king will fly to belfast later as part of his tour around the uk. the queen's coffin will be flown from edinburgh this evening to spend the night here at buckingham palace. in the past few hours, guards have been rehearsing for a procession which will take her majesty to westminster hall tomorrow where she will lie in state. this weekend's premier league matches between chelsea and liverpool as well as manchester united against leeds have been postponed due to concerns around police

resources ahead of monday's funeral. it's tuesday, 13th of september. a cold but bright edinburgh. we are at st giles' cathedral and the people you are seeing are entering the cathedral to file past the coffin of queen elizabeth ii. some of them have waited hours overnight. they are entering the cathedral, people of all ages and backgrounds. some have finished a night shift. some have finished a night shift. some are on their way to work and school. but they are determined to wait for as long as it takes, they tell us, to have those moments of reflection inside. when they get inside, it is only for a few seconds that they filed past the coffin. they have to move on quickly because

people have been queueing up to a mile. some others told us they waited six hours in cold temperatures overnight. some have travelled hundreds of miles to be here. they have spoken about their relief and a sense of satisfaction, having paid their respects in the past few hours. king charles and his siblings were here last night. they stood round the coffin in a vigil. later, the coffin heads to london, buckingham palace, ahead of the state funeral next week. and before that the official lying in state at the palace of westminster. judith has the latest on the significance of the ceremony. here's the new monarch. but he is also a grieving son. king charles must combine mourning with duty.

and so a moment for private thought whilst in public sight, as the queen's four children stood vigil by her side. it completed a day that was full of procedure. at the palace of holyroodhouse, the king took part in the historic ceremony of the keys, just as his mother, the queen, last did less then three months ago. and another duty, too — the inspection of the guard of honour formed by the royal regiment of scotland. the rank—and—file soldiers of lith scots, like kevin and levi, will never forget it. it was once in a lifetime. it was a huge honour, especially for me and for kevin, as well. to be part of this historic event where we had to see the king in person, where he passes us and inspects the whole regiment. it was a wonderful feeling for me. it was... i was even shaking in my kilt.

just trying not to breathe too fast and stuff. trying to stay in the same kind of position, try to look professionaland, obviously, have a bit of discipline about you. really, trying to keep your breath and stuff. it is a pretty crazy experience. but, yes, it was a privilege. the king has found strength amidst such sorrow. for moments like these, to watch as queen elizabeth left her official scottish residence for the last time and to follow behind with his siblings as they walked together behind the hearse and up the royal mile. it felt as though all of edinburgh had come out to see, to witness history happening in real time, as the queen was carried inside st giles' cathedral for a service of prayer and reflection.

and so we gather to bid scotland's farewell to our late monarch, whose life of service to the nation and the world we celebrate. and whose love for scotland was legendary. for everything there is a season and a time for every matter under heaven. a time to be born and a time to die. the music was of european, scottish and anglican tradition, and combined solemnity with thanksgiving. there were some very moving moments as the coffin moved in front of the choir on the way

in as we were singing. one felt itjust fitted the words. some moments felt really quite electric, actually, in the intensity of people listening, which is something that sometimes on big occasions is not quite the same. but, today, you could have heard a pin drop. the queen's coffin will remain under constant vigil here until it is moved to buckingham palace later today. had the queen died in london, she would not have been brought to lie at rest at st giles' and these people would not have had the chance to visit her themselves. so many are expected to take the opportunity that around 4000 an hour will be filing past her coffin. at the front, we found dawn from manchester and catherine from london, both of whom thought they would have a better chance of seeing the coffin in edinburgh than at westminster. it felt really important, did it, to be here? i needed to come. we needed to pay our respects,

to mourn our queen before we want to celebrate our king. so you have come from london to edinburgh? yes. you know, i haven't really had to wait that long. five hours. i am not a royalist as such, but, still, the queen was a big part, and i feel, like, weird that she is not there. it is like to learn a new way of life. inside the cathedral, their emotions rose to the surface as the women took in the enormity of what they were seeing. really surreal and more emotional than i could ever remember. it was actually one of the most emotional moments of my life. a relief now, because we have done it, we have paid our respects. for the king, the ceremonial commitments continued into the evening, speaking to the scottish parliament. my motherfelt, as i do,

the greatest admiration for the scottish people. and receiving dignitaries at the palace of holyroodhouse. i am so grateful, i really am, for all your kind thoughts and prayers on these awful occasions that we have to face. i know, but you are dealing with so many public engagements and duties, as well, at a time of great personal loss. well, there we are. it's called duty. duty has underpinned everything. for the king, who is now following the late queen's example, and for her subjects, who feel they are owe her a debt of thanks. judith morris, bbc news, edinburgh. and still they come. those subjects. here we are just after eight o'clock this morning. st giles' cathedral

has been open to the publicjust over 12 hours. some of the people you are seeing who are entering have waited for several hours just to get that moment inside where they can file past the coffin of queen elizabeth ii. beautifully silent and peaceful in there, as people spend a few seconds saying a prayer, reflecting on her life and paying silent tribute. we are joined by lorna... mounirand her kids. good morning to all of you. you timed it right —— morna. we morning to all of you. you timed it right -- moms-— morning to all of you. you timed it right -- morna. we left home at five o'clock right -- morna. we left home at five o'clock with — right -- morna. we left home at five o'clock with two _ right -- morna. we left home at five o'clock with two sleepy _ right -- morna. we left home at five o'clock with two sleepy children - right -- morna. we left home at five o'clock with two sleepy children and | o'clock with two sleepy children and we parked and rode and this is us talking to you now having left the cathedral. ., . . .,

finlayjoining us having come through the queue. it is well organised here. ithink through the queue. it is well organised here. i think the authorities in london at the palace of westminster will be looking to see what they have learned about managing the queue and managing expectations. trying to ensure everybody can queue up safely and peacefully. and securely. there is a lot of security in place. people are not allowed to use the phone and are not allowed to use the phone and are not allowed to take certain items in. it is making sure they look at the messages and online the instructions to make it as speedy and problem free as they possibly can. morna told us she was lucky with her timings. an hour in the queue. the advice from the scottish government is people will wait longer as the day goes on. and a preview here of what will happen in

london over the next days. sally is at buckingham palace. good morning. good morning from here at buckingham palace. as we've been hearing, the queen's coffin is expected to arrive in london on a flight from edinburgh this evening. the princess royal, princess anne, will accompany it as she has since the beginning of its journey from balmoral. they will then travel here to buckingham palace, where the queen's coffin will be met by king charles, the queen consort and other members of the royal family. ican i can tell you when we first arrived several hours ago, we caught the tail end of a rehearsalfor what is going to be happening when they move the queen's coffin two westminster hall. rehearsals happening around 2am, 3am. and this was an

opportunity for everybody to really work out what they are doing ahead of that procession. coffin will be adorned with the imperial state crown. and we can see from the images it will be carried on a gun carriage of the king's troop royal artillery. as this was happening, it was silent, other than the sound of footsteps and drums. that i think is what will be striking when this procession takes place. the sound. it is quite astonishing. a real moment. piles of flowers, letters, candles and cards are growing by the minute at green park as people continue to share their memories and pay tribute to the queen. 0ur reporter graham satchell has been speaking to some of the people who have made a specialjourney to london to pay their respects. green park next to buckingham palace, the flow of people is constant.

