is that at the moment we are seeing slowing growth in major economies, slowing growrth in europe and china and the us, seeing prices shooting upwards at the same time central banks around the world in a very synchronised manner increasing interest rates in order to take the heat out of prices. the problem with doing that is that it also weighs on investment and potentially weighs on growth. there is a risk, one of a number of scenarios the world bank has put forward, that we could go into a global recession, that is where income per head around the world declines clients for a significant period. that does not happen very often, there have only been about five global recession since the �*70s, but the world bank thinks there is a significant risk of that happening now. here's the problem with interest rate rises, they are designed to curb demand and what happens is you increase the cost of borrowing, that means people have less disposable income, they are likely to spend less and that takes the heat out

of prices, the issue at the moment is that the problem is not one of demand, it is of supply. so by increasing interest rates, you might not have that much impact on inflation, because the main feeders into inflation at the moment really are energy price rises. there is concern that interest rate rises might not be that effective and a number of people around the world have been saying that. what the world bank is saying is not that interest rate rises per se are a bad thing, it says central banks need to do this, but it says they should put their positions very clearly and that governments should take account of what's going on and that governments who have been reducing spending — remember, we saw very high government spending throughout the pandemic, governments which are reining back on public spending should be careful how they do that at a time of interest rate rises and should perhaps target what spending they have towards the people who need it most. the world bank is also saying that governments around the world should coordinate on things like procuring commodities, supplying commodities, should make trading with one another

easy to soften that part, and they should make it easier for employees to move around and the effect of what's going on at the moment can be softened in that way. what the world bank is not saying is that central banks should refrain from interest rate rises, although there are economists who say that is what they should do. let's start with the english premier league which resumes with two games later this friday. the first since fixtures were postponed as a mark of respect following the death of queen elizabeth ii. there will be a minutes silence at all matches across the weekend and a round of applause in the 70th minute. players will wear black armbands and flags will wear black armbands and flags will fly at half mast. aston villa host southampton and for the villa manager steven gerard, he says the loss of the queen affected both the club and him personally.

my family and i have been fascinated with the royal family over the years. my mum and dad, the same. so, yeah, i would like to pay my respects, from a club point of view and i'm sure the fans will back that up and hopefully we can give a performance for the boys to be proud of. villa have just one win so far, as do nottingham forest. forest manager steve cooper assured the clubs fans they will pay an appropriate tribute. ~ ., ., , ., tribute. we want to show the right resects tribute. we want to show the right respects in — tribute. we want to show the right respects in our— tribute. we want to show the right

fitzpatrick. the rome course is set to host ryder cup. that is the sport for now. you can stay up—to—date on the latest stories on sports website in the uk. that is it from me. with energy prices soaring in much of the world, in italy it's unsurprisingly become a key issue in the election which is happening in just over a week. polls suggest a coalition led by the far—right is likely to win, with some of its members now talking of dropping sanctions on russia , because of the cost—of—living crisis. our italy correspondent mark lowen reports. in the lush italian alps lies russian leverage in europe. for long its gas has poured in here, making up 40% of italy's total, the largest share, but now with western sanctions over ukraine, moscow has tightened the taps, its supply down by 60%. vladimir putin pushing a key pressure point.

this is the entry point for the russian gas. as the flow drops, europe is racing, belatedly, to wean itself off russian reliance. translation: it's very difficult | to predict whether we will have | enough gas for the winter or not. with the government, we are working hard to resolve or at least succeed in fighting this emergency situation and avoid having gas rationing. until now, russia has always been a reliable supplier. not even during the cold war did we go without its gas. italy is now importing more liquefied natural gas stored offshore and algeria has replaced russia as its biggest provider. at trieste airport, the other side of the ukraine story. with the war blocking black sea ports, container traffic comes here instead, up i7%. here in trieste, always a crossroads, the interconnection of the ukraine war is complex.

