good morning, welcome to breakfast with charlie stayt in westminster and nina warhurst in the studio in salford. our headlines today — king charles will make his first visit to wales today as monarch. he'll host a reception at cardiff castle and meet the first minister. thousands of people spend the night queing to pay their final respects to queen elizabeth in westminster hall, as more details are revealed about monday's state funeral. the queue to enter westminster hall continues to grow.

it's currently more than four miles long, with waiting times of up to nine hours. away from westminster, today's other headlines — authorities in ukraine say they're investigating evidence of a mass grave in the city of izyum, which was recently liberated from russian occupation. disruption for thousands of british travellers today, as air traffic controllers in france go on strike. and it's farewell to one of the greatest tennis players of all time, as roger federer announces his retirement. good morning. it's friday september the 16th. you're watching bbc breakfast from westminster, where her majesty the queen has spent a second night lying in state. the queue to enter westminster hall is now stretching back 3.6 miles, as thousands more people wait to pay their respects.

here are some of the images here at westminster towards the end of the queue. the queueing time changes hour by hour, but at the moment it is approximately nine hours for those people queueing to pay their respects. this evening, all four of her majesty's children — king charles, princess anne, prince andrew, and prince edward — will keep a silent vigil by their mother's coffin. before that, the king and queen consort will travel to cardiff, completing their tour of the uk. danjohnson dan johnson reports. public engagement is already an early hallmark of king charles reign. even in grief, he's made time to meet people, first in scotland, before greeting crowds on a visit to northern ireland. he also shook hands outside buckingham palace shortly after the queen's death was announced. and today, he and the queen consort

will travel to wales, completing the prince and princess of wales william and catherine were at sandringham in norfolk to see the flowers left for the queen and to exchange a few words. i love his little guardsman, and a paddington as well. we spoke to william and we spoke to kate. they both said about their outfits how nice they were. they're just really nice in general.

we thanked them for the queen and everything she's done and all the things they're doing for everyone, it'sjust so nice. and william was asked about that walk behind his grandmother's coffin on wednesday during the broadcast. it was challenging, but also pretty good. the earl and countess of wessex met people in manchester and lit candles for the queen at the city's cathedral. and this was princess anne back in scotland to greet crowds in glasgow. as the solemn stream of mourners continues paying their respects in westminster, we're learning more detail about monday's state funeral. there have been rehearsals in the darkness of the early hours to check everyone knows their place and performs their role with perfect precision. and it is the senior armed service,

150 sailors of the royal navy, who have the traditional responsibility of hauling the state gun carriage. it will actually be the last thing i do in uniform before retiring. so for me to be able to convey her majesty to her resting place in my last day in uniform is an honour that is really difficult to put in to words. my grandfather lined the streets for her coronation, and i'm going to be lining the streets for her funeral, and to think i get some kind of symmetry and circularity out of that, and that i now get to welcome his majesty the king onto the throne, and my grandfather and my father both served the queen. parliament square has been very busy with people during the lying in state, but by monday morning, it will all be secure, because it is only a shortjourney will all be secure, because it is only a short journey from westminster hall across to westminster hall across to westminster abbey, westminster hall across to westminsterabbey, but westminster hall across to westminster abbey, but gathered inside there will be hundreds of

world leaders and heads of state. it is such a rare occasion for so many of them to be in the same place at once. so consider the work of the police and many others in organising all of this and keeping everyone safe. sniffer dog scout is here from cumbria, one of many extra resources brought into the capital. at the end of the service, in the place queen was crowned, two minutes of silence will be observed across the country. then the procession heads from the abbey up the mall past buckingham palace and along constitution hill to hyde park corner and the wellington arch, where the coffin will be transferred to the state hearse for the drive to windsor, up the long walk to the castle, and then st george's chapel for another service at 4.00. there is then a private ceremony where the queen's coffin will be laid to rest alongside that of prince philip. before that, three more days for the public to pay their respects in their own way,

for their own reasons. the queue last night stretched five miles, all the way back to southwark, putting its full capacity. the long wait has been sustained by kindness and friendship. so you have known each other for what? seven hours. just seven hours, and now we have got a group circle of friends we will keep in contact with, sending updates. yeah, which is beautiful. another wonderful thing the queen has done for us. that is the only sound punctuating the profound solemn silence, a signal every 20 minutes for a change of guards. and tonight it will be her majesty's four children, including the king, who will take their place and stand

at the four corners of her coffin in quiet vigil. danjohnson, bbc news, westminster. sarah campbell is with me. what we witnessed yesterday and on to today as the meticulous planning that has gone into all the events seamlessly with people streaming through. absolutely, it is genuinely impressive, i think, absolutely, it is genuinely impressive, ithink, the good—natured nurse of the queue i think is testament to the successful planning of this. it is a long walk, people i've spoken to who just finished so that took them nine hours, but there is no sense of regret and doing it, everybody really finding that moment when they finally get to westminster hall, that the special moment of spending those few moments of the monarch, i'm just watching people picking up litter, moving the bins around,

security all over the place, everyone in a veryjovial mood, just trying to make this work, because there isn't that long for the number of people that will want to come and pay their respects to the queen, so everyone really focused on getting as many people through as possible. and look ahead now to what we can see in terms of the movements of the royal family. king charles for example is going to wales for the first time as monarch.— example is going to wales for the first time as monarch. yes, although he was still — first time as monarch. yes, although he was still working _ first time as monarch. yes, although he was still working yesterday, - he was still working yesterday, going through those red boxes and culling readers around the world who are bringing to offer their condolences, the king will be out and about in public again making his first visit to wales as king along with the queen consort. —— calling leaders around the world. william and catherine will be visiting an army training centre, they will be speaking to commonwealth troops who have been brought over here to help with the logistics to do with the funeral, the state funeral, on monday. and then the season, another one of those very poignant moments,

king charles and his siblings will take their place around the coffin and hold a vigilfor 15 minutes, and thatis and hold a vigilfor 15 minutes, and that is this evening at 7.30, one of those moments when we will stop and watch those pictures taken the enormity of what is happened. thanks ve much, enormity of what is happened. thanks very much, sarah. _ in a moment, we'll have the reaction from those that have paid their final respects to the queen as they leave westminster hall, with ben wright. first, our correspondent nick beake is at the very back on the queue. nick, can you give us an idea of how many people are joining that line? good morning, charlie. let mejust tell you _ good morning, charlie. let mejust tell you where we are. the lights of the city _ tell you where we are. the lights of the city of — tell you where we are. the lights of the city of london over there, have a look_ the city of london over there, have a look at _ the city of london over there, have a look at tower bridge this morning, eliminated _ a look at tower bridge this morning, eliminated in regal purple, a beautiful sight. if you just come with me. — beautiful sight. if you just come with me, you can see extremes and streams— with me, you can see extremes and streams of—

we have had from people saying it has a genuine effect. several people have said that _ has a genuine effect. several people have said that to _ has a genuine effect. several people have said that to me _ has a genuine effect. several people have said that to me this _ have said that to me this morning, they walk into at westminster hall, this ancient heart of westminster, they stand at the top of the stone steps and looked down on the whole, the centre of which is the green's coffin —— looked down at the hall. —— the queen's coffin. it's just hits you, there is a pin drop silence and there, all the chatter and camaraderie of the queue disappears and the mood changes dramatically as people filed past either side of the queen's coffin and pay their own private respects. everybody takes a second or two, theyjust everybody takes a second or two, they just take a everybody takes a second or two, theyjust take a moment to think about the queen, the enormity of this occasion, then the file out through carriage gates here, one of the main exit of the houses of parliament, into the daybreak and many people reflect on what they have seen. they are also saying goodbye to friends they have made

over the course of the night. hugs with people who a few hours ago were strangers, but in the course of a long cold night, queueing up along the river thames in south london, crossing the bridge at lambeth and then coming through to westminster, have shared life stories, experiences, stories of the queen. and now the parting quite close friends overnight. as you have been saying, this evening at the king and his three siblings will be here taking part themselves in that vigil at the queen's coffin.— at the queen's coffin. ben, thank ou. we at the queen's coffin. ben, thank you- we will _ at the queen's coffin. ben, thank you. we will be _ at the queen's coffin. ben, thank you. we will be keeping - at the queen's coffin. ben, thank you. we will be keeping up - at the queen's coffin. ben, thank you. we will be keeping up with l at the queen's coffin. ben, thank - you. we will be keeping up with both correspondence over the course of the day. looking at where we are this morning, i cannot see any of the moment, but quite a few people wearing those silver blankets, because obviously it has got colder and people are feeling the chill this morning. back of people it was a litter in the programme. —— back

with people later in the programme. the queen's death is being mourned across the commonwealth, but of course, every country's relationship to the monarchy is shaped by its own history. 0n cyprus, the reaction to her majesty's death has been divided, as our correspondent anna foster reports. more than 2,000 miles from home, this corner of cyprus feels distinctly british, and within the expat community here, the queen's death is keenly felt. tracey moved here eight years ago from milton keynes. don't get that on camera! sad. wishing i could go home to be part of it, to be honest. she's like part of the family. she's been there for everyone's life. and it's like losing your nan, isuppose. yeah. sad. ijust love the queen. that's it, really?

and she was always ready to share her own experience or giving her own advice. 0n the queen's only visit to cyprus in 1993, she was booed by noisy demonstrators. they blamed her for not pardoning nine arrested aoki militants before they were hanged for fighting against british rule. but the monarchy had already delegated responsibility for granting mercy in the colonies to governors years before. this is a well—known site in nicosia, the liberty monument, dedicated to the memory of the liberation fighters. and it shows you how much that history is still branded into the national memory here, and why among cypriots, reaction to the queen's death has been muted. many cypriots we asked expressed little regret about the queen's death, but none that we spoke to were prepared to do it on camera. i know it's a bad thing. it's a dark thing, but they're definitely not sad. they don't really care,

to be honest, but they're like, "0k, she's dead," kind of thing. that's how they are in cyprus. cyprus has no plans to leave the commonwealth, but the island's divided reaction to the queen's death is a real symbol of its troubled history. anna foster, bbc news, cyprus. the bbc is offering a dedicated stream of the queen's lying—in—state for those who want to pay their respects but who can't come to london, or who are unable to queue. the service is available on the bbc home page, the bbc news website, the iplayer, bbc parliament, and the red button. time for a look at the weather with sarah. good weather with sarah. morning. the weather feels a little good morning. the weather feels a little cooler and fresher than it has done recently. for many, a largely dry day with some sunshine, but some showers in the forecast as well. particularly affecting northern and eastern scotland and east coast of england as well or two further west through the morning as

well, so many of us looking dry with sunny spells, temperatures for the most part about ia to sunny spells, temperatures for the most part about 1a to 18 celsius. almost towards the south—west, cooler with those blustery winds closer to the east coast, and the sharp showers, too. tonight, still some showers and eastern parts, but elsewhere looking dry, clear and chilly, we could see an isolated touch of grass frost into saturday morning. if you plan to come to london over the next few days, bear in mind it will feel a bit cooler than recently, particularly overnight. chance of a passing shower predominantly over the next few days looking dry. through the course of saturday, still a few showers for north—east scotland and eastern england, but fewer compared to today, the wind is a little lighter as well. sunny spells for most of us, lots of dry weather on the cards attempt is between 1a to 19 celsius on saturday. into sunday and beyond, high pressure not far away, dominating our weather, and beyond, high pressure not far away, dominating ourweather, but and beyond, high pressure not far away, dominating our weather, but a few weather fronts around trying to

move in. so i think it would be cloudy day as a weak front pushes its way south on sunday, but most places dry, a bit of abuse towards the east coast winds again but fewer showers, and top temperatures on sunday between 13 and 19 celsius. bye for now. we'll have more from charlie and the team in westminster throughout the morning. now let's take a look at some of today's other news. officials in ukraine say they've found evidence of mass graves around the recently liberated city of izyum. 0ur correspondent hugo bachega is in kyiv. hugo, what can you tell us about this discovery? authorities say they have found as many as a00 crosses in a forest outside the city of izyum in north—east ukraine, and study officials will begin at the work to exhume some of those bodies. —— today officials will begin the work. early reports suggest some of the

victims may have died because of bombing, also a lack of health care, there are signs that at least one of those graves contain the bodies of more than a dozen ukrainian soldiers. izyum is obviously one of the cities that has been liberated by the ukrainian army after months of russian occupation in the region, and last night president volodymyr zelensky compared the situation in the city to what happened in another city in the early days of the war, where the russian troops are accused of war crimes. he said russia was leaving death everywhere and must be held accountable. if leaving death everywhere and must be held accountable.— travellers are being warned of disruption to flights today, as french air traffic controllers go on strike. hannah's been looking at this for us. yes, this is expected to impact tens of thousands of passengers, notjust if you're travelling

to and from france, but also most flights to countries like spain and portugal, which usually fly in french air space. the country's air traffic control staff are striking over pay and recruitment. so here's how it could impact anyone planning to travel. ryanair says it's had to cancel more than a00 flights today, affecting 80,000 passengers. it says all of them have already been notified. meanwhile, easyjet is cancelling 76 flights to and from the uk, apparently at the request of french authorities. and british airways will cancel 22 flights to and from london heathrow, and is warning of some on—the—day delays to other flights. and there's going to be some disruption to flights on monday too? yes, huge day of course for the queen's funeral. heathrow airport is stopping

all arrivals and departures for 15 minutes before and after the two minutes' silence, as well as limiting them at key points later in the day. the aim is to cut noise levels, and the airport says will affect around 15% of its schedule. so far, we've heard from british airways, who say 100 flights are being cancelled as a result, mostly on short—haul european routes. and virgin atlantic has announced four of its flights between los angeles, san francisco, and heathrow will also be cancelled. if you're affected, you should be offered alternative flights or a refund. the advice, as always, is to check the latest flight information before you travel to the airport. always. hannah, thank you. the funeral of a nine—year—old girl who was shot dead in her own home has taken place. 0livia pratt—korbel died when a gunman fired into her house in liverpool while chasing another man. a £50,000 reward has been offered for information leading directly to a conviction.

