6:08 am
westminster hall, at that particular time, that they would see the children of queen elizabeth gathered around her coffin stop a real reminder that this is a family grieving, and having to grieve in public in the full view of the public, the media, the world's media, all eyes are on london and what is happening here. so they are going through all these procedures for the monarch, but also having to remember their mother. 50 it for the monarch, but also having to remember their mother. so it was 15 minutes that — remember their mother. so it was 15 minutes that they _ remember their mother. so it was 15 minutes that they stood _ remember their mother. so it was 15 minutes that they stood around - minutes that they stood around her majesty, and then just looking ahead to this evening, that scene is going to be replicated, but this time with the queen's grandchildren? yes. to be replicated, but this time with the queen's grandchildren? yes, all eiuht of the queen's grandchildren? yes, all eight of the — the queen's grandchildren? yes, all eight of the grandchildren _ the queen's grandchildren? yes, all eight of the grandchildren will - the queen's grandchildren? yes, all eight of the grandchildren will be i eight of the grandchildren will be standing vigil around the queen's, this evening, and obviously what a lot of people have talked about this week as prince harry and whether he would be allowed to wear his military uniform. we now know that king charles has decided he can wear his military uniform. essentially, when he gave up being a working
6:09 am
royal he lost those military titles, so he lost the right to wear the military uniform. but i think the royal family have reconsidered, especially after public reaction. there were a lot of people saying, why is he not being allowed to wear his uniform, given he has been on the front line in afghanistan, prince andrew was allowed to wear his uniform at the vigil last night. the royal family know they have made mistakes in the past with public opinion, so i think they have definitely considered that. they have probably also thought, what would be queen want? this was her grandson, she got on with him very well, they wouldn't have wanted what prince harry was wearing to overshadow the night's events. i know we are talking about it now, but i think if this had continued into the evening and dress, i think it would have become a bigger story is taken away from the actual events of what is happening stop charlotte, dan johnson's piece a moment ago, he referenced an incident inside the hole which happened last night stop
6:10 am
of course, the reality is that tens, probably hundreds of thousands of people have already gone through, they have had their moment and every thing is working smoothly, the security situation is remarkable here. , , , security situation is remarkable here. , , ., ~ ., here. just tell us what we know about that _ here. just tell us what we know about that one _ here. just tell us what we know about that one moment? - here. just tell us what we know about that one moment? late l here. just tell us what we know i about that one moment? late last night a man dressed in black rushed the queen's coffin, essentially, and he was stopped by security services inside westminster hall, and we know, obviously, there are soldiers guarding the queen's coffin. there was never really a real risk, because of all that security inside the building, but of course was very shocking. the people watching on the live stream, and also for the crowds of people waiting inside to take their turn by the queen's coffin, and pay their respects, quite shocking, quite a horrible moment for many people, seeing that happen right in front of them when it is meant to be a really sombre emotional occasion. let's look ahead. what do we know of official engagements today, in terms of the royal family. what will they be

6:12 am
yes, there is going to be able dress rehearsal taking place today for the funeral. i was at buckingham palace earlier this week, they were rehearsing some of the events there as well. you could hear the military bands playing in the distance. i think people either going to watch this on television will be out in the crowds watching it, and it is going to be a really memorable occasion, like nothing most of us will ever have seen before. we have not seen this for 70 years.— will ever have seen before. we have not seen this for 70 years. when you see these images, _ not seen this for 70 years. when you see these images, obviously - not seen this for 70 years. when you see these images, obviously this i not seen this for 70 years. when you see these images, obviously this is l see these images, obviously this is in the middle of the night, itjust reminds you of the scale of the operation, the meticulousness of the planning, timing, and of course, given the numbers of heads of state, all that matters enormously. essen all that matters enormously. even their feet are _ all that matters enormously. even their feet are in _ all that matters enormously. eve“! their feet are in synchronicity. it is unbelievable, when you see, when you watch it. this has been planned notjust you watch it. this has been planned not just for years, you watch it. this has been planned notjust for years, but you watch it. this has been planned not just for years, but for decades. the queen will have had a real say and herfuneral and what the queen will have had a real say and her funeral and what happened the queen will have had a real say and herfuneral and what happened in herfuneral but it

and herfuneral and what happened in her funeral but it has to be completely perfect. everybody taking part in this know is that millions, possibly billions of people will be watching this funeral, and i think the soldiers, the military personnel taking part, they want everything to be perfect. it is the biggest day of their career and they are honouring their former commander—in—chief. charlotte, thank you very much. we will be chatting to you throughout the morning this morning. stay warm, because it is quite chilly this morning. we will be speaking more about that with some of the people we have been queueing. the ones we have chatted to so far here say 12, 13 hours, but the warnings generally are that if you are joining the queue this morning, that could be a weight of 24 hours in the queue. more on that a bit later on. people heading to london have been told to prevent unprecedented demand on public transport is thousands of people travel to the capital to pay their to the queen. jayne mccubbin has been to meet some of those making the trip. this is an exit is. have we will be to the toilet? — this is an exit is. have we will be to the toilet? yes! _

