members of the royal family, walked behind her coffin as it was taken into the abbey from westminster hall where it had been lying in state. hundreds of dignitaries including world leaders, joined members of the royal family and the public at the service. we start with our royal correspondent nicholas witchell, on the state funeral of queen elizabeth. on a clear morning in september, the world focused its attention on london for the grandest and most solemn of events. for a revered monarch who had reigned longer than any other, all the honours of a state funeral. within westminster abbey, where great moments of history have been staged for more than 1,000 years, the leaders of many nations came together to pay their tributes.

macron from france, biden from the united states, trudeau from canada, and scores of others. theyjoined political leaders from the nations of the united kingdom, all the living british prime ministers, faith leaders, charity workers and citizens at a moment in the nation's affairs when rank took second place to the desire to pay respect. to the tolling of a single bell, the bearer party from the grenadier guards brought the queen's coffin from westminster hall to place it on the gun carriage. at 10.45 the order was given for the cortege to step off.

walking behind the coffin, the king, his sister, the princess royal, his two brothers, the duke of york and the earl of wessex, behind them, the prince of wales and his brother, the duke of sussex. from the palace of westminster, around parliament square and into broad sanctuary, the gun carriage was drawn by 142 members of the royal navy. they brought it to the great west door of the abbey church, where, as a young princess, elizabeth had been married and later crowned as sovereign.

as the coffin was borne up the abbey's central aisle, among the family members walking behind, two small figures. prince george and princess charlotte, aged nine and seven respectively, attending this most solemn of state occasions. 0n the coffin, a wreath, with rosemary for remembrance, myrtle, the symbol of a happy marriage, and english oak, symbolising the strength of love. and a card hand written by the king, "in loving and devoted memory, charles r." in profound thanksgiving, we come to this house of god. we gather from across the nation, from the commonwealth and from the nations of the world to mourn our loss, to remember her long life of selfless service.

# the lord's my shepherd, i'll not want #. all the music and readings had been approved by the queen herself. they included a hymn sung at her wedding. in his sermon, the archbishop of canterbury spoke of a life devoted to duty. people of loving service are rare in any walk of life. leaders of loving service are still rarer. but in all cases those who serve will be loved and remembered, when those who cling to power and privileges are long forgotten.

the grief of this day, felt not only by the late queen's family, but all round the nation, the commonwealth and the world, arises from her abundant life and loving service now gone from us. after prayers, the sounding of the last post and a two—minute silence. # god save our gracious king. # long live our noble king. # god save our king #.

the national anthem was sung and the coffin was borne from the abbey on the shoulders of the grenadier guards. as the funeral procession set off through the wide streets of ceremonial london that she knew so well, a gun salute was fired in hyde park. the procession was led by the royal canadian mounted police, canada the commonwealth country she visited more than any other.

it included military detachments from across the commonwealth, recipients of the victoria and george crosses and health workers from the nhs. the gun carriage was drawn up whitehall and past the cenotaph where the standards of the royal british legion were lowered in respect. following behind the cortege in a vehicle, george and charlotte with their mother and the queen consort.

the procession stretched the length of the mall and beyond. it brought the gun carriage to buckingham palace, past the balcony where she'd first appeared in 1927 at the age of one, and where she'd been seen most recently during her platinum jubilee. up constitution hill... ..to wellington arch, close to her childhood home on piccadilly. the military detachments and the bands were drawn up. three generations of the royal family watched. the bearer party placed the coffin in the state hearse for the final departure from the capital.

national anthem plays. the streets of central london had been cleared of all traffic, but the pavements were full. the streets of central london had been cleared of all traffic, but the pavements were full. lined with many thousands of spectators who wanted to witness this final journey of their late queen to her beloved windsor castle. the grey of the city gave way to the green fields of berkshire. the long walk leading up to the castle was crowded for as far as the eye could see. the hearse was flanked by footguards with their rifles reversed and accompanied on a rural road by the pipes and drums

and the household cavalry. the hearse made its way up the long walk. in places the crowds were standing 20 or more deep. it was at windsor that the queen could indulge her passion for horses. as the coffin went by, it was watched by emma, one of the ponies she had ridden in recent years. as the hearse entered the main quadrangle of the castle, two of the queen's corgis had been brought out by the queen's staff. watching the coffin�*s arrival at the castle, the king and other members of the family.

in st george's chapel, a congregation of people who had known or worked for the queen had gathered for the committal service. this is the chapel she had known as a girl, where she had worshipped as an adult, and where now she will be buried. the queen's coffin was placed on the catafalque. the dean of windsor spoke of her uncomplicated christian faith, and her reassuring presence. in the midst of our rapidly changing and frequently troubled world, her calm and dignified presence has given us confidence to face the future, as she did, with courage and with hope.

at the conclusion of the service, the instruments of state, the imperial state crown, the orb and the sceptre, which had been presented to the queen at her coronation, were removed from the coffin and placed on the high altar. with the king watching, the lord chamberlain, the most senior official in the royal household, broke his wand, the symbol of his authority, to signify the end of a reign and placed it on the coffin. go forth upon thyjourney from this world, 0, christian soul. in the name of god the father almighty, who created thee. in the name ofjesus christ, who suffered for thee. in the name of the holy spirit

who strengtheneth thee. the public lamentation for the life and reign of elizabeth ii was coming to a close. it was time for the world to draw back, to leave her, finally, to herfamily, for her burial this evening in a small side chapel alongside her late husband. nicholas witchell, bbc news. among those invited to the queen's funeral were almost 200 people who were recognised in her birthday honours list this year. one of those is stuart mclellan who works for the scottish ambulance service. he was awarded an mbe this year for his lifesaving work. he told me how it felt to be at westminster abbey. he told me how it felt to be at westminster abbey. yes, it was a pretty surreal experience, to be fair,

to be part of a historic moment like that. i never imagined i would have witnessed i've witnessed today. incredible to be part of the queens funeral down at westminster abbey today. how did you get the invitation and why? last week i received a phone call, myself, and ross nelson, who co—founded the first responders group and were first recipients of an mbe in the queens honours injune and we got a phone call to go to the state funeral today as one of the last recipients. i want to imagine where you were. who are you sitting next to? who and what could you see? it was everything. we had incredible seats and it's the first time i've ever been in westminster abbey, to be fair. world leaders and everyone from the commonwealth countries coming in the entrance, walking straight past the front of us. we had excellent seats to see everything and take

everything in about us, which was fantastic. you have not yet received your mbe. i guess you won't know, injanuary, you go to the palace and you won't know who is presiding over the investiture but it's quite possible that you've been given an mbe by the queen and might receive it from the king. from the king, yes. it is a possibility. we are due to go to holyrood in the middle ofjanuary and that will be another incredible moment and possibly the king, like you say. talk to me about the scottish element of what we've seen today. we just saw in the report the pipers lament and i think that got a lot of people, the piper walking away at the end. yes, absolutely. everything, from the organisers, the amount of work that has gone into today's state funeral

and i know the queen was heavily involved and everything went incredibly well, the soldiers, the ceremonial stuff, the westminster abbey staff, the music, everything was perfect. such a nice touch from all over the devolved nations. it was incredible. when you look back on this most special of days, what will you remember most? it's a lot to take in and i've onlyjust arrived in the last half an hour back in glasgow and it's been a very, very busy day butjust taking it in over the next couple of days and being a part of that and witnessing everybody coming together to celebrate the life of her majesty the queen, 70 years of her reign, and i've never known the monarchy other than having the queen so itjust will be different. it will be something to look back on. stuart mclellan of the scottish ambulance service, talking to me earlier. a private ceremony took place in windsor, tonight, as the queen was finally laid to rest.

earlier the famous long walk was packed, with thousands of peoplejoining members of the armed forces to watch her final journey into the castle. my colleague reeta chakrabarti has been out among the crowds today, as windsor remembered its most famous resident. the view from the long walk, recorded by thousands of devotees. this was not a crowd of world leaders or dignitaries but of ordinary people who came to say goodbye. i've been quite emotional through most of it, actually, to tell you the truth. which is generally not me, so... and you. yeah, absolutely, yeah. yeah, wejust had to come up to witness it, like. it made me feel very- emotional, but it was nice to see her come home - and to say my final goodbye. and she will be with - philip soon, won't she? so they'll be together. earlier in the day, a different

mood prevailed, of anticipation and even festivity. some had evidently been here for hours, but young, and not so young, were all here say farewell. the peabody family from northamptonshire were passing the time. they wouldn't have been anywhere else. wouldn't have missed it for the world. the queen has done so much for great britain and the world, and we just needed to be here and ensure that we could pay our respects to her, as probably half of the uk, and half of the world will be doing today. just a tremendous honour to be here. pipes and drums headmistress rhian thornton camped out overnight, even though she didn't have far to come. i live in windsor. i work at the school at upton, just over there, so we've got a little group of upton families here, all here together. we used to wave to the queen on her way to royal ascot,

as a school, so i wanted to just come and wave one last time, for myself. many others came from far afield. we got here at ten o'clock last night, so we have been here all night. hadia miller and family travelled all the way from yorkshire. it is great how we all come together as a nation. something bonding. i think we are all in quite high spirits today, at the moment, but the mood will definitely change later. and it did. solemnity and tears, and then the two—minute silence. applause as the procession with the hearse went past, applause rippled up the long walk, with people showing their appreciation in the simplest way. it was quiet but there was deep emotion, too. it's wonderful to be here with so many people from all over the country, and to pay ourfinal respects to the queen,

her final long walk. so many reasons to be here — community, commemoration, and straightforward affection, a day that no one here will ever forget. reeta chakrabarti, bbc news, windsor. the funeral was attended by more than 2,000 people which included heads of state from around the world as well as foreign royalty. aside from the security challenges, the day also brought some diplomatic sensitivities. 0ur diplomatic correspondent james landale reports on the biggest gathering of world leaders in a single place in living memory. as the king's car passed by the many commonwealth flags en route to the abbey, it was clear this funeral transcended national borders. she was, one biographer wrote, queen of the world. and today's symbols and service bore witness to that truth. political leaders may have flown in from all corners

of the world, but their last journey was by bus. rarely have so many african leaders shared an outing quite like this. but there were too many of them to come by car, so they came together and queued together. in they came, some 500 foreign dignitaries in all, including about 100 heads of state and government. from north america, the president of the united states, joe biden, and his wife. they did not take the bus. and justin trudeau, the prime minister of canada, who did. he first met the queen when he was just a boy. from europe came president macron, who had spoken so warmly of french affection for the queen. and kings and queens from across the continent, from spain to sweden, norway to the netherlands. there were leaders, too, from the other side of the world —

