southwark park, setting off on their route to pay respects to the queen lying in state in westminster hall. this is southwark park, the very start of the queue, and it is split into four zones. this is in zone one, and you can see some people collecting their coloured wristbands which they will wear, and it allows them to dip out and get a drink if they want to and go back in so they don't lose their place. i am just going to try and grab some people to speak to us. we are from bbc news. can you just talk to us about... as you can see, everyone is very much in a rush to try and get in. but as you mentioned, the accessibility queue was closed yesterday afternoon. they are not allowing anybody else into that queue, but we did speak to a man overnight, ibrahim, who has had bypass surgery. he was hoping tojoin ibrahim, who has had bypass surgery. he was hoping to join that queue and was unable to so instead he is toughing it out like everyone else.

and night to make sure that anybody who is entering that queue gets through to westminster hall before the queue closes officially at a.m. tomorrow morning, but likely to close much sooner than that to make sure that everyone who arrives he gets to go through —— 6:30am tomorrow morning. gets to go through -- 6:30am tomorrow morning.— gets to go through -- 6:30am tomorrow morning. thank you very much indeed- _ tomorrow morning. thank you very much indeed. you've _ tomorrow morning. thank you very much indeed. you've found - tomorrow morning. thank you very much indeed. you've found one, i tomorrow morning. thank you very i much indeed. you've found one, well done. that is the thing, isn't it? people want to get into that queue and get moving as soon as they possibly can when theyjoin it, especially if they have travelled far, like that lady has, from france. we assume that is the day goes on the authorities will have to give some sort of indication about where that cut—off point will be, and people will have to plan if they are heading to london. we will bring you any news on that as the programme goes on this morning. religion was a significant influence throughout the queen's life, and her funeral tomorrow is expected to reflect her deep and personal christian faith. 0ur religion editor aleem maqbool has been looking at what the queen's private faith meant to her and the role it played throughout her reign.

throughout her reign, in good times and bad, the queen drew heavily from herfaith to guide her, and this little church on edges of the del moral estate was a place she held dear. she came to services at cathy kirk all her life, with very little ceremony. there was a royal seat and the royal pew where she always sat. the queen was a very regular church—goer. if she was here, always, always would come to church. for 50 years ken mckenzie was domestic chaplain to the queen, and he will be among those at windsor for herfinal service. he will be among those at windsor for her final service.— for her final service. some of the moments — for her final service. some of the moments i _ for her final service. some of the moments i cherish _ for her final service. some of the moments i cherish most - for her final service. some of the moments i cherish most would i for her final service. some of the | moments i cherish most would be moments — moments i cherish most would be moments when the queen would speak to me _ moments when the queen would speak to me as— moments when the queen would speak to me as a _ moments when the queen would speak to me as a parish minister. i remember_ to me as a parish minister. i remember being over there one evening — remember being over there one evening andl remember being over there one evening and i asked her what her favourite — evening and i asked her what her favourite hymn was. she said to me

chilly last night, but the last couple of nights have been much colder than we have been seeing of late. i was really relieved when i saw the weather forecast because when i got here yesterday morning i was bundled up but some people were in thin jackets and they looked so cold, after about four hours this woman's whole body was aching, so a lot more people are wrapped up against the elements, but it is strange, you think are queueing for that number of hours the mood would be quite grumpy, i would suppose but actually people are chatting to each other, laughing, yesterday when they were told it was another 45 minutes ago there was a big cheer that went up ago there was a big cheer that went up in the crowd, people are sharing snacks, drinks, stories, lots of photos being taken, its a really really lovely atmosphere and what country does queue is better than britain? ,, ., ., ., britain? showing the world what we can do, britain? showing the world what we can do. aren't _ britain? showing the world what we can do, aren't we? _ britain? showing the world what we can do, aren't we? as _ britain? showing the world what we can do, aren't we? as they - britain? showing the world what we can do, aren't we? as they get - can do, aren't we? as they get closer and closer, until they are right outside the palace of westminster, you notice that it gets

quieter, that you get that belief that people are experiencing initially as they meet one another and chat and take their selfie, but as they approach here, just outside the palace, and they confront the reality of what they are about to experience... that it calms down and becomes much quieter and people prepared to enter westminster hall. you can follow all the events and developments leading up to the funeral of queen elizabeth on the bbc news website and iplayer. we will of course be back without —— with more throughout breakfast this morning and bbc throughout the day. were talking about it being slightly warmer and chris has the weather for london, and for the rest of the uk this morning. the weather today for many of you is looking dry but there is more cloud around then we had yesterday, the best of any sunshine across parts of southern wales and

fruit salad is on the menu for this lesson at the world �*s academy at mentally in nottingham. why many schools will ask parents to pay for the ingredients, they don't hear. newjoiners also get free blazes, a tie, calculators and other equipment. the driving force behind the policy is the school principal, who grew up in a low income family in coalville in leicestershire. i grew up with a single parent, there were a and my mum, we were free school meals students, so when i became a principal it was very important that opportunities for everybody, and really thinking about everybody, and really thinking about every decision people make, so for example, some people may say it's only a little bit but i know from my family a little bit was a lot. iloathed family a little bit was a lot. what would ou family a little bit was a lot. what would you say — family a little bit was a lot. what would you say to _ family a little bit was a lot. what would you say to someone - family a little bit was a lot. what would you say to someone who thinks you should bring another teacher in rather than finding blazes and such? my rather than finding blazes and such? my argument is if we are delivering that as a school, as a curriculum, we should not be asking people to pay for this because that's what

snake seems to be motoring along quite quickly this morning. it is common enough. _ quite quickly this morning. it is common enough. i _ quite quickly this morning. it 3 common enough. i get the impression that the authorities here in london are trying to get as many people through westminster hall as they possibly can today. they are still giving a chance for people to reflect and to pause and you have that time inside, but they are trying to get the queue moving, because they know that on a sunday, on a dry day, it is likely to get very, very busy. the queue is likely to get long as the day goes on, and of course there are only 24 hours now that westminster hall will remain open to the public. ijust want to show you this pile of blankets. we have a very effective recycling operation in place here. what happens is that the salvation army and various other charities give blankets to people at the back of the queue if they look like they haven't brought enough coats and they are not going to be warm enough in those hours, and they can keep warm as they went through the night and then as they get to this point, just before they arrive at the palace of westminster, they can dump