6:18 am
underneath the tower they are wrapped in blankets this morning. it is have a look at the weather across the uk. the weather is looking pretty quiet. a lot of dry weather with spells of sunshine. we have some pretty chilly nights over the weekend over the next few days and it has been a cold start this morning. some patches of frost in areas. temperatures in manchester and glasgow hovering around two degrees. a cold start already. clear skies under this area of high pressure but around the coastal areas running into northern scotland and down the north seacoast, a few showers being brought in and the showers will continue on and off through much of the day. the shell not too heavy for most part, that could be one or two as we go through the morning and afternoon. away from the coastal areas, plenty sunshine initially. a little bit of cloud in the afternoon but it stays dry with some long
6:19 am
spells of sunshine. our temperatures today reaching around 14 in glasgow, 15 belfast, the high teens across other parts of england and wales. 17 or 18 for cardiff and london. for the queen's lying in state, or those planning a visit to london, the weather looks like it will stay largely dry, although it could be the shell moving in for a time as we head into sunday. saturday night we see a few more showers coming and going across northern scotland. you might find one or two mist and fog patches across the north of the uk as well, but a cold night with temperatures into single figures. in rural areas it will be cold, temperatures down to one or two degrees in the coldest areas. sunday morning, a bright enough start, mist and fog patches will lift and we will see sunshine coming out. a little bit of cloud across parts of scotland and northern england, and the greater chance of a few showers coming down the north sea and parts of eastern england, east anglia,
6:20 am
maybe a passing shower. temperatures not changing much, 16 to 18 degrees for most. high—pressure stays with us next week but these weather fronts move in from the atlantic to affect north—western parts of the uk. on monday, a largely dry picture but a bit more cloud across the north—west of the uk, thick enough to bring showers across parts of the hebrides, scotland, perhaps into galloway and cumbria as well, but otherwise it is dry. gemma does around 16 to 18 degrees, a little warmerfor around 16 to 18 degrees, a little warmer for southern wales, 19 there. for the week ahead it turns windy across the north—west of the country and eventually the stronger wind will start to bring in a bit of rain of the atlantic. that is how the weather is looking. we'll have more from charlie and the team in westminster throughout the morning. now, let's take a look at some of the day's other news. large numbers of graves are being exhumed at a site
6:21 am
in ukraine which was recently recaptured from russian forces. officials say they've found more than 400 graves containing civilians, and around 20 soldiers, who are said to have been tortured. they were discovered in the eastern city of izyum, which the russians captured in april. ukraine says the bodies will be sent for forensic examination to establish the causes of death and document potential war crimes. two police officers are being treated in hospital after they were stabbed in central london early yesterday morning. the suspect is now in police custody. our correspondent simonjones is at new scotland yard. simon, the metropolitan police have described this as a "very concerning" attack. what do we know? it was around this time yesterday morning that two officers were on patrol in leicester square in central london when they spotted a man who had a knife. they tried to detain that man but at that point a female officer was stabbed in the arm. she has suffered what i being
6:22 am
described as potentially life changing injuries, a male officer them pursue the suspect. he was stabbed three times in the neck and also in the chest. he has been taken to hospital and is expected to make a full recovery. other officers arrived on the scene and eventually the suspect was detained after a taser was used. it is in his 20s, he was initially taken to hospital but he has now been released back into police custody questioning. he has been arrested on suspicion of grievous bodily harm and assaulting an emergency worker. the met police are praising the courage of the two officers who were injured and they say it really shows the dangers that officers can face on a daily basis when they go out in the line of duty. i think this also shows how policing here in london on a day—to—day basis is continuing. we are told that stabbing is not believed to be terell eight or
6:23 am
related to any events in the run—up to queen's funeral, but this is a huge police operation under way here in london, everywhere you look around the streets here you say police officers and police vehicles. the met described the operation in the run—up to the queen's funeral as the run—up to the queen's funeral as the biggest they have ever had to deal with, you have vips flying in from around the world, their security needs protecting, and you also have a huge number of people coming to the capital to join the curious or wanting to see part of the funeral. though it is going to be a challenging time at officers from around the country being brought in to bolster numbers. sim brought in to bolster numbers. sun with the latest from central london, thank you. —— simon. the police watchdog, the iopc, says it will investigate whether race was a factor in the fatal shooting of a unarmed black man. chris kaba, who was 24, was killed after a police car chase in south london earlier this month. the firearms officers who shot him has been suspended from duty. his family has accused the metropolitan police of racism. train drivers will resume
6:24 am
their strikes next month after planned action for this week was postponed following the queen's death. drivers from 12 rail companies are now expected to stage two walkouts — on october1 and 5 — in their long—running dispute over pay. the union aslef says it will confirm more about the plans after the queen's funeral. friends and colleagues of former bbc breakfast presenter bill turnbull have been paying tribute to him at his funeral service in suffolk. bill, who presented here on breakfast for 15 years, was diagnosed with prostate cancer in 2018 and died in august, aged 66. he has been praised for raising awareness of the symptoms of the disease and encouraging men to get checked. there's growing concern the government's plan to cap household energy bills will not be enough to help the most vulnerable. average bills will be capped at £2,500 from october for two years, with businesses getting help for six months. stuart whincup reports.

6:45 am
not to join because the timings they say now after 2a hours for queueing. so if people are joining say now after 2a hours for queueing. so if people arejoining now. so maybe later on we will see some of the images of the queue. that shot there, you can see across the river, you can't quite make it out from here but you just see that you have people disappearing into the distance along the thames and right across streets and all the way, a15 now is —— a.5 miles. since the queue started, you can see the wide shot there, it really gives you a sense of the scale of what is going on. but one thing that hasn't changed throughout, it may have been longer or shorter, throughout, it may have been longer orshorter, but throughout, it may have been longer or shorter, but the atmosphere has been the same. everyone has been helping each other. there have been ambulances and volunteers all the way down the line so people are being well looked after and it has been quite something to behold. as we see the sum coming up again over
6:46 am
london, it will look absolutely stunning. looking at the weather, chris has the hello, the weather this weekend is looking pretty quiet. a lot of dry weather with some spells of sunshine. we have some pretty cold nights over the weekend over the next few days and it has been a cold start this morning. some patches of frosting areas. it has been a cold start already was not clear skies underneath this area of high pressure at around some coastal areas running into northern scotland and down the north seacoast we have and down the north seacoast we have a few showers being brought in. those showers will continue on and off through much of the day. showers will not be too heavy for the most part but they could be one or two as we go through the and the afternoon. away from the coastal areas, plenty of sunshine initially. a little bit
6:47 am
of sunshine initially. a little bit of cloud bubbling up in the afternoon but it stays dry with some long spells of sunshine. our temperatures reaching around 1a in glasgow, 15 from belfast. the high teens across southern parts of england and wales. for the queen's lying on stage, for those planning a visit to london, the weather looks like it will stay largely dry although a couple of light showers moving in for a time as we head into sunday. saturday night we will see a few more showers coming and going across northern scotland. you might find one or two mist and fog patches forming across the north of the uk as well, but a cold night with temperatures down into single figures. in rural areas it will be quite cold, one or two degrees in the coldest areas. sunday morning, a bright enough start, any mist and fog will lift and sunshine coming out. perhaps a bit more cloud bringing showers across scotland and northern england and a greater chance of a few hours coming down
6:48 am
the north see across parts of england, so east anglia, may be an odd passing of light showers. temperatures not really changing much, 16 to 18 degrees to most. the high—pressure stays with us next week but the weather fronts will move in from the aromatic to affect north—western parts of the uk. weatherwise, on monday i largely dry picture again but a bit more cloud across the north—west of the uk, a few showers across parts of the hebrides, maybe scotland and into galloway in cumbria as well. otherwise it is dry, temperatures around 16 to 18 degrees, a little warmerfor around 16 to 18 degrees, a little warmer for southern wales, 19 there. for the week ahead, a bit windy across the north—west of the country and eventually those stronger winds will bring a bit of rain off the atlantic. that is how the weather is looking. looking clear and warm enough for the queen's funeral in the capital on monday. wasn't it lovely hearing
6:49 am
those stories from people in the queue, sharing blankets and coffee to keep 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. large numbers of graves are being exhumed at a site in ukraine, which was recently recaptured from russian forces. officials near the eastern city of izyum are trying to establish the causes of death, so they can document potential war crimes. orla guerin, has sent this report from izyum, and a warning — it contains some distressing images. under the pine trees of izyum, a war crimes investigation. this burial site has more than a00 graves, now being exhumed. the earth starting to give up its secrets. but the prosecutor here already claiming that russia is responsible for almost all of the dead.