thousands and thousands, every day, bringing flowers and other tributes to remember the queen. i don't live very far and i wanted to come with eddie and just be here, actually. it is something very special to come and see the atmosphere and feel it. i brought some flowers from the garden and, yes, i'm very pleased i came. what did the queen mean to you? i was lucky enough to have met her, actually. my dad was chief of the defence staff during the gulf war. she was always so charming and dignified. lovely smile. so, it was a great privilege. green park has been transformed by a sea of flowers. the dappled sunlight, the fragrant air has become a canvas for an outpouring of affection. some of the personal messages are printed and formal like this from 83—year—old beryl.

others are much more familiar, but no less heartfelt. the messages are quite touching, aren't they? have you been reading them? yeah, especially the ones from all the schoolchildren who are paying all their respects. really kind messages out there. it is striking how many messages there are from children, and drawings — particularly of corgis. laura wanted to be here with her nine—month old daughter grace. the queen was a really big part of our life and ijust know we are very lucky to have had the queen in our generation and we are excited to see what the king is going to do, but i really wanted her to see how loved the queen was. she is so...just incredibly loved. we were just saying we hope she knew. we hope she knew how loved she was. and you seemed to love her and you loved the paddington, didn't you? and there are a lot

of paddington bears. a touching reminder of the queen's sketch at her platinum jubilee. some even have marmalade sandwiches. from darkest peru to uruguay and italy, there are messages here from all over the world. on my flight from virginia to the uk, there was breaking news from the uber driver and he said the queen has passed away. so as he was driving me to my hotel, i was just completely shocked, because it was sad news. honestly, never thought that i would see the spectacular display of respect and condolence to a legend for 70 years. canadian tourists, you kind of thing, well, it won't affect me that much. but, when you are here among other people, to feel the passion, the emotions, what she brought to the country. it is overwhelming to see

such a display of love. the royal park authorities have asked people not to leave teddy bears or balloons and to remove plastic packaging from flowers, if possible. the floral tributes here will be left in place until after the queen's funeral and then will be composted, but the messages will be collected and kept. a unique public record ofjust how much the queen meant. graham satchell, bbc news. really beautiful seeing the flowers in green park. many more people expected to come and leave flowers and tributes over the coming days. if you are arriving in london, it is a little bit overcast this morning. still looking really rather beautiful. let's see how the weather is looking. matt has the forecast. thank you, good morning. for the majority, a dry

day with sunny spells. southern counties of england and wales, a damp start. rain develops more widely through the day. across parts of mid wales, midlands and northwards, sunny spells through the day. more cloud in northern scotland, showers, but the focus of the weather wetter is southern counties of england and wales. rain into 0xfordshire, essex and southwards, some of which can become heavy and thundery. temperatures not changing much from the humid start. further north, after a cooler start, a pleasant afternoon. overnight sees further outbreaks of rain. thundery around english channel coasts. they will slide further south, where there will be another warm night, but most of the uk a fresh start to tomorrow morning, particularly in the countryside. temperatures widely in single figures. sunshine. fog patches clearing. quite a breeze in northern scotland.

heavy and thundery rain around the english channel coast. that will depart. sunny here. pleasant in the sunshine in the afternoon. cooler in the north and that will spread southwards through the rest of the week. showers in the north and east. the night will turn cold. we'll have more from jon in edinburgh and sally at buckingham palace throughout the morning. now let's take a look at some of today's other news. britain's unemployment rate fell to its lowest since 1974 at 3.6% in the three months tojuly, according to the office for national statistics. our business correspondent ben boulos has more details. you are right, this is a snapshot of who is in work and how much they are being paid in the period tojuly. the crucial thing is to look at how wages relate to the average rise in

prices for goods and services we buy. what the figures show is the squeeze on pay remains. it is more pronounced for those working in the public sector than the private sector. when you factor in inflation, the average rise in prices, in real terms, average wages fell by 2.8% compared with a year earlier. the previous three—month period they fell by 3%. so not as steep a fall, but 2.8% is one of the biggest fall since records began 20 years ago. inflation is the problem. currently 10.1%, so something that cost £100 a year ago would now cost £110. and unless pay goes up by the same amount things feel more expensive which is what we mean when we talk about the cost of living crisis and squeeze on budgets. the worry is that if people were given

higher wages, worry is that if people were given higherwages, employers worry is that if people were given higher wages, employers and businesses would pass it on to consumers through higher prices and so it would feel this spiral of inflation. we get the latest inflation. we get the latest inflation figures tomorrow which will tell us what inflation was in august. it is expected to be even higher than 10.1%. thatjust higher than 10.1%. that just increasing the higher than 10.1%. thatjust increasing the squeeze on budgets that people are struggling with. we await that figure tomorrow. many thanks. a firearms officer who shot dead an unarmed black man in south london last week has been suspended from the metropolitan police. chris kaba — a 24—year—old rapper — had been driving a car that police said had been linked to a firearms offence, but no weapons were found in the vehicle. the independent office for police conduct has launched a homicide investigation. the port of felixstowe has warned of serious disruption after it received notice

as we've been hearing, from tomorrow the queen will lie in state at wesminster hall and thousands more are expected to descend on the capital to pay their respects. it's led to a warning from rail companies and tfl who say they're expecting "unprecented" demand. passengers are being asked to avoid green park station altogether and to walk between locations as much as possible. the advice comes as analysts believe the number of people in the capital on sunday has already doubled compared to the week before. young people who have done amazing things in their community have been remembering the moment they met the queen. the queen's young leader award recognises and celebrates exceptional people aged 18—29 from across the commonwealth who are taking the lead in their communities. i was thinking what are the chances of this that i would be meeting her majesty to receive an award at the age of 23. so it was a spectacular moment. next, a met police officer who shot

dead an unarmed black man has been suspended from duty. chris kaba died after a single shot was fired in streatham last monday. the met says the decision to suspend the officer is following careful consideration of a number of factors, including the significant impact on public confidence — but says it "does not determine the outcome" of the investigation. he should have been suspended anyway, we shouldn't be grateful that he is suspended. there's a criminal investigation going on, if it was any otherjob and you were being criminally investigated you would be suspended immediately. now let's take a look at how tfl services are looking. it's all looking good so far, apart from minor delays on the jubilee line. now the weather with kate kinsella. good morning. it was a mild and humid night so a cloudy start this morning. we have a warm front which is heading south, that is bringing the cloud, the humidity but also some spells of rain as well. some of those could be quite heavy through the afternoon and temperatures cooler

than yesterday at 20 celsius. this front is going to linger overnight so the cloud is going to stay with us, it's still on the mild side and we'll still see some outbreaks of rain through the night. the minimum temperature dropping to 12 celsius. so a cloudy, damp start tomorrow morning, you can see that warm front down in the south but through wednesday it starts to drift away. so despite the rather damp, cloudy start, tomorrow we will start to see some sunshine developing through the afternoon and temperatures tomorrow in that sunshine just a degree or two warmer at 22 celsius. it is going to stay largely dry through much of this week, high pressure takes charge, variable amounts of cloud but it's a north—westerly flow. breezy friday and saturday and temperatures therefore feeling cooler. and just before we go, we've been overwhelmed by your memories of your time with the queen like this one from montserrat of her mum maria at the epsom derby in 2018. what a great selfie.

