thousands of people are slowly filing past the coffin, with the queue stretching more than four kilometres across central london.

beautiful colours. very moving. it's the colours, i think, that's incredible. the orb, the sceptre, the crown. yeah, stunning. very solemn and serene and perfect. and in ukraine, president zelensky visits a newly—liberated city, after thousands of square miles are retaken from russian forces. we report from one town deserted by russian troops. over here on the wall, one interesting detail — a single word which someone has written in broken english. "sorry." hello and welcome. queen elizabeth ii is lying in state tonight, beneath the ancient timbers of westminster hall.

(take live os westminster hall). this is the scene live, in the oldest part of the palace of westminster. for the past six hours, thousands of people have been filing past her majesty's coffin to pay their final respects to a remarkable monarch. the queen will now lie in state for four full days, until monday, the morning of herfuneral. in a few minutes, we'll cross live to westminster to hear from some of those who've been queuing to bid their farewells to the queen, but first, our royal correspondent, nicholas witchell, has the story of the day. in a setting that is so familiar, where so often and so recently there has been celebration, today an event of the greatest solemnity. on the pavements around the palace and along the mall, spectators were quiet and still. at 2:22pm, the cortege stepped off.

gun salute a field gun sounded and the great bell known as big ben tolled. the coffin of her late majesty queen elizabeth ii was brought from buckingham palace, where it had rested for a final night with her family. the coffin was borne on a gun carriage. on the coffin rested a wreath and the imperial state crown. walking behind the coffin, the king with his siblings, the princess royal, the duke of york, who was not in uniform, and the earl of wessex.

dressed on either side with union flags. as the coffin went past, from spectators, respectful applause. from horse guards, the cortege passed through the archway

on past the cenotaph where, for so many years as queen, she had led the nation's mourning. now that nation, with others, mourns her. as the cortege approached parliament square and the palace of westminster, the applause from the pavements swelled. many of those who were watching had travelled from afar, feeling an overwhelming obligation to be present. each wanting to be part of this moment in the nation's history and leaving with a precious memory. seeing the queen on that carriage was just unbelievable, and it brings it all home that she's gone and we won't see her again. i definitely felt personally touched, it was a very memorable experience,

a memory that i will cherish. i have to be honest, _ i was so focused on the coffin that i i didn't actually end up seeingl the royals following her behind cos i wasjust, you know, - wanting to see the queen go. outside westminster hall, the bearer party from the grenadier guards took the queen's coffin on their shoulders. other members of the royal family were there. watching on the left, the duchess of sussex. the coffin, covered in the royal standard and surmounted by the queen's crown, was placed with care on the catafalque. by the queen's crown, was placed with care on the catafalque. o, god, the makerand redeemer of all mankind, grant us with thy servant queen elizabeth

and all the faithful departed the sure benefits of thy son's saving passion and glorious resurrection. for the royal family, it's clear that the loss of the queen is still being felt keenly. for all the stoicism, that quality that she represented in abundance, it is plain that some, the blood family and those who knew her over the years, are feeling very real grief. but now, the late queen has one final duty. into westminster hall came the first watch of the vigil. the ceremonial bodyguard of the monarch, and officers from the household cavalry, who will stand at the four points of the catafalque as the lying in state begins — and the people of britain and beyond have their chance to pay their final respects

to their late queen. nicholas witchell, bbc news. let's go now to zoe conway, who's at carriage gate in the palace of westminster in central london, where people have been queuing for the last few hours to pay their respects. it's been a few hours and people have been filing into westminster hall and filing out. give us a sense of what's happening a the. you can probably see behind me some lorries — the. you can probably see behind me some lorries parked _ the. you can probably see behind me some lorries parked out _ the. you can probably see behind me some lorries parked out there - the. you can probably see behind me some lorries parked out there full- some lorries parked out there full of sand, and they have been putting sand down across the road here in parliament square. that's to protect the hooves of the horses that have been involved of these ceremonial vents over the last few days. there are rehearsals going on constantly because the funeral is on monday, so that's what's happening here behind me. but what's also striking here tonight is just, me. but what's also striking here tonight isjust, apart me. but what's also striking here tonight is just, apart from the sound of the machinery, how quiet