from new zealand and australia and many of the pacific isles. from africa, a long line of statesmen and women, especially from the commonwealth — the international organisation the queen shaped and nurtured. choir sings. and it was on the commonwealth that so many prayers dwelt. with gratitude, we remember her unswerving commitment to a high calling over so many years as queen and head of the commonwealth. let us give thanks for queen elizabeth's commitment to the commonwealth throughout her reign. then, as the service ended, it was time for the foreign guests to get back to their queues and their buses. and yes, that is the king

and queen of spain waiting in line like the rest. meanwhile, the queen's often processed up the mall, escorted by mounties from a country she liked to call home, and an array of service men and women from across the commonwealth — the body to which she had devoted her life and which, today, in return, honoured her memory. james landale, bbc news. the morning papers in the uk are full of photographs from the big day and the daily mail has a souvenir edition, 120 pages and on the front, the headline and a picture of her coffin being lowered into the vault at st george's chapel and on the front of the daily express, god rest our queen, andrew sue the eight pallbearers from the queen's company, grenadier regiment. ——

and there you see. and tonight on the outside of the building i am broadcasting to you from is the face of the queen. hello. after the rather chilly weather of the weekend, and a lot of cloud for many of us on monday, the next couple of days will bring something warmer and potentially sunnier, for a time before the rain arrives later in the week. the high pressure is still in charge for now. it is working its way eastwards. and as it does so, we will start to get into these south—westerly winds bringing warmer air northwards across the uk. many of us are starting tuesday morning with extensive cloud, cloud picking up across parts of north—west scotland, northern ireland, to bring some list and hill fog and some spots of light, patchy rain, but we will see some sunny spells for eastern scotland, eastern counties of northern ireland and some sunny spells for england and wales,

the best of that in west wales and the south—west of england. in fact, the south—west of england is where we saw the lion's share of the sunshine on monday. temperatures between 16—20 celsius, so it will feel a little warmer than it has of late. during tuesday night, a lot of cloud will tend to break up. we will see some fog patches developing, some patchy rain into the north—west of scotland and temperatures will be dependent on the amount of cloud we see. it could get a little bit chilly under any clear skies. into wednesday, we should see a bit more in the ray of sunshine, certainly some good spells of sunshine across england and wales, eastern counties of northern ireland and the good part of scotland, to the north—west of scotland and the north—west of northern ireland, you will see some thicker cloud and some splashes of rain once again. temperatures 19 celsius for aberdeen, perhaps up to 21 in norwich and in london. for thursday, southern and eastern areas will continue to see some sunny spells and some warmth, but, this band of rain pushing in from the north—west, some of that rain will be heavy. some quite brisk winds

with that, too, and behind it, things start to feel a little cooler once again. and as we look towards the end of the week, this band of rain, this frontal system will sink southwards and eastwards and it will develop something of a wave that will become white slow—moving across southern counties but, as that weather front does eventually clear, it will leave us with some slightly cooler conditions once again. so through friday we will see rain pushing southwards. some of that could be heavy of the uk, and the weekend will be a little bit cooler but often, it will be dry.

as queen elizabeth ii's coffin arrived at windsor castle — her childhood home and final resting place. the breaking of the wand by the lord chamberlain symbolised the official end of queen elizabeth ii's reign. the late queen's coffin was lowered into the royal vault — and interred next to her husband, the duke of edinburgh. queen elizabeth has made herfinaljourney from london to windsor — and has been buried with her late husband, the duke of edinburgh. it follows a day of the highest ceremony — not seen in this country for nearly 60 years — mixed with private sorrow as the state funeral was held in westminster abbey,

the building in which queen elizabeth was married, and crowned. king charles, along with other members of the royal family, walked behind her coffin as it was taken into the abbey from westminster hall where it had been lying in state. we start with our royal correspondent nicholas witchell, on the state funeral of queen elizabeth. on a clear morning in september, the world focused its attention on london for the grandest and most solemn of events. for a revered monarch who had reigned longer than any other, all the honours of a state funeral. within westminster abbey, where great moments of history have been staged for more than 1,000 years, the leaders of many nations came together to pay their tributes.

macron from france, biden from the united states, trudeau from canada, and scores of others. theyjoined political leaders from the nations of the united kingdom, all the living british prime ministers, faith leaders, charity workers and citizens at a moment in the nation's affairs when rank took second place to the desire to pay respect. to the tolling of a single bell, the bearer party from the grenadier guards brought the queen's coffin from westminster hall to place it on the gun carriage. at 10.45 the order was given for the cortege to step off.

walking behind the coffin, the king, his sister, the princess royal, his two brothers, the duke of york and the earl of wessex, behind them, the prince of wales and his brother, the duke of sussex. from the palace of westminster, around parliament square and into broad sanctuary, the gun carriage was drawn by 142 members of the royal navy. they brought it to the great west door of the abbey church, where, as a young princess, elizabeth had been married and later crowned as sovereign.

as the coffin was borne up the abbey's central aisle, among the family members walking behind, two small figures. prince george and princess charlotte, aged nine and seven respectively, attending this most solemn of state occasions. 0n the coffin, a wreath, with rosemary for remembrance, myrtle, the symbol of a happy marriage, and english oak, symbolising the strength of love. and a card hand—written by the king, "in loving and devoted memory, charles r." in profound thanksgiving, we come to this house of god. we gather from across the nation, from the commonwealth and from the nations of the world to mourn our loss, to remember her long life of selfless service.

# the lord's my shepherd, i'll not want #. _ # he lays me down to lie...# all the music and readings had been approved by the queen herself. they included a hymn sung at her wedding. in his sermon, the archbishop of canterbury spoke of a life devoted to duty. people of loving service are rare in any walk of life. leaders of loving service are still rarer. but in all cases, those who serve will be loved and remembered, when those who cling to power and privileges are long forgotten.

the grief of this day, felt not only by the late queen's family, but all round the nation, the commonwealth and the world, arises from her abundant life and loving service now gone from us. after prayers, the sounding of the last post and a two—minute silence. # god save our gracious king # long live our noble king

# god save our king #. the national anthem was sung and the coffin was borne from the abbey on the shoulders of the grenadier guards. as the funeral procession set off through the wide streets of ceremonial london that she knew so well, a gun salute was fired in hyde park. the procession was led by the royal canadian mounted police,

canada the commonwealth country she visited more than any other. it included military detachments from across the commonwealth, recipients of the victoria and george crosses and health workers from the nhs. the gun carriage was drawn up whitehall and past the cenotaph where the standards of the royal british legion following behind the cortege in a vehicle, george and charlotte with their mother and the queen consort.

the procession stretched the length of the mall and beyond. it brought the gun carriage to buckingham palace, past the balcony where she'd first appeared in 1927 at the age of one, and where she'd been seen most recently during her platinum jubilee. ..to wellington arch, close to her childhood home on piccadilly.

national anthem plays the streets of central london had been cleared of all traffic, but the pavements were full. lined with many thousands of spectators who wanted to witness this final journey of their late queen to her beloved windsor castle. the grey of the city gave way to the green fields of berkshire. the long walk leading up to the castle was crowded for as far as the eye could see. the hearse was flanked by footguards with their rifles reversed and accompanied on a rural road

by the pipes and drums and the household cavalry. the hearse made its way up the long walk. in places the crowds were standing 20 or more deep. it was at windsor that the queen could indulge her passion for horses. as the coffin went by, it was watched by emma, one of the ponies she had ridden in recent years. as the hearse entered the main quadrangle of the castle, two of the queen's corgis had been brought out by the queen's staff. watching the coffin's arrival at the castle,

in st george's chapel, a congregation of people who had known or worked for the queen had gathered for the committal service. this is the chapel she had known as a girl, where she had worshipped as an adult, and where now she will be buried. the queen's coffin was placed on the catafalque. the dean of windsor spoke of her uncomplicated christian faith, and her reassuring presence. in the midst of our rapidly changing and frequently troubled world, her calm

and dignified presence has given us confidence to face the future, as she did, with courage and with hope. at the conclusion of the service, the instruments of state, the imperial state crown, the orb and the sceptre, which had been presented to the queen at her coronation, were removed from the coffin and placed on the high altar. with the king watching, the lord chamberlain, the most senior official in the royal household, broke his wand, the symbol of his authority, to signify the end of a reign and placed it on the coffin. go forth upon thyjourney from this world, 0, christian soul. in the name of god the father almighty, who created thee.

in the name ofjesus christ, who suffered for thee. in the name of the holy spirit who strengtheneth thee. the public lamentation for the life and reign of elizabeth ii was coming to a close. it was time for the world to draw back, to leave her, finally, to herfamily, for her burial this evening in a small side chapel alongside her late husband. nicholas witchell, bbc news. as nick was saying in his report, the funeral itself, that was attended by around 2000 people, among them heads of state from around the world as well as foreign royalty. 0ur diplomatic correspondent james landale reports on the biggest gathering of world leaders in a single place in living memory. as the king guard passed by,

the many commonwealth flags en route to the abbey, it was clear that the funeral had transcended national borders. she was, one biographer rd, queen of the world. and today's symbols and service bore witness to the truth. political leaders may have thrown from all corners of the world, but the lastjenny watson bus. rarely can have so many african leaders shed an outing like this. —— lossjourney. there were too many to come by car so they have come together and queued together. in they came, some 500 foreign dignitaries in all, including about 100 heads of state and government. from north america, the president of the united states, joe biden, and his wife, they didn't take the bus. and justin trudeau, the bus. and justin trudeau, the prime minister of canada, who did. he first met the queen when he wasjust who did. he first met the queen when he was just a boy. who did. he first met the queen when he wasjust a boy. from europe, came president macron,

is made of it. and spencer meets the man behind an icon. this is your baby. but as the ipod is laid to rest for good, we meet the robots built to break down your iphone. and also, cats — big ones. a giant redwood — the largest tree on earth. and this one's been laser—scanned with lidar technology, capturing a sense of the endangered species so viewers don't have to physically visit california's sequoia national park to be inspired. it's beautiful. this digital art exhibition at london's barbican centre aims to get more people thinking about the interconnectedness of humans and nature, the materials we use in day—to—day design, and how to build cities

that are fit for the future. at a time of extreme climate crisis, we've got to consider all of these things if we're going to avoid an apocalyptic fate. this is one of the more controversial... the digital technology we have can create a sense of awe, a sense of wonder and a sense of playfulness, but, ultimately, it can ignite hope and ignite a sense of courage to enact change. what are we doing here? so, this is, essentially, us dissipating into particles. we're looking at our identity through the lens of fluid ecology. you've done this before, you're more flowery now than me. i've got that growth energy going on, yeah. i remember my old drama classes where they said, "pretend you're a tree." now i don't have to do those classes any more. immersive media that transports us in size and place lets us play games with the elements and see our surroundings differently

is not only a joy to experience, but could help us rethink a world in which sustainability must come first. i'm also here to meet the man behind some of apple's most iconic devices. first, though, paul carter's been to the netherlands to look at a new way to try and make sure that these things don't keep piling up in the back of your drawer. it's estimated that the amount of e—waste generated last year was over 57 million tonnes, and that figure is set to increase year on year. although phone recycling is on the rise, the majority of handsets still end up in landfill. traditional methods of recycling phones generally involve shredding them in industrial machines and then sifting them to remove the precious metals or reusable material. but apple, who produced over 200 million iphones last year, has devised a modern way of recovering the materials, and they let me in

to have a look. most of us are now quite used to the idea of recycling our phones when they reach the end of their life. but if you're anything like me, you probably don't think too much about what happens to them once you send them away. here, at a secret location in the netherlands, apple have created daisy, this robot behind me. and it takes the process of recycling these things to a whole new level. let's give it a go. daisy can completely deconstruct an entire iphone from start to finish in undera minute. the product travels through four modules. the first step separates the display from the iphone. what's happening behind me is the removal of the batteries. and to do that, it's using really cold air — —70 degrees celsius — to actually stop the adhesive from working so the battery can be taken out. it's pretty cool.