and if you'd like to send us your memories email hellobbclondon@bbc.co.uk. that's it from me for now. i'm back in an hour. good morning, tuesday the 13th of september and we are in st giles' cathedral in the centre of the edinburgh old town as more and more people turn up to pay their respects at the coffin of queen elizabeth ii. some in school uniform, some in workwear, some in funeral dress, but thousands of people have queued overnight, some are for up to six hours to pay tribute to the monarch who passed away last thursday. last night the new king charles iii was inside the cathedral, he and his siblings stood around the coffin for

a vigil. now it is the turn of the subjects, the people, to go inside and pay their respects. only fleetingly, they only get a few seconds inside but with respect in silence they take their turn. we are joined now on breakfast by someone who has been a constant friend over the last couple of days. we'rejoined now by the right honourable lord provost and lord lieutenant of the city of edinburgh, robert aldridge. he has been at the heart of the ceremony and you have been a very busy man so we really appreciate it. can i ask by asking you about these pictures, you are close to the cathedral this morning, this turnout is staggering, isn't it? yes. cathedral this morning, this turnout is staggering, isn't it?— is staggering, isn't it? yes, there have been _ is staggering, isn't it? yes, there have been literally _ is staggering, isn't it? yes, there have been literally tens _ is staggering, isn't it? yes, there have been literally tens of - have been literally tens of thousands of people turning up to pay their respects to the queen.

edinburgh has a shoulder, i think, during the long sstt two or three days —— edinburgh has —— edinburgh has shone. people wanted to pay their own personal respects to the queen and they have their own memories of the queen. i think if people are wanting to be able to file past, they will need to to come relatively early because the queues are going to be building up quite soon. i understand we may have to cut off the queues at 3pm to allow for the departure of the queen for edinburgh airport later this afternoon. edinburgh airport later this afternoon-— edinburgh airport later this afternoon. . . ., afternoon. that is ahead of the coffin being — afternoon. that is ahead of the coffin being taken _ afternoon. that is ahead of the coffin being taken back- afternoon. that is ahead of the coffin being taken back to - afternoon. that is ahead of the i coffin being taken back to london and buckingham palace before lying in state in the palace of westminster. from where you are and what you have seen and felt, what is it like in edinburgh at the moment? you know this city so well, it's in

your heart, give people around the uk a sense of what it feels like right now. it uk a sense of what it feels like right nova— right now. it has felt quite strange. _ right now. it has felt quite strange. a _ right now. it has felt quite strange, a mixture - right now. it has felt quite strange, a mixture of- right now. it has felt quite - strange, a mixture of emotions right now. it has felt quite _ strange, a mixture of emotions going on. for example yesterday i was hugely privileged to be able to welcome the king for his first visit to scotland, and to be at the back of his convoy and to feel the waves and cheers as he went down the royal mile, it was amazing. we have had a very respectable and subdued response of those same crowds as the queen's coffin moved up the royal mile yesterday. it is a very strange, subdued, respectful, very friendly atmosphere as well, people all talking to each other about their memories of queen and so on. it is very edinburgh in that it is a

big city but also a small village in some ways. big city but also a small village in some ways-— big city but also a small village in somewas. , some ways. that's absolutely right. just walking — some ways. that's absolutely right. just walking not _ some ways. that's absolutely right. just walking not just _ some ways. that's absolutely right. just walking not just in _ some ways. that's absolutely right. just walking not just in the - some ways. that's absolutely right. just walking notjust in the old - just walking notjust in the old town but in the streets around last night, butjust at town but in the streets around last night, but just at the town but in the streets around last night, butjust at the bus stops in the city centre i was talking to somebody, they were referring to the fact that there was this piece and almost contentment really, this tranquillity that has spread out from this area around the royal mile. have you noticed that! absolutely. i think there is a sense that we feel very privileged that we have been able to be the first part of the united kingdom to pay our respects to the queen. oh, i'm getting emotional again. excuse me a moment i will compose myself. it has been such an honour for the capital city of scotland to be able to say,

thank you, ma'am, of what you have done for us. pare thank you, ma'am, of what you have done for us— done for us. are you all right to continue? _ done for us. are you all right to continue? absolutely, - done for us. are you all right to i continue? absolutely, absolutely. done for us. are you all right to - continue? absolutely, absolutely. we have 'ust continue? absolutely, absolutely. we have just seen — continue? absolutely, absolutely. we have just seen pictures _ continue? absolutely, absolutely. we have just seen pictures inside - continue? absolutely, absolutely. we have just seen pictures inside the - have just seen pictures inside the cathedral of people at that moment when they see the coffin, they confront reality and they are overwhelmed. it is an intense time for this city. say goodbye to the coffin as it heads to london later, it will be another sad farewell. absolutely, today is the last day that the queen will spend in scotland. her last few hours here. so a very poignant moment for us all. sad, sad day. ithink so a very poignant moment for us all. sad, sad day. i think we are all. sad, sad day. i think we are all beginning to feel it. the moment

the coffin appeared in edinburgh it brought home to everybody the reality that we have lost a monarch that we have known all of our lives and that we are moving to a new era. it has been strangely emotional, all sorts of people had been affected, the love and respect people have felt for a monarch that we have known all of our lives.- known all of our lives. robert aldridge. _ known all of our lives. robert aldridge, lord _ known all of our lives. robert aldridge, lord provost, - known all of our lives. robert aldridge, lord provost, lord| aldridge, lord provost, lord lieutenant, thank you very much for welcoming us and helping us in the last few days but we have really appreciated your time, thank you. thank you very much indeed. that appreciated your time, thank you. thank you very much indeed. at those ictures thank you very much indeed. at those pictures inside. _ thank you very much indeed. at those pictures inside, it _ thank you very much indeed. at those pictures inside, it is _ thank you very much indeed. at those pictures inside, it is really _ thank you very much indeed. at those pictures inside, it is really moving - pictures inside, it is really moving to watch. as well as just being here, wherever you are watching this morning, just seeing those pictures of the effect it has on people getting inside that cathedral this

morning. some of them have waited for hours, some of them have driven four hours, first thing this morning i met a couple from preston in lancashire who saw the news on the bbc last night had 6pm and thought, we havejust got bbc last night had 6pm and thought, we have just got to go to edinburgh. they felt compelled. so they got on a train, they got here late at night, they waited through the night, they waited through the night, for six hours, and they went through and now they are heading back to lancashire. they might even be home very shortly. they said they had to do it and they have no regrets and no complaints about the waiting, they took on board would have happened. you can see the relief and the release on the faces of people who are inside right now. i think, now, of people who are inside right now. ithink, now, we of people who are inside right now. i think, now, we can speak to a friend of the queen, no, we will speak to jackie stewart shortly.