researchers in australia say they've found evidence of the world's oldest heart. it was discovered in a 380—million—year—old fossil of a gogo fish, which is now extinct. this is an artist's impression. the fossil captures a key moment in the evolution of all animals with backbones, including humans. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning from bbc london, i'm tolu adeoye. the mayor of london sadiq khan is among those who've been paying their respects to the queen lying in state in westminster hall. large numbers of people queued up again through the night. the queue is now four miles long and has reached southwark park. today is her majesty's second full day lying in state. the period ends at 6.30am on monday. the queue is likely

to be cut off early. the queen carried out many visits during times of distress over her reign — one of the most high profile was to north kensington shortly after the grenfell tower fire. the queen met emergency services, survivors and volunteers two days after the tragedy. we'll be hearing from some of those she met on our 6.30pm programme later today. other news now. and students at greenwich university have created a garden in memory of sabina nessa, who was murdered by a stranger as she walked through a park in kidbrooke. tomorrow marks a year since the primary school teacher was killed. students at her former university have been campaigning against male violence against women. there was a sense of alarm and women were really panicking. a lot of them live quite near to sabina. a lot of them were concerned about their own safety. and, for me, itjust felt that there was nowhere for them to channel that energy and feel a bit more supported. so i think that is sort of... that formed the basis of starting

up the sabina project. let's take a look at the travel situation. there's a good service on the tubes this morning, except for the district line, which has been part suspended. now the weather with elizabeth rizzini. hello there. good morning. well, it's a chilly start to the day. temperatures for many of us having dropped back into single figures last night. and today in general will feel cooler across the capital than it has been for some time. now there is the small chance of one or two isolated showers, particularly towards eastern areas, just drifting down on this noticeable northerly wind. but, for many of us, i think it will be a dry day. there will be some sunny spells emerging throughout, just variable amounts of cloud. temperatures at around 17 celsius, so a bit cooler than it was yesterday. 0vernight tonight, it is going to feel really quite cold. clear skies and lighter winds. temperatures in some of the rural sheltered spots could possibly drop low enough for a touch of ground frost, especially out towards western home counties, even in central london. just bear it in mind if you're joining the queue for westminster hall for the lying

in state, temperatures even here could drop back into single figures. so it is going to be a cold start to the day on saturday. over the weekend, there will possibly be a bit more cloud around, but also some sunny spells. it's set to stay dry. the winds are lighter. it won't be quite so chilly on saturday night into sunday. again, sunday is looking dry, monday, too, but we could start off the morning with a bit of mist. time to share another one of the many photos and stories you're sending to us of your moments with the queen. this one is from cathy chappin. her grandad is in the background on the left. he owned stables in hertfordshire, and is riding with the queen in around 19a0. princess margaret is there, too. thank you for sharing it. we look forward to receiving more photos. the e—mail address is hellobbclondon@bbc.co.uk. i'm back in half an hour. bye for now. good morning.

does include princess anne — by their mother's coffin at 7:30pm. 0ur wales correspondent tomos morgan is there. this is a very significant day today. in charles making his first visit to wales.— visit to wales. king charles was here as prince _ visit to wales. king charles was here as prince in _ visit to wales. king charles was here as prince in july _ visit to wales. king charles was here as prince in july on - visit to wales. king charles was here as prince in july on a i here as prince injuly on a three—day tour. today, the first time he will set that in wales after becoming king. as soon as he does that, there will be a gun salute in cardiff castle. in this cathedral there will be a memorial service held with readings by the archbishop of wales and first minister as well. the queen will meet some people, meet some of the local

schoolchildren before going to the welsh parliament. animation of condolence will be brought forward by the first minister. before the streets being lined by members of the armed services from wales and they will then go to cardiff castle for a reception and meet the public. thousands are expected there. there will also be a silent protest held outside full people protesting against prince william becoming prince of wales. my colleague has been looking back at what has at times been a prickly relationship with members of the public. archive: university college, aberystwyth, where, - to the relief of the nation, prince charles was given a warm and very friendly welcome. the prince, who onjuly1st becomes prince of wales, is taking a nine—week welsh language and history course at the university. aberystwyth in 1969, and the then prince charles was about to take a crash course in cymraeg —

the welsh language. it was a way of trying to win over a nation sceptical of having an englishman as prince of wales. it didn't stop the protests in the lead—up to his investiture. fanfare. for years, these images defined his relationship with wales but tensions gradually eased, that relationship relaxed, and royal patronage was used to find a place in welsh life. his love of the arts and welsh culture. i think his commitment to wales has always been there. i wouldn't. .. i don't doubt it for one minute. for the last 16 years, charles has had a home in wales. llwynywermod, one of his four royal residences. others have welcomed him into their home. several times the king has been

for a dip in sir norman's pool. he's just a lovely man, actually. you know, a chap you could go and have a couple of pints with. and i think that is apparent anyway. i mean, he's always got the right word to give. as cardiff prepares for his first visit as king, what will be the choice of words this time? what message will charles iii want to convey? wales has changed hugely since the investiture in the 1960s, and, once again, there are questions about the future of the monarchy�*s role here. in cardiff, opinions are divided. oh, i think they bring a lot of revenue, obviously, to this country. to wales ? yes, yes. yes. to everywhere. yeah. people love the monarchy, i think. i don't know. it just seems out of touch with where we are as a country now. i think now the queen's gone, and i think a lot of people were holding onto the

romance of the queen. but, yeah, i personally... not part of the future for wales. no. as king, charles may now once again need to persuade people here that the royal relationship with wales is one which should endure. hywel griffith, bbc news, cardiff. people coming to cardiff castle will have met king charles when he was formally prince of wales. 0ne have met king charles when he was formally prince of wales. one is baroness grey thompson, former paralympian. i guess we should start with queen elizabeth hospital and. you met her on several occasions. could you share some of the time she met her? ~ . . , , ~ could you share some of the time she met her? . ., ., , , ,, ., met her? what was she like? i have been very fortunate _ met her? what was she like? i have been very fortunate to _ met her? what was she like? i have been very fortunate to have - met her? what was she like? i have been very fortunate to have three i been very fortunate to have three national— been very fortunate to have three national honours. she presented them

a few scattered showers. winds are coming in from a north—westerly direction bringing scattered showers in north and east scotland, particularly in east anglia and the south—east. 0ne particularly in east anglia and the south—east. one or two further west, which will ease during the day. with the wind direction it will feel chilly. north and east scotland 11, 12 degrees and down the east coast of england as well. typically 12 to 15 degrees. feeling cooler. the scattered showers, some of them quite sharp, in the east. temperature is about 1a to 18. the warmest weather across south—west england and wales. this evening, clear skies for many areas. still scattered, blustery showers and strong wins. lighter winds and clearer skies elsewhere. if you are heading towards the capital to pay your respects to the queen lying in

state, typically 17, 18 degrees. some of the coldest nights we have seen for quite awhile over the next few nights, in fact. low pressure in the east. blustery brisk winds around. not as strong as we head into the early hours of saturday morning. there could be a touch of grass frost around, probably the coldest night since the spring for some of long spells of sunshine for most of us. still blustery showers in the aged. a fair amount of dry weather, effective cloud bubbling up during the day. 1a to 19 the top temperature on saturday. in the second half of the weekend, high pressure not far away. tending to fizzle out as it heads into the area of high pressure. most of us will hold on to the high pressure into monday. sunday is cloudier and saturday. the vast majority staying

dry on sunday. brazier and some of the east coast. temperatures typically between 13 to 19 degrees on sunday. it looks like we will be holding onto high pressure. mostly dry conditions into monday for her majesty'sstate funeral. most of us looking dry and warm. we'll have more from charlie and the team in westminster throughout the morning. now let's take a look at some of today's other news. parliamentary recess — when normal business in the house of commons and house of lords is suspended — is expected to be cut a week short in october. that is to make up for time lost during the official period of mourning. parliament will sit again from next thursday. mps will debate whether they should return from their conference on tuesday 11th october, rather than monday 17th october as currently agreed. piling up your breakfast plate could

help you to lose weight. researchers at the university of aberdeen say eating a big breakfast and a smaller dinner could help with weight loss because it tends to make us feel less hungry. businesses should be finding out more next week about how the government plans to help them with their soaring energy bills. it's understood the support will last for six months but some are worried it may not be enough to save them. hannah has been finding out exactly what they'd like to hear from the new chancellor. an industry struggling to shoulder the burden of ever—rising bills. at this leisure centre in cheshire, it's thought energy costs could more than triple in the coming months, with the fitness sector calling on the government to ensure facilities like this receive support for more than the initial six months, as outlined last week. my main concern is that the fitness sector will not be deemed a vulnerable sector for support when actually it's exceptionally energy hungry, and delivers economic benefits straight back into the british economy. how urgent is the need for clarity on what exactly the business support

will look like and how long it will last? it's exceptionally important because we've got to remember that this particular sector is a fixed—cost energy sector, and we've been absorbing an awful lot of other fixed—cost inflation already within our existing cash flows. the hair and beauty industry also wants to be considered for more long—term support with the owner of this salon hoping for a vat cut as well to help make ends meet. running a business used to be fun. we've run this for 21 years, but this last year has been a real struggle. you know, the anxiety you now, you put that face on for the clients. it's all happy, smiling. listen to their problems. but you go home, put your computer on, see how much money's in the bank and wonder which bill you can pay that day. so it is — it's worrying. we just need some clarity. at this nail salon, charlotte's trying to protect her business as best she can, but is worried her takings will fall as people find ways to save money.

i think what worries me the most is not knowing what's coming because i'm fully aware that there will be a cap for the next six months. so it's amazing. it's going to allow us to survive this winter. but for me, i want my business to last for a bit longer than six months and i want to know what's coming after this. i used to have a lot of clients would come here, for example, to have their nails done, and they would pay for four manicure. now they're paying forjust a file and application of the product. so they're buying shorter and cheaper treatments as well. and, back at the gym, some members are considering their options, as they try to keep up with the rising cost of living. how concerned are you about energy costs going up? very. yes. — i think we all are. especially when you're on a pension. imean, it's... you think, do i still keep paying to come here? if i don't, then i miss out on the social aspect.

does it make you think twice about things like your gym membership? yeah, definitely, like. especially... i mean, i've notjoined here at this gym yet. i obviously, i'm sort of coming and having a trial, to see i how much it is. and it will make a massive i difference whether or not i go for it or not, whereas beforehand i might have not really thought twice about it. - i mightjust have thought, "oh, i've got the money. in the pot, i'll do it," where now it's definitely scarier. i think what the government's just done will help me. so that's made me a bit better. that's made you more optimistic? yes. the government's expected to outline more of its plans towards the end of next week, as it tries to bring the economy back to a good state of health. hannah miller, bbc news, wilmslow. it's time now to catch up with three men we've come to know well here on breakfast — andy, mike and tim — also known as the three dads. last year they walked 300 miles in memory of their daughters, who all took their own lives. now they're in the middle of another mammoth trek to get more people talking about suicide.