and orderly it's been. it's an incredibly impressive operation that's been unfolding over the last 24 that's been unfolding over the last 2a hours here to get ready for the lying in state of the late queen. perhaps we shouldn't be surprised by that because after all, this has been decades in the planning and there will have been more and more updates in recent months to get everything to what feels like military precision here today. what's also been happening in the hall behind me, westminster hall, people have been quietly filing past, paying their respects to the late queen. from the people i've spoken to who have come out over the last few hours, they've talked really about how emotional it was for them. there wasn't necessarily audibly a great deal of weeping in that room, but there was certainly a huge amount of emotion, and i think

some people i spoke to were surprised at how much it hit them, how awestruck they were being there. one woman i spoke to was taken by how the queen's coffin is on a platform and that made her higher than everybody else in westminster hall when she was there. and she said to me, the queen did such a good job when she was alive of being amongst the people, but in that moment standing there in westminster hall and seeing her up high on that platform, it made me realise that she was so much more than a new —— a mere mortal. what people have also been saying who have been queuing today and who have been in westminster hall is how well organised they thought everything was and there's been quite a number of people who have managed to join the queue sort of mid—afternoon and

have left some seven hours later. so, for some people, they've felt it's moved a lot more quickly to than they feared.— it's moved a lot more quickly to than they feared. zoe, thanks so much for that. _ let's just take a quick look inside westminster hall. as you can see, despite the rather late hour here in london, the steady stream of people continues. hundreds of thousands of people expected to make that walk past the queen's coffin. president biden has had his first telephone conversation with king charles since the death of the queen. it comes ahead of his visit to the uk for the state funeral. the queen's death has been extensively covered by the american television networks. more from our north america correspondent, gary o'donoghue. outside the white house, the president again expressed according to the white house, the president again expressed

his condolences to the new king and talked about the queen's dignity and her kindness and her constancy, and how she deepened the friendship between britain and the united states. significantly also, i think he talked about continuing the closeness the queen had forged with something like a dozen presidents since the second world war, though that will take work because, in truth, king charles isn't as popular here as the queen was or, indeed, as some of the other royals are. but for the time being, the bidens will come to the funeral, they will arrive at the weekend to pay their respects. they said they wanted to do that within hours of the queen's passing. presidents come and go, prime ministers come and go — but with a new monarch, a new foundation, a new cornerstone has to be laid in the transatlantic relationship. and i think in good time, the king and his advisers will turn their minds on how to maintain and strengthen these historic ties that bind these two nations. thanks to gary for that. anyone

who's thinking of actually going to see the queen's lying in state, the uk government has dedicated web page where you can check how long the queueis where you can check how long the queue is at any time, so you can go onto the website there and see how long the wait will be if you join the back of the queue. onto other news now, and as ukrainian forces extend their counteroffensive to towns in the eastern donbas region, president zelensky has made a surprise visit to territory recently freed by his army. in the city of izyum, he vowed to take back all ukrainian territory from the russians, but said he did not know when. our senior international correspondent, orla guerin, has the latest from the kharkiv region in the northeast. after months of shattering losses, plenty to smile about. ukraine's president, volodymyr zelensky, came to thank his troops for their stunning advance.

everyone wanted a selfie. this was in izyum, a strategic city now free of the russians. he's vowed to drive them out everywhere else. so, it means that we will come. i don't know when, and nobody knows when. but we have plans, so we'll come. because it's our land, and it's our people. that's why we'll come. but liberation is still new, and, in some areas, still tense. we managed to reach the village of lyptsi, along a road lined with destruction. the russian border is just a few miles away stop the area the russian border is just a few miles away. the area was only freed on sunday. 75—year—old ivan is coming to see how the enemy lived, how they made themselves at home

in a makeshift base. getting a glimpse of theirfitness equipment and the washing they left behind. he says the russians could come back, and he is weighed down by worries. translation: i'm worried about everything. - notjust people, but animals and birds, and the soil which was shelled. they're destroying everything. it's really painful. it's even hard to breathe. nearby, the spot where the occupiers did target practice. local people say there were russian and chechen forces here. the conditions are pretty squalid. they've left a lot of

ammunition boxes behind. some of them even fled without their boots, which were left outside. but over here on the wall, one interesting detail. one interesting detail — a single word, which someone has written in broken english. "sorry." galina says they should be sorry. her garden used to be carpeted with lilies. now, it's listed with the debris of a russian attack. now, it's littered with the debris of a russian attack. she tells me the occupiers hid in the trees and fired day and night. "i'm not the way i was," she says. "i haven't recovered. "they haven't broken me, but i am lost deep down in my soul." now, somehow, galina

