sandringham. 2,000 people will gather at westminster abbey on monday morning for the final farewell to britain's longest reigning monarch. world leaders, prime ministers past and present and foreign royals will be among those at the service which will last an hour before the queen's coffin is taken to windsor, where she will be laid to rest in st george's chapel beside the duke of edinburgh. 0ur royal correspondent nicholas witchell reports. it rests on the catafalque, a brightly lit coffin which has become the focus of a nation's sadness. within the ancient walls of westminster hall, so many emotions, so many individual expressions of gratitude and respect. thousands have already filed through, many tens of thousands more are expected over the weekend. and as the nation mourns, preparations are advancing for queen elizabeth's date funeral.
6:06 pm
the first procession will be from the palace of westminster to westminster abbey. at 10.35, the queen's coffin will be carried from westminster hall, it will be taken in procession via parliament square and broad sanctuary to the westgate of westminster abbey. it will arrive there at 10.52. the darkness of the early morning, all the elements are being meticulously rehearsed. the finishing touches to plans drawn up over many years. the procession to the abbey will be led by the massed pipes and drums of all the scottish and irish regiments in the british army. and this is the most visible sign that this is to be a full state funeral, the like of which we haven't seen in britain since winston churchill's in 1965. a state

6:08 pm
hyde park corner has not so far been disclosed, however, officials recognise the need for the public to be as closely involved as possible. the queen and indeed other members of the royal family, particularly prince philip when he was alive, took a close interest in this to try and make sure that it combined the dignity of the occasion, the formality of the occasion, with as much access as possible for people to see the coffin at close quarters. the final element of the funeral plan will see the hearse travelling up plan will see the hearse travelling up the long war at windsor, before eventually going down the slope to st george's chapel. inside the chapel, at four o'clock, the committal service will begin. at the end of it, the instruments of state will be removed from the coffin, and

disabled people or those with a long—term condition which means they can't queue for a long time canjoin an accessible queueing scheme so they can still pay their respects in person. 0ur correspondent sean dilley has more. the start of the journey. this is where many disabled people are signing up to pay their respects to the queen. so i suffer from autism, adhd and tourette's. jenny and her family have travelled from cheshire. it's a visit made possible thanks to this system. i'm a big royalist, so i really wanted to. so when i've seen this queue, it was like, "we're coming down." we made the decision like yesterday, and that was it. so grateful. very, very grateful. pam has travelled from edinburgh to collect her wristband. it's been lovely. we didn't think we were going to be able to do it. i couldn't have done that without this help. so this literally makes the difference...? totally, totally. i'm thrilled to bits that we're going to be able to do it. jenny, her daughter and retired guide dog andy have come to pay their respects, too.
6:14 pm
we were told it was going to be hours and hours, so we're very pleased to know there's this access queue, which has cut the time down hugely, i think. from here, people are given a time slot and told where to join the accessible queue. it's taken me just over ten minutes to walk the half—mile from the registration point here to the palace of westminster. people from both queues are entering the security point into westminster hall, where her late majesty is lying in state. around two hours after we first spoke, jenny and her family have arrived at westminster hall. their progress has been considerably quicker than for those who are able to stand in the main queue. for those who are unable to queue for long periods, appreciation. it was great. yeah. it was run smoothly. it's harder for people like us, it's harder for people who are disabled to do it, so it's nice to have that option. actually, it was very good, wasn't it? i out of ten, how inclusive and accessible do you think today was? definitely ten out of ten, as far as i'm concerned. i it was very moving as well, i
6:15 pm
as we were there, you know? there were no steps involved and no things... it was great, yeah. it was really good. it's a system that seems to be running smoothly so far. if it continues this way, it could allow thousands of disabled people who may otherwise miss the opportunity to pay their respects in person. sean dilley, bbc news. this is the government's live page with the latest update on the queue. you can see it is currently around four and a half miles long and the estimated queueing time is about eight hours. if you can't get to london and you do want to pay your respects... the bbc is offering a continuous, 24—hour view of the queen's lying—in—state. the service is available on the bbc home page, the bbc news website and app, the iplayer, on bbc parliament and the red button. the time is quarter past six.

6:17 pm
on an incredible career. he seemed one of sport's timeless talents. across more than two decades — and a fair few hairstyles — roger federer turned winning into a way of life. game, set and match, federer. but now one of the greatest players in history has announced there will be no more trophies. since winning a record eighth wimbledon title in 2017, federer�*s struggled with a knee injury. he's not played competitively this year, posting footage of his rehabilitation online. hopes were raised by pictures of him back on court, but today he took to social media to say that after one last event next week, he's retiring. i've worked hard to return to full competitive form, but i also know my body's capacity and limits, and its message to me lately has been clear. i am 41 years old, i've played more than 1,500 matches over 2a years. tennis has treated me more generously than i ever would have dreamt, and now i must recognise
6:18 pm
when it is time to end my competitive career. his statistics are staggering — his wimbledon crown back in 2003 the first of some 20 grand slam titles. but it wasn'tjust what he did. it was the way in which he did it. that style, that elegance, federer made the extraordinary look effortless. brilliance while it seemed barely breaking a sweat. i think he was one of the most beautiful tennis players that i've ever witnessed on the court, in terms of how he played the sport, the fluidity, the grace, the balletic sort of qualities and artistic qualities that he brought to the game. perhaps federer�*s greatest opponent, rafael nadal, also paid tribute... and so just weeks after serena williams announced her retirement, another legend leaves the stage.
6:19 pm
federer�*s exit from wimbledon last summer effectively his final bow, but the achievements will never fade of one of sport's most glittering stars. andy swiss, bbc news. china and russia have held their first summit—level talks since moscow's attack on ukraine. president putin thanked xi jinping for what he called china's balanced position on the war. but president putin did acknowledge that beijing also has concerns about russia's invasion of ukraine. 0ur russia editor steve rosenburg is in moscow. how significant is president putin's admission? first of all, the meeting itself was significant. a chance for vladimir putin to show that despite western sanctions, despite western efforts to try to isolate his country over the invasion of ukraine that russia still has powerful friends. the invasion of ukraine that russia still has powerfulfriends. and the invasion of ukraine that russia still has powerful friends. and then
6:20 pm
that admission. yes, significant, unexpected i think. vladimir putin saying i understand china has questions and concerns about the situation in ukraine. suddenly the kremlin leader revealing to the world that china is anxious, china is worried about the russian offensive there. that is interesting, it is something we haven't heard from beijing publicly, so signs perhaps of some friction between russia and china. what we don't know is what happened next when the journalists left the hole in the closed part of that meeting. we don't know whether president xi laid out in more detail his concerns to president putin, and we don't know whether the kremlin will be given pause for thought by those concerns. ,, .,, , given pause for thought by those concerns. ,, , ., ~ concerns. steve rosenberg, thank ou. you. now look at some stories making the news today... the chancellor kwasi kwarteng will deliver a mini—budget on friday next week where its expected he'll give more details on help with rising living costs and tax