alison freeman went to see how they're getting on. flags furled as a mark of respect to the queen. the three dads have been walking since last friday. they're covering 600 miles over four weeks, visiting all four capital cities in the uk. their mission... to get suicide prevention made a compulsory subject on the national curriculum. the death of her majesty has made it a very different walk for the dads, who all lost a daughter to suicide, but one they felt should still go ahead. if we cancelled last week, the earliest we re—done it would have been this time next year. the message out about papyrus and hopeline uk, and encourage people to talk about suicide prevention would have gone for a whole year. and how many young people are going to die in that 12 months? yes, certainly. i mean, our thoughts are very much with the royal family, but i'm sure they'd want us to carry on with with what we're doing.

last year, we were written - to by his royal highness, the duke of cambridge, and he very much supported us. - so it felt like we'd had to keep walking, but just do _ it slightly differently. last friday, they walked to stormont, then crossed the irish sea to edinburgh, before heading through the scottish borders into andy's home county of cumbria. definitely bits in this that are very powerfully close to home in many ways. walking through cumbria is, because there's so many people i know and love who live here. but also walking away from edinburgh was really quite difficult because that's where sophie lived and that's where she died. still, many people come to see us, who've been touched and bereaved by suicide. you know, they want to share their stories, they want to hear ours, you know? and, you know, it's all about smashing the stigma, isn't it? and raising awareness. andy, mike and tim's walk takes them through cumbria over the coming days. they go past kendal, where sisters amber and holly have been receiving support, having only very recently

lost their stepdad. he would light up a room when he was in it. he was always talking to people. he was a very well—loved man. he wouldn't have thought for one second that he could do this. jim, who was a north yorkshire farmer, was 57 when he took his own life. his stepdaughters say there had been no warning signs. he didn't really believe in mental health. there was a veil across his mental illness. he could mask it with other things, instead ofjust being sad, or just being upset. it was because of this or because of this. they associate mental health with a failure, and they're notcoping and they're not being successful. but it's not... that's not the case at all. why do you think it's so important that we're able to see the dads doing their walk and talking about the topic? seeing somebody of a similar age to him, advocating for mental health and mental wellbeing, it's a step in the right direction.

three farmers a week take their own lives. so it's a massively high statistic, and something we just want to change, we need to talk. i know we have all talked openly about how we felt after the loss of our daughters, and definitely when we, you know, we met three weeks after the loss of our daughters and having that support from each other, just as two blokes who didn't know each other beforehand was life—saving. the response we were getting from all over the place, - |itjust reinforced how important| it was to see three crusty blokes talking openly about how they felt and what we'd been through. - so, yeah, we'll keep doing it. probably the thing that's unusual about all three of us, when we do start talking, you can't shut us up. that was alison freeman reporting. if you've been affected by any of the issues raised, you can find help and support at bbc.co dot.uk/action line. roger federer has announced he's retiring from tennis at the age of 41.

he's arguably the greatest men's player of all time, winning 20 grand slam titles including a record 8 at wimbledon. he's struggled with injuries in the last few years, and will make his final bow at the laver cup in london next week. among the first to pay tribute was federer�*s great rival rafa nadal, who said it had been an honour, a pleasure and privilege to share so many amazing moments together on and off the court. the former wales rugby union captain and broadcaster eddie butler has died at the age of 65. the conversion would bring the scores level. warren gatland's wales has one. wales, what are you doing? capped 16 times for his

country, he was best known more recently for his iconic six nations commentaries for the bbc. he died in his sleep in peru whilst doing the inca trail for charity. manchester united are up and running in the europa league. they beat the moldovan side sherrif tiraspol 2—0 last night — with goals from jadon sancho and cristiano ronaldo. west ham survived a scare in the europa conference league to make it two wins from two. they came from behind to beat danish side silkeborg. there was also a win for hearts in latvia, they beat rfs 2—0, alan forrest's goal in injury time rounding off their first win in the conference league this season. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are.

good morning from bbc london, i'm tolu adeoye. the mayor of london sadiq khan is among those who've been paying their respects to the queen lying in state in westminster hall. large numbers of people queued up again through the night. the queue is now four miles long and has reached southwark park. today is her majesty's second full day lying in state. the period ends at 6.30am on monday. the queue is likely to be cut off early. the queen carried out many visits during times of distress over her reign. one of the most high profile was to north kensington shortly after the grenfell tower fire. the queen met emergency services, survivors, and volunteers two days after the tragedy. we'll be hearing from some of those she met on our 6.30pm programme later today. other news now. students at greenwich university have created a garden in memory of sabina nessa, who was murdered by a stranger as she walked through a park in kidbrooke. tomorrow marks a year since the primary school teacher was killed.

students at her former university have been campaigning against male violence towards women. there was a sense of alarm and women were really panicking. a lot of them live quite near to sabina. a lot of them were concerned about their own safety. and, for me, itjust felt that there was nowhere for them to channel that energy and feel a bit more supported. so i think that is sort of... that formed the basis of starting up the sabina project. let's take a look at the travel situation. there's a good service on the tubes this morning, it is except for the district line. pa rt part suspended andy northern line has delays. —— the district line is part suspended. now the weather with elizabeth rizzini. hello there. good morning. well, it's a chilly start to the day. temperatures for many of us having dropped back into single

figures last night. and today in general will feel cooler across the capital than it has been for some time. now there is the small chance of one or two isolated showers, particularly towards eastern areas, just drifting down on this noticeable northerly wind. but, for many of us, i think it will be a dry day. there will be some sunny spells emerging throughout, just variable amounts of cloud. temperatures at around 17 celsius, so a bit cooler than it was yesterday. overnight tonight, it is going to feel really quite cold. clear skies and lighter winds. temperatures in some of the rural sheltered spots could possibly drop low enough for a touch of ground frost, especially out towards western home counties, even in central london. just bear it in mind if you're joining the queue for westminster hall for the lying in state, temperatures even here could drop back into single figures. so it is going to be a cold start to the day on saturday. over the weekend, there will possibly be a bit more cloud around, but also some sunny spells. it's set to stay dry. the winds are lighter. it won't be quite so chilly on saturday night into sunday. again, sunday is looking dry, monday, too, but we could start off the morning with a bit of mist. time to share another one of the many photos and stories you're sending to us of your moments with the queen.

this one is from cathy chappin. her grandad is in the background on the left. he owned stables in hertfordshire, and is riding with the queen in around 1940. princess margaret is there, too. thank you for sharing it. we look forward to receiving more photos. the e—mail address is hellobbclondon@bbc.co.uk. i'm back in half an hour. bye for now. good morning, welcome to breakfast with charlie stayt in westminster and nina warhurst in the studio in salford. 0ur headlines today — king charles will make his first visit to wales today as monarch. he'll host a reception at cardiff castle and meet the first minister. thousands of people spend the night queing to pay their final respects to queen elizabeth in westminster hall, as more details are revealed about monday's state funeral. the queue to enter westminster hall

continues to grow. it's currently around 4.5 miles long with waiting times of up to 11 hours. away from westminster, today's other headlines — authorities in ukraine say they're invesigating evidence of a mass grave in the city of izyum — which was recently liberated from russian occupation. and disruption for thousands of british travellers today, as air traffic controllers in france go on strike. and it's farewell to one of the greatest tennis players of all time as roger federer announces his retirement. good morning. it's friday september the 16th — you're watching bbc breakfast from westminster, where her majesty the queen has spent a second night lying in state. these are the images immediately outside the palace of westminster.

we understand that the moment it is around 4.4 miles long, stretching through london across the other side of the river, thousands more people waiting to pay their respects. this evening, all four of her majesty's children — king charles, princess anne, prince andrew, and prince edward — will hold a vigil by their mother's coffin. before that, the king and queen consort will travel to cardiff, completing their tour of the uk, as danjohnson reports. public engagement is already an early hallmark of king charles' reign. even in grief, he's made time to meet people, first in scotland, before greeting crowds on a visit to northern ireland. he also shook hands outside buckingham palace shortly after the queen's death was announced. and today, he and the queen consort

will travel to wales, completing the four corners of the kingdom and emphasising the ties of union. the other royals have been out across the country too. the prince and princess of wales william and catherine were at sandringham in norfolk to see the flowers left for the queen and to exchange a few words. i love his little guardsman t—shirt, and a paddington as well. i think paddington might have knocked the corgi off the top spot. we spoke to william and we spoke to kate. they both said about their outfits, how nice they were. they're just really nice and genuine people. we thanked them for the queen and everything she's done and all the things they're doing for everyone, it'sjust so nice. and william was asked about that walk behind his grandmother's

coffin on wednesday. doing the walk yesterday was challenging. the earl and countess of wessex met people in manchester and lit candles for the queen at the city's cathedral. and this was princess anne back in scotland to greet crowds in glasgow. as the solemn stream of mourners continues paying their respects in westminster, we're learning more detail about monday's state funeral. at 10.44, the queen's coffin will leave the hall and travel to westminster abbey. it will arrive there at 10.52. there have been rehearsals

in the darkness of the early hours to check everyone knows their place and performs their role with perfect precision. and it is the senior armed service, 150 sailors of the royal navy, who have the traditional responsibility of hauling the state gun carriage. it will actually be the last thing i do in uniform before retiring. so for me to be able to convey her majesty to her resting place in my last day in uniform is an honour that is really difficult to put in to words. my grandfather lined the streets for her coronation, and i'm going to be lining the streets for her funeral, and to think i get some kind of symmetry and circularity out of that, and that i now get to welcome his majesty the king onto the throne amd serve him, and my grandfather and my father both served the queen. this area, parliament square, has been very busy with people during the lying in state, but by monday morning, it will all be secured, because it is only a shortjourney from westminster hall across to westminster abbey, but gathered inside there will be hundreds of world leaders and heads of state. it is such a rare

occasion for so many of them to be in the same place at once. so consider the work of the police and many others in organising all of this and keeping everyone safe. sniffer dog scout is here from cumbria, one of many extra resources brought into the capital. at the end of the service, in the place the queen was crowned, two minutes of silence will be observed across the country. then the procession heads from the abbey up the mall past buckingham palace and along constitution hill to hyde park corner and the wellington arch, where the coffin will be transferred to the state hearse for the drive to windsor, up the long walk to the castle, and then st george's chapel for another service at 4.00. there is then a private ceremony where the queen's coffin will be laid to rest alongside that of prince philip. before that, three more days

for the public to pay their respects in their own way, for their own reasons. that is the only sound punctuating the profound solemn silence, a signal every 20 minutes for a change of guards. and tonight it will be her majesty's four children, including the king, who will take their place and stand at the four corners of her coffin in quiet vigil. danjohnson, bbc news, westminster. one thing that has been a constant in the last week or so, the weather has been very kind to all those people who have been attending these events, and this morning at the queue outside westminster hall, winds again the skies are clear, and other it has been cold for the many

thousands of people who have been queueing, it has been clear. in a moment, the reaction from some more of us as they leave westminster hall. —— some more of us. first, our correspondent nick beake is at the very back on the queue. nick, can you give us an idea of how many people are joining that line? trying to fine the start of the skew this morning is fast becoming an impossible task, because look at the number of people streaming pastors here. they are not in the queue, they are arriving to join the queue. we are at tower bridge, and you can see they are making their way all the way along the street towards southwark park, the place where as more and more people come, they will line up in zigzags to get their

wristbands and make their way up towards westminster hall. let's wander this way, you can see hundreds of people have been streaming passed us on the hour since we spoke last, charlie. these people have probably got off the rain or a bus should off the train. where have you come from this morning? where have you come from this mornin: ? �* , ., where have you come from this morning?- when - where have you come from this morning?- when did - where have you come from this| morning?- when did you morning? bristol. when did you decide to come _ morning? bristol. when did you decide to come here? _ morning? bristol. when did you decide to come here? i - morning? bristol. when did you decide to come here? i was - decide to come here? i was toying with that for _ decide to come here? i was toying with that for a _ decide to come here? i was toying with that for a few _ decide to come here? i was toying with that for a few days, _ decide to come here? i was toying with that for a few days, i - decide to come here? i was toying with that for a few days, i came i decide to come here? i was toying | with that for a few days, i came up on sunday— with that for a few days, i came up on sunday and put some flowers down at buckingham palace, then i thought i definitely want to come back for this _ i definitely want to come back for this. , . , ., this. they are seen from here, were ten or 12 this. they are seen from here, were ten or12 hours. _ this. they are seen from here, were ten or12 hours, may— this. they are seen from here, were ten or12 hours, may be _ this. they are seen from here, were ten or12 hours, may be more, - this. they are seen from here, were ten or12 hours, may be more, is. ten or 12 hours, may be more, is that something you are willing to do? . ~ that something you are willing to do? ., ~ , ., ., that something you are willing to do? . . , , ., do? yeah. we understood before we came it would _ do? yeah. we understood before we came it would be _ do? yeah. we understood before we came it would be a _ do? yeah. we understood before we came it would be a long _ do? yeah. we understood before we came it would be a long wait, - came it would be a long wait, especially today, i knew it would be longer _ especially today, i knew it would be longer than yesterday. but maybe