and her neighbours must rebuild. but the trauma of occupation is writ large here. orla guerin, bbc news, lyptsi. melinda haring is deputy director of the atlantic council's eurasia centre, a think—tank. she joins me from washington. thanks so much for coming on the programme. thanks so much for coming on the programme-— thanks so much for coming on the| programme._ let's programme. glad to be here. let's talk about this _ programme. glad to be here. let's talk about this remarkable - programme. glad to be here. let's talk about this remarkable counter| talk about this remarkable counter of there from ukrainian forces. it was quick and successful, and the production now must surely be able so down. they can't keep up that pace —— the presumption. so down. they can't keep up that pace -- the presumption.- pace -- the presumption. that's riaht, pace -- the presumption. that's right. the _ pace -- the presumption. that's right, the ukrainian _ pace -- the presumption. that's right, the ukrainian forces - pace -- the presumption. that's right, the ukrainian forces have | right, the ukrainian forces have already said things are starting to slow down. it was stunning. it was momentous. you can use all these words. the point is, it was a turning point. we've had three different sections of the war. we had the battle for kyiv, ukraine

—— kharkiv. it's double the size of the city of london, which is a huge expanse, but let's be honest and sober about what lies next — it's going to be hard going. it's not going to be hard going. it's not going to be as easy as it was over the past five days, particularly in the past five days, particularly in the south. in the city of kherson, there's three levels of deficiencies. —— defences. it's going to take a matter of time. people are complaining that the ukrainian forces don't have enough of the have artillery symptoms they need. the biden administration is still saying no thank you. they are also begging for more air defences to protect the ukrainian people. interestingly, the attack on the south, if and when it comes, that

one key ingredient is a surprise because of parts of this counteroffensive that we've just witnessed is this was pretty well the size. —— disguise. there is decoy activity in the south, then they could retake that area elsewhere. once we focus on the south, and you don't have the element of surprise either. look, don't underestimate _ element of surprise either. look, don't underestimate the - element of surprise either. look, i don't underestimate the ukrainian. we've all made so many mistakes underestimating them. they are very clever. they have played with a much smaller, weaker military and have surprised us time and time again. i'm not willing to say that what they did with the decoy was brilliant, and i think they will probably try to find a way to do that again. they exploited vulnerabilities in the russian line, and i expect that to be their strategy. but they keep throwing the russian forces off but they struck crimea multiple times. i think there will be more surprises to come. it’s will be more surprises to come. it's alwa s will be more surprises to come. it's always great to have you on and get

your thoughts. mr; always great to have you on and get your thoughts-_ your thoughts. my pleasure, thank ou. dignitaries from around the world have been invited to the funeral. the australian prime minister, anthony albanese, has chosen ten ordinary australians to accompany him to the funeral. one of them is danny abdallah. he co—founded the charity i—forgive with his wife after an appalling family tragedy. let's bring in danny abdallah, who's in sydney. thank you so much for coming on the programme. we will get to your story because it is absolutely tragic. first of all, because i'm sure it was a surprise to you, just a moment where the prime minister of australia bring you up and invited you to join australia bring you up and invited you tojoin him on this trip australia bring you up and invited you to join him on this trip to

the queen there who is lying in state in westminster hall. i'm lewis vaughanjones, this is bbc news. hello there. wednesday was a fine day for most of us and of course those of us and of course, those who started to queue to see the queen lying in state, there were some cleaner skies later in the evening across the capital. for many, though, clearer skies into thursday morning means it could turn quite chilly, especially across scotland, the far north—east of england. especially across scotland, a bit of cloud across eastern areas of england and overnight temperatures generally speaking staying in double figures across the south. but as i mention, to the north, two or three degrees in the north—east of scotland. but then, during thursday, for most, it's going to be a dry day, the cloud across eastern parts may produce the odd shower towards east anglia and the south—east of england. showers also for northern ireland and across scotland being

brought on in the rather brisk north—easterly wind. brought on in a rather brisk north—easterly wind. temperatures here lower again, 11 or 12 celsius, and a fresher day for england and wales, compared to wednesday, but still, in that september sunshine, it should feel pleasant enough. but it will turn cooler still as we get to the end of the week. look at those blues there from the arctic, that a mass coming further south across the uk. that mass coming further south across the uk. that air mass coming further south across the uk. high pressure to the west, low to the east — that's why you've got that northerly wind. it means that for early friday, temperatures for many of us could well be in single figures, the first proper chill of the autumn. now, with a rather strong north to north—westerly wind, we'll see showers coming in along the north sea coast towards east anglia. drierfurther west — again there will be some sunshine and lighter winds, and that's where you'll find the highest temperatures, south wales, south—west england, 19 degrees, but look at those temperatures down the eastern coast of scotland and in eastern england, 12—14 celsius. and, of course, the focus is for london, if you are coming to the capital over the next few