let's hear from some of the people who have been through the cathedral and witnessed his moment of history for them selves. we have been talking to them as they go in and as they emerge. they came in their thousands. excuse me, please. we both signed an oath of allegiance. we pledged our allegiance to the queen. we really needed to be here today. are you ok? there were tears. yes, thank you. you wouldn't want to be anywhere else? no, not today. but chat to anyone here and it was easy to find joy. my mum is like a doppelganger for the queen and she loved horses. we took her to the royal windsor horse show one year and i somehow or another lost my mum and i saw this lady ahead of us who was the double of my mum, she was wearing the same coat. i went running up to her, "mum, mum!" and these obviously security guards stepped in front

of her and it was actually the queen, not my mum. how did she take it? she just turned and she smiled and she gave me a wave and she went on. everyone here has their own memory of the queen, some more direct, more personal than others. i can see you've brought paddington. chloe's papa used to guard the queen and he was always telling us stories of when he was in the scotch guard. and he's up in fort william just now, he couldn't make the journey so it's important for us to be there and say goodbye on his behalf. for the moment his family passed the queen's coffin, chloe's granddad had texted a personal message. say goodbye for me, so proud to have met her and served her. thinking of her today, god bless her, long live the king. give him a good cheer. what is your papa, your granddad's name? papa bill. for every person here there were more like papa william bell who would have loved to have witnessed this moment if only they could.

it's my grandmother's ring, who is not with us any more. my mum's 90. she wouldn't have been able to do this. with you in spirit? yeah. she's been looking out for us. | yeah, she's watching the telly. she's watching the tv looking out for you! what's her name? joan. hello, mum! i made it! after queueing from early morning, they all eventually made it. to bear witness to this moment. jo and alan were amongst the very first. very emotional, yeah. there's quite a lot of tears in there. it's a really strange thing, it's hard to believe that she is in there. and i was lucky enough as well, i had my mind up that i wanted to do a final salute, so i did that today to her as well before i left. and what was a nice touch was that the crown, they have got the crown on top of the coffin, which was a really nice thing to see. the world was watching.

scotland has been proud to rise to the occasion. i think heading into the future we will probably be asked where we were on this day so we don't want to miss out. nobody wants to miss it. you just have to see the crowds. people want to come and appreciate what queen elizabeth has done for us. you're emotional, aren't you? very much, very much. it was absolutely wonderful, just to get in, to say how much she's done for the country and binded us all together. i must say even the queues of people are wonderful, just standing, the whole atmosphere of the place. because it's so wonderful to have everyone talking to one another in a friendship way. you know, it's lovely. and perhaps this is the legacy most valued here because even as night fell, still they came, to say goodbye to a monarch who brought so many of us together.

some lovely voices there, personal connections and stories, everybody here has a different personal reason for being here and they are sharing their stories and those connections with one another. as they queue up for all that time overnight and into today. we arejoined now for all that time overnight and into today. we are joined now on breakfast by the three—time formula 1 champion sirjackie stewart who was a very close friend of the queen. good morning, thank you for joining us. i know how sorry and sad you must be feeling right now because i know how close you were. remind us of how you first met the queen became friends. it happened throuih queen became friends. it happened throu . h the queen became friends. it happened through the princess _ queen became friends. it happened through the princess royal, - queen became friends. it happened | through the princess royal, princess anne and she was there, because she won the british championship and i happened to be sportsmen of the year

that time and she was sportswoman of the year. it was the daily express, i think, at the savoy hotel, and i was sitting next to the princess royal as she is now. and for some reason we started to have a conversation, and received to get on well together. she's a great motorist, by the way, and a very good driver, as was her majesty. her majesty the queen was a fantastically good driver. but so was the princess royal. she wanted to come to race sometime and in fact i took edward and william to many races. but the princess royal i took to silverstone, she drove a racing car, she was in the formula 1 car. so we had a relationship there. and that introduced the fact that i was invited to shoot at sandringham, balmoral, windsor and so forth. by that one day the queen was standing in for the princess royal who had to

rush in and do an engagement and the queen hosted it. it was then i met her majesty the first time. and we just happen to have a very nice conversation and from there, over the years, and that was many years ago now of course, but the most impressive lady i have ever known in the world. the loss that we have from her majesty is beyond, for me, one of the most... reactions i have ever had in my life. it is a blessing in a sense because i met her, and in fact, blessing in a sense because i met her, and infact, i blessing in a sense because i met her, and in fact, iwas blessing in a sense because i met her, and in fact, i was supposed to be in balmoral today as a matter of fact, with the creed. but i was with her very recently. and she was in great form, apart from being difficult with the wheelchair, with the stick. sharp as a nail. and i

think that the fact that she has slipped away in the manner, although we would hope all preferred it and not to happen, it was kindness to the queen. but to die in scotland was something very special. balmoral was something very special. balmoral was her favourite place was something very special. balmoral was herfavourite place in the world. the way that scotland responded, what a country, when it is in mourning, and to have her majesty driven with the princess royal in the car behind and her husband tim with her, which must be a very emotional experience for her highness, it is fantastic. the whole country has responded so positively. edinburgh is a city in morning. a

monarchy is very important to a country. when you see what happens in the united states of america, the violence at the demonstration, we have a monarchy and we should never not have a monarchy. that applies to scotland in my opinion as well. her majesty was a great leader of that. and prince charles, his majesty now, i thought spoke in a magnificent fashion when he was introduced to the monarch. he could not have carried it more boldly, and with more emotion. and yet with common sense. and i think we have got a moderate canal —— we have got a

monarch he will carry our country like no other.— monarch he will carry our country like no other. people have said to be this body. _ like no other. people have said to be this body, the _ like no other. people have said to be this body, the way _ like no other. people have said to be this body, the way of- like no other. people have said to be this body, the way of her- like no other. people have said to i be this body, the way of her passing in balmoral is what she would have wanted. you knew her well, did you feel that as well?— feel that as well? absolutely, absolutely- — feel that as well? absolutely, absolutely. she _ feel that as well? absolutely, absolutely. she was - feel that as well? absolutely, absolutely. she was living - feel that as well? absolutely, absolutely. she was living in i absolutely. she was living in windsor castle recently, but i think for her to go to balmoral, she was looking forward to it in looking forward to it enormously, she loved balmoral but particularly she loved balmoral but particularly she loved balmoral but particularly she loved her other residences like in norfolk with all of the gamekeepers, and the people who trade her dogs, these people were so special to her majesty. —— trained

her dogs. scotland was her home. for how to pass away so quietly and comfortably i think is an enormous blessing. it is a great loss to us all particularly in the fact that we have a wonderful royal family the emotion that we showed in that was tremendous. i was as emotional as i have ever been, i have lost 57 of my best friends, and i have had more emotion with the loss of her majesty. people were dying in my sport at that time and we had to change that and we did. but the loss of her majesty is something which i think will never be forgotten. you