their blankets here and then these are collected and then they go back to the beginning of the queue five or six miles away for anybody who is cold. it is a rather lovely way of really keeping warm if they can. i have to say, people seem to be well protected without the blankets this morning — hello, good morning! lots of people with their mittens on and their scarves and hats. they look well—prepared. it has not been quite as cold last night as it was the night before but certainly people do not want to be held up in the darkness overnight. before we have a chat to some people in the queue, i want to explain a bit about what we can expect over the next 24 hours, because it is going to be a momentous time, and i know lots of people want to keep track of events. let me just run this by you. the queen's often will lie in state for this, the fourth and final day in westminster hall —— coffin. there will be a one minute silence held across the uk at 8pm tonight, where people can mark that silence either privately in their own homes, of

course, on the street with their neighbours or at lots of community events and vigils that have been organised right across the country. the king will hold an audience with prime minister liz truss at buckingham palace, and the king and queen consort will also host heads of state and official overseas guests at the palace, who will be here ahead of the queen's funeral tomorrow. lets talk to some of the people who have waited overnight. good morning. may we have a chat with you. we live on bbc breakfast. i know you have waited all night. is that all right? tell us your names and where you have come from.— have come from. sheila, from blackpool- _ have come from. sheila, from blackpool- i— have come from. sheila, from blackpool. i am _ have come from. sheila, from blackpool. i am becky, - have come from. sheila, from blackpool. i am becky, from i blackpool. i am becky, from blackpool- — blackpool. i am becky, from blackpool. her _ blackpool. i am becky, from blackpool. her daughter. i blackpool. i am becky, froml blackpool. her daughter. and blackpool. i am becky, from - blackpool. her daughter. and why did ou want to blackpool. her daughter. and why did you want to come _ blackpool. her daughter. and why did you want to come and _ blackpool. her daughter. and why did you want to come and cue _ blackpool. her daughter. and why did you want to come and cue through i blackpool. her daughter. and why did | you want to come and cue through the night? how has it been? it has you want to come and cue through the night? how has it been?— night? how has it been? it has been lona , night? how has it been? it has been lona, but night? how has it been? it has been long. but we — night? how has it been? it has been long. but we are _ night? how has it been? it has been long, but we are nearly _ night? how has it been? it has been long, but we are nearly there - night? how has it been? it has been long, but we are nearly there now. i night? how has it been? it has been| long, but we are nearly there now. a nice atmosphere? yes, _ long, but we are nearly there now. a nice atmosphere? yes, really - long, but we are nearly there now. a nice atmosphere? yes, really good i nice atmosphere? yes, really good atmosphere- _ nice atmosphere? yes, really good

queueing around the edge of the palace. i think we're going to expect a lot of people here today. what we can expect in terms of the timetable for the king, he has got another busy day to day. later on here at buckingham palace, the king will be hosting a formal state reception here, and that is for heads of state and official overseas guests. he will be joined heads of state and official overseas guests. he will bejoined by his wife, camilla, the queen consort, and it will be the first opportunity that those guests who will be attending the queen's funeral tomorrow will have to gather together in one place. we understand that diplomacy, politics, that will of course be put to one side for the moment while the official mourning period continues and until after the funeral. we know, of course, now that presidentjoe biden, the us president, arrived at stansted airport last night. we're showing you those pictures now. you can see biden with his wife, jill, coming

north—west england around greater manchester and merseyside and we have showers also running through the north sea affecting the eastern areas of scotland and eastern coastal counties of england. through the day the best of the sunshine for southern wales and south—west england will brighten from northern scotland later on as well, and we could see a few showers working into east anglia and south—east england but they will be light and fleeting info many of you probably squeezing between any showers. temperatures will be ranging between 15 and 17 celsius, and today is the last day of the queen's lying in state and we're looking at another dry day in london with a small chance of a shower as head towards the evening time and the state funeral again the weather is looking dry. overnight tonight, we continue to see showers, perhaps a few moving to north wales and increasingly a number of showers into the hebrides, and we see some clearest of the weather overnight, dipping down into single figures but

otherwise, temperatures about 10— 12 degrees. tomorrow we will see power moving into the north—west of the country and a weak weather front will be bringing a few spots of light rain, nothing significant accumulating, a few breaks in the cloud, and towards wales in the south—west of england, but we will see some of the highest temperatures, after 90 degrees, and deeper into the week we will see high—pressure including weather in the south, and these continue to be much more active, bringing a spell of rain southwards and eastwards across the country. on tuesday, another front bringing spots of rain, but some bright sunny spells coming through, and some slightly milder and will be brought with it so temperatures could be 18 to 20, 18 to 19 for belfast, and it is quiet weatherwise until we get to

that front, bringing more active zone, for a time across the north—west, and that is how the weather is looking. we will be back withjohn and the team in london shortly, looking ahead to tomorrow's funeral, but for now let's take a look at the day's other news. amount has been charged with attempted murder after police officers were stabbed on friday. he was charged with assault and accounts and threatening to people with a blade. a female police officer has been discharged from hospital while a male officer remains under medical supervision. police have charged a man with a public order offence for allegedly leaving the queue. he will appear at westminster magistrates court on monday, the second person to be charged with committing an offence while in the queue to see the queen lying in state.

generous with her time. we all knew the queen was 96 and getting increasingly frail. but her parting was so quick, none of us was prepared for that, and coupled with the fact that it was my portrait that was being broadcast around the world, it was a goosebumps moment, i'm still trying to come to return to this, i can't quite believe we have a king. he to this, i can't quite believe we have a king-— to this, i can't quite believe we haveakin.. , , have a king. he paid his first royal ortrait have a king. he paid his first royal portrait aged _ have a king. he paid his first royal portrait aged just _ have a king. he paid his first royal portrait aged just 21 _ have a king. he paid his first royal portrait aged just 21 and _ have a king. he paid his first royal portrait aged just 21 and it - have a king. he paid his first royal portrait aged just 21 and it is - have a king. he paid his first royal portrait aged just 21 and it is his i portrait aged just 21 and it is his dearest wish that one day he might be asked to paint the king. i dearest wish that one day he might be asked to paint the king.- be asked to paint the king. i have to. i so be asked to paint the king. i have to- i so enjoyed — be asked to paint the king. i have to. i so enjoyed my _ be asked to paint the king. i have to. i so enjoyed my settings - be asked to paint the king. i have to. i so enjoyed my settings with| to. i so enjoyed my settings with him in the past, he is a truly remarkable man, settings with him have been a great pleasure, of course we have just talked about art, and if that opportunity ever