time for a look at the weather with sarah. good morning. the weather is feeling a little cooler and fresher than it has done recently. for many, a largely dry day with some sunshine, but some showers in the forecast as well. particularly affecting northern and eastern scotland and east coast of england as well, one or two further west through the morning as well, so many of us looking dry with sunny spells, temperatures for the most part about 14 to 18 celsius. almost towards the south—west, cooler with those blustery winds closer to the east coast, and the sharp showers, too. tonight, still some showers in eastern parts, but elsewhere looking dry, clear and chilly, we could see an isolated touch of grass frost into saturday morning. if you plan to come to london over the next few days, bear in mind

it will feel a bit cooler than recently, particularly overnight. chance of a passing shower, but predominantly the next few days looking dry. through the course of saturday, still a few showers for north—east scotland and eastern england, but fewer compared to today, the wind is a little lighter as well. sunny spells for most of us, lots of dry weather on the cards, temperatures between 14 to 19 celsius on saturday. into sunday and beyond, high pressure not far away, dominating our weather, but a few weather fronts around trying to move in. so i think a cloudier day as a weak front pushes its way south on sunday, but most places dry, a bit of abuse towards the east coast winds again but fewer showers, and top temperatures on sunday between 13 and 19 celsius. bye for now. we'll have more from charlie and the team in westminster throughout the morning. now let's take a look at some of today's other news. officials in ukraine say they've found evidence of mass graves around the recently liberated city of izyum. 0ur correspondent hugo

bachega is in kyiv. hugo, what can you tell us about this discovery? officials are expected to start exhuming some of the bodies later today. a mass burial site has been found in a forest outside the city of izyum, with hundreds of crosses, reports suggest as many as 400 have been found. some early accounts from residents suggest that at least some of the victims may have died from shelling, a lack of health care, it seems that at least one of the graves is of more than a dozen ukrainian soldiers, but we should have more clarity later today when investigators returned to the site. also journalists will be given access to this area outside izyum, one of many cities and towns liberated by ukrainian soldiers in

recent days. present volodymyr zelensky last night compared the situation in the city to the alleged crimes committed early in the war, he said russia was leaving bodies everywhere and must be held accountable.— everywhere and must be held accountable. ., , ., ,, accountable. hugo in kyiv, thank ou. travellers are being warned of disruption to flights today, as french air traffic controllers go on strike. hannah's been looking at this for us. it just feels arsenal travel was almost back to normal and now this. —— feels as though. yes, this is expected to impact tens of thousands of passengers — notjust if you're travelling to and from france but also most flights to countries like spain and portugal, which usually fly in french air space. the country's air traffic control staff are striking over pay and recruitment. so here's how it could impact anyone planning to travel. ryanair says it's had to cancel more than 400 flights today,

affecting 80,000 passengers. it says all of them have already been notified. meanwhile, easyjet is cancelling 76 flights to and from the uk — apparently at the request of french authorities. and british airways will cancel 22 flights to and from london heathrow and is warning of some on—the—day delays to other flights. and there's going to be some disruption to flights on monday too? yes, huge day of course for the queen's funeral. heathrow airport is stopping all arrivals and departures for 15 minutes before and after the two minutes' silence, as well as limiting them at key points later in the day. the aim is to cut noise levels, and the airport it says will affect around 15% of its schedule. so far, we've heard from british airways, who say 100 flights are being

cancelled as a result, mostly on short—haul european routes. and virgin atlantic has announced four of its flights between los angeles, san francisco, and heathrow will also be cancelled. if you're affected you should be offered alternative flights or a refund. the advice, as always, is to check the latest flight information before you travel to the airport. absolutely. thank you, hannah. the funeral of a nine—year—old girl who was shot dead in her own home has taken place. olivia pratt—korbel died when a gunman fired into her house in liverpool while chasing another man. a £50,000 reward has been offered for information leading directly to a conviction. researchers in australia say they've found evidence of the world's oldest heart. it was discovered in a 380—million—year—old fossil of a gogo fish, which is now extinct. that is an artist's impression. the fossil captures a key

moment in the evolution of all animals with backbones, including humans. a vest worn by the legendary basketball player michaeljordan has sold for more than $10 million dollars — that's nearly £9 million — at auction in new york. jordan wore it while playing for the chicago bulls in the opening game of his final nba championship in 1998. the previous record price for a piece of sporting memoriabilia was the £8 million pounds paid for the argentina shirt which diego maradona wore for his infamous "hand of god" goal against england in 1986. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning from bbc london, i'm tolu adeoye. the mayor of london sadiq khan is among those who've been paying their respects to the queen lying in state in westminster hall. large numbers of people queued up again through the night. the queue is now four miles long

and has reached southwark park. today is her majesty's second full day lying in state. the period ends at 6.30am on monday, with the queue likely to be cut off early. the queen carried out many visits during times of distress over her reign, one of the most high profile was to north kensington shortly after the grenfell tower fire. the queen met emergency services, survivors and volunteers two days after the tragedy. we'll be hearing from some of those she met on our 6.30pm programme later today. other news now, and students at greenwich university have created a garden in memory of sabina nessa, who was murdered by a stranger as she walked through a park in kidbrooke. tomorrow marks a year since the primary school teacher was killed. students at her former university have been campaigning against male violence against women. there was a sense of alarm and women were really panicking. a lot of them live quite near to sabina. a lot of them were concerned

about their own safety. and, for me, itjust felt that there was nowhere for them to channel that energy and feel a bit more supported. so i think that is sort of... that formed the basis of starting up the sabina project. let's take a look at the travel situation. now the weather with elizabeth rizzini. hello there. good morning. well, it's a chilly start to the day. temperatures for many of us having dropped back into single figures last night. and today in general will feel cooler across the capital than it has been for some time. now there is the small chance of one or two isolated showers, particularly towards eastern areas, just drifting down on this noticeable northerly wind. but, for many of us, i think it will be a dry day. there will be some sunny spells emerging throughout, just variable amounts of cloud. temperatures at around 17 celsius, so a bit cooler than it was yesterday. overnight tonight, it is going to feel really quite cold. clear skies and lighter winds.

temperatures in some of the rural sheltered spots could possibly drop low enough for a touch of ground frost, especially out towards western home counties, even in central london. just bear it in mind if you're joining the queue for westminster hall for the lying in state, temperatures even here could drop back into single figures. so it is going to be a cold start to the day on saturday. over the weekend, there will possibly be a bit more cloud around, but also some sunny spells. it's set to stay dry. the winds are lighter. it won't be quite so chilly on saturday night into sunday. again, sunday is looking dry, monday, too, but we could start off the morning with a bit of mist. thank you by the way for all your memories of the queen over the last few days. this one is from colin dawson. he says this picture was taken at trooping the colour and he thinks it was in 1970. at the time he was joined by a friend from australia, and as soon as the crowd her accent they were ushered to the front so they could get a better view.

we look forwad to receiving more photos. the e—mail address is hellobbclondon@bbc.co.uk. i'm back in hour. bye for now. good morning. you're watching bbc breakfast from westminster, where her majesty the queen is now lying in state for a second full day. throughout the night, thousands of people have queued —— lets shave inside westminster hall. these pictures are being streamed for 24—hour is a day. an extraordinary scene where throughout the night, these people had queued for so long, they have a moment in time, just a moment to reflect. spending a moment inside the hall itself. if we show you the pictures from outside, where our position is this morning, the sense you get is

the queue is fast moving here. this is very much the end of the journey, they are close to the destination of they are close to the destination of the hall itself. what you have seen yesterday and today, snaking through london across lambeth bridge and right through london, the queue is overfour miles this right through london, the queue is over four miles this morning. waiting times at nine, ten hours. as our correspondence are reporting this morning, so many people this morning arejoining the queue, maybe because the weekend is coming up and they may be taking the day off. it remains a remarkable scene this morning. the weather has been kind to people so far. one of the great highlights of queen elizabeth's reign was the london olympics ten years

ago, including that show—stopping moment when she and james bond, appeared to parachute into the opening ceremony from a helicopter. the man who led the bid to bring the games to london was lord coe, and hejoins me now. very good morning to you. ijust wonder, first of all, your reflections on seeing how the nation, how people have reacted to the death of her majesty. thea;r nation, how people have reacted to the death of her majesty.— the death of her ma'esty. they are extraordinary _ the death of her majesty. they are extraordinary scenes, _ the death of her majesty. they are extraordinary scenes, although i i the death of her majesty. they are i extraordinary scenes, although i had to say from a personal perspective they are not entirely surprising. i think we all recognised there would be a massive wave of sympathy and, you know, understanding, obviously, in the uk. for me, the interesting moment was when her passing was announced, i was in stearic at the end of the athletics season. i was

sitting among a very mixed group of people, canadians, eastern europeans. they were all absolutely shocked by the announcement. it was just the fact that fans burst into life. i suddenly realised the impact was really genuinely global. here were a group of people from international sport, canyons and canadians, everyonejust international sport, canyons and canadians, everyone just stopped international sport, canyons and canadians, everyonejust stopped in the stadium in the middle of switzerland, it became quite a sombre affairfor more switzerland, it became quite a sombre affair for more than 80 moments. it is domestic. —— more than a few moments. i do not think anyone is underestimating the impact it is having globally. i am in the united states in every city, every flag is flying at half mast. irate united states in every city, every flag is flying at half mast. we will

talk about the _ flag is flying at half mast. we will talk about the london _ flag is flying at half mast. we will talk about the london olympics l talk about the london olympics another time. talk about the london olympics anothertime. in talk about the london olympics another time. in your sporting career, i do not know how many occasions you are at. what reflections do you have from years past? i reflections do you have from years ast? 77 7 reflections do you have from years ast? ., , , , past? i was very privileged. her ma'es past? i was very privileged. her majesty was _ past? i was very privileged. her majesty was senior _ past? i was very privileged. her majesty was senior patron i past? i was very privileged. her majesty was senior patron of i past? i was very privileged. her. majesty was senior patron of what was the old british amateur athletic board. if he broke a world record, and i brokered deal of them, you went to buckingham palace to receive your commemorative plaque from her and often the duke of edinburgh, he was also a patron, i think he was president of the amateur athletic association for a number of years. her involvement with to pretty much every level. everybody obviously relates to the equine interest but there was not a sport she was not very well briefed on and spent a lot of time at sport. it is obvious to

say that she will be very, very messed. of course, during the olympic games, the olympic years, i divide those into two distinctive areas. one is the bed when people focus on seven years of hard grind to deliver the games. the hardest bit was triumphing over the nine major cities that started on the journey. they got whittled down to five, including paris, new york, madrid and moscow, countries that had all staged the games before. her role when the evaluation team came through, we were able to entertain them. on one occasion, of course, being able to use buckingham palace, and on a friday night when her majesty was very clear that she did

not normally stay in london unless it was remembrance weekend. changing her plans for that and then completely unscripted, when people who were going to make a judgment about london left the palace after what was a spectacular evening. absolutely unscripted. she went out onto the balcony and waved to the coach. experts that travelled with them, literally off the premises. it made such a huge difference, particularly when you are having to punch your weight against global cities that had a big reputation in sport. then of course during the london years, she was very active. she was very keen to see the development of the olympic park, to see all the big... wanted to be around the milestones along the way. particularly fake is not

surprisingly on the role of the volunteers and also the torch relay. she also saw that as a way of connecting all the nations and regions when the torch relay attached, literally about 90% of the british population. she was absolutely inseparable and hugely influential, both in the bidding process and also the delivery of the games itself. irate process and also the delivery of the games itself-— process and also the delivery of the games itself. we are seeing some of those images — games itself. we are seeing some of those images now. _ games itself. we are seeing some of those images now. i _ games itself. we are seeing some of those images now. i really _ games itself. we are seeing some of those images now. i really do - games itself. we are seeing some of those images now. i really do want l those images now. i really do want to ask you about that moment with daniel craig and the parachute. i think, i cannot remember which politician it was, said he was still meeting people who genuinely thought the queen had jumped out of an aircraft. it remains one of the inspirational moments. clearly something that she embraced and enjoyed. she something that she embraced and en'o ed. ,, .,. something that she embraced and