knew her. — think will never be forgotten. you knew her. a _ think will never be forgotten. you knew her, a lot _ think will never be forgotten. you knew her, a lot of _ think will never be forgotten. you knew her, a lot of people who are filing past the coffin never met her, they might have seen her at a distance but they have still tied up in their thousands today. and queueing overnight. what do you think of what we have seen, these pictures? i think of what we have seen, these ictures? ~ . think of what we have seen, these ictures? ~' . .. pictures? ithink it is wonderful, i think it is a _ pictures? ithink it is wonderful, i think it is a good _ pictures? ithink it is wonderful, i think it is a good thing _ pictures? ithink it is wonderful, i think it is a good thing for - pictures? ithink it is wonderful, i think it is a good thing for our - think it is a good thing for our country, for that to occur, it is just so obvious that we should recognise that in the fullest fashion. it is way beyond any

monarch that has ever been. we should recognise that and we should use it more positively. to be sure that this is continued in that fashion. because we have aching down. —— we have king now. and he has been brought to us by her majesty and he will serve us very well. we should have it, tourism in the united kingdom, people who are in london at buckingham palace today and who will be in the next weeks and who will be in the next weeks and days, they are recognising what the monarch was and what he now holds in that responsibility. and they are all there wanted to be there. that is a statement we should not be blind on. for those who may

have other opinions, i would say the large majority are of the opinion that we must have a monarchy. thank ou so that we must have a monarchy. thank you so much — that we must have a monarchy. thank you so much for— that we must have a monarchy. thank you so much for making _ that we must have a monarchy. thank you so much for making time - that we must have a monarchy. thank you so much for making time for - that we must have a monarchy. thank you so much for making time for us i you so much for making time for us this morning. we really appreciate your thoughts and your stories and your thoughts and your stories and your insight. we know how close you are to the queen. jackie saying he should have been at balmoral with the queen to date. instead we are here at st giles' cathedral is people filed past her coffin. jackie was talking about the importance of the different nations of the united kingdom to him and the queen. our new king is visiting all four nations ahead of the state funeral x monday. today he will be in northern ireland and john maguire is in

belfast. good morning from outside the gates of hillsborough castle. preparations in full swing for the arrival of the king and queen consort. look at these floral tributes, a sea of them, they are standing on end, an incredible sight. lots of messages, some simple, you will be missed, some simple, you will be missed, some of them saying, thank you, long and short. but also talking to the king direct, so many messages to the new king wishing him luck and expressing their commitment to him. as he takes on the role that his mother carried out with such great aplomb. lets when you do what is happening here. —— take you through what is happening here.

later this morning, king charles ii! and camilla, queen consort will fly to belfast and then depart for hillsborough castle by car. they will meet senior politicians and they will sit down with religious leaders of all faiths to discuss some of the issues that people here are experiencing. after leaving hillsborough, they will head back to belfast for a service at st annes cathedral of prayer and reflection on the life of her majesty the queen before returning back to london, flying back to the capital to meet up with the queen's coffin that will be at buckingham palace. let's talk to our island corresponded, chris page. thinking of the queen and her relationship with the people here, how would you

characterise it?— characterise it? whenever you consider that _ characterise it? whenever you consider that northern - characterise it? whenever you consider that northern ireland j characterise it? whenever you - consider that northern ireland has beenin consider that northern ireland has been in existence for 101 years, it was back in 1921 that the rest of the island of ireland became independent from the uk. the queen was on the throne for 70 of those years. more than two thirds of the time that northern ireland has existed. that gives you a sense of it. irish nationalists have had a different emphasis than unionists, they have focused on they view as they have focused on they view as the queen's very powerful and personal contribution to the peace process. personal contribution to the peace rocess. .. , , process. you can see this in the newspapers- — process. you can see this in the newspapers. yes, _ process. you can see this in the newspapers. yes, this - process. you can see this in the newspapers. yes, this is - process. you can see this in the newspapers. yes, this is a - process. you can see this in the - newspapers. yes, this is a newspaper read mainly — newspapers. yes, this is a newspaper read mainly by _ newspapers. yes, this is a newspaper read mainly by the _ newspapers. yes, this is a newspaper read mainly by the unionist _ read mainly by the unionist community, as you would expect, ulster expecting to embrace grieving king charles. the irish news is

associated with nationalist leanings. theirfront page is not about the visit of the king at all, they are focusing on the continuing fallout of brexit in northern ireland. there are different attitudes towards the institution of the monarchy depending on which side you are on as regards the traditional political divide. talking to people on either side of the divide yesterday, great aberration was probably the best way of putting it for the queen and what she did. —— great admiration. big shoes to fill, she said, yesterday. the fact that king charles is coming here says he has a commitment to the union. if the debate for the future of northern ireland in the uk moves on perhaps to a referendum on irish unity, he will not be able to express an opinion as monarch. but

people will be hoping that he will continue the work on reconciliation and peace building that his late mother started. by, and peace building that his late mother started.— and peace building that his late mother started. �* , , ., . mother started. a sense of what has one mother started. a sense of what has gone before — mother started. a sense of what has gone before and _ mother started. a sense of what has gone before and what _ mother started. a sense of what has gone before and what lies _ mother started. a sense of what has gone before and what lies ahead. i gone before and what lies ahead. people starting to see crowds lining the street outside hillsborough for that hugely anticipated royal visit later today. that hugely anticipated royal visit latertoday. let's that hugely anticipated royal visit later today. let's go back to london now, sally is at buckingham palace. we are alive at buckingham palace this morning. as we've been hearing the queen's coffin is expected to arrive in london, on a flight from edinburgh this evening. the princess royal, princess anne, will accompany it as she has since the beginning of its journey from balmoral. they will then travel here to buckingham palace, where the queen's coffin will be met by king charles, the queen consort and other members

of the royal family. a full military rehersal has taken place this morning for the procession to transfer the queen's coffin from buckingham palace to westminster hall, where the queen will lie in state for four days. these images we are showing you now were filmed around five o'clock this morning is that raz was taking place. you can see the gun carriage they will use for the procession. the band was rehearsing, making sure that they get this journey absolutely right. charlotte gallagherjoins me now. you have been here for the last several days, you have seen things change here and develop, you have seen the crowds and the flowers and there is a real sense at the moment that there has been a particular atmosphere for the last few days but that could change later. i

palace, it was a brand family home. i'm sure the staff have a lot of really lovely memories of those times. it really lovely memories of those times. . really lovely memories of those times. , , really lovely memories of those times. . , . times. it is interesting, we have seen lots and _ times. it is interesting, we have seen lots and lots _ times. it is interesting, we have seen lots and lots of _ times. it is interesting, we have seen lots and lots of families i seen lots and lots of families coming through, lots of children and grandchildren. and we got a sense with that rehearsal overnight that things are becoming a little bit more formal now, that is the way we are heading. this more formal now, that is the way we are heading-— are heading. this rehearsal has to be done over— are heading. this rehearsal has to be done over and _ are heading. this rehearsal has to be done over and over _ are heading. this rehearsal has to be done over and over again. i be done over and over again. obviously this event has been planned and the queen will have had a big say in the events as prince philip did with his funeral, but everything has to be perfect on monday. the eyes of the world will be on london as world leaders, it will be televised around the world and the military taking part in the funeral or want everything to be perfect. they really want to honour the queen. everything is looking immaculate from those rehearsals. thank you so much.