in the world, from the smallest islands to the largest area on our planet. she isjust the only one, our queen. and that, to me, fills me with immense pride. meanwhile, the queue kept snaking through the night. everybody has remarked on how well—organised things have been and what a nice, positive, friendly attitude there is among the crowd. the temperature is dropping and the wait times are now up as much as 2a hours, but i don't get the sense anybody is going to be giving up. the day started with a visit to wales. the last piece of our national jigsaw for the new king's tour, his first time here as monarch,
7:04 am
though as prince of wales for so long, he is closely associated with this land and its people. while the majority cheered, there were some jeers. crowd boos. but the king acutely aware of the distinct identity here, including the welsh language. through all the years of her reign, the land of wales could not have been closer to my mother's heart. roedd lle arbennig i gymru yn ei chalon. the new prince and princess of wales were meeting new zealand troops and others from the commonwealth, who will be taking part in monday's state funeral — the militaries busy making sure everyone is in step. around a000 armed forces personnel will be involved.
7:05 am
she is, she has been, the integral part of the armed forces. and for me, just to pay one small bit of respect by doing this duty, i can't measure how prideful i feel about that, how humble to have the opportunity to do that. last night a man was arrested in westminster hall after a disturbance a couple of hours after the royals left. there are reports he ran forward and touched the queen's coffin. this has been a place of quiet calm and focused thoughts, from so many who have stepped up on behalf of their country in bad times or in good. david beckham queued for 12 hours, and he picked up on the sense of generational change felt by so many here. i grew up in a family that were all royalists.
7:06 am
i think back to my grandparents, because if my grandparents were alive, they would have been here, so it's nice to be here to celebrate with everybody, you know, the life of her majesty and the legacy that she has left. the king's vigil lasted just a few solemn minutes. the new monarch watching over the old, a son's silent tribute. and this evening, the queen's grandchildren will take their turn here, standing guard in protection and in mourning. danjohnson, bbc news, westminster. i'm joined now by charlotte gallagher. very good morning to you, charlotte. those moments, and we have had many already, they are some of the most

7:39 am
total, around 4000 soldiers, sailors and aircrew will be involved, about 3000 in central london and a thousand here, so feeding them will be a mammoth task. i spoke to one of the ships earlier this morning, lance corporal carl constance from the royal logistics score. a few years ago he cooked the queen had he told me that was a great honour. quite a few years ago, so, there was a function within the military and it was a very honourable experience, we had compliments come back from one of the waiters, from her majesty the queen. i can't remember the exact details of the dishes we sent out that night because i have done a vast amount of functions. but it was very honouring to do the actual function itself.— very honouring to do the actual function itself. , ., ,. , function itself. very moving scenes overni . ht, function itself. very moving scenes overnight. it _ function itself. very moving scenes overnight, it gives _ function itself. very moving scenes overnight, it gives you _ function itself. very moving scenes overnight, it gives you a _ function itself. very moving scenes overnight, it gives you a real- function itself. very moving scenes overnight, it gives you a real idea i overnight, it gives you a real idea of what things will look like on monday afternoon as the hearse comes down the long walk, guards
7:40 am
surrounding the hearse as it makes that slow journey, surrounding the hearse as it makes that slowjourney, you can see from the barriers the screens are up as well. they will be expecting a large turnout, people coming on monday afternoon to pay their own personal respect to her majesty. going up to the gates of windsor castle and through the estate into the castle itself. there will be a guard of honour throughout, as the hearse was driving through this morning. this is what will happen on monday afternoon, the personnel lining the route will bow their heads as the procession goes past. pipes and drums in military bands will be playing, but they will be moments at which they will not be and i can only imagine what the atmosphere will be like here on monday, perhaps a good chance to get a closer view. london will obviously be extremely busy, it is going to be busy here as
7:41 am
well, but more space, obviously, when you consider the long walk. that is what will be happening here on monday afternoon, the culmination of proceedings, the committal will take place in st. george's chapel weapons philip was laid to rest last year. that is where his wife, her majesty the queen, will follow suit on monday. cold for everybody rehearsing last night, we have seen people coming and laying flowers and taking photos again, as i say, it is pretty brisk, but blue skies overnight. what is the forecast now for the next couple of days? chris fawkes will tell us. the weather this weekend is looking pretty quiet. lots of dry weather with spells of sunshine. we have some pretty chilly nights over the weekend, over the next few days, and it has certainly been a cold start this morning. patches of frost in cumbria, temperatures in manchester and glasgow hovering around two
7:42 am
celsius. we have got a clear skies under this area of high pressure, but around some of the coastal areas into northern scotland and down the north sea coast, those showers will continue on and off through much of the day, the showers will not be too heavy for the most part, one or two as we go through the afternoon. away from those coastal areas, plenty of sunshine initially, we will see cloud bubbling up into the afternoon, but it stays dry with long spells of sunshine. our temperatures today, reaching around 14 in glasgow, 15th belfast, into the high teens across southern parts of both england and wales, so around 17 or 18 for cardiff and london. and for the queen's lying in state, for those planning a visit to london, the weather looks like it should stay largely dry, although there could be an odd shower moving in for a time as we head on into sunday. now, saturday night time, we will see a few more of those showers coming and going across northern
7:43 am
scotland, you might find a few patches of mist and fog forming across the uk as well. otherwise it is a chilly night, temperatures getting down to single figures, and in rural areas it will be quite cold, temperatures down to one or two. sunday morning, a bright enough start, early morning mist and fog patches lifting and then we will see sunshine coming out, perhaps a little bit more cloud bringing a few showers across parts of scotland, northern england, and i think there is a greater chance of a future was coming down the north sea, and across parts of eastern england, east anglia, maybe some parts of eastern england seeing the passing shower. temperatures not changing too much, into next week the high pressure begins —— stays with us but these systems will moving off the atlantic to effects of the uk. weatherwise, on monday, largely dry picture. a bit more cloud across the north—west of the uk, thick enough to bring showers and across parts of the hebrides, maybe highland
7:44 am
scotland, and perhaps into dumfries and galloway in cumbria as well. otherwise it is dry. temperatures about 16—18, so turning a bit warm of the southern wales, 19 celsius, it was so windy across the north—west of the country for the weekend and eventually those stronger winds will start to bring in a little bit of rain of the atlantic. and that is how the weather is looking. thank you, chris. a clear run between now and the funeral for those waiting patiently in the queue in the capital. we will rejoin charlie and the team in westminster shortly, and we will be back with johnin shortly, and we will be back with john in winds are as well. for now, at 7:45 a.m., look at the day's other news. large numbers of graves are being exhumed at a site in ukraine which was recently recaptured from russian forces. officials say they've found more than 400 graves containing civilians and around 20 soldiers, who are said to have been tortured. they were discovered in the eastern city of izyum, which the russian's captured in april. ukraine says the bodies will be sent for forensic examination to establish the causes of death

8:02 am
palace saying that overnight, some 12 or 13 hours they have been queueing. the official advice this morning is that if you are joining the queue today, which people are being advised not to, you will have a wait of up to 2a hours, so that gives you a sense ofjust what it is like for those people wanting to pay their respects. king's guard strikes floor three times. the sound that signals the change of watch called forward the four people who know best the queen's life and character. her children charles, anne, edward and andrew. all of them in uniform, taking their place in silent vigil, lasting almost 15 minutes.