afterwards, the screws are taken out, before all the different components are separated by the machine. all individual bits and pieces land here to then be sorted by a human. most modern smartphones contain as many as 30 elements and rare earth materials, including cobalt, tungsten, gold and tin. and the world economic forum has warned that some elements may be completely depleted in 100 years. apple claims that new methods of recycling phones, like daisy, could help recover more of these metals from end—of—life phones, and that its products contain more recycled materials than ever before. rare earth elements and metals require extensive mining with considerable environmental, social and political impacts. our goal is to make all of our products using only recycled or renewable material. daisy is helping us with that — she can do 23 models of iphone, she can do 2.4 million units a year,

and all of that means more material going back around a circular supply chain so, ultimately, we can end our reliance on mining. daisy concentrates on 14 key materials which would otherwise be extracted from the earth, from the rare earth magnets to the aluminium in the housing. if you take, for example, the main logic boards, the cameras and the flexes, one tonne of that has the same amount of material that we'd have to mine 2,000 tonnes of new material to get to, so it's quite important and also it's much lower carbon. but it's notjust about recovering the materials, but crucially, getting them back at a purity where they can be used again. the brute force traditional methods of recycling can degrade the recovered materials or miss them entirely, meaning they can end up in landfill, causing pollution and environmental damage. perhaps, though, the most sustainable solution of all would be reducing the volume of e—waste we create in the first place. paul there, in the netherlands,

looking at ways to reduce our e—waste. later in the show, spencer will be talking more about sustainability with the co—creator of the ipod. now, here in the uk, conservationists are also seeking to protect the earth and the joy of living things on it. they've gone for a rest in the shade. my daughter's favourite, i had to come and see them for her. london zoo's best known for protecting endangered animals. there are over 750 different species here. think you might be able to hear one of them behind me! but today, i'm taking a leafier approach. i'm going to sow some seeds with my smartphone. this is the eiwaz tree of life app. your mission — to plant a virtual tree. ok, so i need to find a big space — that hits sorted. scan your surroundings and digital branches unfurl in augmented reality. oh, wow, there's a tree.

a big tree. and a series of mini games plays out. oh, no, it's on fire. all to unlock your very own digital seed. a heart is drifting to the ground, and tap to grow. you can design and snap pictures of your own creations too. 0oh, i can change the colour of my tree! but this isn't just for fun. the app also tells you where in the world a real tree is going to be planted on your behalf, giving impact and carbon information. and to mark the moment, you could always rope in a friend to take a video of you under the ar branches. the app's creator believes that this intersection of art, technology and science can inspire real change. martine, tell me about the technical process behind the ar app. eiwaz tree of life was essentially made by drones

3d—scanning an ash tree, and then we put it through the processing software photogrammetry, and then that essentially takes the 2d photos and makes it into a 3d asset. add to that some virtual sculpting and gameplay developed on unity, and you get an exciting interactive experiment. the essence of this is that i want to empower people, i want them to feel that they're part of the solution and they're part of a greater movement in a battle for nature. martine has sourced donations to grow 200,000 trees. 140,000 of these will be earthed in the philippines, which has lost 50% of its mangroves. the mangroves are - biodiversity superstars. they provide nursery grounds for local species. _ they are vital stocks of fisheries - and income for communities. they protect coastlines from damaging floodsl and storm surges, and they also lock vast amounts

of carbon into the ground. - replenishing this kind of natural resource is vital, even if trees aren't cute or fluffy. animals are great ambassadors for conservation. _ i'm standing here in front of our penguin exhibits, i which are always i incredibly popular. however, conservation can be quite an abstract notion. - we can be asking people to care about things - that are many thousandsl of miles away from them. people are engaging more and more - with the climate crisis in particular, - and looking to restore whole ecosystems, i and that's really. where our focus is. markers like this one in london zoo are designed to grab the attention of passers—by, and portals have popped up in cities including 0slo, copenhagen and at the world expo in dubai, although you can play anywhere through the app. this project isn't going to fix climate change overnight, but it was certainly fun getting my digitalfingers green. that looks less like a real tree... 0r whatever other colours i fancied.

that looks spooky. 0k, time for this week's tech round—up now, and first up, it's official — ads are coming to netflix. yep, co—ceo ted sarandos has announced the streaming giant will begin testing a new cheaper tariff option which you can use if you don't mind some commercials popping up while you watch your favourite shows. medical students at the university of cambridge are taking part in what the uni says is a world first — treating holographic patients. through the use of an augmented reality headset, the students are learning by practising on virtual people. it feels very much more that you're connected to the scenario. and when you feel the patient, you see their neck muscles straining, and the way they're breathing, the trained eye of a doctor will tell a lot from how a patient�*s chest rises and falls, and we spend a lot of time trying to get that exactly right. nasa has launched its first rocket

from a commercial spaceport outside the united states. it hopes the sub—orbital rocket launched from australia will enable astrophysics studies that can only take place in the southern hemisphere. and after taking me for a spin last year, paralysed racing driver sam schmidt has broken new ground by being the first person ever to complete the hill climb at the goodwood festival of speed using only head movements and breath to drive. he achieved the feat in his modified mclaren that uses infra—red cameras and a breath—measuring device. i'm at the barbican in london to meet tony fadell, the co—creator of one of apple's biggest icons, which has recently been decommissioned after 20 years. can we have a moment of silence, please, for the ipod? this is your baby. it is. how do you feel about it? oh, it's obviously sad to see an old friend go, but at the end of the day, you know,

technology marches on. without the ipod, the modern—day apple wouldn't exist, and the iphone, i don't think, would have ever existed if the ipod didn't. was there any consideration for the green credentials of these devices — the disposability, the renewability of these things — was that even on the table back then? no, it wasn't really highly considered by any means. of course, it wasn't just, go trash things, but at the same time, it's very different now. do you think we have reached a turning point now, where companies are more aware, and in fact, it might be good to market something that can last a few years? you know, the iphone i have in my pocket is not the latest one. you don't have to necessarily ship new hardware. in fact, it might be actually more profitable for the company to ship a lot more services on the same piece of hardware. what we should be seeing is more subscription—based devices, and you get a new version of the device when the company thinks you need it. maybe it's the right thing to do for the environment, maybe for the customer as well. what's the next big idea?

i think when we look at our existential problems on this planet, there are so many ideas that need to be brought to life. something like the hydrogen economy. we can use hydrogen to make all kinds of materials, and make them much more climate—friendly. and actually for business, they're actually better for business, you can make more money. agriculture, materials, transportation — we should be using all of the technology to revolutionise those, some of the biggest polluters on the planet. now all we have to do is convince big oil. but, for his part, fadell heads a fund that's made dozens of climate investments. although he's notjust focused on this world. virtual reality — discuss. you can make shoes, you can make furniture, homes, what have you. it is the first way to truly break the 2d barrier, to 3d. so, fadell is backing virtual collaboration, though the metaverse at large doesn't quite have him convinced. some people are trying to trap

us in these kinds of headsets. it's a place where you're going to go socialise, where we're going to dance, we're all going to turn into cartoon characters, we'll never even see each other�*s eyes. is that a problem we really need to solve? i don't think so. let's park zuckerberg's vision for a moment, then, and ask tony instead about apple's biggest visionary. steve moved the whole smartphone industry. yes, i'd like to order 4,000 lattes to go, please. no, just kidding! the great thing about steve was he never projected himself as a real expert of any one thing. so there was some humility there — it wasn'tjust about, i know everything and i'm right all the time? absolutely not — he had strong opinions, but sometimes they were weakly held, if we brought in data or other things to show him that there was a different way. and since stevejobs, the biggest personality in tech surely now has to be this guy. hope you like what you see. but what does fadell make of him?

without the personalities, without the passion, without the drive, you wouldn't see the ev revolution that we're having. you need these personalities that people can really resonate with. that was tony fadell, who is admittedly a bit of a character himself, and he's not the only one who believes that big tech can clean up. adrienne murray's been finding out more in denmark. each time we upload a selfie, chat online or stream a video, we're transmitting data to and from a server, and all those files we store virtually in the cloud, well, there's a physical backbone, keeping it all running smoothly — a datacentre. this hyperscale facility on the outskirts of 0dense in denmark is among a growing number found in the cooler nordic countries. and here, how our internet

use is actually helping to warm people's homes. this is one of our servers. and if you feel underneath it's quite... it's really hot. datacentres are all over europe, providing services for all our applications, facebook, instagram, whatsapp, messenger, etc. it is pictures, videos, stories, all of that. all these servers are running 24/7, and keeping them ticking over requires huge amounts of energy. but they also produce a lot of heat. at many data centres, the heat given off is lost or wasted. here, the hot air is trapped behind the servers and then it's put to use. it really is much warmer in here, it's like stepping inside a sauna. what happens to the heat that's coming off these servers?

so the heat goes up to the roof where we have some cooling units. when it reaches the rooftop, the hot air flows through almost 200 heat exchangers. oh, gosh. that's really windy. we are getting cold water from a district heating system from the city, and then we give them warm water back. it is a heat exchange, so you take one warm element and then one cold element, and you actually exchange the heat and warmth. residual cool air is left over from this process and that's used to help cool all those hot servers. across the road is a pump station. all these different coloured pipes are carrying water. as you might have guessed, red is hot and blue is cold. so right here, we have the heat pumps where we elevate the heat. so when we receive it, it's only 27 degrees celsius. but we need it to elevate it

to 70 degrees to put it in this district heating grid. district heating is a community—wide heating system that's common in scandinavia. in 0dense, which is the third largest city in denmark, we have about 200,000 inhabitants. that's about 100,000 households. and this plant can actually provide heat for more than 10% of these customers. hello, welcome. hi, thank you. long—time resident hans erik is one of them. what do you get as part of the district heating? it's water, it's heating, it's everything with hot water. you don't have to have a boiler. _ it's coming out of the pipes. every household has a meter, and then you pay for what you use. what do you make of the fact that the surplus heat from the datacentre is now also providing heat to homes in the area? i mean, the heat is there.