as the port booms, russian gas elsewhere is drying up and all the while the world's largest sailing yacht, owned by an oligarch close to the kremlin, has been seized, but for ordinary italians the impact is clear — the war is driving up prices and making more question whether it's really worth it. at this ice cream parlour, serving up mouthwatering scoops has soured as electricity bills rocket. i'm not voting, says the owner, in elections coming up, as energy prices triple, making his business unsustainable. translation: we will have to stop l paying bills soon so they will cut l us off and shut us down. my grandfather opened this place in 1929, we survived the second world war and it'll hurt a lot if we have to close because of an electricity crisis. maybe the government should look at how hungry its people are and ask if it can still help ukraine. that is echoed by matteo salvini

of the right—wing coalition topping the polls, suggesting dropping sanctions on moscow. he has close ties to putin, like his ally silvio berlusconi. with most in italy against arming ukraine, it is an exploitable link for the kremlin. translation: this is about our constitution which explicitly - rejects participating in wars. we are rejecting russian gas in favour of other countries with dirty human rights records, like qatar and algeria, but we're not talking about how europeans are being brought to their knees by this war. ukraine's nightmare is rippling through europe and this nation, as it casts its ballot. italy too wants victory in kyiv, but at what cost? mark lowen, bbc news, trieste. staying in italy, where at least ten people have died after heavy rains and flooding hit the central region of marche. search operations are under way

for four people who're still missing. about a0 centimetres of rain fell in three hours, a third of the rainfall usually received in a year. muddy floodwater swept through several towns near the city of ancona, leaving a trail of trapped and damaged vehicles and ruining the ground floors of many homes and shops. emergency teams in china have been tackling a fire at a skyscraper in the central city of changsha. as these pictures show, the fire took hold of the building, which houses an office of the state—owned company china telecom. it's not clear what started the flames, and officials have said they do not yet have any idea if there are any casualties. returning to our main story, the lying—on—state of queen elizabeth at westminster. in the next hour, the queen's four children, king charles, anne the princess royal, prince andrew the duke of york and prince edward the duke of wessex, will all stand vigil around the queen's coffin

in westminster hall for 15 minutes. the queen's grandchildren are expected to do the same tomorrow. meanwhile a former private secretary to the queen says it's been humbling to witness the nation mourn her passing, as our royal correspondent nicholas witchell reports. her passing has done what she always strove to do throughout her long reign — to bring people together, to be a focus for the best of us, for feelings of camaraderie and kindness. albeit underpinned just now by a deep sadness. and just like the institution of monarchy, there is something timeless about the rituals of royal mourning. archive: for over three miles, the queue stretches. _ keeping vigil, that they may make their last salute - to a beloved monarch. 1952, and the lying—in—state of the queen's father, king george vi. a very different age — but in westminster hall, the same certainties.

in the sombre grey, the catafalque is the only island of colour... - the queen well understood the role of the monarchy as a reference point across the generations. those who knew her best, other than herfamily, were her closest officials. at the palace as the we queen's private secretary, what does he make of the reaction to her death? extraordinarily humbling i think is the first word that comes to mind. it is, it has been so beautifully organised, this ability for thousands of people to pay this tribute, and i, i do think that that is an essential part of this ten—day mourning period, this contact between us, the people,

and our departed queen. on monday, the state funeral will take place, when the queen's coffin will be borne to westminster abbey on a gun carriage. i think it will be hugely important, it will be the culmination of this long period, it will be, i believe, intensely moving, deeply solemn, but a moment, i think, of a real moment of national catharsis, before we all go back to work, go back to the world we know, which will never be quite the same, but a sense of, well, that, we need to get back to business. it isn'tjust britain which is marking the queen's passing. the prince and princess of wales have been meeting troops

from different commonwealth countries, who will be taking part in the state funeral. a solemn day which will mark the end of a long reign. nicholas witchell, bbc news. people have been owfi own ways to pay respects. we are in wappenham in northamptonshire. not far to go. and i was being led by david and annette wilson... yeah, we are actually in the flag as we speak, yes. ..to a royal location. let's go this way anyway. 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. we are in the flag, yes. we're in the flag? how do we see it, then? the only way we can see 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 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 are going to keep this, iam 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. this mural, for instance, was commissioned and 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. the feathers look good, don't they? they look real. and it also will remind us that we are not alone, that she will still be there. so if we sometimes pass, we can always give her flowers. i have never seen a picture that great, especially- the crown, i love it. everyone can see this walking past. exactly. they are going to be laying flowers. what better way to pay tribute to her majesty the queen than 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. many thousands still queueing to pay their respects to the queen. the uk government has set up this website to track the queue to get into westminster hall. it is back open. the current waiting time is 22 hours to reach the front and enter the hall. the length of the queue is over five males, and enter the hall. the length of the queue is overfive males, eight kilometres, and the people waiting to queue planning tojoin the queue