arose, i would love to accept the challenge. good morning. welcome to breakfast withjon kay in westminster, where the queen's body lies in state for a fourth full day, and nina is in the studio in salford. our headlines today: the queen consort pays tribute to queen elizabeth ii. she's got those wonderful blue eyes that when she smiles, you know, they light up her whole face. i'll always remember that smile. you know, that smile is unforgettable. thousands continue to pay their respects as the queen's body lies in state for another 24 hours. tomorrow's funeral will be shown on big screens and in cinemas across the uk. us presidentjoe biden has arrived in the uk ahead

of the queen's funeral. he will meet king charles along with other world leaders at buckingham palace later today. away from westminster, today's other headlines: a man has been charged with attempted murder after two police officers were stabbed in london's leicester square. in sport, son heung—min scores a stunning 13—minute hat—trick as tottenham continue their unbeaten run in the premier league. it's sunday 18 september. you're watching bbc breakfast from westminster. the queue continues, people waiting in their thousands again to pay their respects to the queen. today is the last full day that her majesty will lay in state inside the hall and you can see that people are

waiting inside and outside, that queue outside sneaking around for mile after mile, and it is expected to get even longer in the hours ahead. meanwhile, the queen consort, camilla, has recorded a televised tribute to the queen where she has praised the late monarch for carving her own role in a male—dominated world. she has been part of our lives forever. i'm 75 now, and i can't remember anybody except the queen being there. it must have been so difficult for her, being a solitary woman. there weren't women prime ministers or women presidents. she was the only one, so i think she carved her own role. she's got those wonderful blue eyes that when she smiles, you know, they light up her whole face. i'll always remember that smile. you know, that smile is unforgettable.

that smile remembered by the new queen consort and also by so many people here in the queue as they approach westminster hall. that is the scene live where we are this morning. this is the final stage of that weight, so the people you are seeing are getting close. they have been waiting through the night for 12, 13 hours been waiting through the night for 12,13 hours in been waiting through the night for 12, 13 hours in the darkness, and now it is warming up a little bit. the sun is up and these people only have 20 minutes or half—an—hour left to wait before they get inside the palace of westminster. but they've still got to go through security. they've got to go through those checks, but they have told us one after another, and their thousands again this morning, that they have no complaints, despite the pain on their backs on their knees and their feet, they wouldn't have had any other way. they wanted to be they felt the need to be here, and we're going to speak to some of them breakfast this morning. but as well as members of the public, there are

thousands of dignitaries and state leaders from around the world who are arriving in the uk, including the us president, joe biden, who arrived here overnight ahead of the queen's funeral tomorrow morning. dignitaries and heads of state from around the world are expected to attend the service. meanwhile, members of the public who want to pay their respects to the queen at westminster hall are being warned that there is a 12—hour queue. it could get even longer in the hours ahead, as duncan kennedy reports. two countries united by one grief. president biden landing last night at stansted with the first lady ahead of tomorrow's funeral. he is one of around 500 heads of state and dignitaries taking part. from presidents who cross oceans to people who line rivers, mr biden arrives in a capital whose centre has been transformed.

keep on going, guys, keep on going. at its heart, a queue whose length is measured in hours, not yards. some even have proof. i've been here for eight hours and 14 minutes. that's how long i've been here for. at times the queue has been ten miles long. for some, the walking brings weariness and a need to loosen the limbs. not far behind them, someone honoured by the queen who knows all about pace and perseverance. in my head it was like, i have to join this queue. so i stopped all my plans for the weekend, got on the train this morning, met some friends, changed my clothes and here i am. the queue's tempo has varied but has consistently remained patient and determined. to many here, the queen is not a but the national treasure. she's given us so much.

she has given us her whole life, and ijust rang mum and said, we just need to go. what does she mean to you, the queen? i think quite a lot, because obviously we have all grown up with her being our queen, and she has had such a big impact on our lives. she meant quite a lot to all of us. i was a guardsman working outside buckingham palace and the towerl and windsor castle. i feel quite a close affinity with the royal family, - especially the queen. i've met her on occasions, i and ijust think it's my duty to come down and show my respects. when this queue does finally close and the last person files past the queen's coffin sometime early tomorrow morning, it will mark the end of an unprecedented act of collective tribute. attention will then move from westminster hall to westminster abbey for the funeral. last night inside westminster hall, standing sentinel to their beloved grandmother, the queen's eight

grandchildren posted to all sides of the plinth — a symmetrical display of her extended family's devotion. flowing around them, those who have come to pay respects to a long royal life, bookended by coronation and commemoration. westminster hall carrying the solemnity of a cathedral, amid the silence of a library. the prime minister of australia, your majesty. at buckingham palace, king charles has been meeting some of the commonwealth leaders who have arrived for the funeral. they included the australian prime minister, anthony albanese. he has previously declared himself a republican, but said such matters were for another time. at windsor castle, they have been moving tens of thousands of flowers from well—wishers inside the castle grounds ready for the burial

ceremony, with the blooms all facing towards her majesty's beloved home. tonight at 8:00pm, the country will hold a national moment of reflection for one minute to stop and think about the life and legacy of the queen. it comes ahead of tomorrow's funeral, a momentous occasion of state, a family farewell, and a full—stop moment in this nation's history. just after 7am this sunday morning, and that is the view across the bridge. you can see people queueing there as they approach the palace of westminster, and inside westminster hall, still they come in their thousands to file past the coffin. these people have been up all night.

queueing for 12, 13, 14 hours in the cold and in the darkness, and when they get inside the hall, it's only for a few seconds. you can see the authorities came to give people a chance to spend their time there, but also to keep the queue moving, because there are so many people stilljoining, miles further back. today is the fourth and final full day that the queen's coffin will lie in state in westminster hall. it was announced last night that the accessible queue for people with disabilities has already been permanently closed to new entrants after reaching full capacity.