8:04 am
the temperature is dropping and the wait times are now up as much as 2a hours, but i don't get the sense anybody is going to be giving up. the day started with a visit to wales. the last piece of our national jigsaw for the new king's tour, his first time here as monarch, though as prince of wales for so long, he is closely associated with this land and its people. while the majority cheered, there were some jeers. crowd boos. but the king acutely aware of the distinct identity here, including the welsh language. through all the years of her reign, the land of wales could not have been closer to my mother's heart. roedd lle arbennig

8:15 am
when she goes down to visit she knows the names of the wives, the children, she recognises people she has seen over time. it is a very personal connection and it is the same for all of the royal family. of course, many of them have served. his majesty is colonel in chief of the parachute regiment and has earned his wings.— the parachute regiment and has earned his wings. maybe we could show an image — earned his wings. maybe we could show an image just _ earned his wings. maybe we could show an image just as _ earned his wings. maybe we could show an image just as we - earned his wings. maybe we could show an image just as we are - show an image just as we are chatting of the cues that are here. do you get a chance to talk to people, get a sense of the atmosphere alongside all the formal rules that you have to perform? i was chatting as i was waiting to come on to the people in the queue, the same last night after we came off the vigil. as we came out people said thank you for your service. it felt like we should be thanking them. people have put 11! or 15 hours in. my sense is people are tired and it has been chilly overnight and
8:16 am

8:17 am
in sandbach service station on the m6, we go in search of those in a pilgrimage, and we find leslie. there's only 2,000 people going to the funeral, and you will be one of the 2,000? i can't believe it, i've been invited. it's still in a bit of shock. i was on the way back from ikea on sunday and all of a sudden i get this call from the cabinet office, in the car, saying that in recognition of my recent award of mbe — because i hadn't been invested yet, didn't go to an investiture — would i like to attend the funeral, on the 19th? and ijust can't believe it, to be honest with you. i'm just absolutely blown away. in rugby, the richmond family have taken the kids out of school early to drive to london to lay flowers for the queen. you're ready to go, aren't you? this is our rainbow that we made, isn't it, for the queen? yes... willow was quite affected by it.

8:22 am
her coronation, she ordered that the corporate in which she walked down the aisle from westminster abbey big cats and a piece connection to the queen. inside the church, her coat of arms hangs on the wall and later, in 1953 during her coronation, she ordered that the corporate in which she walked down the aisle from westminster abbey be cut and paste into this church, so they display it to the visitors, so there is a special connection. they are here to remember her and honour her. it is so interesting _ remember her and honour her. it is so interesting here includes details. what about looking forward to monday and the funeral itself? how will things be remembered there? well, not too far from here there is a british military base and there are events that are planned there. they will be following the events that will be going on in london and we willjoin the troops there as they honour the queen. we will join the troops there as they honour the queen.- we will join the troops there as they honour the queen. thank you very much- — they honour the queen. thank you very much- we _ they honour the queen. thank you

8:24 am
queen and just hearing what that meant. we have seen people walking past and those heads above the armed forces were amongst those who stood for 15 or 20 minutes, half an hour. we saw last night that the queen's children were taking part in that ceremony, having a moment themselves. that again will happen today. saturday evening the queen's grandchildren will also there. we have had beautiful sunshine here in westminster. those people who have been queueing overnight, clear skies, it has been cold and still is this morning, but it is a beautiful day in london. chris has the details of the rest of the uk. the nights will be quite chilly. we start off this morning with some frost patches
8:25 am
around. in some eastern coastal areas of england there will be a few showers running in from time to time, but away from the coast there will be a lot of dry and sunny weather. a bit of fair weather cloud bubbling up for a time this afternoon. temperatures ranging from 14 afternoon. temperatures ranging from 1a in aberdeen to 17 or 18 in london and cardiff, and for the queen's lying in state it will be dry, with the odd chance of a passing shower as we head into sunday afternoon. looking at the weather picture, saturday night, a few more showers in northern scotland but otherwise it will be dry. it is a cold night with temperatures dipping down to roundabout 7—9 in a lot of the towns and cities, but in rural areas it will be 1—2 c. for sunday, any mist and fog patches lifting in the morning. a few showers around, the greatest threats of those in eastern england. that is the latest.
8:26 am
for now, let's get an update on the rest of the day's use. large numbers of graves are being exhumed at a site in ukraine which was recently recaptured from russian forces. officials near izyum are trying to establish the causes of death, so they can document potential war crimes. our correspondent hugo bachega is in kyiv. investigators are returning to the sites outside the city of izyum, this mass burial site, where they believe more than 440 bodies have been buried. yesterday, the first bodies were exhumed. they save most of the people were civilians and they had signs of torture, some of them. others have died because of
8:27 am
russian shelling and air strikes. officials say that in one grave they found around 20 bodies of ukrainian soldiers. it will be a very long process of trying to identify those victims and gather evidence. president zelensky said that the russians had repeated in the izyum what they did in butcher. last night, the ukrainian foreign minister said that this scenes in the izyum are proof of russian war crimes and he said the country needed more weapons to take back territories and save lives. mam; territories and save lives. many thanks. two police officers are being treated in hospital, after they were stabbed in central london early yesterday morning. the suspect has been arrested and is now in police custody. the stabbing took place near leicester square and police say it is not related to the queen's death or terror—related. train drivers will resume their strikes next month
8:28 am
after planned action for this week was postponed following the queen's death. drivers from 12 rail companies are now expected to stage two walk—outs, on 1st and 5th of october, in their long—running dispute over pay. the union aslef says it will confirm more about the plans after the queen's funeral. with the passing of the queen, horse racing has been said to have "lost its best friend". the sport was one of the queen's greatest passions. her horse estimate won the gold cup at royal ascot in 2013, the highlight of a life—long connection with horse racing which saw more than 1,800 winners in the royal colours. after working closely with the queen as her racing and bloodstock advisor for more than two decades, there were very few people outside of the royal household who knew her majesty as well asjohn warren. she was so clear—thinking, she was a tremendous listener and always got to the punchline and she was able to see the best in people and she was very pragmatic.
8:29 am
the queen spoke tojohn warren several times a week and was with him at balmoral the weekend before she passed away. it is comforting to know that right at the end of her life, with all her family around coming and going, and being able to talk horses right till the end, was a very important memory i will have of the queen. that in a way is the most comforting thing for people to know, that the queen was in a really happy, good place to the very end, which is how extraordinary to live a lovely, incredible, long, full life right till the very, very end. quite remarkable. as the son—in—law to the queen's former racing manager lord porchester, john warren is long established in the royal racing family, but since taking over in 2001, he guided her majesty to some of her most memorable successes, including the ascot gold cup—winning filly
8:30 am
estimate, whom she bred. the memory that will stay with me forever is the queen's eyes welling up with tears and the emotion in her face was something that even knowing her for nearly 40 years, that i had never seen that emotion so relevant and that was such a joyful occasion. and then at 87, i think the queen was, she nearly ran down to the winning enclosure, i have never seen her more animated and her adrenaline took over and we got down from the stands and went out into the paddock and the crowd were quite remarkable. they lifted the queen to the winning enclosure. over her lifetime, the queen bred and owned more than 1000 winners, but it is clear she loved the taking partjust as much as the winning.
8:31 am
the queen adored naming her horses and being as intellectual as she was, she would spend a lot of her spare time working out the name of the sire and the name of the dam and trying to find a clever name for the horse that related to how it was bred. it is too early to discuss royal racing succession. the queen consort camilla has been mooted as the obvious option, but for now, the sport is still coming to terms with the loss of what many have called racing's best friend. lizzie greenwood—hughes, bbc news. i'll be back with more news and sport later. now it's back to charlie in westminster. good morning. we have been hearing some wonderful tributes and reflections from around the uk and indeed the world, but for the people