are being told overnight temperatures will be very cold. come prepared. king has returned to london and buckingham palace as he prepares to hold a vigil at the coffin of his mother, queen elizabeth alongside his siblings. that will happen in under one hour, in half an hour he will be there with his siblings in westminster hall for around 15 minutes. many hundreds of people still visiting buckingham palace as well. let's just have a quick look at the queues. people they are joining the back of it and being told they could have to wait 22 hours in rather chilly autumnal temperatures. this is the scene inside the 1000 year old westminster hall as people filed

past paying their own final farewells to a much loved monarch in the sombre yet majestic scene. you're watching bbc news. now it's time for a look at the weather with ben rich. hello. it has been feeling rather chilly out there across some parts of the uk today. we stick with that cool feel overnight and into the weekend. largely dry but with some cool days and some rather cold nights. not least tonight. this is the earliest satellite picture and while many polices saw spells of sunshine, showers across northern ireland, wales, some down the eastern coast when it has been really quite windy. it will stay breezy overnight. quite big waves crashing into some of the shorelines and still some showers running down

this east coast. showers out west should fade, could see the odd fog badge in northern ireland. towns and cities around 4 degrees. some places in the countryside dropping to freezing with a touch of frost tomorrow morning. through tomorrow there will be a lot of dry weather. spells of sunshine, but more cloud into northern ireland and scotland, still some showers into the east coast, especially norfolk, some rain at times in the north of scotland. top temperatures 13 for stornoway, just ten in lerwick, for the southend west cardiff and plymouth looking at highs of 18. the coldest weather through saturday night will be down towards the south, could be a touch of frost, perhaps not quite as cold for some places fun further north because there will be more cloud, that cloud producing one or two showers as it drifts south, there will still be some sunny spells through the day, quite breezy for eastern coast but that wind will

slowly ease as the weekend wears on. temperatures on sunday lower than we have been used to of late, between 12 and 19. sunday night could bring fog patches underneath this area of high pressure as it builds more strongly across the uk. this will be with us monday for the day of the queen's state funeral. that means lots of dry weather. some sunny spells but there will be quite a lot of cloud that will develop through the day. showers in north—west scotland, some around these irish sea coasts, just a small chance of a shower in and around the london area but on balance i think it should stay dry. temperatures will range from 11—19. goodbye for now.

this is bbc news broadcasting to viewers in the uk and around the world. i'm geeta guru—murthy. the headlines: a vigilfor queen elizabeth — the late monarch's four children will all stand watch around her coffin in westminster hall. i'm shaun ley here in westminster, where ahead of that vigil, thousands of mouners continue to file past the coffin with queues stretching for miles. among the thousands — many famous faces, including david beckham, the football star, who had been queuing since two in the morning. earlier, huge crowds turned out to greet king charles as he ended his tour of the uk in wales. he told the welsh parliament the country held a special place in his mother's heart.

the land of wales could not have been closer to my mother's heart. roedd lle arbennig i gymru yn ei chalon. and authorities investigating a mass burial site in newly liberated ukrainian territory say most of the bodies exhumed were civilians. for all of you watching on pbs and around the globe, a warm welcome. in the next half hour, queen elizabeth's four children — king charles, anne, the princess royal, prince andrew, the duke of york, and prince edward, the earl of wessex — will all stand vigil around the queen's coffin in westminster hall.

these are live pictures from the hall, where the late queen elizabeth is lying in state and where a stream of mourners continues to pass her coffin to pay their respects, after queuing for many hours. we will bring new continued special coverage of that vigil shortly with all four royals — coverage of that vigil shortly with all four royals and _ coverage of that vigil shortly with all four royals and ceremonial military uniform accompanying the coffin for 15 minutes. the queen's eight grandchildren are expected to do the same tomorrow. earlier, king charles paid his first official visit to wales, bringing to a conclusion his tour of the four uk home nations since becoming monarch. the king attended a service of prayer and reflection for the late queen at llandaff cathedral in cardiff. the king and the queen consort, camilla, also visited the senedd, where he responded to a motion of condolence in both english and welsh, reflecting on the queen's love for the nation,

and the privilege he felt serving as the prince of wales. large crowds of well—wishers lined the streets, with some presenting them with gifts and flowers. our special correspondent allan little has been watching the day's events. this is the character of a homecoming. his relationship with wales is intimate. as a student, he studied the welsh language and spoke welsh as it is investiture as prince of whales in 1969. many of the people he met today have known him for years. llandaff cathedral connects us to the shared experience of the second world war. queen elizabeth's visit