the main queue is moving steadily, but people are being warned if they are justjoining that the wait time is currently about 14 hours and it could get much, much longer is the day goes on. it is the final full day, it is a sunday, so many people are not working. as i arrived in the capital last night from bristol on the train there were still loads of people arriving at paddington from the west of england and the south—west of england, bringing flowers, heading here and determined to be part of this whole experience, to be part of this whole experience, to pay their respects. our reporter lauren moss is at the back of that queue for us this morning. says six or seven miles at least from us in westminster. people still joining. from us in westminster. people still 'oinina. from us in westminster. people still 'oinin.. ., from us in westminster. people still 'oinina. ., , , joining. good morning, yes, indeed, the are. joining. good morning, yes, indeed, they are- it— joining. good morning, yes, indeed, they are- it is _ joining. good morning, yes, indeed, they are. it is the _ joining. good morning, yes, indeed, they are. it is the fourth _ joining. good morning, yes, indeed, they are. it is the fourth and - joining. good morning, yes, indeed, they are. it is the fourth and final i they are. it is the fourth and final day, the last chance for people to come and pay their respects to the queen and try to reach westminster hall, nearwhere

in the hours ahead, the authorities are going to have to explain how they will end acute, because in 24 hours ' time, westminster hall will be closed and so they need to advise people when will be the cut—off point. at some point they will have to close of the queue. the last thing people want is people queueing for 12-14 people want is people queueing for 12—14 hours, getting here and it is close. that would be awful. the government will announce at some point the queue will be close. lines close at 630... tomorrow morning. yes, tomorrow morning so we and dissipate some time this evening, the queue will have to be close. if you want to come down and you want to see the queen lying—in—state, it is better if you do it sooner rather than later. if you leave it to late

king and queen consort will also be meeting heads of state and some of the overseas official guests at the palace as well, who are gathering here. we have seenjoe biden and his wifejill here. we have seenjoe biden and his wife jill arriving here. we have seenjoe biden and his wifejill arriving in the uk last night. they are already here. i thought somebody had fallen over, but we are all talking about buckingham palace, and helena wilkinson is outside the palace. not as many crowds there at the moment but that will be the focus, the king's day with a lot of important meetings ahead. yes. important meetings ahead. yes, another very _ important meetings ahead. yes, another very busy _ important meetings ahead. yes, another very busy day _ important meetings ahead. yes, another very busy day for - important meetings ahead. 1a: another very busy day for the king. it is pretty quiet at the moment this morning, and we have seen some people coming up to the gates at buckingham palace and quietly standing, others in groups taking photographs. we have seen a number of police officers move around behind us, so they are clearly getting ready for another day where they expect once again tens of thousands of people. and don't forget, here is where the crowds

have seen the king going in and out from clarence house, so they might be hoping they will see the king a bit later on today. but the king has a number of formal events later. as you mentioned, he has an audience with the prime minister, liz truss, and then later on the focus will be here at buckingham palace, where there will be that formal state reception. at the funeral tomorrow, 2000 guests, and of those, 500 will be heads of state and foreign dignitaries. here at the palace, the king will host the event, that reception, later on today. it will be the only opportunity, really, where all of those heads of state will be able to gather together. we understand that they will pause diplomacy, because politics due to that period of mourning. those discussions will take place after the funeral. you have mentioned

during the programme, of course, that the us president, joe biden, arrived here in the uk last night. we're just showing the pictures there of mr biden coming off air force one with his wife, jill. they arrived at stansted airport last night, and today president biden is expected to sign an official of condolence at lancaster house, which is not too far away from where we are. those who are attending the funeral tomorrow are also going to be given the opportunity, if they wish, to go to westminster hall to pay their respects to see the queen lying in state, and they will also, as we expect president biden to do a bit later on, sign the official book of condolence. today, jon, it really

is about all of those people from abroad, world leaders, presidents, prime ministers, dignitaries, and also members of the royalfamilies from europe as well who will be attending the queen's funeral tomorrow. we will see them arriving here in london. some, of course, have arrived already, but also here at the palace, a lot of people will be coming in and out of the palace, no doubt. the crowds will again be building a bit later on this morning, expecting tens of thousands of people. in fact, there are some people, jon, already camping not too farfrom the palace — people, jon, already camping not too far from the palace — the devoted, dedicated royal supporters. they want to be here for monday, and they have tried to get the best space that they can, because again, this will be one of the focus points tomorrow. so again, expecting lots of people here a bit later on. indeed. helena at buckingham palace, thank you very much indeed. just

is unforgettable. thousands continue to pay their respects as the queen's body lies in state for another 2a hours. tomorrow's funeral will be shown on big screens and in cinemas across the uk. us presidentjoe biden has arrived in the uk ahead of the queen's funeral. he'll meet king charles along with other world leaders at buckingham palace later today. away from westminster, today's other headlines: a man has been charged with attempted murder after two police officers were stabbed in london's leicester square. in sport, son heung—min scores a stunning is—minute hat—trick as tottenham continue their unbeaten run in the premier league. it's sunday, 18th september. you're watching bbc breakfast from westminster.

this is westminster hall, where people are still waiting to pay their respects to the queen as today marks the last full day of her majesty's lying—in—state. people have been waiting for 12, 13, i4 people have been waiting for 12, 13, 14 hours, overnight to pay their respects. we also have a statement that has been recorded by the queen consort, camilla. she praised elizabeth ii for carving "her own role" in a male—dominated world. she has been part of our lives forever. i'm 75 now, and i can't remember anybody except the queen being there. it must have been so difficult

for her, being this solitary woman. there weren't women prime ministers or women presidents. she was the only one. so i think she carved her own role. she's got those wonderful blue eyes that, when she smiles, you know, they light up her whole face. i'll always remember that smile. you know, that smile is unforgettable. it doesn't matter who you are, royal family or any family, those comments about the glint in the eye, that smile of the queen, are exactly the same comments you get when you talk to people in the crowd or the queen consort. that crowd is moving quickly. these people are approaching the palace of westminster. there will be inside the hall in the next 20 minutes or

half—an—hour or so. they have queued through the night. we understand the queueis through the night. we understand the queue is 13 hours long. with it being sunday and pretty decent weather ahead, we are expecting the queue to get longer and longer and the authorities are going to have to make public that decision about how long the queue will remain open. westminster hall will close to the public at 6:30am tomorrow morning ahead of the funeral. world leaders have been arriving. the us president, joe biden, has arrived in the uk ahead of the queen's funeral tomorrow morning. duncan kennedy reports. two countries united by one grief. president biden landing last night at stansted with the first lady ahead of tomorrow's funeral. he is one of around 500 heads of

state and dignitaries taking part. from presidents who cross oceans to people who line rivers, mr biden arrives in a capital whose centre has been transformed. keep on going, guys, keep on going. at its heart, a queue whose length is measured in hours, not yards. some even have proof. i've been here for eight hours and 1a minutes. that's how long i've been here for. at times the queue has been ten miles long. for some, the walking brings weariness and a need to loosen the limbs. not far behind them, someone honoured by the queen who knows all about pace and perseverance. in my head it was like, i have to join this queue.