en'o ed. ,, .. ., something that she embraced and en'o ed. 7, .. ., 7, enjoyed. she did. in fact, i do not know who — enjoyed. she did. in fact, i do not know who the _ enjoyed. she did. in fact, i do not know who the politician _ enjoyed. she did. in fact, i do not know who the politician was i enjoyed. she did. in fact, i do not know who the politician was who l enjoyed. she did. in fact, i do not. know who the politician was who said that but i still meet people who are fascinated by what happened and are still... i am still having to explain it actually was not her. most of the people sitting in the stadium that night and including the international olympic committee member, the president and the royal family themselves, it was one of the best kept secrets and it clearly held within the family as well. you are right, there is no way that danny boyle would have got that across the line. it was a wobbly moment when he came into the office of my ceo and said, we had done some research and it shows the two iconic figures globally associated with the united kingdom in this order, not surprisingly where her majesty the queen and james bond. we were both

buying up to that moment and said, wouldn't it be great if we could get them to jump out of a helicopter together? that was the moment when we both looked at each other. danny was absolutely convinced it would work. there are lots of twists and turns. actually danny was the one that got the discussion going and actually i think really genuinely persuaded the queen that this was something was not going to be disrespectful. in fairness, something was not going to be disrespectful. infairness, i something was not going to be disrespectful. in fairness, i think it is probably and will forever be the iconic moment in any opening ceremony. it the iconic moment in any opening ceremon . 77 7 the iconic moment in any opening ceremony-— the iconic moment in any opening ceremon. , ., , ., ~ ceremony. it has been lovely talking to ou this ceremony. it has been lovely talking to you this morning. _ ceremony. it has been lovely talking to you this morning. thank- ceremony. it has been lovely talking to you this morning. thank you i ceremony. it has been lovely talking to you this morning. thank you for l to you this morning. thank you for sharing those stories. in amongst a lot of sadness there are wonderful moments to share as well. good talking to you this morning. bbc breakfast live this morning from just outside the palace of westminster. i think we can probably show the images here. a rather

beautiful day this morning with blue sky and clouds. let's have a look at the weather all across the uk. sarah has the details. the weather is feeling cooler and fresher. for many of us are largely dry daily sunshine. there are showers around in the forecast. they will affect northern and eastern scotland and the east coast of england as well. many of us looking dry with sunny spells. temperatures for the most part between 14 and 18 degrees. one nest in the south—west. coolest in the blustery winds close to the east coast. tonight still showers in the east of england and scotland. elsewhere, looking dry and chilly. we could see an isolated touch of grass frost on saturday morning. if you are planning on coming to london in the next few days, it will be a

touch cooler than recently. chance of a passing shower. the next few days are looking dry. on saturday, still a few showers in the north—east of scotland and eastern england. they will be fewer than today. sunny spells for most of us and a lot of dry weather on the cards. temperatures between 14 and 19 on saturday. into sunday and high pressure not far away, which is dominating the weather. the weather fronts around. a bit of a cloudy day as a weak front pushes its way south. a bit of a breeze towards the east coast. the showers. top temperatures 13 to 19. goodbye for now. we'll have more from charlie and the team in westminster throughout the morning. now let's take a look at some of today's other news. retail of today's other news. sales have fallen as people tighten retail sales have fallen as people tighten their spending. it continues

a downward trend that started a year ago. sales in all sectors were down. now it may not sound plausible but piling up your breakfast plate could help you lose weight. researchers at the university of aberdeen say eating a big breakfast and a smaller dinner could help with weight loss, because it tends to make us feel less hungry. businesses should find out more next week about how the government plans to help with soaring energy bills. it's understood support will last for six months but some are worried it won't be enough to save them. hannah has been finding out what they'd like to hear from the new chancellor. an industry struggling to shoulder the burden of ever—rising bills. at this leisure centre in cheshire, it's thought energy costs could more than triple in the coming months, with the fitness sector calling on the government to ensure facilities like this receive support for more than the initial six months, as outlined last week. my main concern is that the fitness sector will not be deemed a vulnerable sector for support

when actually it's exceptionally energy hungry, and delivers economic benefits straight back into the british economy. how urgent is the need for clarity on what exactly the business support will look like and how long it will last? it's exceptionally important because we've got to remember that this particular sector is a fixed—cost energy sector, and we've been absorbing an awful lot of other fixed—cost inflation already within our existing cash flows. the hair and beauty industry also wants to be considered for more long—term support with the owner of this salon hoping for a vat cut as well to help make ends meet. running a business used to be fun. we've run this for 21 years, but this last year has been a real struggle. you know, the anxiety you know, you put that face on for the clients. it's all happy, smiling. listen to their problems. but you go home, put your computer on, see how much money's in the bank and wonder which bill you can pay that day. so it is — it's worrying.

we just need some clarity. at this nail salon, charlotte's trying to protect her business as best she can, but is worried her takings will fall as people find ways to save money. i think what worries me the most is not knowing what's coming because i'm fully aware that there will be a cap for the next six months. so it's amazing. it's going to allow us to survive this winter. but for me, i want my business to last for a bit longer than six months and i want to know what's coming after this. i used to have a lot of clients would come here, for example, to have their nails done, and they would pay for full manicure. now they're paying forjust a file and application of the product. so they're buying shorter and cheaper treatments as well. and, back at the gym, some members are considering their options, as they try to keep up with the rising cost of living. how concerned are you about energy costs going up? very. yes. — i think we all are.

especially when you're on a pension. imean, it's... you think, do i still keep paying to come here? if i don't, then i miss out on the social aspect. does it make you think twice about things like your gym membership? yeah, definitely, like. especially... i mean, i've notjoined here at this gym yet. i obviously, i'm sort of coming and having a trial, to see i how much it is. and it will make a massive difference whether i go i for it or not, whereas beforehand i might have not really thought twice about it. - i mightjust have thought, "oh, i've got the money. in the pot, i'll do it," where now it's definitely scarier. i think what the government's just done will help me. so that's made me a bit better. that's made you more optimistic? yes. the government's expected to outline more of its plans towards the end of next week, as it tries to bring the economy back to a good state of health. hannah miller, bbc news, wilmslow. we wa nt we want to bring you some breaking

news this morning. a police officer are said to be seriously injured after being stabbed in london. metropolitan police say two male officers were attacked in the haymarket area of the city. both were injured. one is being treated in hospital. we will bring you more on that story. some breaking news, a police officer is said to be susie injured after being stabbed in london. it's time now to catch up with three men we've come to know well here on breakfast — andy, mike and tim — also known as the three dads. last year they walked 300 miles in memory of their daughters, who all took their own lives. now they're in the middle of another mammoth trek to get more people talking about suicide. alison freeman went to see how they're getting on. flags furled as a mark of respect to the queen. the three dads have been walking since last friday. they're covering 600 miles over four weeks, visiting all four capital cities in the uk. their mission... to get suicide prevention made

a compulsory subject on the national curriculum. the death of her majesty has made it a very different walk for the dads, who all lost a daughter to suicide, but one they felt should still go ahead. if we cancelled last week, the earliest we could have re—done it would have been this time next year. the message out about papyrus and hopeline uk, and encourage people to talk about suicide prevention would have gone for a whole year. and how many young people are going to die in that 12 months? yes, certainly. i mean, our thoughts are very much with the royal family, but i'm sure they'd want us to carry on with with what we're doing. last year, we were written - to by his royal highness, the duke of cambridge, and he very much supported us. - so it felt like we'd had to keep walking, but just do _ it slightly differently. last friday, they walked to stormont, then crossed the irish sea to edinburgh, before heading

through the scottish borders into andy's home county of cumbria. definitely bits in this that are very powerfully close to home in many ways. walking through cumbria is, because there's so many people i know and love who live here. but also walking away from edinburgh was really quite difficult because that's where sophie lived and that's where she died. still, many people come to see us, who've been touched and bereaved by suicide. you know, they want to share their stories, they want to hear ours, you know? and, you know, it's all about smashing the stigma, isn't it? and raising awareness. andy, mike and tim's walk takes them through cumbria over the coming days. they go past kendal, where sisters amber and holly have been receiving support, having only very recently lost their stepdad. he would light up a room when he was in it. he was always talking to people. he was a very well—loved man. he wouldn't have thought for one second that he could do this. jim, who was a north yorkshire farmer, was 57 when he took his own life. his stepdaughters say there had been no warning signs.

he didn't really believe in mental health. there was a veil across his mental illness. he could mask it with other things, instead ofjust being sad, or just being upset. it was because of this or because of this. they associate mental health with a failure, and they're not coping and they're not being successful. but it's not... that's not the case at all. why do you think it's so important that we're able to see the dads doing their walk and talking about the topic? seeing somebody of a similar age to him, advocating for mental health and mental wellbeing, it's a step in the right direction. three farmers a week take their own lives. so it's a massively high statistic, and something we just want to change, we need to talk. i know we have all talked openly about how we felt after the loss of our daughters, and definitely when we, you know, we met three weeks after the loss of our daughters and having that support from each other, just as two blokes who didn't know each other beforehand was life—saving. the response we were getting

from all over the place, - |itjust reinforced how important| it was to see three crusty blokes talking openly about how they felt and what we'd been through. i so, yeah, we'll keep doing it. probably the thing that's unusual about all three of us, when we do start talking, you can't shut us up. that was alison freeman reporting. if you've been affected by any of the issues raised, you can find help and support on the website. in sport, roger federer has announced he's retiring from tennis at the age of 41. he's arguably the greatest men's player of all time, winning 20 grand slam titles including a record eight at wimbledon. he's struggled with injuries in the last few years, and will make his final bow at the laver cup in london next week. there have been plenty of tributes paid to federer,

including this from serena williams, who "welcomed him to the retirement club," saying federer "inspired countless millions and millions of people — including me — and we will never forget". the former wales rugby union captain and broadcaster eddie butler has died at the age of 65. james hook. it's all happening. lee byrne. the conversion would bring the scores level. warren gatland's wales are back. they said they wouldn't give up, they haven't. 0h, england, what have you done? and, wales, what are you doing? capped 16 times for his country, he was best known more recently for his iconic six nations commentaries for the bbc. he died in his sleep in peru whilst doing the inca trail for charity. in the europa league, west ham are two wins from two after beating danish side silkeborg last night, while manchester united are up

their king. you're watching breakfast. headlines coming up. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning, welcome to breakfast with charlie stayt in westminster and nina warhurst in the studio in salford. our headlines today — king charles will make his first visit to wales today as monarch. he'll host a reception at cardiff castle and meet the first minister. thousands of people spend the night queing to pay their final respects to queen elizabeth in westminster hall, as more details are revealed about monday's state funeral. the queue to enter westminster hall continues to grow. it's currently around ir.5 miles long with waiting times of more than 11 hours. away from westminster, today's other headlines. authorities in ukraine say they're invesigating evidence of a mass grave in the city of izyum,

which was recently liberated from russian occupation. the metropolitan police confirmed that two police officers have been stabbed in london. one is said to be in a serious condition. retail sales fall by more than expected in the last month. high street, food and fuel sales are all down as households deal with surging inflation. good morning. it's friday september the 16th — you're watching bbc breakfast from westminster, where her majesty the queen has spent a second night lying in state. the queue to enter westminster hall is now stretching back 4.4 miles as thousands more people wait to pay their respects. this evening all four of her majesty's children — king charles, princess anne, prince andrew and prince edward — will hold a vigil by their mother's coffin. before that, the king and queen consort will travel to cardiff, completing their tour

of the uk, as danjohnson reports. public engagement is already an early hallmark of king charles' reign. even in grief, he's made time to meet people, first in scotland, before greeting crowds on a visit to northern ireland. he also shook hands outside buckingham palace shortly after the queen's death was announced. and today, he and the queen consort will travel to wales, completing the four corners of the kingdom and emphasising the ties of union. the other royals have been out

across the country too. the prince and princess of wales william and catherine were at sandringham in norfolk to see the flowers left for the queen and to exchange a few words. i love his little guardsman t—shirt, and a paddington as well. i think paddington might have knocked the corgi off the top spot. we spoke to william and we spoke to kate. they both said about their outfits, how nice they were. they're just really nice and genuine people. we thanked them for the queen and everything she's done and all the things they're doing for everyone, it'sjust so nice. and william was asked about that walk behind his grandmother's coffin on wednesday. doing the walk yesterday was challenging. the earl and countess of wessex met people in manchester and lit candles for the queen at

the city's cathedral. and this was princess anne back in scotland to greet crowds in glasgow. as the solemn stream of mourners continues paying their respects in westminster, we're learning more detail about monday's state funeral. at 10.1r4, the queen's coffin will leave the hall and travel to westminster abbey. it will arrive there at 10.52. there have been rehearsals in the darkness of the early hours to check everyone knows their place and performs their role with perfect precision. and it is the senior armed service, 150 sailors of the royal navy, who have the traditional responsibility of hauling the state gun carriage. it will actually be the last thing i do in uniform before retiring.