marked the completion of its restoration, characterising the early years of her reign. here, the king and queen consort attended a service of prayer and reflection for her life. a the first minister mark drakeford read the verse, and now, oh my lord, you have made your servant king. wells was confirmed as an official language here only in 2011. it is strengthening in this age of devolved government. the bilingualism of this service another celebration of the distinctiveness of wales within the uk. as wales gains an even stronger sense of nationhood, and our place within the world,

we should still remember that shared traditions count. outside the cathedral, another of those moments he has seemed this week to relish most. this is a king who wants to be visible and to engage directly with the people. the future of the union has been at the heart of this first week of his reign. at every turn, the king has embraced the distinctive traditions by which the nations of his kingdom express their identities. the biggest danger to the union is arrogance around its continuation. i suspect the monarchy has got perhaps even greater sensitivity than politicians to this, because there is a real sense of understanding that the cultural and political heritages of each of the nations is very different. and certainly the queen reflected that in her remarks when she was opening the national assembly and then the senedd, and i would expect king charles to do the same. and he did.

0n the floor of the senedd, he replied to a motion of condolence in both languages. through all the years of her reign, the land of wales could not have been closer to my mother's heart. roedd lle arbenig i gymru yn ei chalon. i know she took immense pride in your many great achievements. even as she also felt with you deeply in time of sorrow. it must surely be counted the greatest privilege to belong to a land that could inspire such devotion. i am resolved to honour that selfless example in the spirit of the words by which i have always tried to live my own life. i serve.

cardiff castle, where this first tour of the new king's reign ended, dates from the time of william the conqueror, a reminder in medieval architecture of the long continuity is that the monarchy is rooted in full stop in the afternoon sunshine, the king greeted thousands who had come to see him. it was a relaxed end to an otherwise energetic first week, in which it has been easy to forget that the king is also leading his family through a period of intense private sorrow, on which the eyes of the world intrude. on monday, he will lay his mother to rest and lead the country in mourning a monarch who had come to embody much of the character of britain itself — its shared history, its shared identity. allan little reporting from wales. let's cross live to westminster now

and my colleague shaun ley. certainly more crowd here, and in fact you can see a steady stream of people continuing to file past the building, they have just emerged from a kind of chicane, an airport style chicane, the sort of thing you would see just as you thought you were going to get your luggage, before you get to the immigration control at a big airport, and therefore the idea behind this is to try and reduce the prospect of a clog up of people, keep people moving, keep them going at a steady pace, but loses some time. yesterday, people were saying that you can, only a few hundred yards wide, was taking them two i was to get through. if we look behind us, you will notice people are wearing more codes this evening than 2a hours a girl, a noticeable chill in the autumn in london on friday evening, that certainly was not the case 2a hours ago, but it does not deemed the enthusiasm. the queue,

which runs from lambeth bridge to southwark park, is now approximately five miles or eight kilometres long. earlier today, the government said the park had reached capacity, so the park had reached capacity, so the gates would be closed for six hours. angus crawford reports on that. step by step, yard by yard and mile by mile. still they come, in their thousands. here, the very start of the queue in southwark park. sorry, guys, we are closed now. so many at one point the gates were closed to stop overcrowding. even that didn't put people off. we have come from birmingham, and our plans are quite simply to stay here until the gates are open. we are tough, we are not worried about it. we want to pay our respects. we are here for the long haul. we will manage. opening again soon after,

the flow carefully regulated. until some time around breakfast tomorrow morning. but this is a tale of two queues — this one for people with disabilities, again, too many for the time slots available. thank you for bearing with us, i know it is frustrating. the advice once more — please delay your visit. pat has been a volunteer for 50 years. i have never seen anything like this, we have planned this for a long time, you know, we are working with numerous agencies across, so you are in safe hands, you are in good hands. they have treated more than 100 people for minor ailments already today. a queue that is now apparently visible from space. the working week done, the line can only grow.