either you give it to the birds or you make use of it in our households. other nordic countries like sweden have also embraced the idea of warming homes with recycled heat. and in finland, microsoft and energy firm fortum are now planning the world's biggest project of this kind. that was adrienne in denmark. but these companies aren't the only ones considering how our buildings could become more sustainable. this is recycled concrete. the idea is that that'll be the basis of kind of almost a whole ecosystem. my name is martyn dada—robertson, i'm professor of emerging technology at newcastle university. we're sitting in the 0me, which is an experimental house where we're developing a new generation of building technologies. the way that we build isn't sustainable — it's polluting, it uses high amounts of energy, and that

really needs to be addressed if we're to live sustainably. just behind me is one of the most significant pieces of biotechnology that we have. it's a structure that is initially knitted, grown with a root network of fungus we call mycelium. this is black fabric, - and the white that you're seeing is all the mycelium. it is, in a sense, mould in here, or at least what some people think of as being mould. this is a case where we could replace, say, a cement with a biological process instead. this is quite nice, the way you can see the cellulose. it's not a stained glass window, it's a stained cellulose window. it looks like a kind of skin. in our different labs, we're growing different materials. but in relationship to digital technologies as well. we're developing a robot arm to control the way that materials are deposited in three dimensions. we're also developing our own machine that looks a little

bit like a 3d printer. the main kind of fermentation will be happening here. - the pumps will be located here. it allows us to program the material for different outcomes and different material properties. imagine the construction of a wall. you've got your bricks, which are cemented together, often you have insulation material, you have your plasterboard inside. we want to do that in one step. the wall might be able to respond to light by thickening, maybe giving greater insulation or reducing insulation, maybe allow a building to sweat in the way that skin does. that will mean that servicing our buildings are not as heavy, because we don't have to make use of heating and ventilation quite as much. we use all kinds of different computational models that are key to the research that we do. often, they're modelling the way in which our biological systems will respond to different environments. we're even thinking about the soil beneath our houses.

the idea is that the bacteria can detect the load on the soils and make crystals that will make the soil stronger. we're not using polluting concrete, and moving the land is a very energy—intensive process _ artificial intelligence might give us a way to discover these new biologies and processes that we can't, as human beings, on our own, work out. some of our technologies are quite near—future. i can see mycelium, for example, being part of our built environment actually very quickly. this feels really, really solid. some of the work in engineered living materials is decades and decades away. there are lots of technical challenges, but also the construction industry is very conservative, so persuading people that this is the future is going to take a lot of validation and effort. sustainability calls for transformational technologies that will change the way that we live. we've had the digital revolution, but we see

ourselves as heading up a biological revolution. that sense that we're at the frontier of a completely new science and technology is really exciting. some great ideas there, although some of it did look a little bit unusual, i'm not quite sure that it would fit in with my decor. whilst that's all we've got time for this week, i think i'll stick around for a wander. they know how to do it — slower pace of life. hello, after the rather chilly weather of the weekend, and a lot of cloud for many

of us on monday, the next couple of days will bring something warmer and potentially sunnier, for a time before the rain arrives later in the week. high pressure is still in charge for now. it is working its way eastwards. and as it does so, we will start to get into these south—westerly winds bringing warmer air northwards across the uk. many of us are starting tuesday morning with extensive cloud, cloud picking up across parts of north—west scotland, northern ireland, to bring some mist and hill fog and some spots of light, patchy rain, but we will see some sunny spells for eastern scotland, eastern counties of northern ireland and some sunny spells for england and wales, the best of that in west wales and the south—west of england. in fact, the south—west of england is where we saw the lion's share of the sunshine on monday. temperatures between 16—20 celsius, so it will feel a little warmer than it has of late. during tuesday night, a lot of cloud will tend to break up. we will see some fog patches developing, some patchy rain into the north—west of scotland

and temperatures will be dependent on the amount of cloud we see. it could get a little bit chilly under any clear skies. into wednesday, we should see a bit more in the ray a bit more in the way of sunshine, certainly some good spells of sunshine across england and wales, eastern counties of northern ireland and a good part of scotland, to the north—west of scotland and the north—west of northern ireland, you will see some thicker cloud and some splashes of rain once again. temperatures, 19 celsius for aberdeen, perhaps up to 21 in norwich and in london. for thursday, southern and eastern areas will continue to see some sunny spells and some warmth, but, this band of rain pushing in from the north—west, some of that rain will be heavy. some quite brisk winds with that, too, and behind it, things start to feel a little cooler once again. and as we look towards the end of the week, this band of rain, this frontal system will sink southwards and eastwards and it will develop something of a wave that will become quite slow—moving across southern counties but, as that weather front does

eventually clear, it will leave us with some slightly cooler conditions once again. so through friday we will see rain pushing southwards. some of that could be heavy in the south of the uk, and the weekend will be a little bit cooler

had been cleared of all traffic but the pavements were full. lined with many thousands of spectators who wanted to witness this final journey of her late queen to her beloved windsor castle. the grey of the city gave way to the green fields of berks. the long walk leading up to the castle was crowded for as far as the eye could see. the hearse was flanked by foot guards with their rifles reversed and accompanied on a rural road by the pipes and drums and the household calvary. the hearse made its way up the long walk. in places, the crowds were standing 20 or more deep. it

it's made me feel very- emotional, but it was nice to see her come home - and to say my final goodbye. and she'll be with - philip soon, won't she? so they'll be together. earlier in the day, a different mood prevailed, of anticipation and even festivity. some had evidently been here for hours, but young, and not so young, were all here say farewell. the peabody family from northamptonshire were passing the time. and wouldn't have been anywhere else. wouldn't have missed it for the world. the queen has done so much for great britain and the world, and we just needed to be here and ensure that we could pay our respects to her, as probably half of the uk, and half of the world will be doing today. just a tremendous honour to be here. pipes and drums headmistress rhian thornton camped out overnight, even though she didn't have far to come.

i live in windsor. i work at the school at upton, just over there, so we've got a little group of upton families here, all here together. we used to wave to the queen on her way to royal ascot, as a school, so i wanted to just come and wave one last time, for myself. many others came from far afield. we got here at ten o'clock last night, so we've been here all night. hadia miller and family travelled all the way from yorkshire. it's great how we all come together as a nation. something bonding. i think we are all in quite high spirits today, at the moment, but the mood will definitely change later. and it did. solemnity and tears, and then the two—minute silence. applause as the procession with the hearse went past, applause rippled up the long walk, with people showing their appreciation

in the simplest way. it was quiet but there was deep emotion, too. it's wonderful to be here with so many people from all over the country, and to pay our final respects to the queen, herfinal long walk. so many reasons to be here — community, commemoration, and straightforward affection, a day that no—one here will ever forget. reeta chakrabarti, bbc news, windsor. extraordinary day. extraordinary day. extraordinary day. extraordinary couple of extraordinary day. extraordinary day. extraordinary couple of weeks. plenty more on our website on the day's historic events, including some of the most remarkable images from the queen's funeral, that's on bbc.com/news. among the mourners in the streets were many military veterans. for those who have served in the army, the royal navy or the royal air force, the queen was their commander—in—chief. and many wanted to be present to say their farewells.

our special correspondent fergal keane has been speaking to veterans about what the queen meant to them. once, he was a soldier... ..and today mark taylor said goodbye to his commander—in—chief. he's a veteran of kosovo and iraq. he came home from war with post—traumatic stress disorder. thinking of all my, you know, mates that i've lost, family that i've lost. yeah, just brings it all to a head and... but, yeah, proud to have served. definitely.

proud to have served. there were veterans from across the services. the faces of wars fought in the queen's long reign. and of those who served when she was a princess. like robin rowland, now 100. he fought in the jungles of burma in world war ii. i was glad to be given a job which involved fighting in the front line and fighting along with my colleagues. she has made her subjects look at themselves and if there's anything to be done which has a right and wrong way of doing

it, she has taught them to do the right thing at the right time and she has endeavoured to tell them what service means and giving yourself to the task in hand. but in war, obeying the call to duty is so often the story of the young who do not come home. watching today's funeral, tony and sandy lewis. their 22—year—old son conrad was killed in afghanistan in 2011. these funeral rites evoking memories of a dead boy.

conrad would have been delighted to have been there. but equally was delighted to have pledged his allegiance to the then queen elizabeth. i don'tjust think of my family but i think of all those and especially all of those families that were bereaved in afghanistan. in this way, present grief summoned the memory of older sacrifice. choir sings fergal keane, bbc news, at the cenotaph.

yes, and military perspectives from home, if they can put it that way. people around the world have also been marking the day in their own ways. 0ur chief international correspondent lyse doucet joined one family in canada. early in ottawa they mourn their monarch. watching her funeral unfold far away, a bond deep in their hearts. i think it's very special for us because we saw herjust weeks ago and she looked so well. you know, we were looking forward to seeing her again. bethany bisaillion leads the sons of scotland pipe band. just last month, they played for the queen at balmoral castle. they played for her five times. and in canada's capital, the corgi club also

joined the parade. another bond with their late queen. events like this highlight what drew so many to the queen. her passions, her personality, but even in this mourning for a monarch, the conversations are already starting about the future of the monarchy, in canada and across the commonwealth. but this is a day which draws the world together, watching the queen being laid to rest. in the evening, in pubs in australia, in the early morning in washington bars. in hong kong, flowers were still being laid. and prayers offered in nepal. tributes to the world's most famous female leader. in paris they even named a metro station in her majesty's memory.

amazing grace. in 0ttawa today, there is a national commemorative ceremony at christ church cathedral. this is the last rehearsal for a last farewell. ijust think it is very important that we are able to honour her memory at this celebration because i think it is something she would have enjoyed very much. during her long reign, queen elizabeth visited this cathedral twice. once the power went out but of course the queen just carried on. lyse doucet, bbc news, 0ttawa. just got time to show you another ported. the bbc�*s tribute, really, this is being protected projected onto the facade of bbc broadcasting house, the old broadcasting

that huge standard, the royal standard of the grenadier guards regiment, carried before the hearse, presented to the grenadier guards by the sovereign at the beginning of her reign, never changed or replaced, the queen's company colour, as it's called. it dominates this procession. it's a huge flag. and standing there on the right of the picture, the queen's pony or horse? emma. when the duke of edinburgh,

at his funeral here, the driving carriage that he used to use was brought out to the quadrangle here from the mews of windsor. the grooms who work in the royal mews. and this black highland, i suspect, pony, emma. come to watch the coffin go past. two of the queen's corgis, like emma the pony, sandy and mick. the queen was famous. i didn't know how many corgis she had. 50 or 60, i think, in her life. oh. that's going. lord.