8:39 am
it is 24 hours. a lot of smiles and you can see people are happy to be at near the end. let's look at some of the preparations for what will be happening across the weekend and into monday. helen has more details. this was the da the helen has more details. this was the day the people _ helen has more details. this was the day the people of— helen has more details. this was the day the people of windsor _ helen has more details. this was the day the people of windsor were - day the people of windsor were formally told they had a new monarch. but the queen's special relationship with this town began before she came to the throne. in wishing you all good evening, i feel that i am speaking to friends and companions. when she was 14, she made herfirst address from windsor castle to children during the second world war. she was involved in other formal duties from a young age. but it was at windsor great park
8:40 am
where she found freedom and where her love for the countryside grew. it was where she learned to ride. her majesty's left an amazing legacy across the park. paul sedgwick is a deputy ranger of windsor great park, and knew the queen well. i think at that time, there was great freedom to ride around on her horse, or her pony, exploring the great expanses of the park, the ancient trees, the parkland. in 1952, the queen made her husband, prince philip, park ranger. together they helped protect and preserve the park. the avenues, the trees, the reintroduction of the red deer, the expansion of the gardens, the formal gardens, continues nearly 1,000 years of royal patronage at windsor. we know that the queen loved windsor great park. tell us, then, what it was about these gardens
8:41 am
that she loved so much? we're in the goldenjubilee garden, at the savill garden, which her majesty opened injuly 2002. it is one of three main gardens at windsor — the valley gardens, the savill garden and frogmore garden. coming out to the gardens, at windsor, during covid, when her majesty was at residence in the castle, every friday morning we would send a fresh bouquet of flowers from one of the three gardens, to windsor castle, for the queen. the queen's legacy is all around the park, and in the town of windsor, too, her presence is felt. from the windsor ladies statue of queen elizabeth with her corgis, to one of two windsor greys who draw carriages on state occasions, from the queen's walkway self—guided tour, taking in the windsor guildhall and its magnificent portraits, to the books of condolence
8:42 am
in the town's churches. at the king george vi centre, opened by the queen in 1958, they remember her last visit five years ago. royalty is, you know, it's special, to everybody throughout the world. and it's been a real honour to have lived here. so it was the queen who made us come to windsor, and we've been happy here through all these years, you know. so thank you, queen! here they feel a sense of pride. their pride is shared in and around this town. sayonara luxton is the former mayor of windsor. what did windsor mean to the queen, and how special was that connection with her? the queen was the pillar of windsor. for the people of windsor, there
8:43 am
was nothing else but the queen. she was the pillar of windsor. she brought the community together, she brought us all together. we had a meaning. it was so special to have her, to be here in the borough with her. where else more would you want to be in the world other than in this area? windsor will be the queen's final resting place. on monday, the world will watch as a state hearse makes its way along the long walk up to the castle, one finaljourney. for people who live in this town, it will be a deeply personal moment, saying goodbye to the queen, who was their neighbour, and part of their community. helena wilkinson, bbc news, windsor. we know over the next couple of days all sorts of important people from