so i stopped all my plans for the weekend, got on the train this morning, met some friends, changed my clothes and here i am. the queue's tempo has varied but has consistently remained patient and determined. to many here, the queen is not a but the national treasure. she's given us so much. she has given us her whole life, and ijust rang mum and said, we just need to go. what does she mean to you, the queen? i think quite a lot, because obviously we have all grown up with her being our queen, and she has had such a big impact on our lives. she meant quite a lot to all of us. i was a guardsman working i outside buckingham palace and the tower and windsor castle. i feel quite a close affinity with the royal family, - especially the queen. i've met her on occasions, i and ijust think it's my duty to come down and show my respects. when this queue does finally close and the last person files past the queen's coffin sometime early tomorrow morning, it will mark the end of an unprecedented act of collective tribute.

attention will then move from westminster hall to westminster abbey for the funeral. last night inside westminster hall, standing sentinel to their beloved grandmother, the queen's eight grandchildren posted to all sides of the plinth — a symmetrical display of her extended family's devotion. flowing around them, those who have come to pay respects to a long royal life, bookended by coronation and commemoration. westminster hall carrying the solemnity of a cathedral, amid the silence of a library. the prime minister of australia, your majesty. at buckingham palace, king charles has been meeting some of the commonwealth leaders who have arrived for the funeral. they included the australian prime

minister, anthony albanese. he has previously declared himself a republican, but said such matters were for another time. at windsor castle, they have been moving tens of thousands of flowers from well—wishers inside the castle grounds ready for the burial ceremony, with the blooms all facing towards her majesty's beloved home. tonight at 8:00pm, the country will hold a national moment of reflection for one minute to stop and think about the life and legacy of the queen. it comes ahead of tomorrow's funeral, a momentous occasion of state, a family farewell, and a full—stop moment in this nation's history. here we are, just after eight o'clock on a sunday morning, the sun

is out. it looks like it'll be a lovely day here. it is warming up the crowds who have been in the cold and darkness through the last 12 or 13 hours. of course, there are many thousands more who are joining the back of the queue seven or eight miles away who have hours and hours to go before they get to this point. everybody is thinking about today but also looking ahead to tomorrow. we know that more than 1,000 sailors or royal marines will be preparing to take part in the funeral of the queen tomorrow, pulling to state ceremonial gun carriage bearing the queen? often from westminster hall to westminster abbey at o'clock tomorrow morning. i'm joined now by admiral sir ben key, who is the first sea lord and chief of naval staff. we know that this is a huge privilege for your team, for your sailors and royal navy personnel.

soldier, an aviator who has to take their duty, whether that is upping scotland, in the midlands, or the naval bases on the south coast. it is an extraordinary coming together of the uk armed forces, our civil servants and support contractors to play our part in this national and global moment. we play our part in this national and global moment.— global moment. we are seeing ictures global moment. we are seeing pictures of— global moment. we are seeing pictures of some _ global moment. we are seeing pictures of some of _ global moment. we are seeing pictures of some of the - global moment. we are seeing i pictures of some of the rehearsals taking place over the last couple of days. forthose taking place over the last couple of days. for those sailors involved in the procession of the coffin itself, it is a really complicated job that they have to do to get it absolutely perfect. talk us through the manoeuvring.— perfect. talk us through the manoeuvring. perfect. talk us through the manoeuvrinr. , ., ., ., manoeuvring. there is a huge amount of rehearsal — manoeuvring. there is a huge amount of rehearsal required. _ manoeuvring. there is a huge amount of rehearsal required. it _ manoeuvring. there is a huge amount of rehearsal required. it is _ manoeuvring. there is a huge amount of rehearsal required. it is not - of rehearsal required. it is not lights, it is quite a heavy affair. the people that are marching behind the coffin are actually the brakes. attention needs to be maintained the whole time on the gun carriage so it

moves at a requisite pace, balance between the momentum. the streets of london are not flat, there are couples, sand across horse guards parade, and up constitution hill it takes a huge amount of skill and personal fitness. takes a huge amount of skill and personalfitness. having met those involved, whether they have been in the service for just a few involved, whether they have been in the service forjust a few months or coming towards the end after many decades of service, they all share the same sense of deep personal pride and an absolute commitment that this final mark of respect that we the armed forces are making for her late majesty goes perfectly. no one wants to let the side down. that applies to all of us. myself and the service chiefs have been rehearsing through the night as well, there is no favour for rank. you

make sure that our families are being looked after. she understood separation, times at sea, and also the pressures that naval life can bring. she wanted to acknowledge all of us in the naval community, as well as across the armed forces as a whole. 50 well as across the armed forces as a whole. ,, ., well as across the armed forces as a whole. , ., whole. so when you were there, standin: whole. so when you were there, standing right — whole. so when you were there, standing right next _ whole. so when you were there, standing right next to _ whole. so when you were there, standing right next to the - whole. so when you were there, j standing right next to the coffin, whole. so when you were there, l standing right next to the coffin, i suppose they were at the thought you were having. i suppose they were at the thought you were havinu. . , suppose they were at the thought you were having-— were having. i was privileged enough to have an audience _ were having. i was privileged enough to have an audience with _ were having. i was privileged enough to have an audience with her- were having. i was privileged enough| to have an audience with her majesty in may. we talked about many things. one of the things we reflected on then was her father and one of the things we reflected on then was herfather and my grandfather fought alongside each other at hms collingwood at the battle ofjutland. it was a bond that stayed with them through their respective lives. we were just reflecting upon that sense of service and the fact that this is

shared from royalty to commoner, and ifound myself shared from royalty to commoner, and i found myself thinking shared from royalty to commoner, and ifound myself thinking here i am standing just a few feet away from someone who is a global figure, standing just a few feet away from someone who is a globalfigure, but also a very human person. i was gratefulfor also a very human person. i was grateful for what she also a very human person. i was gratefulfor what she did also a very human person. i was grateful for what she did for us. you have spent time in the last couple of days with his majesty king charles, as well. horn couple of days with his ma'esty king charles, as wit charles, as well. how he found time to meet his — charles, as well. how he found time to meet his service _ charles, as well. how he found time to meet his service chiefs _ charles, as well. how he found time to meet his service chiefs i - charles, as well. how he found time to meet his service chiefs ijust - to meet his service chiefs ijust don't know. we had the privilege of an audience with him yesterday. he was engaged, engaging. they also took trouble to find out what else we were doing on military operations around the world. the lenses obviously focusing on london, but service personnel deployed globally, still engaged in security operations. ukraine would be an obvious one. the nuclear deterrent submarine is on patrol, that never stops. we talked about those things.