someone whose uncomplicated yet profound christian faith bore so much fruit. and now the congregation stands in silence as the instruments of state, which were received by the queen at the coronation, are received back by the dean of windsor, who places them on the high altar. the sceptre, which was received by the queen as the ensign of kingly power and justice. the orb, the globe of the world, which she received with the words received this orb set under the cross.

it's made me feel very- emotional, but it was nice to see her come home - and to say my final goodbye. and she'll be with - philip soon, won't she? so they'll be together. earlier in the day, a different mood prevailed, of anticipation and even festivity. some had evidently been here for hours, but young, and not so young, were all here say farewell. the peabody family from northamptonshire were passing the time. and wouldn't have been anywhere else. wouldn't have missed it for the world. the queen has done so much for great britain and the world, and we just needed to be here and ensure that we could pay our respects to her, as probably half of the uk, and half of the world will be doing today. just a tremendous honour to be here. pipes and drums headmistress rhian thornton camped out overnight, even though she didn't

have far to come. i live in windsor. i work at the school at upton, just over there, so we've got a little group of upton families here, all here together. we used to wave to the queen on her way to royal ascot, as a school, so i wanted to just come and wave one last time, for myself. many others came from far afield. we got here at ten o'clock last night, so we've been here all night. hadia miller and family travelled all the way from yorkshire. it's great how we all come together as a nation. something bonding. i think we are all in quite high spirits today, at the moment, but the mood will definitely change later. and it did. solemnity and tears, and then the two—minute silence. applause as the procession with the hearse went past, applause rippled up the long walk, with people showing their appreciation

in the simplest way. it was quiet but there was deep emotion, too. it's wonderful to be here with so many people from all over the country, and to pay our final respects to the queen, herfinal long walk. so many reasons to be here — community, commemoration, and straightforward affection, a day that no—one here will ever forget. reeta chakrabarti, bbc news, windsor. we will have similar reflections for you in just a moment. let's take a look at some other news now. president biden says he would send american troops to defend taiwan if china invaded it. china has been conducting military exercises in the region and has not ruled out the use of force in what it calls the �*reunification' of taiwan with the mainland. the russian—backed separatist authorities in the city of donetsk in eastern ukraine say 13 civilians have been killed by ukrainian shelling.

the city's mayor said two children were among the dead. there's been no comment from ukrainian officials. donetsk has been controlled by russia's proxy authorities since 2014. they have repeatedly accused ukrainian forces of targeting the city. a powerful earthquake has hit central mexico. it shook buildings and sent residents of the capital, mexico city, running onto the streets for safety. the 7.5 magnitude quake triggered a tsunami alert. 0ne death has been reported. a usjudge has overturned the murder conviction of adnan syed, in the latest twist in the high—profile case at the centre of the hit podcast series serial. thejudge in baltimore threw out the 41—year—old's conviction for the murder of his ex—girlfriend hae min lee in 1999. mr syed has been granted a new trial and released from prison. prosecutors say they've uncovered new evidence that undermines the conviction.

more now on our main story, the state funeral of queen elizabeth. gurkhas have served as part of the british army for more than 200 years, and its regiments swear allegiance to the monarch. some took part in the queen's funeral procession. in nepal, british gurkha veterans gathered to pay their respects, as our south asia correspondent yogita limaye reports. thousands of miles from london, beyond the boundaries of faith and nationalities. shared respect for the queen. buddhist monks offered prayers at a monastery in kathmandu... chanting for peace for the queen's soul and for everyone who knew her. major bhim bahadur gurung, a retired british gurkha,

served as the queen's orderly in 1975. today, i got the opportunity to pray for the queen and i wish she rest in peace very lovely, her majesty the queen. with a reign spanning 70 years, some who served her couldn't be here. captain rambahadur limbu is nepal's only living recipient of the victoria cross. his decades of service meant he was invited to the funeral, but he couldn't travel. and so a condolence book was taken by the british ambassador to his home, 250 miles from kathmandu. "i'm deeply saddened the queen's death", he wrote. translation: she used to speak to us like we were part _ of herfamily.

she was soft—spoken and had clarity of thought. a lifetime bond with the queen and her country. nepal's relationship with the british monarchy is quite different compared to most of south asia. it wasn't a colony of the british empire and one of the reasons is the more than 200—year—old agreement that allows gurkhas to serve with the uk military. and even among ordinary people here, we found a lot of affection for the british royal family. 0n the street, we met this man who was eager to talk to us about the funeral. i am very saddened, i respect her. so very many... all my thoughts and prayers are with the british people. so how old were you, sir, when you saw queen elizabeth? i was ten, 15 years of age. one of the millions around the world who have their own memories of the queen. from near and far, today they said goodbye.

amazing grace. in 0ttawa today, there is a national commemorative ceremony at christ church cathedral. this is the last rehearsal for a last farewell. ijust think it is very important that we are able to honour her memory at this celebration because i think it is something she would have enjoyed very much. during her long reign, queen elizabeth visited this cathedral twice. once the power went out but of course the queen just carried on. lyse doucet, bbc news, 0ttawa. needless to say, there is a lot more on our website on what has been a day of historic events in the midst of a fortnight of just extraordinary and unprecedented pictures for you

to peruse that. one of which, actually, we can show to you, because this is the scene live and this is the facade of bbc broadcasting house. you are watching bbc news. hello, after the rather chilly weather of the weekend, and a lot of cloud for many of us on monday, the next couple of days will bring something warmer and potentially sunnier, for a time before the rain arrives later in the week. he high pressure is still in charge for now. it is working its way eastwards. and as it does so, we will start to get into these south—westerly winds bringing warmer air northwards across the uk. many of us are starting tuesday morning with extensive cloud, cloud picking up across parts of north—west scotland, northern ireland, to bring some list and hill fog and some spots of light, patchy rain, but we will see some sunny spells for eastern scotland, eastern counties of northern ireland and some sunny spells for england and wales, the best of that in west wales and the south—west of england. in fact, the south—west of england is where we saw the lion's share of the sunshine on monday. temperatures between 16—20 celsius, so it will feel a little warmer

than it has of late. during tuesday night, a lot of cloud will tend to break up. we will see some fog patches developing, some patchy rain into the north—west of scotland and temperatures will be dependent on the amount of cloud we see. it could get a little bit chilly under any clear skies. into wednesday, we should see a bit more in the ray of sunshine, certainly some good spells of sunshine across england and wales, eastern counties of northern ireland and the good part of scotland, to the north—west of scotland and the north—west of northern ireland, you will see some thicker cloud and some splashes of rain once again. temperatures 19 celsius for aberdeen, perhaps up to 21 in norwich and in london. for thursday, southern and eastern areas will continue to see some sunny spells and some warmth, but, this band of rain pushing in from the north—west, some of that rain will be heavy. some quite brisk winds with that, too, and behind it, things start to feel a little cooler once again. and as we look towards the end of the week, this band of rain, this frontal system will sink

southwards and eastwards and it will develop something of a wave that will become white slow—moving across southern counties but, as that weather front does eventually clear, it will leave us with some slightly cooler conditions once again. so through friday we will see rain pushing southwards. some of that could be heavy of the uk, and the weekend will be a little bit cooler but often, it will be dry.

this is bbc news. the headlines: the state funeral service for queen elizabeth ii at westminster abbey was attended by the royal family and more than 2,000 guests, including hundreds of dignitaries and world leaders. the archbishop of canterbury told the congregation that the late queen had touched a multitude of lives. king charles iii and other members of the royal family walked behind the queen's coffin as it was moved from westminster hall to westminster abbey. hundreds of thousands of people lined the streets of london as the gun carriage bearing the casket made its way through the capital. after a day of sombre

pageantry, a service was held at windsor castle for close relatives of the late monarch. queen elizabeth was laid to rest alongside her husband and otherfamily members in the king george vi memorial chapel at the castle. now on bbc news, hardtalk. stephen sackur speaks to maria pevchikh of the anti—corruption foundation, founded byjailed russian opposition figure alexei navalny. the interview was recorded on 7 september, just hours before navalny said he had been banned from communicating confidentially with his lawyers from prison. welcome to hardtalk. i'm stephen sackur. since vladimir putin launched his all—out invasion of ukraine, he's put a tighter squeeze on russian civil society. criticism of the war

risks years in prison, independent media voices have been silenced, and new punishments have been piled on putin's most prominent political opponent, alexei navalny. my guest is maria pevchikh, investigations chief for navalny�*s anti—corruption foundation, which is now outlawed in russia. where does russia's anti—putin movement go from here? maria pevchikh, welcome to hardtalk. hello. right now, it seems

vladimir putin is intent on crushing all forms of dissent, of opposition inside russia. do you fear that he's succeeding? he's succeeding for now. he's definitely quite good at imposing this fear, you know, complete fear that goes everywhere — the fear that you cannot hide from. but i don't think that this is a sustainable strategy to do what he's doing at the moment. the opposition moods aren't going tojust disappear if you hide everybody in prison — people are still going to think what they think — and i guess eventually, this crackdown will actually backfire on vladimir putin. but fear is a very powerful emotion to instil in a population and, of course, part of that fear is based on messaging, about what happens if you cross red lines and nobody sort of better symbolises what happens

if you cross red lines than your colleague, alexei navalny. now, you've worked with him for a good decade or more in the anti—corruption foundation in russia. he, right now, is languishing in a top security prison in solitary confinement. just begin by telling me what you can of his current condition. absolutely. so, today, he was released from the solitary confinement. it's called a standard housing unit. essentially, it's a punishment cell. you're there on your own, it's tiny — two metres by three metres — and you go there if you've done something wrong. so, he was released this morning and then, within five minutes, he was resentenced to an additional 15 days there, so he was only out for a couple of minutes. and, for the following two weeks, he will be there again in that little cell, where all you do for the whole day is just sit on a stool.

you are allowed to read only one book per term. you're allowed to use paper and a pen for one hour a day, and that's it. you just sit and stare at the wall. you're not even allowed to lay down, to use the bed, because the bed has been chained up to the wall at 6am and it's only being chained down at the end of the day. it's extraordinary to imagine living that life in that cell. does he get any exercise? is he allowed out at any point during the day? well, he is allowed to walk and walk in his cell, next to a cell where he's sat, but that one doesn't have a ceiling. so, you are still among four walls, you still don't really get to see anything, apart from this little tiny patch of sky above you, and that's the walk, that's the exercise, so that's how it works. how does he get messages out? because i follow him on twitter — so do millions of other people... everybody should!