days, it is at least looking dry with some sunshine, 15 or 16 celsius, sunshine, 15 or 16 celsius. but it's overnight that you might want to be prepared for because those temperatures will be dropping down over the weekend, as we mentioned earlier, into single figures. but for the weekend, high pressure is still there. the winds will slowly ease off across the north sea, so still a few showers perhaps at times but as that high pressure moves in further, we'll see those winds just easing off slightly, so dry with some sunny spells for many into the bank holiday monday and the queen's state funeral with temperatures round about 15—17 celsius.

hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me in the studio is royal commentator richard fitzwilliams and joining me in the studio chief political correspondent of the telegraph, camilla turner. hello to you both. tomorrow's front pages, starting with... the queen's lying—in—state takes the lead in most of the papers,

here's the telegraph showing the royal family delivering her coffin to the public. "your nation stands with you, ma'am" on the front of the daily express. the metro features a dazzling picture of the state crown resting on top of the late queen's coffin. the guardian shows king charles iii following behind his late mother. "her crown and glory" says the times with a picture of the queen's grenadier guards laying the regiment�*s flag. a slightly different picture in the mirror, showing emotional princes william and harry alongside their wives catherine and meghan. and, finally, the same picture of the royal family grieving in a special edition of the sun, stating "we share your pain." so let's begin... an extraordinary selection of

photographs on most of the front pages. hello, camilla, hello, richard. richard, let's start with you, thank you for coming in. we could almost page —— take any front page, all the images are so powerful, they have been away, picture editors have really excelled themselves in capturing some of the emotion on display throughout the days. let's look at the front page of the daily mail. the days. let's look at the front page of the daily mail.— of the daily mail. the daily mail, the l int of the daily mail. the daily mail, the lying in _ of the daily mail. the daily mail, the lying in state, _ of the daily mail. the daily mail, the lying in state, this _ of the daily mail. the daily mail, the lying in state, this is - of the daily mail. the daily mail, the lying in state, this is where i the lying in state, this is where the lying in state, this is where the queen lies at the moment and will forfour and a half the queen lies at the moment and will for four and a half days and what we are hearing —— seeing is the fantastic image which eliminates the royal standard and this is a visual capped by four guards in front of the coffin. it is very spectacular. one of thing that is so extraordinary about this of course

is that in westminster hall where she is lying in state, and where we as we speak mourners are filing past, is so regimented history dating back, quite literally be done ijy dating back, quite literally be done by the son of william the conqueror and much of it still standing from richard the second who was responsible for the roof, and some of the great ceremonies of state, it used to be law courts and king charles the first was put on trial there and also william wallace and quite amazing, sir thomas more, and then where churchill lay, and where people filed past. this then where churchill lay, and where people filed past.— people filed past. this is the live scene now _ people filed past. this is the live scene now of _ people filed past. this is the live scene now of the _ people filed past. this is the live scene now of the extraordinary l people filed past. this is the live - scene now of the extraordinary space you are talking about. the history of westminster is extraordinary. it's amazing, the likes of, well,

over 25 years, that fateful funeral of princess diana, diana princess of wales, the terrible car crash and subsequently of course william aged 15 and harry aged 12 and he said it was a deeply scarring experience walking behind the catapult —— because i felt and you imagine they will be thinking emotionally, tremendously sad with the memory of that and now having lost very suddenly someone who was truly remarkable constant over 70 years and i am hoping that some form of reconciliation, and the front page emphasises this and we have the memoir supposedly coming later in

the year it would be a much more appropriate thing if it was postponed because if there was anything in it, and i don't know how he could write it without it being controversial, because king charles or the queen consort grief, that would further deepen the rift. i prefer the daily star, have to say, shoulder to shoulder, but it does say underneath, but it does seem that the sussexes seem to be unpredictable and that isn't helpful, considering the enormity of what we are experiencing now, i am just hoping that somehow, some form of reconciliation that lasts will start. , ., ,, , ., of reconciliation that lasts will start. , . ~' , ., , start. interesting. thank you very much for that _ start. interesting. thank you very much for that summary _ start. interesting. thank you very much for that summary of - start. interesting. thank you very much for that summary of the - start. interesting. thank you very i much for that summary of the wider family issues which as you say the daily mirror and the sun have focused in on with their images on the front page. camilla, let's go to the front page. camilla, let's go to the front page of the daily telegraph, their images closer to what we have been watching this