again the focus of attention. because, over night, people queued in their thousands, some of them for six hours, to get inside the cathedral of st giles' in the old town in the heart of edinburgh and town in the heart of edinburgh and to spending a few moments passing the coffin of queen elizabeth and paying silent tribute inside. last night, prince charles and his siblings, iam night, prince charles and his siblings, i am sorry, king charles and his three siblings stood around the coffin in a silent vigil. later today, the king will fly to belfast today, the king will fly to belfast to meet people there. he is travelling all over the uk before the state funeral next monday. our correspondence has been reflecting on the significance and ceremony of last night and the day to come. here's the new monarch. but he is also a grieving son.

king charles must combine mourning with duty. and so a moment for private thought whilst in public sight, as the queen's four children stood vigil by her side. it completed a day that was full of procedure. at the palace of holyroodhouse, the king took part in the historic ceremony of the keys, just as his mother, the queen, last did less then three months ago. and another duty, too — the inspection of the guard of honour formed by the royal regiment of scotland. the rank—and—file soldiers of llth scots, like kevin and levi, will never forget it. it was once in a lifetime. it was a huge honour, especially for me and for kevin, as well. to be part of this historic event

where we had to see the king in person, where he passes us and inspects the whole regiment. it was... i was even shaking in my kilt. just trying not to breathe too fast and stuff. trying to stay in the same kind of position, try to look professionaland, obviously, have a bit of discipline about you. really, trying to keep your breath and stuff. it is a pretty crazy experience. but, yes, it was a privilege. the king has found strength amidst such sorrow. for moments like these, to watch as queen elizabeth left her official scottish residence for the last time and to follow behind with his siblings as they walked together behind the hearse and up the royal mile. it felt as though all of edinburgh

had come out to see, to witness history happening in real time, as the queen was carried inside st giles' cathedral for a service of prayer and reflection. and so we gather to bid scotland's farewell to our late monarch, whose life of service to the nation and the world we celebrate. and whose love for scotland was legendary. for everything there is a season and a time for every matter under heaven. a time to be born and a time to die. the music was of european, scottish and anglican tradition, and combined

solemnity with thanksgiving. there were some very moving moments as the coffin moved in front of the choir on the way in as we were singing. one felt itjust fitted the words. some moments felt really quite electric, actually, in the intensity of people listening, which is something that sometimes on big occasions is not quite the same. but, today, you could have heard a pin drop. the queen's coffin will remain under constant vigil here until it is moved to buckingham palace later today. had the queen died in london, she would not have been brought to lie at rest at st giles' and these people would not have had the chance to visit her themselves. so many are expected to take the opportunity that around 4000 an hour will be filing past her coffin.

at the front, we found dawn from manchester and catherine from london, both of whom thought they would have a better chance of seeing the coffin in edinburgh than at westminster. it felt really important, did it, to be here? i needed to come. we needed to pay our respects, to mourn our queen before we want to celebrate our king. so you have come from london to edinburgh? yes. you know, i haven't really had to wait that long. five hours. i am not a royalist as such, but, still, the queen was a big part, and i feel, like, weird that she is not there. it is like to learn a new way of life. inside the cathedral, their emotions rose to the surface as the women took in the enormity of what they were seeing. really surreal and more emotional than i could ever remember. it was actually one of the most emotional moments of my life. a relief now, because we have done

it, we have paid our respects. for the king, the ceremonial commitments continued into the evening, speaking to the scottish parliament. my motherfelt, as i do, the greatest admiration for the scottish people. and receiving dignitaries at the palace of holyroodhouse. i am so grateful, i really am, for all your kind thoughts and prayers on these awful occasions that we have to face. i know, but you are dealing with so many public engagements and duties, as well, at a time of great personal loss. well, there we are. it's called duty. duty has underpinned everything. and for her subjects, who feel they are owe her a debt of thanks.

really struck by the lady who said to judith i really struck by the lady who said tojudith i needed to come. you hear that in the crowd a lot. this morning, as well. some people have driven hundreds of miles, waiting for hours to get a few seconds inside the cathedral. they say that a lot, i needed to come, ifelt i had to be here to pay respects. people will only have a few hours to do that because the queen's coffin will leave edinburgh this afternoon to begin the journey back to london, buckingham palace. accompanied on the flight by her daughter, the princess royal. princess anne. in the meantime, more of this. solemnity and silence. and respect. inside the cathedral. edinburgh feels like a very different city today. even on the streets around

here, which would normally be bustling with life, shops and cafe is an taurus. people are still around, life goes on for the community here, —— and tourists. but this sense of the backdrop of what is happening at the cathedral. people are arriving and they will be glad of the sunshine that has come above the cathedral. for people waiting in cold conditions. the sunshine will give them welcome warmth, especially if they did not bring enough coats. jayne has been talking to people who have queued up and been through the cathedral. we can speak to you now. good morning. good morning. you spoke about some people driving hundreds of miles to be here today. some people have flown thousands of miles to be here today and we will chapter one of those people in a

minute. you can see behind me the exit from the cathedral. people streaming out as they have been doing all night and all yesterday. making their way around into a beautiful morning in edinburgh. everybody has a reason to be here. so many stories. let me introduce you to pamela. you have come from the states. and you have described yourself to me as america's biggest fan. tell me why you had to be here? well,... you are emotional. the royal family, i have always admired them. i watch and read everything about them. my daughters are the same age as diana's boys. i get up for all the royal weddings and funerals. so to be here? it is very

surreal. i was on holiday. so this was unexpected. i had this room booked for months. i was in inverness when she passed. i got to sign a condolence book. and my room isjust down the sign a condolence book. and my room is just down the close. i got to see the royal family leaving yesterday. i am going to try to go inside. you are overcome _ i am going to try to go inside. you are overcome with _ i am going to try to go inside. you are overcome with emotion. it is lovely talking to you. thank you for stopping. this family have just come out with baby lottie. my goodness, one day you will tell her that she was in the cathedral saying goodbye. i know. it is amazing. i planned to tell her she was born in a special

a pleasant afternoon. overnight sees further outbreaks of rain. thundery around english channel coasts. they will slide further south, where there will be another warm night, but most of the uk a fresh start to tomorrow morning, particularly in the countryside. temperatures widely in single figures. sunshine. fog patches clearing. quite a breeze in northern scotland. heavy and thundery rain around the english channel coast. that will depart. sunny here. pleasant in the sunshine in the afternoon. cooler in the north and that will spread southwards through the rest of the week. showers in the north and east. the night will turn cold. back to you. we'll have more from jon in edinburgh and sally at buckingham palace this hour. now though let's take a look at some of the rest of today's news. britain's unemployment rate fell to its lowest since 1974 at 3.6%

in the three months tojuly, according to the office for national statistics. our business correspondent ben boulos has more details. good morning, what can you tell us? good morning, what can you tell us? good morning. we will come onto the unemployment figures in a moment but this is a snapshot ofjobs and pay in that period between may tojuly and it tells us how many people are in work, how much they are being paid and crucially how wages relate to inflation, the average rise in prices for the goods and services we typically buy. i can tell you the squeeze on pay very much remains. it is more pronounced in the public sector than it is for those who work in the private sector. at face value, average wages rose, but when you factor in inflation, the average rise in prices, real terms wages fell by 2.8% compared with a year earlier. in the previous three—month period, they have fallen by 3% were not as big a fall is sad but still