so for me to be able to convey her majesty to her resting place in my last day in uniform is an honour that is really difficult to put in to words. my grandfather lined the streets for her coronation, and i'm going to be lining the streets for her funeral, and to think i get some kind of symmetry and circularity out of that, and that i now get to welcome his majesty the king onto the throne amd serve him, and my grandfather and my father both served the queen. this area, parliament square, has been very busy with people during the lying in state, but by monday morning, it will all be secured, because it is only a shortjourney from westminster hall across to westminster abbey, but gathered inside there will be hundreds of world leaders and heads of state. it is such a rare occasion for so many of them to be in the same place at once. so consider the work

of the police and many others in organising all of this and keeping everyone safe. sniffer dog scout is here from cumbria, one of many extra resources brought into the capital. at the end of the service, in the place the queen was crowned, two minutes of silence will be observed across the country. then the procession heads from the abbey up the mall past buckingham palace and along constitution hill to hyde park corner and the wellington arch, where the coffin will be transferred to the state hearse for the drive to windsor, up the long walk to the castle, and then st george's chapel for another service at 4.00. there is then a private ceremony where the queen's coffin will be laid to rest alongside that of prince philip. before that, three more days for the public to pay their respects in their own way,

for their own reasons. that is the only sound punctuating the profound solemn silence, a signal every 20 minutes for a change of guards. and tonight it will be her majesty's four children, including the king, who will take their place and stand at the four corners of her coffin in quiet vigil. danjohnson, bbc news, westminster. king charles is at highgrove, his home in gloucestershire. our reporter navtej johal is there. navtej, the king took a step back from public engagements yesterday, but today his work continues. yes, we saw members of the royal family admitting the crowd and taking part in public events yesterday, the prince and princess

of wales in sending and emitting crowds, looking at the flowers, a much quieter day yesterday for the king. he arrived here at his home in highgrove in gloucestershire on wednesday following the procession to westminster hall earlier that afternoon. he drove himself into the estate's ground here, and hasn't been seen publicly since. a spokesman told him that he has been focusing has been here on state business and ensuring that estate business and ensuring that estate business is complete before resuming his travel schedule. a chance also perhaps for the king to pause and reflect how he has been there, not something he has had much chance to do since the death of the queen last week. in terms of his movements today, we know he will be heading to wales later, exact time have not been given but he will be arriving in wales with the queen consort, a busy schedule of events there as we have had. later this evening, he will be in westminster hall, again with his siblings, taking part in

thing saturday, probably the coldest night since the spring for some of us. through the day on saturday, long spells of sunshine for most of us. still those blustery showers in the east, but the wind is not quite as strong, fewer showers than today, but of cloud bubbling up through the day. around 1a to 19 celsius are top temperature on saturday. towards the second half of the weekend, high pressure not far away. a and moving on from the north into sunday, so tending to fizzle out as it heads into the area of high pressure, most of us holding onto high—pressure into monday as well. sunday a bit cloudier than saturday, one or two showers around as they move south, but the vast majority staying dry on sunday. again, a bit breezy and some of those east coast, too. temperatures around 13 to 19 celsius for most of us on sunday. it looks like we will be holding onto high—pressure, bringing mostly dry conditions into monday of course for her majesty's state funeral, and most of us looking dry and a touch

a recap of some breaking news. a police officer is said to be seriously injured after being stabbed in central london. two officers were attacked in haymarket, the theatre district of the capital, both are said to have been injured, at least one being treated in hospital. we will of course bring you any more information on that story as we get it. coming up shortly, we willjoin charlie again in westminster. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning from bbc london, i'm tolu adeoye. the mayor of london sadiq khan is among those who've been paying their respects to the queen lying in state in westminster hall. large numbers of people queued up again through the night. the queue is now four miles long

and has reached southwark park. today is her majesty's second full day lying in state. the period ends at 6.30am on monday, with the queue likely to be cut off early. the queen carried out many visits during times of distress over her reign — one of the most high profile was to north kensington shortly after the grenfell tower fire. the queen met emergency services, survivors and volunteers two days after the tragedy. we'll be hearing from some of those she met on our 6.30pm programme later today. others news now. and students at greenwich university have created a garden in memory of sabina nessa, who was murdered by a stranger as she walked through a park in kidbrooke. tomorrow marks a year since the primary school teacher was killed. students at her former university have been campaigning against male violence against women. there was a sense of alarm and women were really panicking. a lot of them live quite near to sabina.

a lot of them were concerned about their own safety. and, for me, itjust felt that there was nowhere for them to channel that energy and feel a bit more supported. so i think that is sort of... that formed the basis of starting up the sabina project. let's take a look at the travel situation. now the weather with elizabeth rizzini. hello there. good morning. well, it's a chilly start to the day. temperatures for many of us having dropped back into single figures last night. and today in general will feel cooler across the capital than it has been for some time. now there is the small chance of one or two isolated showers, particularly towards eastern areas, just drifting down on this noticeable northerly wind. but, for many of us, i think it will be a dry day. there will be some sunny spells emerging throughout, just variable amounts of cloud. temperatures at around 17 celsius, so a bit cooler than it was yesterday. overnight tonight, it is going to feel really quite cold. clear skies and lighter winds.

temperatures in some of the rural sheltered spots could possibly drop low enough for a touch of ground frost, especially out towards western home counties, even in central london. just bear it in mind if you're joining the queue for westminster hall for the lying in state, temperatures even here could drop back into single figures. so it is going to be a cold start to the day on saturday. over the weekend, there will possibly be a bit more cloud around, but also some sunny spells. it's set to stay dry. the winds are lighter. it won't be quite so chilly on saturday night into sunday. again, sunday is looking dry, monday, too, but we could start off the morning with a bit of mist. time for another one of your memories of the queen. this one is from colin dawson. taken at trooping the colour, he thinks in 1970. at the time a friend from australia was visiting, who wanted to see the ceremony. we look forward to receiving more photos. the e—mail address is hellobbclondon@bbc.co.uk. i'm back in an hour. bye for now.

now let's take a look at some of today's other news. a police officer is said to be seriously injured after being stabbed in central london. the metropolitan police says two male officers were attacked near leicester square at six o'clock this morning. both were injured. both being treated in hospital. what more can you tell us? this is a very busy part of london, popular with tourists and the like. at 6am this morning, police officers came here and they found a man with a knife. two police officers, as you say, were stabbed. they are currently being treated in hospital. we are waiting for more information about their condition. what the police had told us is a taser was

used and a man has been arrested on suspicion of gbh and assaulting an emergency worker. that man has also been taken to hospital for treatment. we are waiting on more information from the police and we will bring you that as soon as possible. will bring you that as soon as ossible. . ~ will bring you that as soon as ossible. ., ~ , ., will bring you that as soon as possible-— will bring you that as soon as ossible. ., ~ i. ~ , possible. thank you. we will bring ou more details on that breaking news this morning, two police officers stabbed in central london, at least one seriously injured and both being treated in hospital. businesses should find out more next week about how the government plans to help with soaring energy bills. it's understood support will last for six months but some are worried it won't be enough to save them. hannah has been finding out what they'd like to hear from the new chancellor. an industry struggling to shoulder the burden of ever—rising bills. at this leisure centre in cheshire, it's thought energy costs could more than triple in the coming months, with the fitness sector calling on the government to ensure facilities like this receive support

for more than the initial six months, as outlined last week. my main concern is that the fitness sector will not be deemed a vulnerable sector for support when actually it's exceptionally energy hungry, and delivers economic benefits straight back into the british economy. how urgent is the need for clarity on what exactly the business support will look like and how long it will last? it's exceptionally important because we've got to remember that this particular sector is a fixed—cost energy sector, and we've been absorbing an awful lot of other fixed—cost inflation already within our existing cash flows. the hair and beauty industry also wants to be considered for more long—term support with the owner of this salon hoping for a vat cut as well to help make ends meet. running a business used to be fun. we've run this for 21 years, but this last year has been a real struggle. you know, the anxiety you know, you put that face on for the clients. it's all happy, smiling. listen to their problems.

but you go home, put your computer on, see how much money's in the bank and wonder which bill you can pay that day. so it is — it's worrying. we just need some clarity. at this nail salon, charlotte's trying to protect her business as best she can, but is worried her takings will fall as people find ways to save money. i think what worries me the most is not knowing what's coming because i'm fully aware that there will be a cap for the next six months. so it's amazing. it's going to allow us to survive this winter. but for me, i want my business to last for a bit longer than six months and i want to know what's coming after this. i used to have a lot of clients would come here, for example, to have their nails done, and they would pay for full manicure. now they're paying forjust a file and application of the product. so they're buying shorter and cheaper treatments as well. and, back at the gym, some members are considering their options,

as they try to keep up with the rising cost of living. how concerned are you about energy costs going up? very. yes. — i think we all are. especially when you're on a pension. imean, it's... you think, do i still keep paying to come here? if i don't, then i miss out on the social aspect. does it make you think twice about things like your gym membership? yeah, definitely, like. especially... i mean, i've notjoined here at this gym yet. i obviously, i'm sort of coming and having a trial, to see - how much it is. and it will make a massive difference whether i go - for it or not, whereas beforehand i might have not really thought twice about it. - i mightjust have thought, "oh, i've got the money. in the pot, i'll do it," where now it's definitely scarier. i think what the government's just done will help me. so that's made me a bit better. that's made you more optimistic? yes. the government's expected to outline more of its plans towards the end of next week, as it tries to bring the economy back to a good state of health. hannah miller, bbc news, wilmslow.

it's time now to catch up with three men we've come to know well here on breakfast — andy, mike and tim — also known as the three dads. last year they walked 300 miles in memory of their daughters, who all took their own lives. now they're in the middle of another mammoth trek to get more people talking about suicide. alison freeman went to see how they're getting on. flags furled as a mark of respect to the queen. the three dads have been walking since last friday. they're covering 600 miles over four weeks, visiting all four capital cities in the uk. their mission... to get suicide prevention made a compulsory subject on the national curriculum. the death of her majesty has made it a very different walk for the dads, who all lost a daughter to suicide, but one they felt should still go ahead. if we cancelled last week, the earliest we could have re—done it would have been this time next year. the message out about papyrus and hopeline uk,

and encourage people to talk about suicide prevention would have gone for a whole year. and how many young people are going to die in that 12 months? yes, certainly. i mean, our thoughts are very much with the royal family, but i'm sure they'd want us to carry on with what we're doing. last year, we were written - to by his royal highness, the duke of cambridge, and he very much supported us. - so it felt like we had to keep walking, but just do - it slightly differently. last friday, they walked to stormont, then crossed the irish sea to edinburgh, before heading through the scottish borders into andy's home county of cumbria. definitely bits in this that are very powerfully close to home in many ways. walking through cumbria is, because there's so many people i know and love who live here. but also walking away from edinburgh was really quite difficult because that's where sophie lived and that's where she died. still, many people come to see us, who've been touched and bereaved by suicide. you know, they want to

share their stories, they want to hear ours, you know? and, you know, it's all about smashing the stigma, isn't it? and raising awareness. andy, mike and tim's walk takes them through cumbria over the coming days. they go past kendal, where sisters amber and holly have been receiving support, having only very recently lost their stepdad. he would light up a room when he was in it. he was always talking to people. he was a very well—loved man. he wouldn't have thought for one second that he could do this. jim, who was a north yorkshire farmer, was 57 when he took his own life. his stepdaughters say there had been no warning signs. he didn't really believe in mental health. there was a veil across his mental illness. he could mask it with other things, instead ofjust being sad, or just being upset. it was because of this or because of this. they associate mental health with a failure, and they're not coping and they're not being successful.