might be able to think of some sort of way that this might be increased. ijust of way that this might be increased. i just wanted to of way that this might be increased. ijust wanted to mention this very spectacular, only a small photograph, but the sun set behind big ben, it reminded me of when the queen's father george vi died, queen elizabeth wrote in her diary, the sunset of his death changed the whole world sky. i thought rather an appropriate... it is whole world sky. i thought rather an appropriate- - -_ appropriate... it is a lovely picture- — appropriate... it is a lovely picture- just _ appropriate... it is a lovely picture. just before - appropriate... it is a lovely picture. just before we - appropriate... it is a lovely i picture. just before we leave, because weight of not accusing the crowds, there is a helpful website that the uk government has decided to launch, and it is basically a website showing the length of the queuein website showing the length of the queue in real time, so this is the website by now, this is the live page, you can see, the purple line is the queue, that is the back of the queue, if anyone is thinking

aboutjoining in, so it is about two and a half miles long at the moment. we may well return to this story but there are other stories on the front page. camilla, taken to the front page. camilla, taken to the front page of the guardian, a really important and harrowing story at the bottom there, people disappeared, izyum records horror of occupation, this is the latest in ukraine. yes. this is the latest in ukraine. yes, this is the latest in ukraine. yes, this is the latest in ukraine. yes, this is an incredibly _ this is the latest in ukraine. yes, this is an incredibly powerful dispatch— this is an incredibly powerful dispatch from izyum, one of the strategically important towns that has been — strategically important towns that has been recaptured by ukraine and liberated _ has been recaptured by ukraine and liberated by the ukrainian forces in the last— liberated by the ukrainian forces in the last week from the russians. this piece — the last week from the russians. this piece of writing talks about the destruction and are really best scenes— the destruction and are really best scenes of— the destruction and are really best scenes of horror that the journalists are able to see on the streets _ journalists are able to see on the streets of— journalists are able to see on the streets of izyum. —— really, the scenes— streets of izyum. —— really, the scenes of— streets of izyum. —— really, the scenes of horror. the carcasses, the progress _ scenes of horror. the carcasses, the progress assemble etched into them.

to the queen and their memories of meeting her, and what is clear is that, so often and for so many, a handshake, a photograph, even the briefest conversation created lasting memories — might, in some cases, have changed someone's life — and i'd like to share some of those memories with you over the course of the next few days. one thing so many have said about the queen is how much they love her smile. alan from west lothian in scotland managed to get a fantastic shot of that smile. look at that! he took this photograph in 1982 on a royal visit to edinburgh, and he says as a local photographer, he'd been told to keep out of the way. but he took his chance and he managed to get this photo — and didn't he do well? it's not been widely

published until this moment. he says he's pleased that people can finally see what he saw of the queen, and no doubt, those filing past the coffin tonight will remember that smile. it was, of course, and uplifting smile that many people will have seen around the country. someone else who created an image of the queen is henry ward, who painted a portrait in 2016. hejoins us from ontario, canada. goodness me, so you sat there with the queen, a sitting, and what happens in those moments? it's a very private moment, what sort of atmosphere was there? good evening. yes, it was quite remarkable, to be honest with you. when you'ren sitting there with the queen and she comes out wearing the garter robes. it's quite the most remarkable moment. and you have to steel yourself because her majesty had an incredible presence about her. you get to the point where you realise it's not going to assist you if you feel completely bombed by her presence, so you have to just calm down and realise that the best way to get to the queen socially is just to talk to her.