2.8% is one of the biggest falls we have seen since records began —— not as big a fall as that. inflation is the thorny problem, 10.1%. that means that something could cost you £100 one year ago would typically cost you £110. if your wages are not going up at the same rate, things feel more expensive, that is what we mean when we talk about the cost of living squeeze, the pressure on household budgets. increasing pressure on bills and the things which we by which wages aren't keeping up with. the unemployment rate you mentioned has fallen to 3.6%, the lowest it has been since... vacancies and traditionally employers would fill those, competing for workers by offering higher wages. the worry is that if they offer higher wages business and

employee wages and they could pass it on to consumers. you got it, it would fuel inflation, prices could 9° up would fuel inflation, prices could go up even more. we will get the definitive picture on inflation tomorrow when we have the latest results for that ad where it stood in august. the warning is it is expected to be even higher where it currently stands at 10.1%. it would put even more pressure on already squeezed budgets.— put even more pressure on already squeezed budgets. thanks for that, ben in squeezed budgets. thanks for that, iten in london _ squeezed budgets. thanks for that, ben in london for— squeezed budgets. thanks for that, ben in london for us. _ a firearms officer who shot dead an unarmed black man in south london last week has been suspended from the metropolitan police. chris kaba — a 24—year—old rapper — had been driving a car that police said had been linked to a firearms offence, but no weapons were found in the vehicle. the independent office for police conduct has launched a homicide investigation. the port of felixstowe has warned of serious disruption after it received notice from the unite union of a second eight—day strike from 27th september in a dispute over pay. almost 2,000 workers at the country's biggest container port walked out in august.

unite's general secretary, sharon graham, warned last month that industrial action would be escalated if their request for a 10% increase in wages was not met. president zelensky is urging ukraine's western allies to speed up ukraine's western allies to speed up deliveries of weapons systems to help his troops consolidate control over territory seized back from russia, in the north east near the city of kharkiv. our correspondent hugo bachega is in kyiv. hugo, how significant are these gains? how significant are these gains? very significant, the biggest changes on the front lines since early april. president zelensky talking about more than 6000 square kilometres of territory being retaken, four times the size of greater london. in the east, the ukrainians are saying troops are now working to consolidate control over

the these reclaimed territories. we see pictures of russian military vehicles, ammunition, equipment left behind. a senior pentagon official says these are signs that the command and control of the russian forces are disorganised. interesting that the us officials are now saying that the us officials are now saying that russian forces have ceded their gains and many of the forces have now returned to russia.— gains and many of the forces have now returned to russia. hugo, many thanks for that. _ british actors matthew macfadyen and brett goldstein are among the winners announced at one of television's most prestigious awards ceremonies, the emmys. macfadyen was honoured for his role in the drama succession. goldstein was named the best supporting actor in a comedy, for ted lasso. let's take a look at some of this morning's sport stories now. only seven of the ten premier league fixtures scheduled for this weekend will take place. manchester united's home game with leeds and chelsea's match with liverpool in london on sunday have both been postponed due

to concerns around police resourcing ahead of monday's funeral. brighton against crystal palace was already called off ahead of a planned rail strike. arsenal's europa league tie, originally scheduled for thursday, is also off. tottenham and liverpool will both play their games in the champions league tonight. the queen will be remembered during a minute's silence ahead of liverpool's home game against ajax at anfield this evening. i'm 55 years old and she's the only queen i ever knew. queen of england. as far as i know, i don't know her, but i think you can see now she was a really warm, nice, loved lady. time to get the news where you are. hello, good morning,

this is bbc london. i'm frankie mccamley. as we've been hearing — from tomorrow the queen will lie in state at wesminster hall and thousands more are expected to descend on the capital to pay their respects. it's led to warning from rail companies and tfl who say they're expecting unprecedented" demand. passengers are being asked to avoid green park station altogether and to walk between locations as much as possible. the advice comes as analysts believe the number of people in the capital on sunday has already doubled compared to the week before. young people who have done amazing things in their community have been remembering the moment they met the queen. the queen's young leader award recognises and celebrates exceptional people aged 18—29 from across the commonwealth who are taking the lead in their communities. i was thinking what are the chances of this that i would be meeting her majesty to receive an award at the age of 23. so it was a spectacular moment.

next, a met police officer who shot dead an unarmed black man has been suspended from duty. chris kaba died after a single shot was fired in streatham last monday. the met says the decision to suspend the officer is following careful consideration of a number of factors, including the significant impact on public confidence — but says it does not determine the outcome of the investigation. he should have been suspended, anyway, we shouldn't be grateful that he is suspended. there's a criminal investigation going on, if it was any otherjob and you are being criminally investigated you would be suspended immediately. a look at how tfl services are looking. everything running smoothly and now the weather. it was a mild and humid night so a cloudy start this morning. we have a warm front which is heading south, that is bringing the cloud, the humidity but also some

spells of rain as well. some of those could be quite heavy through the afternoon and temperatures cooler than yesterday at 20 celsius. this front is going to linger overnight so the cloud is going to stay with us, it's still on the mild side and we'll still see some outbreaks of rain through the night. the minimum temperature dropping to 12 celsius. so a cloudy, damp start tomorrow morning, you can see that warm front down in the south but through wednesday it starts to drift away. so despite the rather damp, cloudy start, tomorrow we will start to see some sunshine developing through the afternoon and temperatures tomorrow in that sunshine just a degree or two warmer at 22 celsius. it is going to stay largely dry through much of this week, high pressure takes charge, variable amounts of cloud but it's a north—westerly flow. breezy friday and saturday and temperatures therefore feeling cooler. before we go, we've been overwhelmed by your memories of your time with the queen. like this one from montserrat of her mum maria at the epsom derby in 2018. if you'd like to send

us your memories — email hellobbclondon@bbc.co.uk. that's it from me today. plenty more on our website and do follow us on social media now its back to the team at breakfast good morning from edinburgh. don't worry, you haven't overslept, your clock is not wrong, we are staying on air until 10am to bring you these remarkable pictures we are seeing in edinburgh this morning at the cathedral of st giles' on the royal mile in the old town, the capital of scotland. we have seen thousands of people, probably tens of thousands of people over night queueing up to pass the coffin of queen elizabeth ii, as people come here to pay their respects. the

crown of scotland, the oldest crown in the uk on top of the coffin, many people have told us they have been particularly moved to see that here. they spend only a few seconds inside. in silence some of them saying a prayer, some of them just thinking to themselves. but all of them here to pay tribute to the monarch who passed away on thursday last week. beautiful pictures. people have been telling us throughout this morning how they have got a sense of calm and peace. and serenity by being here. some people showing a deep outpouring of emotion inside the cathedral. after spending hours overnight, some of them waiting up to six hours in

pretty chilly conditions. the roads packed, waiting for more than a mile some of them, the queue was longer than a mile at times. it is better than a mile at times. it is better than that now, quicker than that now. the authorities here telling us that there may have to be a cut of point later today to ensure that the queen's coffin can leave edinburgh on time later this afternoon to be flown back to london, accompanied by the queen's daughter, the princess royal, princess anne who will fly with the coffin back to edinburgh and northolt and buckingham palace later. king charles will be at buckingham palace to welcome the coffin later today. before that, he is travelling to northern ireland today. he is visiting each of the four nations ahead of the funeral. john maguire is at belfast this morning, john what's happening there today?