and also to clearly mark our condolences to him and his family. it was a chance for us to just commit ourselves without fanfare or an oath to serve him in the way we served his late mother. you alluded to it there. — served his late mother. you alluded to it there, the _ served his late mother. you alluded to it there, the fact _ served his late mother. you alluded to it there, the fact that _ served his late mother. you alluded to it there, the fact that he - served his late mother. you alluded to it there, the fact that he is - to it there, the fact that he is having all these meetings, meeting presidents and prime ministers from across the world, hosting the world really in london, yet also grieving as a son. how did he seem up close? well, there was a sort of mix of sadness and sparkle, depending on where the conversation took us. i think we are all capable of, we have experienced grief, and we are capable of smiling amidst them. i came away with huge respect for what the royal family are going through at the moment. i think we would all find it very difficult to grieve in

such a public manner. i hope after tomorrow is over they will have time tomorrow is over they will have time to reflect privately amongst themselves. my admiration for the king remains as high as it has always been. he has been a great supporter of us all and no doubt will continue to be so.— supporter of us all and no doubt will continue to be so. thank you very much _ will continue to be so. thank you very much for— will continue to be so. thank you very much forjoining _ will continue to be so. thank you very much forjoining us. - will continue to be so. thank you very much forjoining us. good i will continue to be so. thank you i very much forjoining us. good luck with yourfinal very much forjoining us. good luck with your final rehearsals today. these people waiting for the final few moments before they get inside westminster hall. we are talking a lot about what we can expect from that funeral service tomorrow. our religion editor, aleem maqbool, has been looking at what the queen's private faith meant to her and the role it played throughout her reign. throughout her reign, in good times and bad, the queen drew heavily from herfaith to guide her, and this little church on the edge of the balmoral estate was a place she held dear. she came to services at crathie kirk all her life, with very little ceremony. there was a royal seat and a royal

pew where she always sat. the queen was a very regular church—goer. if she was here, always, always would come to church. for 50 years ken mackenzie was domestic chaplain to the queen, and he will be among those at windsor for her final service. some of the moments i cherish most would be moments when the queen would speak to me as a parish minister. i remember being over there one evening and i asked her what her favourite hymn was. she said to me that her fondest memory ever of christian song was herfather singing to her at her bedside as she was going to bed. the hymn she remembered her father singing was based on the parable of the sheep lost in the open country.

"although the road be rough and steep, i go into the desert to find my sheep." lord sentamu, the former archbishop of york, is one of a small team that came up with the original order of service for the queen's funeral. he says her knowledge of scripture is remarkable. she knows the psalms by heart and can recite them. so you can be in a conversation — one time she was going through quite a trying period, and we had been talking, and suddenly — "i lift up my eyes, my health cometh from the lord, the maker of heaven and earth." and you knew that whatever difficulties she was going through, her anchor was in god. and it was the anchor of her faith that once led the queen to say this. as dark as death can be, particularly for those

suffering with grief, light and life are greater. the union flag at half mast above the palace of westminster here in central london. right now this building is the focus of the world's attention. this is westminster hall where people continue to process through to pay their respects to the coffin of queen elizabeth ii. people who have been queueing all night for mile after mile and two are finally

now inside. that moment of peace and tranquillity and reverence inside after hours of chatting and waiting with other people in the queue. our reporter charlotte gallagher is with this. it seems to be moving quite quickly this morning. the authorities seem to be keen to get people queue because they know com 6:30am tomorrow that is it. yes. people queue because they know com 6:30am tomorrow that is it._ 6:30am tomorrow that is it. yes, and we have seen — 6:30am tomorrow that is it. yes, and we have seen with _ 6:30am tomorrow that is it. yes, and we have seen with other— 6:30am tomorrow that is it. yes, and we have seen with other events, - 6:30am tomorrow that is it. yes, and we have seen with other events, if. we have seen with other events, if they say it is going to shut at a certain time, that is when it will happen. military precision. at some point today the government will need to make the call about the queue, to get people to stop joining it. they don't want people to potentially be queueing for 1h hours, getting to the front and then be told that they can't get in. that would be

devastating for people who have spent hours and hours in that queue. if you are thinking of coming down there is still time to join the queue, but we are expecting this afternoon or this evening that they will close it. if you do want to see the queen lying in the states, you would need to be here before this afternoon. there was a lot of disappointed people saying they wanted to come down and they didn't have the chance because they have mobility problems and they needed to shut that. lots and lots of people have seen the queen now, thousands have seen the queen now, thousands have filed past every day. it is amazing hearing the stories from people. one woman, her brother was in the army and he had recently died

and she brought his earn. another family, they left from wales add 2am. they brought a photo of their grandma because they knew she would want to be here if she could. lots of people queueing notjust for themselves but for other people. representing their friends, family, work colleagues. thank you, charlotte. there are a lot of people at this final bid just before the go inside westminster hall. if you have food, you are asked to put it in a bag, and that food would be distributed to food banks, charities across london. there is a real sense here that there should be no waste, think should be recycled, along with the blankets, as well. details of how you can watch

the queen's funeral tomorrow have now been released. the state funeral service that's being held at 11.00am in westminster abbey will be broadcast on tv on bbc one, itv and sky. for those wanting to be there in person there will be special viewing places along the route of the funeral procession in london and windsor. the public procession in london will be between westminster abbey and wellington arch, whilst the windsor procession will travel along the long walk before going into the castle grounds for a private service. there will also be big screens and 125 cinemas showing the services around the uk.