so, we got about to talking very quickly, and eventually, at a certain point, you realise that the people that have assisted this project into reality, the red cross and the fundraising committee raising the awareness of the charity and also my friend and the charity and also my friend and the asher who said to me, if she's wearing the garter robes, they are very hot, they are very heavy, and you must her to sit down and ask her if she would like to remove the garter robes and i said, i feel uncomfortable asking the queen is she is uncomfortable and he said she is there to help you. that is the thing that's down and stands out in my mind, she was so willing to help people, she wanted put people at ease. when angela kelly, who was in

the room with my wife and i, and she came to remove that garter robes, though is, when she unclipped the robes, it was as if the mantle of the monarchy... it was almost as if you were sitting with your most favourite grandmother. she was wise, magnificent, extremely experienced, and for all of her majesty, she wore it with such levity and such unbelievable style, she was unbelievably beautiful. obviously she would have sat for great painters in her time, did she discuss her interesting painting? did she discuss what she wanted to see? whether any instructions at all? no, and that is where one's role is very complex because you can't ever really be completely alone in the

creative process in the studio, sometimes you come to moments where you would have to bat out of there, refocus on what it was you were trying to say and move forward in the knowledge that people now for the knowledge that people now for the rest of time would be looking at it. what i would say it she said to me after she had agreed to unveil it, she had said, this plating needs to be seen. i it, she had said, this plating needs to be seen-— it, she had said, this plating needs to be seen. ., , to be seen. i need to “ump in there, at the unveiling, _ to be seen. i need to jump in there, at the unveiling, there _ to be seen. i need to jump in there, at the unveiling, there must - to be seen. i need to jump in there, at the unveiling, there must be - to be seen. i need to jump in there, at the unveiling, there must be the| at the unveiling, there must be the most daunting moment. it is at the unveiling, there must be the most daunting moment.— at the unveiling, there must be the most daunting moment. it is the best art most daunting moment. it is the best part because — most daunting moment. it is the best part because that _ most daunting moment. it is the best part because that is _ most daunting moment. it is the best part because that is when _ most daunting moment. it is the best part because that is when your - most daunting moment. it is the best part because that is when your year i part because that is when your year of work is when you get your painting seen by her and she was there and she unveiled it and it was quite wonderful, actually, we had the press association there, they would take those wonderful photographs of it and, yes, that was actually the best part.— actually the best part. where is the ttaintin actually the best part. where is the painting now? _ actually the best part. where is the painting now? it— actually the best part. where is the painting now? it currently - actually the best part. where is the painting now? it currently hangs i actually the best part. where is the painting now? it currently hangs in| painting now? it currently hangs in the savoy hotel— painting now? it currently hangs in the savoy hotel in _ painting now? it currently hangs in the savoy hotel in london - painting now? it currently hangs in the savoy hotel in london on i painting now? it currently hangs in the savoy hotel in london on the l the savoy hotel in london on the thames foyer. the savoy hotel in london on the thames foyer-—

but that northerly breeze is picking up and it's quite a brisk wind that will continue to blow showers in for the rest of this evening and overnight to northern and eastern areas, one or two for the north sea coast, and also one or two coming in across northern ireland and western coasts of england and wales as well. but inland, a chilly night, chilly again in the glens of scotland, possibly a touch of grass frost here. and even though double figures further south, it will feel fresher. we've lost that humidity now that has been with us for this part of the week. and that cold northerly wind is coming right the way down from the arctic, and so too is our air, and that will continue to filter southwards. so we're in for some chilly nights and some fresher days, but still there's strength in the september sunshine, and plenty of that around on offer first thing thursday, the cloud come and goes. again, quite a few showers and the odd sharp shower across northern and eastern scotland, moving into eastern england. one or two further west across northern ireland and the irish sea coast of england and wales as well, perhaps the cheshire gap, but it might be that we only see 18

or 19 on thursday. that'll be the first day since early june that we haven't had 20 degrees somewhere in the uk. sojust an indication that it is quite a cool airflow, and quite a brisk wind as well through thursday and into friday, particularly around the coast further showers, but inland temperatures continue to dip away. so we'll get single figures in the countryside further south as well. the winds probably going to peak thursday into friday, particularly for north sea coasts and there will be plenty more showers working their way southwards on a weather system, perhaps fewer, and the wind starting to fall lighter further west because high pressure is starting to build in during the course of friday, into northern ireland, western fringes of england and wales, and then over the weekend across much of the uk. so if you're heading to london, a fresher 15 or 16, but feeling pleasant enough in the sunshine, just an outside chance of a shower, but through the evening and overnight, early morning, it really will feel chilly, perhaps the first widespread chilly snap of the autumn. but otherwise, there's a lot of dry

and settled weather on the forecast.

this is bbc news. i'm lewis vaughanjones with the latest headlines for viewers in the uk and around the world. paying their final respects — this is the scene in the palace of westminster, where queen elizabeth lies in state ahead of her funeral. it follows a solemn procession from buckingham palace, with a horse—drawn gun carriage bearing her majesty.