a national moment no—one wants to miss. angus crawford, bbc news. i have to say that the heads of state who are coming, around 500 heads of state, dignitaries and members of other royal families, will be attending the funeral at westminster abbey on monday. they won't necessarily be having a particularly comfortable experience either. most of them have been told they will have to come in by bus. now, they will be quite nice buses, but they will be corralled together on those buses to make the journey, because this is quite simply the biggest security and logistical challenge the metropolitan police, which is in charge of policing london and has responsibility for diplomatic policing, says it has ever dealt with. the bbc�*s diplomatic correspondent james landale explores the challenges. this ancient abbey may be the stage for an historic state funeral on monday, but it will also play

host to an extraordinary assembly of world leaders — hundreds of foreign dignitaries come to mourn the queen, but also attend a diplomatic gathering the like of which not seen for decades. they'll have a chance to attend the lying—in—state at westminster hall. this afternoon, jacinda ardern, the prime minister of new zealand, was among the first foreign leaders to pay their respects. on sunday, they'll go to a reception with the king at buckingham palace. they will also be able to sign a book of condolence down the road at lancaster house. all this is going to require a huge amount of security. this is the single largest protection operation that the met police has ever undertaken. we are well versed with working with and engaging with leaders and their support teams from across the world, and that's what we'll be doing next week to ensure this is a safe and secure environment. but before going to westminster abbey on monday, these global statesmen and women

will have to pay a perhaps unexpected visit to the royal hospital chelsea — famous for its pensioners and flower show. the royal hospital here will become something of an upmarket park—and—ride. kings and queens, heads of state and government will arrive here on monday morning amid tight security, and then they'll do something they probably don't do very often. they'll take the bus. buses perhaps a bit like this one. there are just too many vips coming for each to take their own cars. so the emperor ofjapan won't be able to use his rolls—royce and might have to sit on the bus alongside a mere politician or diplomat. they are here principally to honour the queen, not to talk to each other, and so they are more pliable, they will do the bidding of the foreign office protocol perhaps more happily than if this had been a summit. but yes, who sits next to whom, who is talking to whom will be something on the minds of everybody there.

of course, there will be exceptions. the president of the united states doesn't take the bus — he takes the beast, an armoured car he used this week as he visited the british embassy in washington. not everyone is coming. president putin is not invited because of russia's invasion of ukraine, and president xi of china will probably send his deputy. and some mps don't want even him to come because of china's human—rights abuses. so politics may follow the politicians into the abbey, but once inside, the focus will turn inevitably to the woman they've come to mourn. james landale, bbc news. we can speak now to helen catt, who's with mourners who've been paying their respects in westminster hall and have now emerged the other side. helen, what is the mood there this evening? helen, what is the mood there this evenin: ? ., ., , helen, what is the mood there this evenin: ? , �*, evening? the mood is, it's quiet, it's reflective, _ evening? the mood is, it's quiet, it's reflective, but _ evening? the mood is, it's quiet, it's reflective, but there - evening? the mood is, it's quiet, it's reflective, but there are - evening? the mood is, it's quiet, it's reflective, but there are large

the current guard of honour around the current guard of honour around the coffin gives way for the princess royal, king charles, the earl of wessex and the duke of york, for them to stand for about 15 minutes in silent reflection on the death of their mother, keeping her company, as our grandchildren will do tomorrow evening. this building is a remarkable thing at westminster, it is the last surviving piece of the original parliament, westminster great all was erected as a banqueting suite almost 1000 years ago and has seen some of the great events of history, indeed oliver cromwell�*s head was left hanging for years outside the building after the restoration of the monarchy. the events, however, that are in some ways dwarfed by what is going on today, as this tribute continues, as it will do through out the weekend, to the early hours of monday morning, when the formal ceremonies for the queen's funeral will begin. that is

the picture inside westminster hall, we will be back here in just a few minutes' time. do stay with us on bbc news. shaun, thanks very much indeed. let's took a look at other news. and the authorities in ukraine say they've found a large burial site containing more than 400 graves in a city recently recaptured from russian forces. ukrainian officials say most of graves contain the remains of civilians but there were also some soldiers with their hands bound. they were discovered in izyum in the east of the country, which the russians used as a logistics hub for their war effort. ukraine says all the bodies will be exhumed and sent for forensic examination. speaking of the discovery, president zelensky said, "russia leaves death everywhere." our senior international correspondent, orla guerin, sent this report from izyum. some of the images you may find distressing. under the pine trees of izyum, a war

crimes investigation. this burial site has more than 400 graves, now being examined. the earth starting to give up its secrets. but the prosecutor already claiming russia is responsible for almost all of the dead. "according to our data, almost everyone died because of russian soldiers," says this man. "some were killed, some were tortured, and some were hit in russian air and artillery strikes." he says the very first grave they opened contained the body of a civilian with a rope around his neck. this knife was recovered from the remains of a soldier. a senior official told us more than 20 troops were found in a single grave with signs of torture. some had their hands bound.

for those at the scene, it was hard to take. this is a distressing sight, but ukraine is determined that the world should see it. graves are being opened here one by one. it is only now, after the russians have been pushed out, that the authorities can really investigate and can establish how many victims they left behind. they were buried here in makeshift graves, many marked only with a number. among them, a 65—year—old called lyudmila, who was killed in march in heavy russian shelling. her husband tells me he had to bury her in the yard. she was brought here in august. now her remains will be disturbed again.