you can follow all the events and developments leading up to the funeral of queen elizabeth on the bbc news website and iplayer. we will be here for tomorrow morning leading up to the funeral here on bbc breakfast. one thing very much on the minds of people here waiting, especially at the back of the queue, is the weather. how will it look today and into tonight for people who are prepared to wait that long? it's time now for the

weather with chris. the weather today for many of you is looking dry but there is more cloud around than we had yesterday, the best of any sunshine across parts of southern wales and south—west england. the cloud today will be thick enough for a few passing showers across parts of north—west england, across northern scotland and around some eastern areas of england, particularly near the north sea coast but away from these areas the weather should stay dry around 17—18 celsius. the weather will be dry today but they will be more in the way of cloud, temperature is about 17 degrees and that the state funeral tomorrow again it is looking dry, the occasional brighter spell. overnight tonight showers will continue across eastern areas of england for a time in the night we will see thicker cloud working in the north—west of the uk bringing a few splashes of light, patchy rain.

when the clouds break we will see temperatures dipped down into single figures so a few areas will have a chilly start of the day and quite a bit of cloud around, some drier weather, bright or sunny spells but across the north—west the cloud will be thickest and we will have a few areas of light rain from time to time, it will turn slightly warmer, we'll have more from jon and the team in london throughout the morning, but let's take a look at some of today's other news. a man has been charged with attempted murder after two police officers were stabbed in central london on friday. mohammed rahman was also charged with assault and two counts of threatening a person with a blade. a female officer suffered a stab wound to the arm and has been discharged from hospital, while a male officer remains under medical supervision. police and community leaders are calling for calm after large numbers of people became involved in disorder in parts of east leicester. footage online shows hundreds of people, mainly men, filling the streets on saturday evening. it is the latest in a series of disturbances which started after an india and pakistan cricket

match last month. the un's nuclear watchdog says ukraine's zaporizhzhia power plant is receiving power from the national grid again. the site was seized by russian forces within days of the invasion in february. meanwhile, president zelensky says investigations into possible russian war crimes are continuing in the city of izyum following the discovery of mass graves. our correspondent hugo bachega joins us now. hugo, this will be a long and painstaking process. what more do we know today? authorities have found 57 bodies from this burial site outside the city of izyum. most of them were civilians. these bodies have been found in one mass grave. it will be a very long process. they say a50

graves have been found in this forest and one by one they are recovering those bodies to identify the victims and establish what happened to them. we don't know how they died. last night, president zelensky said there is no evidence that many of these people were tortured, but he didn't give details. he also said that as authorities return to those liberated towns and villages in north—east of the country, they are finding evidence of torture, torture chambers, in his words, more than ten of these places have been found and prosecutors in one town released images of a place they said was being used as a torture centre and they released a picture of the device that was being used to get electric shocks. russia has denied that it has committed atrocities, crimes in this country, but the

updated. full coverage on the bbc throughout the day. we will bring you any news as it comes into us from the government about the plan for the queue because it was mr hole will close to the public strictly at half past six tomorrow morning so people who are thinking about heading to london need to know what the latest point may be for them to join so people are not disappointed. this evening there will be a one—minute silence across the uk at eight o'clock tonight and people will be able to mark the silence privately or in their own homes but we have had from people getting together with neighbours or at work having community events and vigils. the official duties of the king

continue. he grieves privately but he is also holding an audience with the prime minister, liz truss and buckingham palace today to talk through the final details of the funeral and the king and queen consort are hosting official guest who have arrived and their thousands including presidentjoe biden and his wife, the first lady. they flew into sta nsted his wife, the first lady. they flew into stansted last night and they will meet king charles today amongst others so our new king has a packed day ahead of them even before he gets to the funeral tomorrow. as well as hearing from people in the queue here in central london we wanted to get around the uk and hear your stories from communities everywhere. we've sent our correspondents colletta smith and david wallace—lockhart out on the road

to hear how some of you will be marking this moment in our history. get yourself buckled in, and we'll head off on our grand tour. travelling across the north of england yesterday, the only queue we encountered was at the bar. but people are marking this weekend in weird and wonderful ways. from saturday. we met runners and worship leaders. this is the grand hall at victoria mill. i we heard about plans for food banks, festivals and football matches. this morning i am behind the wheel as we leave lancashire and head south. first stop, cheshire, and it's ellesmere port. i'm meeting the delightful andrew and his family. he has made and sent so many cards to the queen over the last few years that they practically became penpals. this one is, like, a letter. the queen was glad to learn that you like to help others and to know

that you and your brother and sister support children's charities. i write happy christmas| or how much we raised, or when it's her birthday, i or when prince philip died. you wrote a card and sent it? yes, or her 70 years on the throne. yeah. who are you writing to next? good luck to prince charles for being king, and... i and i'll do a happy christmas one to prince william. - on monday, which is going to be the queen's funeral, do you think you will be watching that? what are your plans as a family? we're hopefully going to watch i pirates of the caribbean 4 and 5. that is a great idea. down at the waterfront,

i want to find out what people have planned for the funeral tomorrow. it's videos, and if you pop down, it's there. it's not long before i bump into youtuber zander and his dad. how is he planning to spend the bank holiday? probably doing stuff on youtube, occasionaly popping downstairs to have a look at the tv, but pretty much just youtube. do you have a television? it turns out we're not the only ones travelling around at the moment. lauris has come over from new zealand for a canal barge holiday. i think it's a very important moment in history, isn't it? it's possibly not something that we'll experience again in our lifetime. and you'll potentially find somewhere for the funeral tomorrow, is that right?

