11:30 pm
hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are mikhaila friel, a lifestyle reporter at insider, covering royals — and political commentatorjo phillips. we will say hello to both and just a moment. first, let's take a look at the front pages. the sunday telegraph leads with the queen's grandchildren standing "together for granny" in a vigil in westminster hall where the queen is lying in state. "granny's guard of honor" — the sunday mirror — as with all the sundays — also marks the silent tribute the queen's six grandchildren, led by prince william, took part in. the sunday express joins mps in calling for a regular annual celebration to enshrine the memory of the queen with a dedicated day in the national calendar.
11:31 pm
and the observer also has most of its front on the vigil but leads with a report that new prime minister liz truss is due a "bruising return to the political fray after the queen's funeral". to the commonwealth, and asutralia's sydney morning herald reports on the australian prime minister says a break away from the british monarchy is not on the agenda until a second term, after his meeting with king charles. you will just have you willjust have to believe me, we are having a problem with the image there. we know that us president biden is due to be at the funeral of the queen but amid all the royal news, the new york times leads on the president resisting a request from the ukrainian government for more powerful missile systems as the army there continues it's counter offensive against russian forces. let's ta ke let's take a look at the front pages. that evening to you both and

11:40 pm
were going on different paths, but it seems now they have typed on a united front. if you look back to prince philip's funeral last year, they had their cousin standing between nine, and that on the field more rumours about a falling out. so it seems to me that they have taken the right approach this time around. they are being united, they are standing together in their military uniform and it will be interesting to see after this morning period is over and after the funeral if that's united front will continue. i believe that harry and megan, they do get a lot of criticism, particularly from the british tabloids. —— meghan. having charles specifically back them up and support them i think could do a world of good and really show them as a family uniting at this difficult time. . ., difficult time. interesting. to the front -a~e difficult time. interesting. to the front page of _ difficult time. interesting. to the front page of the _ difficult time. interesting. to the front page of the observer. - difficult time. interesting. to the front page of the observer. a - difficult time. interesting. to the front page of the observer. a bit| difficult time. interesting. to the l front page of the observer. a bit of politics for you now. the headline at the bottom of the observer is

the ambition was for a new elizabethan age. some feared she was doomed to fail. but elizabeth was nothing if not determined. # in his pocket is a portrait of the queen...# in the �*60s, the queen became a bridgehead between continuity and change. in science and in culture, elizabeth walked a line between tradition and modernity. # her majesty's a pretty nice girl, but she doesn't have a lot to say.# quietly and uncontroversially, elizabeth worked to ensure the monarchy was not left behind by the change sweeping across her kingdom. john lennon: she seemed pleasant enough to us, - you know, made us relaxed. # god save the queen.#. amid the social conflict of the �*70s, the queen ruled a less deferential kingdom. those in favour... a time when authority and the established order