..and those messages emerge but he, clearly, does not have any access to communications or a phone, so who's writing these messages? he's writing those messages but he hand writes them and he passes them on through his lawyers and then, we just type them up. so, we would never write anything instead of him. his social media is still entirely managed by himself. he is allowed to write letters and he uses this allowance, he uses this hour a day that he has to write those instagram and twitter. why do you think they let him do it? that's a rhetorical question. we don't know. now they do, tomorrow they won't. so, like, so far, let'sjust be grateful he can do it now, because that can stop any minute. he seems very angry — very angry with the european union, with the americans as well — about what he sees as a failure to be serious about imposing tough sanctions on hundreds — no, thousands of oligarchs,

the richest russians who surround and — he would say — aid and abet putin and his associates in the kremlin. is he angry? i think he is. annoyed, angry — i'm not sure what the right word is — and i share these emotions. because we've been talking about sanctions, about sanctioning oligarchs and those people close to putin, to putin's regime, for years. and the level of sanctions that we see today, which is pretty good — like, these are decent sanctions, the current packages — but let's be honest, they should have been imposed so long before. the... crosstalk but this list of 6000 that the anti—corruption foundation has come up with and, you know, the very loaded term "oligarchs, bribe takers and warmongers" you say, these 6,000.

you tell me what proportion of those 6,000 are currently under sanctions in the west. a tiny, tiny proportion. i can tell you from the richest people in russia, from 200 richest people in russia — oligarchs, businessmen, etc — only 46 were sanctioned. and that's exactly the problem, and this is why we're being upset because the proportion is not good. there is no imminence to those sanctions, you know? 46—200, that is still a good chance to get away, and this is exactly what we are lobbying for. we're saying that there shouldn't be a way to get away from those sanctions and they should just be imposed regularly and strictly, and if you work for putin's regime, there shouldn't be a way, you know, to kind of sway a little bit and find your way out. you will be punished for that. the more you push this message that there are oligarchs around

putin who are currently escaping from sanctions and that you want the west to act on it, the more you push that message, the more likely it is that those holding navalny right now will intensify the level of pain and punishment inflicted upon him. there is some logic to that but i do not like that logic because following that, it means that we just need to lay low, do nothing and just be quiet, so they don't do something bad to navalny or to other political prisoners — and there are plenty of those. this is not how we work. we respond by applying even more pressure on them, and i think that's the only way to go. that's the only way to show putin that imprisoning navalny is not going to solve anything. we are actually investigating

and publishing more stories now than we did when alexei was around and it is a matter difficulty with that? i have... i might have difficulty with that, but i have put this difficulty on a faraway shelf and i try not to think about it because i have a very clear instruction from alexei navalny himself what to do, how to work.

he wants us to continue working and the worst thing that we can do is kind of change and wobble and do something differently. we have to be persistent. do is kind of change and wobble and do something differently. we have to be persistent. it's a long fight and no—one is going to give it up halfway through. i guess i'm really struck by how much risk you are prepared to take. if we go back a little bit in the navalny story and your involvement with it, he, of course, was poisoned inside russia. yes. miraculously, he survived. he recuperated in germany and he went back to russia. but it became clear during your investigations that you had a trail which led you, it seems, to the people who perpetrated the poisoning and you agreed to work with documentary makers... yes. ..you and others to try to tell this story. why did you believe it was important to go so very public — even to the point of you and navalny making

was poisoned inside russia. but it became clear during your investigations that you had a trail which led you, it seems, to the people who perpetrated the poisoning and you agreed to work with documentary makers... — why did you decide it was so important to go public with all of that when you must have known that would simply make you a personal target for russian intelligence? well, because there are things that are bigger than me in this life, and this story — the story about this poisoning, the story about the fact that vladimir putin uses chemical weapons — just think about it for a second, chemical weapons that are forbidden, they shouldn't exist, but he uses them against his opponents, his, like, personal enemies. that story is so embarrassing for putin. this is something that will stay with putin forever. this is something that hopefully one day he will be prosecuted for and i would love to be part of that process because, well, i've been a witness to that.

i think that this is a very scary and dangerous crime that he's committing with these chemical weapons poisonings and this whole system that he runs of this, you know, operations thatjust needs to be stopped and we made this big film that is available on bbc iplayer, recommended. here, i mean, here we sit in london and you clearly are a person who lives in exile, but you are very well aware of the names of litvinenko, of skripal. yes. you know the reach of the russian secret services is long. you have a target on your back. perhaps. i don't think there's any doubt about that, is there? how do you, those close to you, live with that? it's not that difficult to live with. sometimes, you just — no, there are situations in your life when you're scared

— objectively dangerous situations — but in those situations, you can make a choice to not be scared. it's a very deliberate, very rational and cold—hearted choice in a dangerous situation to not be scared. personal issues are one thing. there's also the more collective issue. recently, the guardian newspaper reported on a former navalny staffer, somebody that presumably worked alongside you — a young man, mikhail sokolov — who says that he first volunteered for navalny in 2017. he was then approached by the fsb and was paid to be an informer inside your organisation. do you fear that the reach of russia's secret services does actually go inside the anti—corruption foundation? we assume it does and we act in a way that anything we say

inside the office or in any work environment can be leaked, can be published, and we behave accordingly. we have no secrets to hide. we aren't doing anything that we wouldn't — we would be concerned doing publicly, so that's the only way to live your life in this sort of situation so, yes, probably we are targets of some sort of, you know, strange people running around europe undercover and not cover, illegals, you know, this sort of secret services branch, but what can you do about it? you just have to be reasonably careful and, yeah, that's all. most, pretty much all, independent media now has been shut down inside russia, so you don't have that outlet for your work. so, how do you reach the russian people right now? through youtube. 0ur channels haven't changed. so, there was a big — there is a big youtube channel

that we use to publish investigations. so this is, for example, when people could have seen putin's palace — our biggest investigation. so we use the same channel where before, that alexei navalny was the presenter. and now instead of navalny, it is me and my other colleagues, and we do very similar investigations and they are watched by the same amount of people. are they really, though? yes. i mean, inside russia today... yeah, absolutely. ..let us be realistic about what happens — it is a surveillance society. russia is a society which we, at the very beginning of this conversation discussed, was — is gripped by fear right now. do you think russians, given that your organisation is outlawed inside the country, defined as an extremist organisation, do you think russians feel comfortable viewing materials that you put up on youtube — even if they're lucky enough to be able to get around all of the different internet censorship which the russian administration tries to impose? youtube still fully accessible in russia — for unknown to me reasons,

it is — and russian people have a good experience with samizdat and other soviet, you know, sort of techniques of overcoming these things so yes, i — our numbers have not changed, so there is definitely the same level of interest to our work, to investigations, and we are very happy about it. what seems to be part of navalny�*s plan, maybe your plan too, is to put so much pressure on the russian elite, the oligarchs, the people around putin, that you basically ferment split and disruption within the inner circle. but i've spoken to many other people well—versed in how russia under putin works who say this is completely unrealistic. the oligarchs are not close to putin. he's basically done a deal with them — they stay out of politics, they're free to make money, but they are not in politics, and they are not in a position to move against or launch some sort of palace coup against vladimir putin. it is naive to think that might happen? i don't think it's naive and i don't think the assessments

that you just spoke to, i don't think that this is entirely correct. we don't really know, because now, the sanctions against oligarchs aren't imminent, and there are still people who can get away and who can think that, "0h, maybe i can wait on the side and nothing will happen to me." i think that those oligarchs are very crucial to putin's regime and if you... really? �*cause i spoke to mikhail khodorkovsky, who of course used to be one of the uber oligarchs not so very long ago in russia. he said it's completely unrealistic to expect that coming from the elite, from the oligarchs against putin, and the ftjust reported the other day — there is little sign that sanctions have pressured magathe oligarchs into contemplating a palace coup. instead, they are scrambling for ways to cling

onto their wealth. many are now resigned to a life inside russia. but if they don't work, why is usmanov and aven — there was an article today about them going through hungary, asking the hungarian prime minister, 0rban, to cross them off the list of the european sanctions. so if sanctions aren't effective, why is that happening? i need to interjectjust to make clear that all the individuals you've named deny that they are oligarchs involved in propping up putin or supporting a war or anything else. so, letjust be clear about that because it's important to get that on the record. i just wonder if we change the perspective from thinking about the oligarch to thinking about the russian people, are you and alexei navalny, are you disappointed in the russian people, that the russian people haven't, in the last six months, taken to the streets? when navalny tweeted out, "we should not be a nation of frightened cowards," he urged people to conduct daily protests against the war. that hasn't happened. is there a level of disappointment it didn't happen?

perhaps, yes. do i understand and get completely why it hasn't happened? also, yes, and i will never ever dare to blame russian people for not going into the streets right now because i understand the level of risk involved into this. do you think some russians might listen to this interview and wonder whether you have not become, in a highly nationalistic atmosphere in russia right now, worry whether you have become a puppet for russia's enemies? we're in london. there are allegations that the foundation, over years, has taken money from western interests. i think russia today recently pointed out that your contributions through cryptocurrency have gone through the roof, and they say, "ah—ha!" that's a means by which they hide the fact that they are being sponsored by western governments, rich westerners who want to do down russia. just to make it very clear — we are not being sponsored

by western governments and we have never been, and that line of argument that you are referring to, it is just pure propaganda line. if we ever were caught with — i don't know — dealing with foreign governments or anything like that in some sort of dodgy way, that would be all over russian tv, that would be... so where do you get your money from? it's entirely — we are entirely crowd funded. but where — where from? from inside russia? um, from inside russia, we are — we have almost stopped receiving any donations apart from actually cryptocurrency because it's too dangerous. we don't want to expose our russian donors to these risks. we are an extremist organisation, we are on the same list with al-qaeda, isis, etc, so giving us money directly right now is not a good idea. but we have had time to reroute our fundraising a little bit to diasporas, to russian people who live abroad, to russian people who have foreign bank accounts, because that solves the problem, that's not reachable for the russian

authorities, and also, we use some crowdfunding platforms that also make you untraceable in terms of where the payment comes from. you are russian. yes. do you worry that in the current climate, with everything that's going on with the ukraine war, there's a danger that some in the united states and europe and the west are becoming anti—russian rather than anti—putin? yes, it's a big problem, and every time i see it, i feel very upset and i feel very concerned because i don't think that there is a concept of collective responsibility. don't you? no. see, i had a very interesting interview with the editor—in—chief of the kyiv independent

recently, 0lga rudenko, and she said, "listen — russians aren't a normal nation who got lost and turned the wrong way. "no, they turned the wrong way many times until the country became finally what it is today — a fascist society, a mix of aggressors and their apathetic accomplices." when you hear ukrainians say that this isn't a putin problem, this is a russia problem, do you think they're wrong? i understand why they're saying this. i understand where the ukrainians are at the moment, and this war and what's happening with their country, what's russia doing to their country is...is heartbreaking and it's probably the biggest catastrophe that happened in the world in a very long time. i would understand every emotion that they feel towards the russians right now and i understand how it's possible to... but her point really is that the governance you have

in russian couldn't happen in ukraine because ukraine does not have this sort of latent deep desire for strongman rule that she thinks is part of what russia is. i think this is a very shallow understanding of what russia is. well, if it's shallow, you explain to me, as a last question — how is russia going to change and convince people like her that it can change? i won't be able to give you a timeline and i won't be able to give you a step—by—step guide, you know, this is what's going to happen in february, or this is what's going to happen in may or injune. we know and we've seen how it works. do you remember how forever soviet union seemed, how it seemed indestructible and how engaged people were into building socialism, etc, etc? and it collapsed overnight. these very strong regimes that are led by one person, one dictator like vladimir putin, they seem to be strong when you look at them, but the point is that they can break and crumble overnight. but is it your contention that it's not the palace coup we should look to, but people power? because we don't see

it right now. 0k, we can spend a lot of time assigning probabilities to this scenario, so is it going to be a palace coup or is it going to be a revolution or is putin simply going to die tomorrow? which is also possible. it doesn't. .. it's not a constructive way to spend your time. a constructive way to spend your time is trying to break through russian propaganda, try to educate the russian population, try to talk about the war, about what's happening, spreading the truth, etc, etc. that's the way we deal with it.