that's what our hope is, yes. we're hoping to be back in chester, where we can get a good signal and watch it on television. the kiwi flag is at half—mast for the queen. as we get back on the road, this time heading for wales. so that's us officially entering llandudno. ——so that's us officially entering conwy. i've got the best deal this afternoon, a proper day out at the seaside. in llandudno, the pier is packed, but it will be a different scene tomorrow as the whole thing will be closed off. bank holiday is usually the biggest for the year for us, but we just made a decision. and in the eyes of the public, as well as our staff, our team, want to spend the day remembering. you've never had any royals? not yet. hopefully soon, hopefully they'll come down. so you run the pier here, but you're not a fan of heights. i'm not, no. this is the second time i've been on it. my colleague who runs

the wheel does it on purpose. he stops it right at the top because he knows full well i'm scared of heights. i am dropping in on elysia. elysia, hi, i'm david. she is an artist who posts her work on tiktok. her recent painting of the queen has 2.5 million views. i spent hours looking at her face and trying to work out her features and everything, so i was really upset. i sort of felt like i knew her. sometimes being far away doesn't mean you can't feel close to someone. everywhere we've been on this road trip has felt very far from london, and it's felt very far from those official events, but still so many people wanting to mark this weekend somehow. and we've ended up in a [and that's built around the holiday industry,

but bank holiday weekend looks like no other. yes. shall we start thinking about heading back? i'm not going anywhere until i finish this ice cream and devoured the flake. that's a good point. i have been told that as an ice cream van providing coffee and sustenance. amongst the dignitaries and vips in attendance for the queen's funeral at westminster abbey tomorrow will be those who featured in the queen's birthday honours list earlier this year, like nancy o'neil, who received an mbe for her services to the nhs during the covid pandemic. nancy joins us now. tell us how you came to be invited to the funeral. fin tell us how you came to be invited to the funeral.— to the funeral. on saturday afternoon _ to the funeral. on saturday afternoon of _ to the funeral. on saturday afternoon of last _

see the coffin of the queen and i think i would have done that, i considered going and taking my grandchildren but no with the queues i suspect it would be a little challenging for me getting around london tomorrowjust like everyone else but i will try and soak in some of the atmosphere and enjoy the whole day. of the atmosphere and en'oy the whole da . ., , of the atmosphere and en'oy the whole day.— of the atmosphere and en'oy the whole da . ., , , whole day. you will be there inside the abbey but _ whole day. you will be there inside the abbey but spend _ whole day. you will be there inside the abbey but spend some - whole day. you will be there inside the abbey but spend some time i whole day. you will be there inside the abbey but spend some time on whole day. you will be there inside - the abbey but spend some time on the streets as well. how would you get here from bradford? we are being warned to expect a lot of people using the uk transport links tomorrow. i using the uk transport links tomorrow— using the uk transport links tomorrow. ., ., ., ., tomorrow. i am going down on the train this afternoon _ tomorrow. i am going down on the train this afternoon so _ tomorrow. i am going down on the train this afternoon so i _ tomorrow. i am going down on the train this afternoon so i hope - tomorrow. i am going down on the train this afternoon so i hope to i train this afternoon so i hope to get down, not as easy a journey as i would normally have expected because for some reason the direct train from leeds does not seem to be running today but if they are not one i could get a ticket booked on. a challenge getting hotel accommodation for tonight as well but i have managed to do that and i

think there will be a lot of walking involved, which is not too bad today because i will have my walking shoes on but tomorrow i have my heels out for the first time in a few years and i suspect i will be walking to the abbey and i think i will have about a mile to walk tomorrow but then i look at those who have been queueing for 1h hours and walking for practically all of that time and i can't complain. , yes i will go and the abbey. i'm not entirely sure what the sitting arrangements are and i suspect i will be towards the back of the abbey but it will be amazing to be there to be part of an historic event, one of the biggest events to take place in the country in the last 100 years, probably. it in the last 100 years, probably. it will be an amazing thing to be part of and a privilege for you. i suggest when you get here tomorrow don't say in too loud a voice that

you have had to walk for a mile because these people walked for ten or 12 miles through the night. we wish you all the best and thank you for sharing your story with us and we hope tomorrow goes 0k sharing your story with us and we hope tomorrow goes ok for you. we will talk to some of the people in the queue here a little later. it is a beautiful autumn day in london. what will it be like today and tonight for the people that make the final journey to london here? hello again. for most of you the day ahead is looking dry but there is some more cloud around than we've had for the past few days. the best of the sunshine likely across parts of wales and south—west

england whereas for scotland and eastern areas of england we've got much thicker cloud movingin and indeed underneath this area of cloud we've got a couple of weeks weather fronts diving southwards around the north sea. that will just increase the thickness of the clouds, bringing a few passing showers, and we've picked up those shows ——bringing a few passing showers, and we've picked up those showers already this morning, affecting northern scotland. one or two running through the north channel, you can see one of those across the isle of man into parts of north—west england around greater manchester and merseyside. and we have some showers also running down the north sea affecting eastern areas of scotland and eastern coastal counties of england. now, through the day the best of the sunshine for southern wales and south—west england, although it will brighten up for northern scotland later on as well. we could see a few showers working into east anglia and south—east england but they will befitting for many of you probably squeezing between any showers. temperatures today, for most ranging

between 15, 17 celsius. today is the last day of the queen's lying in state and we're looking at another dry day in london. just a small chance of a shower as we head towards evening. and for tomorrow for the state funeral, again the weather is looking dry. overnight tonight, we will continue to see a few showers for a time working in across north—west england, perhaps a few moving to north wales an increasing number of shows into the hebrides. working in across north—west england, perhaps a few moving —— to north wales an increasing number of showers into the hebrides. but otherwise it's a dry night with some clear spells. where we see the clearest of the weather overnight temperatures dip down into single figures, but otherwisejust about ten to 12 degrees. now, tomorrow, we see thicker cloud looking into the north—west of the country and actually there is a week whether frontier that will be bringing a few spots of light rain, nothing significant, mind you, and relating to the day. a few breaks in the cloud, eastern scotland, and again there could be a few towards wales and the south—west of england, that's where we will see some of the highest temperatures, up to 19 degrees. then deeper into the new week, we've still got high pressure

influencing the weather in the south but these fronts start to become much more active at the time to get to thursday, bringing a spell of rain southwards and eastwards across the country. so, weather—wise, on tuesday another weak weather front coming in to the north—west of the country bringing again the threat of a few spots of rain. quite a bit of cloud but some bright or sunny spells coming through — this weather front actually will be bringing some slightly milder air with it and temperatures could reach around 18 to 20 across england and wales, 18 for belfast and 17 for glasgow. it is fairly quiet weather—wise until we get to thursday when that weather front brings a more active zone of rain across the country, strengthening winds for a time across the north west. that's how the weather is looking. i think we have found the person in the queue with the most medals. this is ira: , the queue with the most medals. t�*u 3 is iraq, afghanistan, jubilee medal. this is a long service good conduct medal and silverjubilee medal.