"according to our data, almost everyone died "because of russian soldiers," says oleksandr.
8:52 am
"some were killed, some were tortured, 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. almost all the dead here are said to be civilians, women and children among them. but a senior official told us there was one mass grave with more than 20 soldiers. some had their hands bound and bore signs of torture. 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's only now, after the russians have been pushed out, that the authorities can really investigate and can establish how
8:53 am
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 gregoriy tells me then 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 had no children. "god didn't give us that gift. "but we were in love." as the graves were exhumed, security forces were still eliminating threats with controlled detonations of russian mines.
8:54 am
maxim came to the burial site to tell his story and show the marks on his wrists and ankles where he was shackled. he says he was held by the russians for a week earlier this month and tortured with electric shocks. "they connected wires," he tells me. "you start shaking and trying to set yourself free. "i fell from my chair. "it was very painful. "i asked my cell—mates how long i was gone. "they said 40 minutes. "i think after 15 or 20 minutes, you pass out." as the day wore on, workers from the emergency services were drained by their labours.
8:55 am
but they expect to be digging at more sites like this in other areas recently taken back from the russians. orla guerin, bbc news, izyum. two police officers are being treated in hospital, after they were stabbed in central london early yesterday morning. the suspect has been arrested and is now in police custody. the stabbing took place near leicester square and police say it is not related to the queen's death or terror—related. train drivers will resume their strikes next month, after planned action for this week was postponed following the queen's death. drivers from 12 rail companies are now expected to stage two walk—outs — on 1st and 5th of october — in their long—running dispute over pay. the union aslef says it will confirm more about the plans after the queen's funeral. in sport, premier league football resumed last night, having been suspended
8:56 am
following the death of the queen. there was a minute's silence, and the national anthem was sung before matches at aston villa and at nottingham forest. in the 70th minute of both games, the crowds applauded to acknowledge the queen's 70 years on the throne. aston villa won forjust the second time this season. jacob ramsey scored in a 1—0 win over southampton. we have played better, that is the reality, and sometimes in football you have to do the ugly work, grinding, be committed. we showed a lot of fight today and we limited them to zero shots on target, so we definitely got half a game right. we will get better in terms of style and possession and pretty stuff, that will come, but what at the moment is important is points. nottingham forest have now lost four premier league games in a row with fulham winning 3—2 at the city ground.
8:57 am
harrison reed scored the third to secure the points. there are three games later today, starting with manchester city at wolves. the women's super league also got back under way. arsenal beat brighton 4—0. england's beth mead, who wasjoint top—scorer at euro 2022, scored twice in a comfortable win. manchester united's campaign gets under way at midday when they host reading. great britain's hopes of qualifying for the knockout stages of the davis cup are over after they were beaten by the netherlands. it all came down to the final doubles match. with andy murray and joe salisbury defeated, they can't now qualify for the finals. the leeds rhinos are through to rugby league's grand final with a 20—8 victory over wigan. they will play the winner of today's second semifinal between salford and st helens. let's return it to tributes to the
8:58 am
queen. the queen's lifelong love of horses is well documented, but she also owned a lot of rocking horses. charlie rose has been to visit a family business in kent where they've made several rocking horses for her majesty, including one for the platinumjubilee. she was just a young princess when her love of horses began. this photo was taken in the nursery with her younger sister margaret in 1932, and it was a passion that grew. the celebration of her 18th birthday brings forth the sincere good wishes of the peoples of the british commonwealth of nations. over the years, this family business in kent made seven rocking horses for the late queen elizabeth, the lastjust a few months ago for her platinum jubilee. "we're upholding a rocking horse makers' tradition, we've got to do one, it's a jubilee horse, it's yourjubilee," and she was absolutely thrilled with it. and after that, she said — we went around and we said
8:59 am
what we're about, and she said, "yes, i know a bit about you," and she said, "would you like to meet the real horses?" so we went around the yard, we had a little brown paper bag with carrots in, and met all her real horses, which was a wonderful honour and pleasure to do. her love of horses extended to breeding ponies and owning racehorses. and she never missed an opportunity to share her passion. on a visit to the uk, former american president ronald reagan accompanied her majesty riding around the grounds at windsor. back in kent, the stevenson brothers have been making rocking horses for 40 years, and met the late queen on numerous occasions. her knowledge of horses and breeding is absolutely incredible. i mean, you just... you get her onto racehorses and... wow! amazing — amazing. the last horse we made was the last racehorse that her mother, the queen elizabeth — queen mother — bred, and it's based on a horse called barbershop. and the real barbershop came up to the presentation,
9:00 am
so she said, "gosh, this must be awesome to have had the real horse to copy! " and we said it absolutely was. from a young girl to a grandmother, horses brought greatjoy to the late queen who was still riding into her 90s. it was a lifelong passion that never diminished. that's all for this hour. the headlines are coming up. good morning. welcome to breakfast with charlie stayt in westminster and nina warhurst in the studio in salford. our headlines today... a tribute to their mother — the queen's four children led by king charles held a vigil beside her coffin in westminster hall.
9:01 am
it was a very emotional moment and that'sjust added to the whole afternoon, evening. unbelievable. the wait to see the queen lying in state is now at least 16 hours and there's a warning that the entry to the queue might be paused if it reaches capacity. military rehearsals have been taking place in windsor ahead of the queen's funeral on monday. away from westminster, today's other headlines... ukraine says hundreds of graves have been found outside izyum, a city that was recently regained from russian forces. the premier league returned with fans and players paying their own respects to the queen. it's saturday 17th september — you're watching bbc breakfast from westminster,
9:02 am
where her majesty the queen has spent a third night lying in state. king charles, the princess royal, prince andrew and prince edward have have held a silent vigil by their mother's coffin. the queen's eight grandchildren including princes william and harry will hold their own vigil later today. let's show you the images here in westminster of the queue this morning. many thousands of people queueing overnight in what would have been pretty cold temperatures to pay their tribute. we are told that queue times currently around 16 hours. so, that is the time for peoplejoining the queue hours. so, that is the time for people joining the queue this morning. those that we have chatted to him at westminster, they are about 45 minutes or an hour away from entering the hall itself. they have been telling us they have been
9:03 am
waiting for some 12 hours. just getting some refreshment there. the spirits are very high, and we will chatted some more of those who have made that long wait throughout the programme this morning. first, here is danjohnson on events overnight and into this morning. king's guard strikes floor three times. the sound that signals the change of watch called forward the four people who know best the queen's life and character. her children charles, anne, edward and andrew. all of them in uniform, taking their place in silent vigil, lasting almost 15 minutes. surreal, absolutely surreal. loads of respect, just so glad we waited 12 hours, just for that two or three minutes. amazing. and it wasn't just the queen's coffin, you got to see...
9:04 am
we did! how humbling is that? we got to see the whole family, absolutely amazing. a very emotional moment, and it just added to - the whole afternoon, evening. unbelievable. she is the only female we have ever had and will ever have on our planet that is known by everybody in the world, from the smallest islands to the largest area on our planet. she is just the only one, our queen. and that, to me, fills me with immense pride. meanwhile, the queue kept snaking through the night. everybody has remarked on how well—organised things have been and what a nice, positive, friendly attitude there is among the crowd. the temperature is dropping and the wait times are now up as much as 24 hours, but i don't get the sense anybody is going to be giving up.
9:05 am
the day started with a visit to wales. the last piece of our national jigsaw for the new king's tour, his first time here as monarch, though as prince of wales for so long, he is closely associated with this land and its people. while the majority cheered, there were some jeers. crowd boos. but the king is acutely aware of the distinct identity here, including the welsh language. through all the years of her reign, the land of wales could not have been closer to my mother's heart. roedd lle arbennig i gymru yn ei chalon. the new prince and princess of wales were meeting new zealand troops and others from the commonwealth, who will be taking part in monday's
9:06 am
state funeral — the militaries busy making sure everyone is in step. around 4,000 armed forces personnel will be involved. she is, she has been, the integral part of the armed forces. and for me, just to pay one small bit of respect by doing this duty, i can't measure how prideful i feel about that, how humble to have the opportunity to do that. last night a man was arrested in westminster hall after a disturbance a couple of hours after the royals left. there are reports he ran forward and touched the queen's coffin. this has been a place of quiet calm and focused thoughts, from so many who have stepped up on behalf of their country in bad times or in good. david beckham queued for 12 hours,
9:07 am
and he picked up on the sense of generational change felt by so many here. i grew up in a family that were all royalists. i think back to my grandparents, because if my grandparents were alive, they would have been here, so it's nice to be here to celebrate with everybody, you know, the life of her majesty and the legacy that she has left. the king's vigil lasted just a few solemn minutes. the new monarch watching over the old, a son's silent tribute. and this evening, the queen's grandchildren will take their turn here, standing guard in protection and in mourning. danjohnson, bbc news, westminster. i'm joined now