but maria pevchikh, it's been a pleasure having you on hardtalk. thank you very much. hello, after the rather chilly weather of the weekend, and a lot of cloud for many of us on monday, the next couple of days will bring something warmer and potentially sunnier, for a time before the rain arrives later in the week. he high pressure is still in charge for now. it is working its way eastwards. and as it does so, we will start to get into these south—westerly winds bringing warmer air northwards across the uk. many of us are starting tuesday morning with extensive cloud, cloud picking up across parts of north—west scotland, northern ireland, to bring some list and hill fog and some spots of light, patchy rain,

but we will see some sunny spells for eastern scotland, eastern counties of northern ireland and some sunny spells for england and wales, the best of that in west wales and the south—west of england. in fact, the south—west of england is where we saw the lion's share of the sunshine on monday. temperatures between 16—20 celsius, so it will feel a little warmer than it has of late. during tuesday night, a lot of cloud will tend to break up. we will see some fog patches developing, some patchy rain into the north—west of scotland and temperatures will be dependent on the amount of cloud we see. it could get a little bit chilly under any clear skies. into wednesday, we should see a bit more in the ray of sunshine, certainly some good spells of sunshine across england and wales, eastern counties of northern ireland and the good part of scotland, to the north—west of scotland and the north—west of northern ireland, you will see some thicker cloud and some splashes of rain once again. temperatures 19 celsius

for aberdeen, perhaps up to 21 in norwich and in london. for thursday, southern and eastern areas will continue to see some sunny spells and some warmth, but, this band of rain pushing in from the north—west, some of that rain will be heavy. some quite brisk winds with that, too, and behind it, things start to feel a little cooler once again. and as we look towards the end of the week, this band of rain, this frontal system will sink southwards and eastwards and it will develop something of a wave that will become white slow—moving across southern counties but, as that weather front does eventually clear, it will leave us with some slightly cooler conditions once again. so through friday we will see rain pushing southwards. some of that could be heavy of the uk, and the weekend will be a little bit cooler but often, it will be dry.

of the queen's birth, has begun. and along the way, heading westwards, many thousands of her people united in grief and in gratitude for the monarch who broke all the records and whose reign spanned eight remarkable decades. now, on her way to the town she called home, royal windsor, where we canjoin david dimbleby. the procession has now entered the long walk. for a journey of a mile or more from here up to windsor castle. led by a dismounted detachment of the household calvary and these equerries.

that huge standard, the royal standard of the grenadier guards regiment, carried before the hearse, and standing there on the right of the picture, the queen's pony or horse?

emma. when the duke of edinburgh, at his funeral here, the driving carriage that he used to use was brought out to the quadrangle here from the mews of windsor. the grooms who work in the royal mews. and this black highland, i suspect, pony, emma. come to watch the coffin go past. two of the queen's corgis, like emma the pony, sandy and mick. the queen was famous. i didn't know how many corgis she had. 50 or 60, i think, in her life.

the hearse enters the horseshoe cloister and stops in front of the steps that lead up to the west door of st george's chapel. choir sings. organ plays.

the bearer party, their last duty done, departs from the chapel and the royal family take their place at the east end of the choir, with the coffin of the queen on the catafalque before them. we have come together to commit into the hands of god, the soul of his servant, queen elizabeth. here in st george's chapel, where she so often worshipped, we are bound to call to mind

someone whose uncomplicated yet profound christian faith bore so much fruit. and now the congregation stands in silence as the instruments of state, which were received by the queen at the coronation, are received back by the dean of windsor, who places them on the high altar. the sceptre, which was received by the queen as the ensign of kingly power and justice. the orb, the globe of

the world, which she received with the words, "receive this orb set under the cross, "and remember that the whole world is subject to the power "and empire of christ our redeemer." and finally, the imperial state crown, which the archbishop of canterbury placed on her head in westminster abbey with the words "may she be filled with abundant grace "and princely virtues."

everyone remains standing before the committal. but first, his majesty the king receives the small queen's company camp colour, which is used to identify the whereabouts of the commanding officer. and he places it on the coffin. the lord chamberlain, the most senior member

of the household, his duty done, breaks his wand of office and places it there, too. like as a father pitieth his own children, even so is the lord merciful unto them that fear him,

for he knoweth whereof we are made. he remembereth that we are but dust. the days of man are but as grass, for he flourisheth as a flower of the field. for as soon as the wind goes over it, it is gone and the place thereof shall know it no more. but the merciful goodness of the lord endureth forever and ever upon them, that fear him and his righteousness upon children's children. go forth upon thyjourney from this world, 0 christian soul. in the name of god, the father almighty, who created thee, in the name ofjesus christ, who suffered for thee, in the name of the holy spirit,

who strengtheneth thee, in communion with the blessed saints, and aided by angels and archangels and all the armies of the heavenly host. may thy portion this day be in peace and thy dwelling in the heavenlyjerusalem. amen. thus, it hath pleased almighty god to take out of this transitory life unto his divine mercy the late, most high, most mighty

and most excellent monarch, elizabeth ii. by the grace of god, of the united kingdom, of great britain and all northern ireland, and of her other realms and territories, queen. head of the commonwealth, defender of the faith, and sovereign of the most noble order of the garter. bagpipes skirl

go forth into the world in peace. be of good courage. hold fast that which is good. render to no—one evil for evil. strengthen the faint—hearted, support the weak. help the afflicted. honour all people. love and serve the lord, rejoicing in the power of the holy spirit. and the blessing of god almighty, the father, the son and the holy spirit be amongst you and remain with you always. amen.

after the rather chilly weather of the weekend, and a lot of cloud for many of us on monday, the next couple of days will bring something warmer and potentially sunnier, for a time before the rain arrives later in the week. he high pressure is still in charge for now. it is working its way eastwards. and as it does so, we will start to get into these south—westerly winds bringing warmer air northwards across the uk. many of us are starting tuesday morning with extensive cloud, cloud picking up across parts of north—west scotland, northern ireland, to bring some list and hill fog and some spots of light, patchy rain, but we will see some sunny spells for eastern scotland, eastern counties of northern ireland and some sunny spells for england and wales, the best of that in west wales and the south—west of england. in fact, the south—west of england is where we saw

the lion's share of the sunshine on monday. temperatures between 16—20 celsius, so it will feel a little warmer than it has of late. during tuesday night, a lot of cloud will tend to break up. we will see some fog patches developing, some patchy rain into the north—west of scotland and temperatures will be dependent on the amount of cloud we see. it could get a little bit chilly under any clear skies. into wednesday, we should see a bit more in the ray of sunshine, certainly some good spells of sunshine across england and wales, eastern counties of northern ireland and the good part of scotland, to the north—west of scotland and the north—west of northern ireland, you will see some thicker cloud and some splashes of rain once again. temperatures 19 celsius for aberdeen, perhaps up to 21 in norwich and in london. for thursday, southern and eastern areas will continue to see some sunny spells and some warmth, but, this band of rain pushing in from the north—west, some of that rain will be heavy. some quite brisk winds with that, too, and behind it, things start to feel a little cooler once again.

and as we look towards the end of the week, this band of rain, this frontal system will sink southwards and eastwards and it will develop something of a wave that will become white slow—moving across southern counties but, as that weather front does eventually clear, it will leave us with some slightly cooler conditions once again. so through friday we will see rain pushing southwards. some of that could be heavy of the uk, and the weekend will be a little bit cooler but often, it will be dry.

transcended national borders. she was, one biographer wrote, queen of the world. and today's symbols and service bore witness to that truth. political leaders may have flown from all corners of the world, but their final journey was by bus, just as these african leaders had travelled to buckingham palace last night. again today there were just too many vips for them all to come by car so they came together and queued together. in they came, some 500 foreign dignitaries in all, including about 100 heads of state and government. from north america, the president of the united states, joe biden, and his wife. they did not take the bus. and justin trudeau, the prime minister of canada, who did. he first met the queen when he was just a boy. from europe came president macron, who had spoken

so warmly of french affection for the queen. and kings and queens from across the continent, from spain to sweden, norway to the netherlands. there were leaders, too, from the other side of the world — from new zealand and australia and many of the pacific isles. from africa, a long line of statesmen and women, especially from the commonwealth — the international organisation the queen shaped and nurtured. choir sings and it was on the commonwealth that so many prayers dwelt. with gratitude, we remember her unswerving commitment to a high calling over so many years as queen and head of the commonwealth. let us give thanks for

queen elizabeth's commitment to the commonwealth throughout her reign. then, as the service ended, it was time for the foreign guests to get back to their queues and their buses. and yes, that is the king and queen of spain waiting in line like the rest. back in the mall, the queen's coffin continued its james landale, bbc news. among the mourners in the streets around central london, windsor and elsewhere, were many military veterans.

for those who have served in the army, the royal navy or the royal air force, the queen was their commander—in—chief. and many wanted to be present to say their farewells. our special correspondent, fergal keane, has been speaking to veterans about what the queen meant to them, and hearing their tributes. once, he was a soldier... ..and today mark taylor said goodbye to his commander—in—chief. he's a veteran of kosovo and iraq. he came home from war with post—traumatic stress disorder. thinking of all my, you know, mates that i've lost, family that i've lost. yeah, just brings it

all to a head and... but, yeah, proud to have served. proud to have served. there were veterans from across the services. the faces of wars fought in the queen's long reign. and of those who served when she was a princess. like robin rowland, now 100. he fought in the jungles of burma in world war ii. i was glad to be given a job which involved fighting in the front line and fighting along with my colleagues. she has made her subjects look

at themselves and if there's anything to be done which has a right and wrong way of doing it, she has taught them to do the right thing at the right time and she has endeavoured to tell them what service means and giving yourself to the task in hand. but in war, obeying the call to duty is so often the story of the young who do not come home. watching today's funeral, tony and sandy lewis. their 22—year—old son conrad was killed in afghanistan in 2011.