but it's not... that's not the case at all. why do you think it's so important that we're able to see the dads doing their walk and talking about the topic? seeing somebody of a similar age to him, advocating for mental health and mental wellbeing, it's a step in the right direction. three farmers a week take their own lives. so it's a massively high statistic, and something we just want to change, we need to talk. i know we have all talked openly about how we felt after the loss of our daughters, and definitely when we, you know, we met three weeks after the loss of our daughters and having that support from each other, just as two blokes who didn't know each other beforehand was life—saving. the response we were getting from all over the place, - |itjust reinforced how important| it was to see three crusty blokes talking openly about how they felt and what we'd been through. - so, yeah, we'll keep doing it. probably the thing that's unusual about all three of us, when we do start talking, you can't shut us up.

that was alison freeman reporting. if you've been affected by any of the issues raised, at the website. two police officers had been stabbed in central london this morning. at least one of them we understand it seriously injured. both are being treated in hospital. the metropolitan police say two male officers were attacked at six o'clock this morning. more details as we get them. just a couple of weeks after the tennis great serena williams took her final bow at the us open, another 41—year—old legend has announced his retirement. roger federer, winner of 20 grand slam singles titles, will play his final match at the laver cup in london later this month.

we can speak to the bbc�*s tennis correspondent russell fuller who is in glasgow good to see you. we can talk about the accolade. six australian open when, eight wimbledons, where do you put him in the tennis hall of fame? well, this is a debate that will rumble for years and years to come. he is not statistically the most successful male player of all time, know that djokovic has 21 singles titles and rafa nadal 22. when people come to that decision, a lot of personal feeling comes people come to that decision, a lot of personalfeeling comes into it. the way that roger federer played the game, that set him apart from anyone else. the way he played the game and the grace he moved about centre court at wimbledon. he has a special place in everybody's hearts. someone like roger federer you cannot replace. there are some very

exciting players coming through, we had the youngest world number one of all time, aged 19. roger federer will leave a huge void in the sport, no question about it. he will leave a huge void in the sport, no question about it.— no question about it. he was noticeable — no question about it. he was noticeable because - no question about it. he was noticeable because of- no question about it. he was noticeable because of the i no question about it. he was. noticeable because of the way no question about it. he was - noticeable because of the way he played, he barely broke a sweat. you talk about elegance, the impression was it was effortless for him. he ave ou was it was effortless for him. he: gave you the impression, didn't he, he was gliding around the court. a lot of that was down to his incredible footwork. i always think if the player moves beautifully and has fantastic footwork make you almost don't notice it. when it is the opposite, it becomes very apparent. so much work went into his fitness. he realised early in his career he had to work harder on his fitness and his temperament. hard to imagine now that he had a reputation in hisjunior days forflinging

in his junior days for flinging markets in hisjunior days forflinging markets around the court and swearing and got himself into a bit of hot water. he realised that was not compatible with a successful tennis career. ever since he won wimbledon, before his 22nd birthday in 2003, he never looked back. despite the appearance of looking at fitness, he was a complete grafter, wasn't he? this injury has haunted him for a couple of years now, hasn't it? i him for a couple of years now, hasn't it?— him for a couple of years now, hasn't it? ~' ., , hasn't it? i think he realised the bod had hasn't it? i think he realised the body had reached _ hasn't it? i think he realised the body had reached its _ hasn't it? i think he realised the body had reached its limits - hasn't it? i think he realised the body had reached its limits and| body had reached its limits and capacities. that was the message his body was giving him. i think because serena williams and roger federer had played until the age they had, we almost expected that was normal. he was very fit up until his early 30s, did not have any physical problems at. historically that has been a kind of age when a player slows down. he had adverse knee

operation in 2016. he came back to when two australian open titles and wimbledon after that. two championship points on centrica to win a ninth wimbledon. in reality, to accept now at the age of 41 you are not going to be able to make another comeback. that is something roger federer will be able to take in his stride. he has said he considers himself to be one of the most fortunate people on the planet. thank you. i'll have the latest news and headlines after nine. but for now we can go back to charlie in westminster. we are finding it incredibly seething, watching hughes snake around people slowly and meticulously. a very orderly queue, isn't it? , ., , isn't it? very orderly. the atmosphere _ isn't it? very orderly. the atmosphere is _ isn't it? very orderly. the

atmosphere is jovial. - isn't it? very orderly. the i atmosphere is jovial. earlier isn't it? very orderly. the - atmosphere is jovial. earlier this atmosphere isjovial. earlier this morning we spoke to a mum from wales who had two young children with her. she carried her daughter for many hours through the night while her daughter slept. hours through the night while her daughterslept. she hours through the night while her daughter slept. she got here in the end. the weather has been kind to people. this is the very end of the queue. we will update you in a few minutes on the status of the key. this is the ongoing process we are doing and getting a sense of the number of people here. this morning their numbers have grown, the queue is getting longer. just having a look inside westminster hall as well. this is why everyone is doing this morning for a moment of reflection inside the hall itself. from bridges and streets to grand buildings and underground railway lines, there are many places around the world already named after queen elizabeth ii. following her death, communities quickly found other eye—catching ways to pay tribute.

our arts correspondent david sillito has been looking at some of them. we're in wappenham, in northamptonshire, and i was being led by david and annette wilson... we are actually in the flag as we speak. yes. ..to a royal location. let's go this way anyway. it wasn't straightforward. we're nearly to the end. yes, we're getting there. so this is the point. this is it. i can't see the flag. we are actually in the flag. yes, we're in the flag. how do we see it, then? the only way we can say it properly is if we go up. it is a creation best seen by plane or drone. it was planted in the spring for thejubilee and it was almost cut down. thankfully, it was saved, because it has now become a place of memorial. it was created for the jubilee? that's right, yeah.

what was originally for like a lovely celebration, a happy celebration for the queen, has now become a real tribute to her. normally, you'd have got rid of it by this time of the year, but you're going to keep this, i'm presuming, now. yes. we're going to try and keep it for as long as possible. so a place that began as a celebration has, in many ways, become a place of memorial, but it will soon be gone. however, there are many others now thinking about how to create some lasting memory of this moment. crossrail in london is already the elizabeth line. the olympic park, the queen elizabeth park. the dartford crossing, the queen elizabeth bridge. but this is probably only the beginning. there are many places with important royal memories. take this street in washington dc. it was, in the '90s, a place with a reputation. a cheer went up as the limousines

pulled up on drake place. until recently, it was a street known as one of the city's most violent drug markets. but a visit by the queen marked a transformation, and made global headlines when one resident, alice frazier, broke protocol and gave her house guest a hug. as soon as we got inside, alice gave her a big kiss and hug. so alice hadn't heard that part of the protocol, but the queen was fine with it. she didn't mean it in a way that was forward or presumptive. shejust meant, "hey, i'm glad to have you in my home, "and i'm thrilled. " the street is now called queen's stroll. and in east london, this was created within hours of last week's sad news. abraham, ourartist, was here at 5.30 yesterday morning, and we were done by about 3.30, so smashed it out pretty quickly.

a request from the children of gainsborough primary in newham, who are very proud of their new artwork. what did you think when you first saw it? i thought it was a beautiful painting, and i was so happy with the people that did it. it's amazing. itjust creates more memories inside your head. the eyes look real, very real. and they also remind us that they were not alone, that she will still be there. so if we sometimes pass, we can always give her flowers. i've never seen a picture, like, that great, and especially the crown. i love it _ everyone can see this walking past. exactly. laying flowers. everyone can pay tribute to her majesty the queen, then having her on the front of our school. and the kids, as soon as they came into school, they were saying, "we want something." yeah, yeah, they wanted us to do something, but they wanted something permanent. they wanted something big. not all of us can lay flowers

at a palace or queue for the lying in state, but there are many ways to remember. david sillito, bbc news, newham, east london. good morning and welcome to breakfast. he'll host a reception at cardiff castle and meet the first minister. thousands of people spend the night queing to pay their final respects to queen elizabeth in westminster hall, as more details are revealed about monday's state funeral. the queue to enter westminster hall continues to grow. it's currently around four and half miles long with waiting times of more than 11 hours. away from westminster, today's other headlines — the metropolitan police have

confirmed that two police officers have been stabbed in london. one is said to be seriously injured. authorities in ukraine say they're invesigating evidence of a mass grave in the city of izyum, which was recently liberated from russian occupation. good morning. it's friday september the 16th. you're watching bbc breakfast from westminster, where her majesty the queen has spent a second night lying in state. the queue to enter westminster hall is now stretching back 4.4 miles as thousands more people wait to pay their respects. this evening, all four of her majesty's children — king charles, princess anne, prince andrew and prince edward — will hold a vigil by their mother's coffin. before that, the king and queen consort will travel to cardiff, completing their tour of the uk, as danjohnson reports.

public engagement is already an early hallmark of king charles' reign. even in grief, he's made time to meet people, first in scotland, before greeting crowds on a visit to northern ireland. he also shook hands outside buckingham palace shortly after the queen's death was announced. and today, he and the queen consort will travel to wales, completing the four corners of the kingdom and emphasising the ties of union. the other royals have been out across the country too. the prince and princess of wales william and catherine were at sandringham in norfolk to see the flowers left for the queen and to exchange a few words. i love his little guardsman t—shirt, and a paddington as well. i think paddington might have knocked the corgi off the top spot.

we spoke to william and we spoke to kate. they both said about their outfits, how nice they were. they're just really nice and genuine people. we thanked them for the queen and everything she's done and all the things they're doing for everyone, it'sjust so nice. and william was asked about that walk behind his grandmother's coffin on wednesday. doing the walk yesterday was challenging. the earl and countess of wessex met people in manchester and lit candles for the queen at the city's cathedral. and this was princess anne back in scotland to greet crowds in glasgow. as the solemn stream of mourners continues paying their respects in westminster, we're learning more detail about monday's state funeral. at 10.114, the queen's coffin will leave the hall and travel

to westminster abbey. it will arrive there at 10.52. there have been rehearsals in the darkness of the early hours to check everyone knows their place and performs their role with perfect precision. and it is the senior armed service, 150 sailors of the royal navy, who have the traditional responsibility of hauling the state gun carriage. it will actually be the last thing i do in uniform before retiring. so for me to be able to convey her majesty to her resting place in my last day in uniform is an honour that is really difficult to put in to words. my grandfather lined the streets for her coronation, and i'm going to be lining the streets for her funeral, and to think i get some kind of symmetry and circularity out of that, and that i now get to welcome his majesty the king

onto the throne amd serve him, and my grandfather and my father both served the queen. this area, parliament square, has been very busy with people during the lying in state, but by monday morning, it will all be secured, because it is only a shortjourney from westminster hall across to westminster abbey, but gathered inside there will be hundreds of world leaders and heads of state. it is such a rare occasion for so many of them to be in the same place at once. so consider the work of the police and many others in organising all of this and keeping everyone safe. sniffer dog scout is here from cumbria, one of many extra resources brought into the capital. at the end of the service, in the place the queen was crowned, two minutes of silence will be observed across the country. then the procession heads

from the abbey up the mall past buckingham palace and along constitution hill to hyde park corner and the wellington arch, where the coffin will be transferred to the state hearse for the drive to windsor, up the long walk to the castle, and then st george's chapel for another service at 11.00. there is then a private ceremony where the queen's coffin will be laid to rest alongside that of prince philip. before that, three more days for the public to pay their respects in their own way, for their own reasons. that is the only sound punctuating the profound solemn silence, a signal every 20 minutes for a change of guards. and tonight it will be her majesty's four children, including the king, who will take their place and stand at the four corners of her coffin in quiet vigil. danjohnson, bbc news, westminster.

sarah campbell joins me sarah campbelljoins me now. just look ahead to today's events on the movements of the royal family and king charles. movements of the royal family and king charlee— king charles. king charles was out of ublic king charles. king charles was out of public view _ king charles. king charles was out of public view yesterday, - king charles. king charles was out of public view yesterday, but - king charles. king charles was out| of public view yesterday, but taking lots of calls, world leaders ringing to offer their condolences. today, he will be back visiting wales for the first time as the new monarch. of course it was the prince of wales for so many decades, but he will visit cardiff today, going to the cathedral, meeting the first minister, going to be parliament, so that'll be a fairly big day for him. of people expected to be there to greet him. he is expected to walk about in me does many people as possible. the new prince and princess of wales, william and catherine, they will be out today as well, meeting troops of the army

training centre. these are commonwealth troops who have been deployed to help with the state funeral arrangements. deployed to help with the state funeralarrangements. so deployed to help with the state funeral arrangements. so an idea again of what a massive logistical exercise this is. and then this evening, the focus will once again from a real be here at westminster hall, because there will be the ritual of the princes, so this will be as we saw in edinburgh, the four children of the monarch. —— the vigil of the princes. so can charles, prince andrew, prince edward, and the princess royal, princess anne, will be taking part in that this evening at 7.30. fix, in that this evening at 7.30. a lot of --eole in that this evening at 7.30. a lot of people have — in that this evening at 7.30. a lot of people have mentioned - in that this evening at 7.30. a lot of people have mentioned the formal occasions the royals are required to carry on with, but that is a very personal moment, isn't it? yes, one of those moments _ personal moment, isn't it? yes, one of those moments in _ personal moment, isn't it? yes, one of those moments in history, - personal moment, isn't it? yes, one of those moments in history, the - of those moments in history, the image of the four children around the coffin of this evening, and people may have seen that has been widely reported across newspapers that there may well be a vigil

carried out by grandchildren of the queen, that perhaps will happen tomorrow. we haven't had that confirmed by buckingham palace, we await official confirmation of that. but again, that may well be a moment to see princes william and harry are taking their place mounting a vigil around their grandmother's coffin. sarah, thank you very much. as we've been hearing, the queue to file past her majesty's coffin is enormous — more than four miles long at present. the wait time now is more than 1a hours. this is very much the end of thatjourney. the advice now as it is a good idea not to try and join the queue for the moment, unless you have already left home to do so. they are saying it is better to wait until possibly it is a little quieter later in the day.