9:17 am
the weather is like for the rest of the uk with chris. the weather, we are starting up this morning with a few patches of rust around. some eastern and coastal areas of england, there will be a few showers running in from time to time, but away from coastal districts, essentially a lot of dry and sunny weather with a little bit of cloud bubbling up for a time as we head towards the early part of the afternoon. temperatures ranging from 14 in aberdeen to 17 or 18 for london and cardiff. the queen's lying—in—state, there are going to be some sunny spells today but the odd passing showerfor a time be some sunny spells today but the odd passing shower for a time as we head into sunday afternoon. looking at saturday night, a few showers running across northern scotland but otherwise dry. one or two mist and fog patches possible. it is a cold night with temperatures dipping down to around 79 celsius in a lot of towns and cities, but rural areas
9:18 am
getting colder than that. a chilly start to sunday, any mist and fog patches clearing and lifting. the greatest threat of showers on sunday affecting eastern england. that's the latest. 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. large numbers of graves are being exhumed at a site in ukraine which was recently recaptured from russian forces. officials near izyum are trying to establish the causes of death, so they can document potential war crimes. our correspondent, hugo bachega is in kyiv. hugo, do we know what has happened? details have been emerging all week and now we know what went details have been emerging all week and now we know what went on. investigators are turning to this forest outside the city of izyum where they found this mass burial site. they believe more than 441 but it had been buried there. yesterday, on the first day when they exhumed
9:19 am
those bodies, they said most of the bodies were of civilians. some of them had signs that they had been tortured and some others, officials believe, died as a result of russian air strikes and shelling. officials said that in one of those graves they found the bodies of around 20 ukrainian soldiers. so, it is a very long and difficult process for these investigators. president zelensky is saying that what the ukrainians or the russians did in izyum was very similar to what they had done in butcher, so it gives a sense of how difficult it will be for the investigators to put the evidence together and establish what has happened there. last night, the ukrainian foreign minister said the scenes in temp three mac, proof of horrendous war crimes. he go with
9:20 am
that update from kyiv, many thanks. two police officers are being treated in hospital, after they were stabbed in central london early yesterday morning. the suspect is now in police custody. our correspondent, simonjones is at new scotland yard. simon, the metropolitan police have described this as a 'very concerning' attack, what do we know? it was at around 6am yesterday morning that two officers were on patrol in leicester square not far from here. they saw a man who had a knife and they approached him. at that point, a female officer was stabbed in the arm. the police have said that the injuries she received are potentially life changing. a male officer then pursued the suspect, and he was stabbed three times in the neck and also in the chest. he was taken to hospital, and we are told he is expected to make a full recovery. some other officers turned up at the scene. they used a
9:21 am
taser to ultimately detain the suspect. he was taken to hospital first but has since been released into police custody. he has been arrested on suspicion of gbh and also on suspicion of assaulting an emergency worker. here at the met they praise the courage of the two officers who were injured. this also shows that despite everything is happening in london, normal policing is still happening. but at the same time, the met has this huge challenge of the security operation ahead of the queen's funeral. we know offers us a brain brought in from right around the country to bolster that operation, but the met police are making it clear that this is the biggest policing operation that the capital has ever seen and potentially is ever likely to see. train drivers will resume their strikes next month, after planned action for this week was postponed following the queen's death.
9:22 am
drivers from twelve rail companies are now expected to stage two walk outs — on 1st and 5th of october — in their long running dispute over pay. the union aslef says it will confirm more about the plans after the queen's funeral. friends and colleagues of former bbc breakfast presenter bill turnbull have been paying tribute to him at his funeral service in suffolk. bill, who presented here on breakfast for 15 years was diagnosed with prostate cancer in 2018 and died in august, aged 66. he has been praised for raising awareness of the symptoms of the disease and encouraging men to get checked. there's growing concern the government's plan to cap household energy bills will not be enough to help the most vulnerable. average bills will be capped at £2,500 from october for two years, with businesses getting help for 6 months. stuart whincup reports. samantha is a carerfor her son and is on benefits. she says the last few months have
9:23 am
been difficult and stressful. scary, it really is. it is literally being, "i'm sorry, kids, but i need to put food on the table, i need to make sure we've got gas and electric." she volunteers at this food club, and like many of the people here, she doesn't believe this announcement will make a difference to her life. to be honest, yes, it might save £1,000, but our bills have still tripled. that's not helping. why can't they go to the energy companies that are still getting billions of pounds worth of profit, make them lower the prices full stop? the government says a typical household will save up to £1,000 a year on energy bills under the new price freeze. but critics claim the measures are not targeted enough with no additional support for the most vulnerable. these people are going to have to pay more than double than what they did last winter for their energy bills, and they can't afford it already and, let's face it,
9:24 am
that energy cap is a rise in price anyway — we're already at 1,900, it's going up to 2,500 — that's an increase. businesses will get help with prices capped for six months. but that's a shorter period than many expected and hoped for, and ed doesn't know how long his bakery and cookery school can go on. if we don't find anything to resolve this, then this community investment company won't be here this time next year. we were spending just under £1,000 a month to run the bread oven. we're now spending over £2,000 a month. so to put it in perspective, you've got to sell an awful lot of scones at 70 pence each to cover that kind of increase. we can't do it. the government says this huge support scheme will help millions of households and businesses, and it could cost up to £150 billion. but the new prime minister, liz truss, says these extraordinary times call for extraordinary measures. that was stuart whincup reporting.
9:25 am
scotland and in particular royal balmoral held a special significance for the queen. royal balmoral held a special having had the opportunity to pay their respects in person in edinburgh, people in the country are now preparing to bid a final farewell to a beloved monarch, as conor gilles roports. bagpipes skirl. high in the hills above balmoral, alone piper�*s lament for a local. a solemn song for a much—missed monarch. she was a big part of the community. we recentlyjust played for her a couple of weeks ago, four, five weeks ago, so it was really a great honour to do that. i think we would probably be the last band that would have played for her. over the decades, the queen spent many a day, many a summer here at her beloved balmoral castle. a place to relax, a place where it's said she could leave her crown at the gates.
9:26 am
and this in 1969, captured in the community, filmed buying prince edward an ice cream with her own money. this is all i've got. just as the queen was always part of their lives here in royal deeside, they too are intertwined in thisjourney on her death. and while the ceremonial crescendo comes in london for the funeral on monday, here, a sober, silent, subtle moment is planned. no pomp, low ceremony, because after all, she, elizabeth ii, was seen here as one of their own. yes, it's a very special place in the village. striking the right tone important from david who's lived here since he was born. this is a very personal occasion. many people have said to me that it almost feels as though they've lost a member of theirfamily,
9:27 am
it's that close a connection, and i feel that they probably want to be at home perhaps on monday with their own families, watching the footage of the funeral and maybe reminiscing. having said that, we will mark the moment of reflection on sunday evening at 8pm, whether it will be a moment's silence here outside the church, and hopefully the people in the village will have the opportunity to come and stand with us and remember the queen at that very poignant moment. down the coast in the aberdeenshire fishing village of gourdon, a different take. at the pub, johnny will be showing proceedings on the screens — a community event with a spread of food. it is most definitely a wake. it's no wakening term, it's a celebration. people will be coming in, there won't be any music or anything on apart from that, which is accompanying, it's like the tv service. yeah, it's a large wake and we're just inviting locals to come in and take part in this experience, because no—one really,
9:28 am
in the last 70 years, has experienced anything like this, so it's going to be something new all us. we also had the queen attend - the cathedral on several occasions. she would attend often for national events. - tales of times gone by here at what's thought to be scotland's biggest cathedral. we come to this significant pew in the cathedral, - and some say it's morei of a throne than a pew, because this is where her majesty the queen would sit. _ this, the queen and prince philip here a decade ago celebrating her diamond jubilee. and now, this is a place planning its own special service before her majesty is laid to rest. we were conscious of the fact that there were many things. happening in many places, - but we thought that it was important to have a period and i a time of preparation. so on sunday evening at 7:00 here in glasgow cathedral, i we're going to have a. service of preparation. back in balmoral, the [and she loved.