these funeral rites evoking memories of a dead boy. conrad would have been delighted to have been there. but equally was delighted to have pledged his allegiance to the then queen elizabeth. i don'tjust think of my family but i think of all those and especially all of those families that were bereaved in afghanistan. in this way, present grief summoned the memory of older sacrifice. choir sings fergal keane,

on the moment in history. it was an extra public holiday in the uk and many businesses decided to close as a mark of respect, while some hospitality venues, such as pubs and cafes, opened their doors, allowing people to spend time together. for those who were in london they had much—needed refreshments. joining me now is kate nicholls, chief executive at ukhospitality. good morning. if we start with london and how the hospitality sector responded to this because, of course, eversince the announcement that queen elizabeth ii had died, the capital saw an influx of visitors, didn't it?- capital saw an influx of visitors, didn't it? we did. we saw an notick _ visitors, didn't it? we did. we saw an uptick in _ visitors, didn't it? we did. we saw an uptick in international| saw an uptick in international and domestic visitor numbers, people wanting to come and pay their respect and show a mark of respect and be a part of the national period of mourning.

particularly around that lying in state. businesses stayed open and in response to directions from central government, the local government, the local government to help manage the pressure of the crowds who were around central london, to provide facilities, support, food and drink to those coming to pay their respects. talk food and drink to those coming to pay their respects.— to pay their respects. talk us throu . h to pay their respects. talk us through the _ to pay their respects. talk us through the challenges. - to pay their respects. talk us through the challenges. on l through the challenges. on saturday i spend much of saturday i spend much of saturday in london at the various places, the palace, westminster, green park, and whenever you went to try and get a drink or something to eat it was hard. it get a drink or something to eat it was hard-— it was hard. it was difficult for the parts _ it was hard. it was difficult for the parts of _ it was hard. it was difficult for the parts of london - it was hard. it was difficult | for the parts of london that was central areas of congregation. there were challenges there because there was such a pressure of people wanting to come around to the palace, stjames �*s, green park that we mentioned where our businesses were open and trading for as long as we could. and, of course, crucially around that area of south london where we had the cues and members of the public queueing sometimes over 12

hours to pay their respects. businesses say they were there sometimes that make business stayed open sometimes 24/7 to provide toilets comfort coffee and food. so it was a challenge and, of course, let's not forget the businesses also supported in edinburgh, in windsor and in other areas as well with royal connections. and would you say that this has given the hospitality sector a much needed boost at a time when there is real concern about the outlook for the uk economy and what is next. t economy and what is next. i think it was helpful to play economy and what is next. t think it was helpful to play a part this is not a normal bank holiday the hospitality sector where we would normally have two and have been added to the economy. this was about providing facilities and service and a place locally where people could come together to mourn and grieve and watch the funeral collectively. so the sector is

undoubtedly facing a perfect storm of rising inflationary cost but also staff shortages, soaring energy bills at the same time that we see a consumer downturn. so many businesses are saying they are not making a profit or breaking even, one third say they are struggling to stay open without additional support. struggling to stay open without additionalsupport. so struggling to stay open without additional support. so it is quite a bleak time having had two years of covid and a year where we have not yet had confidence in the sector, we now face further sectors and the support that we hope will come on friday when the chancellor makes an announcement for support measures, we fear that many in the hospitality industry will not survive the winter. t the hospitality industry will not survive the winter. i know we will speak _ not survive the winter. i know we will speak again _ not survive the winter. i know we will speak again soon. - not survive the winter. i know we will speak again soon. asl we will speak again soon. as you say, there are difficult times ahead. and there is an announcement due to be made on the at the end of the week. thank you. like many countries across europe, spain is struggling with the rising cost of living, in great part

due to spiralling energy costs caused by the war in ukraine. the government of socialist pedro sanchez has taken a range of initiatives in an effort to mitigate the impact of rising prices, but it's under increasing pressure to go further. guy hedgecoe reports from madrid. commuters in northern madrid make the most of a new government scheme offering free train travel on shorter journeys. this measure, which will remain in place across spain over the next four months, aims to help counter the spiralling cost of living. petrol cost is really high right now and this initiative or this opportunity is saving money for some people. because i used to drive 60 kilometres a day but i can go by train for free. ., , ., , , day but i can go by train for free. ., , .,, , ., free. for people my age we make, free. for people my age we make. we _ free. for people my age we make, we do _ free. for people my age we make, we do not— free. for people my age we make, we do not make - free. for people my age we make, we do not make a i free. for people my age we|

this effort to get companies to help refugees have a hand up not hand out is a handy look higher, the ceo of cervone. the pandemic also showed that we are not isolated from these crises. we all are together. and companies pay a role in this and the willingness of the employees and, i think, the push from the customers are encouraging businesses to do the thing. companies are stepping up dramatically. this summit is a great example. if you asked me into thousand six that one day there will be 45 companies coming up publicly and committing over 20,000 jobs for refugees in the united states ice would say that would be a great dream. lts states ice would say that would be a great dream. us companies have the wind _ be a great dream. us companies have the wind in _ be a great dream. us companies have the wind in their _ be a great dream. us companies have the wind in their cells - have the wind in their cells when it comes to supporting refugees right now, thanks in part to the tight labour market and the crises in afghanistan

major bhim bahadur gurung, a retired british gurkha, served as the queen's orderly in 1975. today, i got the opportunity to pray for the queen and i wish she rest in peace very lovely, her majesty the queen. with a reign spanning 70 years, some who served her couldn't be here. captain rambahadur limbu is nepal's only living recipient of the victoria cross. his decades of service meant he was invited to the funeral, but he couldn't travel. and so a condolence book was taken by the british ambassador to his home, 250 miles from kathmandu. "i'm deeply saddened the queen's death", he wrote. translation: she used to speak to us like we were part _ of herfamily. she was soft—spoken and had

clarity of thought. a lifetime bond with the queen and her country. nepal's relationship with the british monarchy is quite different compared to most of south asia. it wasn't a colony of the british empire and one of the reasons is the more than 200—year—old agreement that allows gurkhas to serve with the uk military. and even among ordinary people here, we found a lot of affection for the british royal family. on the street, we met diwakar sahu, who was eager to talk to us about the funeral. i am very saddened, i respect her. so very many... all my thoughts and prayers are with the british people. so how old were you, sir, when you saw queen elizabeth? i was 10, 15 years of age. one of the millions around the world who have their own memories of the queen.

from near and far, today they said goodbye. yogita limaye, bbc news, kathmandu. queen elizabeth said that her whole life would be dedicated to serving the country. our home editor mark easton reports on her life and legacy and what she meant to the nation. i name this ship queen elizabeth ii. there is a hole in our nation's life where the queen used to be. newsreel: queen elizabeth ii went down to meet the sea. . a golden chain has been broken. a requiem played to a kingdom's proud past. when the queen came to the throne, britain and the world was still coping with the privations and aftermath of the second world war and still living by the conventions of earlier times.

figurehead of the greatest generation, the queen was respected for values burnished by war. patient queueing, a fitting act to honour a sovereign who understood the significance of good manners, especially in dark days. we should take comfort that while we may have more still to endure, better days will return. we will be with our friends again, we will be with our families again, we will meet again. her death detaches living memory from the country's finest hour. but her parting is cloaked in a pall of patriotism that emboldens national self—belief. she and the institution she represents have framed britain as a country with a special place in history and the world. representatives from every corner have come to honour our queen. this is a nation, a commonwealth, a world saying

farewell to the longest—reigning british monarch. the united kingdom stands proudly in the spotlight of global attention. but it is a day edged in black. many in britain are mourning their queen, but also the death ofan idea. elizabeth signified a country unwavering in its commitment to duty and to decency. goodwill is better than resentment, tolerance is better than revenge, compassion is better than anger. above all, a lively concern for the interests of others as well as our own. the queen understood loss. "grief is the price we pay for love," she famously wrote in a letter to the us president after 9/11. grief was on parade

in london today. and so her kingdom comes to the moment of farewell. the chapter is complete. tonight, we shall feel the weight of its final full—stop. mark easton, bbc news. as you'd expect, today's papers are full of it. he had to talk through some front pages and what's inside is reporter mark lobel what's inside is reporter mark lobel. he wanted to start with the front page of the guardian, the front page of the guardian, the final farewell? mt the front page of the guardian, the final farewell?— the final farewell? all the -ictures the final farewell? all the pictures are _ the final farewell? all the pictures are focusing - the final farewell? all the pictures are focusing on l the final farewell? all the l pictures are focusing on the pageantry, the service, partly due to there being no security glitch, one reason the guardian says this was a success. the severity operation was in a

we've come together to commit into the hands of god, the sole

of her servant queen elizabeth. hello. after the rather chilly weather of the weekend, and a lot of cloud for many of us on monday, the next couple of days will bring something warmer and potentially sunnier, for a time before the rain arrives later in the week. but high pressure is still in charge for now. it is working its way eastwards. and as it does so, we will start to get into these south—westerly winds bringing warmer air northwards across the uk. many of us are starting tuesday morning with extensive cloud, cloud thick enough across parts of north—west scotland, northern ireland, to bring some list and hill fog and some spots of light, patchy rain, but we will see some sunny spells for eastern scotland,

eastern counties of northern ireland and some sunny spells for england and wales, the best of that in west wales and the south—west of england. in fact, the south—west of england is where we saw the lion's share of the sunshine on monday. temperatures between 16—20 celsius, so it will feel a little warmer than it has of late. during tuesday night, a lot of cloud will tend to break up. we will see some fog patches developing, some patchy rain into the north—west of scotland and temperatures will be dependent on the amount of cloud we see. it could get a little bit chilly under any clear skies. into wednesday, we should see a bit more in the ray of sunshine, certainly some good spells of sunshine across england and wales, eastern counties of northern ireland and the good part of scotland, but for the north—west of scotland and the north—west of northern ireland, you will see some thicker cloud and some splashes of rain once again. temperatures 19 celsius for aberdeen, perhaps up to 21 in norwich and in london. for thursday, southern and eastern areas will continue to see some sunny spells and some warmth, but

this band of rain pushing in from the north—west, some of that rain will be heavy. some quite brisk winds with that, too, and behind it, things start to feel a little cooler once again. and as we look towards the end of the week, this band of rain, this frontal system will sink southwards and eastwards and it will develop something of a wave that will become white slow—moving across southern counties but as that weather front does eventually clear, it will leave us with some slightly cooler conditions once again. so through friday we will see rain pushing southwards. some of that could be heavy south of the uk, and the weekend will be a little bit cooler but often, it will be dry.

good morning, welcome to breakfast with nina warhurst and jon kay. our headlines today. the final farewell. queen elizabeth is laid to rest in windsor, alongside her husband the duke of edinburgh. the private commital service followed the queen's state funeral, as the nation said goodbye. as westminster gets back to work, the prime minister liz truss will vow to spend billions more on military aid for ukraine. it's a historic day for england's cricketers as they begin their t20