it's brilliantly organised, it's got a great atmosphere, it's almost become an event in itself, and much of that is thanks to the small army of volunteers who are helping out. our reporter tim muffett went to see them in action. not far, just round the corner. nearly there. be prepared. rarely has the motto of the scouts felt so apt. plans for this queue have been in place for years. it needs supporting, organising, and repression. ——refreshing. it is a humbling experience. we have been helping with the queue management, with disabled access, collecting a lot of food on the way for food banks. part of the scout's honour is to serve the queen and now the king, but that has never felt more important. absolutely, this is our last chance to serve the queen. you had a former scout leader who died last year, this was something he felt would be very important for you to do.

he had such respect for the flag and the queen, always took it so seriously so it is very nice to be here for him. it has been a real honour. for many, it is a question of knowing where to go and how long the queue will take. victoria is one of the volunteer marshals. fantastic, iam happy and glad i am doing that. the people are so nice. people are happy coming to pay their respects. so many people we have spoken to in this queue have praised the organisation, the atmosphere, and the sense that it really is bringing people together, notjust physically, but emotionally as well. jonathan is one of many faith volunteers, talking, listening, and offering solace and support when needed. just that sense of togetherness and oneness. there was a request from lambeth palace for people to volunteer for the chaplaincy,

and being jewish and my parents as refugees, feeling safe in this country, ifelt a debt. and something is also happening in these queuee which the queen was all about, people who did not know each other are forming friendships, across faiths, across different parts of the country and the world. ifeel what i have heard many people say, i had not thought i would feel so deeply about this. some are in the queue have needed medical support, around 300 on wednesday, but for this red cross volunteer, the unique nature of this queue has meant support has taken different forms. the association with bereavement, with grief, people who have maybe lost loved ones, this is a triggering event for them. they are here both to pay their respects and in some cases appreciating their own vulnerability in doing so. in scale and significance,

this queue is unlike any other. 2a hours a day, hundreds of volunteers are on hand, doing what they can to keep it moving. with me this morning as the mayor of london, sadiq khan. thank you for joining me. news this morning of two police officers to have been stabbed, what can you tell us at this stage? i stabbed, what can you tell us at this stage?— stabbed, what can you tell us at this stage? i have spoken to the commissioner, _ this stage? i have spoken to the commissioner, firstly _ this stage? i have spoken to the commissioner, firstly at - this stage? i have spoken to the commissioner, firstly at 6.30, l this stage? i have spoken to the i commissioner, firstly at 6.30, and several times since. two of our officers were stabbed this morning, neither is in a life—threatening condition, thankfully. just to reassure those watching, the met police service have confirmed that this is not a terror —related incident. this is an example of the

hugo, what can you tell us about this discovery? this morning, officials returning to the forest outside the city of izyum. they believed 400 bodies have been buried at this location. first reports suggest there are some ukrainian soldiers but also civilians and residents are saying that some of those civilians who have been buried there died from bombing and also lack of health care. so investigators are now going back to the site outside izyum, one of the cities that have been retaken by ukrainian forces in the north—east of the country during this counter offensive. last night, president volodymyr zelensky compared the situation there an what happened when russian forces are accused of atrocities, he said the russians are leading deaths everywhere and must be held accountable.— everywhere and must be held accountable. ., ., , accountable. hugo with the latest from k iv, accountable. hugo with the latest from kyiv, thank _ accountable. hugo with the latest from kyiv, thank you. _ retail sales are down by more

money is simply not stretching as far and we are buying less as a result. and we expect that trend to continue. and a travel warning this morning as well. tens of thousands of passengers impacted by a strike by french air traffic control staff today. this is expected to impact tens of thousands of passengers, notjust if you're travelling to and from france, but also most flights to countries like spain and portugal, which usually fly in french air space. more disruption on monday as well. heathrow airport is stopping all arrivals and departures for 15 minutes before and after the two minutes' silence, as well as limiting them at key points later in the day. the aim is to cut noise levels, and the airport says will affect around 15% of its schedule. so far, we've heard from british airways, who say 100 flights are being cancelled as a result, mostly on short—haul european routes. if you're affected, you should be offered alternative flights or a refund. the advice, as always, is to check the latest flight information before you travel to the airport. always. hannah, thank you.

good morning from bbc london, i'm tolu adeoye. the mayor of london sadiq khan has condemned the stabbing of two police officers in central london — with one said to be seriously injured. the metropolitan police says the officers were attacked on haymarket, close to leicester square at around 6am. a man has been arrested. two of our officers have been stabbed. they've been rushed to hospital and are receiving treatment. it's really important to reassure the public that an arrest has been made. it's a reminder, actually, of notjust the bravery of our officers but the risks they take every day when i put on their uniform. —— they put on their uniform. students at greenwich university have created a garden in memory of sabina nessa, who was murdered by a stranger as she walked through a park in kidbrooke.

tomorrow marks a year since the primary school teacher was killed. students at her former university have been campaigning against male violence towards women. there was a sense of alarm and women were really panicking. a lot of them live quite near to sabina. a lot of them were concerned about their own safety. and, for me, itjust felt that there was nowhere for them to channel that energy and feel a bit more supported. so i think that is sort of... that formed the basis of starting up the sabina project. thousands of people have continued to queue overnight to pay their respects to the queen. during her reign her majesty carried out many visits in times of distress — one of the most high profile was to north kensington shortly after the grenfell tower fire. we'll be hearing from some of those she met on our 6.30pm programme later today. let's take a look at the travel situation. now the weather with elizabeth rizzini. hello there.

good morning. well, it's a chilly start to the day. temperatures for many of us having dropped back into single figures last night. and today in general will feel cooler across the capital than it has been for some time. now there is the small chance of one or two isolated showers, particularly towards eastern areas, just drifting down on this noticeable northerly wind. but, for many of us, i think it will be a dry day. there will be some sunny spells emerging throughout, just variable amounts of cloud. temperatures at around 17 celsius, so a bit cooler than it was yesterday. overnight tonight, it is going to feel really quite cold. clear skies and lighter winds. temperatures in some of the rural sheltered spots could possibly drop low enough for a touch of ground frost, especially out towards western home counties, even in central london. just bear it in mind if you're joining the queue for westminster hall for the lying in state, temperatures even here could drop back into single figures. so it is going to be a cold start to the day on saturday. over the weekend, there will possibly be a bit more cloud around, but also some sunny spells. it's set to stay dry. the winds are lighter. it won't be quite so chilly on saturday night into sunday.

again, sunday is looking dry, monday, too, but we could start off the morning with a bit of mist. just before we go, time for another one of your memories of the queen. this one is from colin dawson. taken at trooping the colour — he thinks in 1970. at the time a friend from australia was visiting, who wanted to see the ceremony. i'm back with the lunchtime news at the later time of 2:30pm. bye for now. good morning. you're watching bbc breakfast from westminster, where her majesty the queen is now lying in state for a second full day. let's give you a sense of the queue. thousands of people queueing alongside the river thames. these are the scenes in westminster, this

is close to the end of the long, long queue. maybe we can show you the images from above london, from the images from above london, from the helicopter. it is becoming an extraordinary site as the queue winds its way across lambeth bridge, right down the southbank of the river as far as southwark park, some five miles from where we are here. we know southwark park is filling up. you need to check important information. you need to check the status of the queue. if you are intending to come down, do check. authorities are quite worried their numbers are growing so much they may have to pause the queue it southwark park becomes full. so do check before you come down. sarah campbell is with me. basically we are getting

a bit more information about significant moments the royal family will be involved in. inside the hall, we can show you the images now. so many people have been queueing, having their moment of reflection. laterthis queueing, having their moment of reflection. later this evening members of the royal family will be involved, and over the next two days. involved, and over the next two da s. :, involved, and over the next two da s. . ., , . , days. that the 'ewel of the princes, it is known. — days. that the jewel of the princes, it is known. this _ days. that the jewel of the princes, it is known. this evening _ days. that the jewel of the princes, it is known. this evening at - days. that the jewel of the princes, | it is known. this evening at 7:30pm, the king and his two siblings with princess and will take their vigil of around the coffin. we have had confirmation that tomorrow evening there will be a second vigil. her majesty'seight grandchildren will

stand vigil behind her coffin. the prince of wales, prince william, will stand at the head. prince harry, the duke of sussex at the foot. at the king's request, they will both be in uniform. the significance of that, up until now, we thought prince harry essentially would not be in uniform as he is no longer a working royal. at the request of the king they will both be in uniform. the other grandchildren will be in morning coat and formal dress. the prince of wales will be thanked by mrs zara tindall and peter phillips. princess beatrice and princess eugenie. lady louise and viscount at the foot of the coffin. they are keen to pay their respects were just as their parents are doing the evening before. brute parents are doing the evening before. ~ ., , ., before. we mentioned this quite a

king charles will complete his uk tour as monarch with a visit to cardiff today. but his close association to wales goes back more than 60 years. he has a home there and made countless official visits during his six decades as prince of wales. hywel griffith has been looking back at the relationship between wales and the new king. archive: university college, aberystwyth, where, - to the relief of the nation, prince charles was given a warm and very friendly welcome. the prince, who onjuly1st becomes prince of wales, is taking a nine—week welsh language and history course at the university. aberystwyth in 1969, and the then prince charles was about to take a crash course in cymraeg — the welsh language. it was a way of trying to win over a nation sceptical of having an englishman as prince of wales. it didn't stop the protests in the lead—up to his investiture. fanfare.

for years, these images defined his relationship with wales but tensions gradually eased, that relationship relaxed, and royal patronage was used to find a place in welsh life. his love of the arts and welsh culture. i think his commitment to wales has always been there. i wouldn't. .. i don't doubt it for one minute. for the last 16 years, charles has had a home in wales. llwynywermod, one of his four royal residences. others have welcomed him into their home. several times the king has been for a dip in sir norman's pool. he's just a lovely man, actually. you know, a chap you could go and have a couple of pints with. and i think that is apparent anyway. i mean, he's always got the right word to give.

as cardiff prepares for his first visit as king, what will be the choice of words this time? what message will charles iii want to convey? wales has changed hugely since the investiture in the 1960s, and, once again, there are questions about the future of the monarchy�*s role here. in cardiff, opinions are divided. oh, i think they bring a lot of revenue, obviously, to this country. to wales ? yes, yes. yes. to everywhere. yeah. people love the monarchy, i think. i don't know. it just seems out of touch with where we are as a country now. i think now the queen's gone, and i think a lot of people were holding onto the romance of the queen. but, yeah, i personally... not part of the future for wales. no. as king, charles may now once again need to persuade people here that the royal relationship with wales is one which should endure. hywel griffith, bbc news, cardiff.

there have been plenty of tributes paid to roger federer, including this from serena williams, who "welcomed him to the retirement club", saying federer "inspired countless millions and millions of people — including me." manchester united are up and running in the europa league, after beating the moldovan side sherrif tiraspol 2—0 with goals from jadon sancho and cristiano ronaldo. west ham survived a scare in the europa conference league to make it two wins from two. they came from behind to beat danish side silkeborg, while hearts won in latvia. and england have won their twenty20 series against india. they won the third match of the series in bristol by seven wickets — with alice capsey hiting the winning runs. a vest worn by the legendary basketball player michaeljordan has sold for more than ten million dollars — that's nearly nine million pounds — at auction in new york. jordan wore it while playing for the chicago bulls in the opening