9:37 am
we try to very much give you a sense of the atmosphere down here. it has been a quite remarkable and i hope that has come across at home. these people often waiting for 12 hours, those joining are now probably will have to wait for longer, but it is a wonderful atmosphere and people who have been cold over night have been looking after each other, as you heard all along the way. people have been making a very long journeys to get here. we have been out with our correspondence to be on the road to find out what the journeys are like to get here. theirfirst stop is bradford in west yorkshire. it is an early start to get cracking on our trip. nice to see you. nice to see you, too. welcome to the north. thank you for having me. we are exploring the delights of bradford to start with. let's go. may need to grab a coffee, as well. it has been a long start to the day.
9:38 am
i like that that is your priorities. never mind work, let's just do coffee first. coffee or not, we have got a packed agenda, so i am dropping david in the city centre and heading to an old mill further on. good morning. nice to meet you. it is an old mill, is it? yes. this is the hub for the nigerian community in bradford. this man is in charge of the organisation. she was a sovereign leader, she was there for our people always. we are going to be having a friendly football match on saturday in honour of her majesty. it is just for us to come together as a community to say we love her. the pastor of the church here has different plans for the weekly service, too.
9:39 am
this sunday is going to be dedicated essentially for the queen. so we really want to celebrate the life of our queen. somebody passed away at the age of 96, so it's not to mourn, we are going to celebrate her life. meanwhile, in centenary square, it doesn't take me long to find someone who saw queen elizabeth in the flesh. 1961 in india. really? was she visiting at the time? yes. she came to our temple, sikh temple. 26th of january. she came to our sikh temple and was she very gracious. what did that mean to you that she came to the temple? we were very honoured. anne and ruth have come to pay their respects in their own city, but they picked something up on the way on the bus they have the metro. can we have a look at them? every time we get on, - we have been getting them
9:40 am
and i will make a book- on how marvellous she is. is that to pass on in your family or something like that? yes, my son lives. in australia, so i'm going to take all this to australia. am i heading that way? turn left onto otley road, a6038. yes, left here. in picturesque saltaire, organisers of two events this weekend have made different choices about whether or not to go ahead with their plans. i am meeting up with sam and wishing i had my trainers with me, because her park run is still on. hi. how is it going? you run the park run here in saltaire? i do. it went ahead last weekend? we did. and you are going ahead this weekend? we certainly are. one person in particular, he is nearly 90 years old and he comes along every week and said he lives alone,
9:41 am
he doesn't really go out unless he comes to park run and that he was feeling quite upset, sat at home watching the tv about the queen. he said how much he loves queen he loves the fact he could come out in the community and celebrate the queen's life with the rest of us. but here at the top of the hill, they have made a different decision. this is the grand hall at victoria mill. look at it! it is amazing! this was due to be the heart of the saltaire festival this weekend, but ian has frantically rearranged everything, and postponed the whole thing for another two weeks. nobody really knows the right or the wrong thing to do. you will always make some people happy and some people sad, and there will be financial losses, but realistically, she was the head of the state, she was on every single piece of money you have ever made. at the end of it, i will have lost all my hair and will probably be three stone lighter, but we move on and try and do our best, don't we? the sad news is we are leaving yorkshire. the good news is we are heading to lancashire. brilliant. the next best thing in my book.
9:42 am
i will do the directions. in the mill town of darwen, just down the road from blackburn, i'm meeting up with jade. she stepped in to run a pop—up food bank as the usual one is going to be closed during the funeral. i think it is necessary to have a food bank on monday to replace obviously the ones that are closed. the children that cannot go to school on monday, that might be the only place they can eat, just an option for people to literally eat. do you think people appreciate that with this holiday happening at short notice, there are knock—on effects? those decisions are delivered by people who do not require food bank, so... do you see yourself as having to step in there, then? yeah, i think it is definitely necessary. it is unfortunate. across town, staff at the entwistle pub are making plans for opening this extra bank holiday weekend. on monday when it is the funeral, we are opening at ten o'clock, we will be showing the funeral
9:43 am
on all the screens throughout the pub and the two in the beer garden and then we have got all the music turned off so we can listen to the sound from the funeral as well. can i have a pint ofjohn smith's? of course you can. thank you. what a day. lots of people doing things that feel very different, yet a common theme. a lot of people feel they have to do something. but people are making different choices about what to do, what feels appropriate, what doesn't, in different places. difficult choices. it is not an easy decision, and people are coming up with different answers. it is going to be a busy weekend, though. another big drive tomorrow. you have got the car. an early night tonight then. it isa it is a wonderful occasion down here, the sun is shining beautifully. good morning. how has the queue been at for you? hot beautifully. good morning. how has the queue been at for you?- the queue been at for you? not too bad a bit glad _ the queue been at for you? not too bad a bit glad to — the queue been at for you? not too bad a bit glad to be _ the queue been at for you? not too bad a bit glad to be at _ the queue been at for you? not too bad a bit glad to be at the - the queue been at for you? not too bad a bit glad to be at the end. - the queue been at for you? not too bad a bit glad to be at the end. 12 i bad a bit glad to be at the end. 12 hours or so? coming _

9:45 am
and is now in police custody. the stabbing took place near leicester square and police say it is not related to the queen's death or terror—related. this weekend marks ten years since two greater manchester police officers were murdered in the line of duty. fiona bone and nicola hughes were ambushed when they responded to a false report of a burglary. their families will attend a memorial service to mark the anniversary at their old police station and have been speaking to rogerjohnson. nicola had a really wicked sense of humour. she always saw the fun side of life. she was determined to join the police and that is what she went out and did. she was a lovely person and we will always have that in our hearts, and it is hard to imagine she is gone. all the things she did, she made me proud. and i really miss her every day.
9:46 am
it is almost ten years since bryn hughes and paul bone recorded those tributes to their fallen daughters — young police officers murdered doing thejob. a decade on, those feelings of loss and pride are just as strong. the hole in your heart is there and you can never actually fill it. there is no way you can forget what happened, and you will always miss her. you get the significance of the ten—year anniversary, but for us, it is another day and it could be less or more significant, the actual day, september 18th, brings it home to you. two police officers have been killed in greater manchester— after responding to i what turned out to be a bogus 999 call. the murders shocked the nation. it was and remains the only time that two female officers have been killed in the line of duty. september 18th, 2012. a day which ended in tragedy had
9:47 am
begun like any other. come the one o'clock news, everything changed. the bbc beat the police by about three seconds announcing that two policemen had been killed. we got a knock on the door with what had happened after. i think i have watched it, the footage of yourself afterwards. the second officer had died. i remember it. i will never forget it. the police say it is| with great sadness we announce the death of the second officer. i our thoughts are with her family and friends. - the man who killed fiona and nicola will never be freed. he brought guns and grenades to the streets of greater manchester, killing four people. but he was on bail, under investigation for the first two killings when he murdered the officers. being released on bail, if it hadn't happened, we wouldn't he sat here.
9:48 am
every year you get either an e—mail or a phone call to tell you what has happened to him or where he is. really, we don't think about him at all. apart from when the e—mail comes in. it is like holding a hot stone. there is only one person that gets burnt. the idea is to put it down and do away with it and that is what i try to do. i don't give him a second thought. the force and its officers pulled together to support each other in the weeks and months which followed. now they are campaigning for a posthumous medal to be awarded to the families of all emergency services workers who are killed doing theirjob. the two paramedics that went to the scene ignored the order to wait without a care for their own safety, and again, i think thatjust demonstrates the bravery of what emergency service workers will do. there is no general recognition
9:49 am