cou nty county down, just outside the gates of hillsborough castle you can see the hill leading up to the castle just behind me to my right, crowds have been gathering since really early this morning hoping to get a glimpse of the king and queen consort. they will come here and one of the first things they will do is walk along and look at all of the floral tributes laid over recent days. most talking about the queen but most wishing him good fortune in his new post. i noticed many cards written to his majesty the king and his family, offering their condolences, their support. they are now all in front of the gates of hillsborough castle. it is the royal residence in northern ireland. the queen visited here 25 times during her lifetime as a princess and a queen. famously, two different communities here and she was viewed

very differently in both of those communities. but there are some similarities, there are some commonality certainly in terms of the way that people had affection, admiration for the queen in what she did, especially for the peace process. across northern ireland and across belfast, different communities have a very different relationship with the crown and with the woman who wore it for 70 years. here in the shankill road, this unionist mural created for the platinumjubilee this summer is now a memorial. adding his tribute is leo mcgregor who served 16 years in the british army. well, the thing is, when you take the oath of allegiance, you know, you take that oath for her majesty to serve and protect her. and, yeah, it hits home to military people, you know. the military family is a massive big family, and i think, you know, it's hit hard. the queen was a constant in people's lives across the generations. she was one really amazing woman and she always had a good fashion sense about her.

i loved always seeing her wee outfits, every time we've seen her on the tv, my granny loved her. and honestly it'll not be the same looking on the tv no more not seeing her. it'll be terrible, it's a sad, sad thing. people of the shankill are very loyal, very loyal and royal. tracey and her daughter isabel come here every day. a mark of respect for the queen and to show support for the new king. i am confident. he's had... he's had his whole life being trained by a woman who was strong, very independent... yes! ..and, you know, i think he will do a good job, yeah, i do. the queen reigned through some of the most turbulent and violent years of the united kingdom's post—war history. but throughout worked to build bridges. so, what was that day like, claire?

it felt like a hugely political event, and the lyric was going to be in the spotlight for something which could actually be a seismic shift for these islands. we were really proud, actually, to be chosen as the venue for it. in 2012, she came here to the lyric theatre and met martin mcguinness, the former ira commander who'd become northern ireland's deputy leader. a four—second handshake was momentous. i felt that this was going to be something that i could tell my children about. small gestures mean a lot here. shaking someone's hand is such a small thing to do and yet it meant a huge amount to the people here, i think, on all sides. everybody benefited from what happened that day. it was a significant gesture, so it was something that i wanted to actually visually lay my eyes upon. many nationalists who want a united ireland respect the queen for the person she was, even if they're opposed

to the monarchy itself. today, i wish to record the value and the respect i place on the significant contribution queen elizabeth made to the advancement of peace and to reconciliation between the different traditions on our island and between ireland and britain during the years of the peace process. it is appropriate that this is rightfully recognised in this chamber today. i recognise that she was a courageous and gracious leader. when the late deputy first minister martin mcguinness and i met with queen elizabeth in belfast in 2012, during her diamond jubilee and thereafter at windsor castle during the state visit of the president of ireland michael d higgins, in 2014, her warmth, her kindness and her unfailing courtesy towards us was appreciated. so, as he returns to northern ireland today as its monarch for the first time, the king will be following a legacy respected by so many people right across this land.

a tough act to follow, big shoes to fill somebody said to me the other day. after the king and queen consort come here today they will meet and sit down with political leaders from all sides and religious leaders from all sides and religious leaders from all faiths as well. they will head back to belfast for a special service of prayer and reflection on her majesty the queen's life at st anne's cathedral in the centre of belfast. that is where we can join annita mcveigh. good morning. good morning. thank you very much, good morning. final preparations being made at st anne's cathedral in belfast city centre of the royal couple arriving later. among the guests attending the service of reflection and thanksgiving for the queen will be the prime minister, liz truss, the irish prime minister and also the irish president michael

d higgins. in northern ireland, that relationship between monarchy and this place has a complex one because of the differing political and cultural traditions. but it is widely acknowledged that the contribution of the late queen made here were notjust symbolic but were really influential in promoting the cause of reconciliation. the handshake that john the handshake thatjohn was reporting on between the queen and the late martin mcguinness, many voices on both sides said that shouldn't happen but more voices, more people looked at that and said if the queen and martin mcguinness can shake hands we can get past our differences and work for the greater good. it is safe to say that politics now in northern ireland is not functioning as well as it was then because of the difficulties of then because of the difficulties of the northern ireland protocol,

post—brexit trading arrangements and the question for the new king is how he can continue the work of reconciliation that his late mother started. from belfast, let's go back to edinburgh. thank you. full coverage of the king's visit to northern ireland on the bbc throughout the day. we will just reflect on the situation in edinburgh as this city prepares to leave the gaze of the world because later today the coffin will be taken from st giles' cathedral back to london, buckingham palace before she will lie in state in westminster ahead of the state funeral next week. reflecting on different faiths and communities coming together, the perfect time for us to have a chat. the most reverand leo cushley is archbishop of st andrews and edinburgh and joins us now. good morning and thank you for your

time. what do you make of these scenes we are seeing in edinburgh this morning, it is remarkable, isn't it? people queueing for up to six hours in their tens of thousands. it six hours in their tens of thousands.— six hours in their tens of thousands. it is true, it is remarkable _ thousands. it is true, it is remarkable and _ thousands. it is true, it is remarkable and nobody i thousands. it is true, it is l remarkable and nobody has thousands. it is true, it is - remarkable and nobody has seen everything quite like this. 70 years has passed since the last time... interference— has passed since the last time... interference ., , ~ ., , ., interference nobody quite knows what a scri -t is for interference nobody quite knows what a script is for that _ interference nobody quite knows what a script is for that but _ interference nobody quite knows what a script is for that but i _ interference nobody quite knows what a script is for that but i am _ interference nobody quite knows what a script is for that but i am very - a script is for that but i am very proud of the way the city has come together and has, a truly unique occasion. ., together and has, a truly unique occasion. .. together and has, a truly unique occasion. ., occasion. you took part in the service at _ occasion. you took part in the service at st _ occasion. you took part in the service at st giles' _ occasion. you took part in the service at st giles' as - occasion. you took part in the service at st giles' as the i occasion. you took part in the i service at st giles' as the coffin was brought up from the palace of hollywood house, what was that like to take part in? a new king is there, his siblings are there, an extraordinary occasion in its own right. extraordinary occasion in its own ri . ht. . . extraordinary occasion in its own ri . ht. . , . , right. yes. it is true, it was beautifully _ right. yes. it is true, it was beautifully conducted. i right. yes. it is true, it was i beautifully conducted. deeply