"she was beloved," he says. "we have no children, god didn't give us that gift." "but we were in love." emergency service workers, drained by their labours. we can't be sure what killed all of those buried here, but they expect to be digging at more sites like this in areas recently taken back from the russians. orla guerin, bbc news. india's prime minister, narendra modi, has told the russian leader, vladimir putin, that "now is not the time for war". the two men have held face—to—face talks in uzbekistan on the sidelines of a regional summit. mr modi stressed the importance of democracy, diplomacy and dialogue. the russian leader responded that moscow was doing everything it could to bring the conflict to an end.

translation: i know about your stance on the conflict in ukraine. | i know about the concerns you voice constantly. we will do everything for it to stop as soon as possible. unfortunately, the leadership of our opponents, ukraine, have stated they refused to hold talks and that they want to reach their goals militarily or, as they say, on the battlefield. well, let's take a look at some of the other stories making the news, and officials from tajikistan and kyrgyzstan have both blamed each other for clashes on their disputed border that left around 30 dead or injured. both countries accuse each other of using heavy weaponry to she“ other of using heavy weaponry to shell homes and infrastructure. at least ten people have died in italy after heavy rains and flooding hit the central region. search operations are now under way for four people are still missing. about 40 centimetres of rain fell in three

hours, a third of the rainfall usually received in a year. emergency teams in china have been tackling a fire at a skyscraper, picture show it took hold of the building which housed a company owned by the state—owned company china telecom. officials say they have no idea if there are any casualties yet. let me just take you back to westminster hall, where the late queen elizabeth's four children are due in a few minutes' time to stand vigil around her coffin. as you can see, of course, members of the public will want to pay their respects are still filing through. wait know that earlier today due was, in fact, wait know that earlier today due was, infact, closed wait know that earlier today due was, in fact, closed to members of the public briefly because it had become so long, about 24 hours long, five kilometres snaking through

london, so people have had a very long wait. many people from london and the south, but also across the uk and across the world coming to pay their respects to her majesty the queen. well, we are going to be bringing you special coverage as we await that vigil, the royal vigil, and members of the public still queueing, but in the next half an hour, the four children of the queen, king charles, the princess royal, the duke of york and the earl of wessex, will all stand vigil around the coffin. that is called the vigil of the princes, and all four royals will be in ceremonial military uniform, accompanying the coffin for about 15 minutes. and tomorrow, saturday evening, the

queen's eight grandchildren are expected to do the same. you can see the scale of the crowds there. i was there when the chewing process started early in the week, and the mood is still very warm, it is respectful, and it is extraordinary to see so many people, hundreds and hundreds of people, there have been thousands gathering of course, but in a quiet murmur of conversation. a lot of camaraderie, the mood tends to change, of course, as people get closer to the actual site that they are waiting to see very, very patiently. so it has been an extraordinary site for everyone to witness in london. we will be bringing you continued coverage of events. stay with us on bbc news.

more than a week has passed since the death of her majesty the queen, and it is here within the palace of westminster that she has been lying in state since

wednesday afternoon. many thousands of people have been filing past to pay their respects and it is here that she will remain — until monday morning — when her funeral will take place at westminster abbey. this morning, king charles and camilla, the queen consort, attended a service of thanksgiving at llandaff cathedral in wales, where they met members of the public. the king then made an "unprecedented" address to the senedd, followed by a private audience with welsh first minister mark drakeford. they are due to leave buckingham palace any moment, on their way to the houses of parliament and enter the great ancient hall where the queen has been resting.

it has been an overwhelming and moving experience for many, and indeed for people watching at home. her majesty's four children will stand vigil together, beside her coffin, and remain there in silence. amid all the ceremony of this time, all the duties the king has been performing, this will be a moment for stillness and peaceful reflection. a personal moment for him, the princess royal, the duke of york and the earl of wessex, who lost their mother eight days ago.
