♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ long live our liberty, god save our king ♪

>> three cheers for his majesty the king! >> hip hip -- >> hooray! >> hip hip -- >> hooray! >> hip hip -- >> hooray!

as we watch these pictures play out, these are public proclamation announcing the ascension of the new monarch. the first one was one from cardiff wales and they were speaking welsh and this is a repeat of what we saw yesterday, the public proclamation of the new monarch and it is a traditional ceremony. and it also signals a return to the flags being at full staff,

right, until they return to half mast to mourn the death of queen elizabeth ii. >> we're seeing all of it. >> there's another ceremony we did not have pictures of in northern ireland in belfast. >> we are seeing all of it. it might seem overwhelming or a bit redundant but think about the previous years. w we're seeing them all because with the modern life, we can see it and take care of it. >> yesterday you and i and max foster were talking about the technic technological age.

>> the cortege has gone through, it's halfway through aberdeen and we expect it to see it come through aberdeen any time now. we probably won't have pictures from the helicopter at the moment because we are being respectful and the talk to us about what you're seeing, esa. >> what you're seeing on your scene is you behind knee. that will lead passing here on the main street and go all the way to the castle. they were making their way down pass st. charles cathedral and

the king of arms who read the proclamation. i think i just heard the 21 gun salute from edinburgh castle. this is what we are seeing in wales as well as in belfast. meanwhile, what you are seeing there on your screen is really the journey, what king charles called his mother's last great journey, as shoo. i'm going to show you what we're seeing right now, that sprogs of. proclamation that we've just seen, really the announcement of the procession of king charles

♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ >> reporter: then we have the moderator and office bearers of the society of high constables of edinburgh. then you can see that's followed by the city officer, as well as the herald and purr sewsuers of scotland. many people have been here, don, for many, many hours, waiting to be part of history and one person said to me this monarch is the only monarch i have ever known. she is not just the mother to

one it and also a monarch to their children and they'll be making thereto way where the second part of the counsel is something weren't expecting it and we saw in wales as well as in belfast and northern ireland. really what do we expect, this moment where everyone wants to be here be part of history. in terms of the images that we have been seeing this morning, the cortege of seven cars we've been keeping an eye on. that's been going through various towns and villages, very picturesque key -- a picturesque city, a town next to ball that

is in the outskirts of aberdeen. we're very close to aberdeen as richard said and you're seeing the gun salutes from edinburgh castle. from aberdeen we'll then go to dundee and then come back, past the royal mall here, past st. charles and past the royal residence of the monarch. she's expected to stay there and lie there overnight.

and she will lie in rest for 24 hours where people can give their respect and deep love for a monarch who has really defined so many generations, don. >> isa, thank you very much for that. richard, listen, we have to be mindful we are marking two occasions here, the transition of power and honoring the life and mourning the death of queen elizabeth, all at the same time. >> and like a pendulum, these events go backwards and forward between them. you've got the proclamation, the funeral, the cortez making its way to aberdeen and to e edinburgh. that's going to be the contradiction of emotions that the british people will face for the next week until things have become a little more certain.

>> i'm don lemon here with my colleague richard qwest and then also joining us from buckingham palace our colleague cnn royal correspondent max foster along with cnn's chief correspondent chri christian amanpour. let's listen in for a bit. >> remove head dress! >> three cheers for his majesty the king. hip hip -- >> hooray! >> hip hip. >> hooray! >> hip hip --

>> hooray! >> and replace hea d dress. 6. >> proclamation guards will take a bow.

this is, again, a repeat of what we saw yesterday, the initial -- i just want to make sure they're not playing the national anthem, knowing not to speak over the national anthem. there you see the band in cardiff, wales. this is all going on. this is in tandem as the queen is making her jo and this is in edinburgh where people can honor her life.

we talked about these ceremonies, the exact same proclamation, the exact same event happening in different cities throughout the commonwealth and the importance of this. >> so this is, you know, in times before tv, don, they would have to announce the new king once all of the states -- the pillars of statehood have agreed to proclaim a new king. yesterday we saw the state, the church, the judiciary completely sign off on this new king and and you think in m modern times the importance of this is to show that cardiv, belfast and edboro are important, the pun is

important, this fundamentally it is a message that all the authorities have gathered. you've got the first minister of wales. you've got all of the keefe figures in wales standing there saying we are behind this new king. so this is all very important ceremony. the last proclamation will be in edin bre and this is about looking forward to the conditioning a and goes up to hollywood palace where the body will lay to rest overnight, giving an opportunity for the household staff to pay their respects and tomorrow we'll see the coffin moved to the cathedral to allow the people of scotland to pay their respects.

>> christiane amanpour, we can't see the queen's body being carried through the countryside here but we're having these two events happen in tandem and they. >> exactly, you put your finger on it. again, the queen always said they have to see it to believe it. ma transfer of the authority, of power, of reasonin and so it's a constitutional monarchy, we're seeing it play out. the demise of one monarch and the ascension of another monarch being broadcast around the constituent nations and at the same time, a very important democratic process that it

envelopes as well. so it's, again, showing the world that, you know. and i think to be frank, even though it highly choreographed, it goes back to ancient tradition, some of it may seem anachronist being is the idea of peaceful transitions of democracy. the idea of democracy surviving as we see an underthread to the united states all the way over to the eastern parts of europe and poland and hungry a and the fight to maintain the existing order and democratic process, it might seem weird to say that but

this monarchy is about protecting the krn. >> don't you think, richard, it also gives the people time to process, know it not you're going to see it a few more times until the queen -- until the funeral. i think it also gives people time to pro. >> people have to process the fact that the woman who led this country for 70 years, of whom we've known none other, is gone. i think any therapist or psychologist will tell you there has to be a grieving process. is that the same grieving process as if it were your mother? no, of course not. but it's like a relative. it's like that person that you knew. i think you've nailed it there.

this is absolutely a process. each part of the next week to ten days will add a piece of the. >> this is what we call a split korean skreeb. you have the sell bra tree on with you and. >> when the moment dies, the first thing you say is "the queen is dead, long live fnl the royal flag never because there's always a monarch. >> max, i the and we talk about

how a political this queen has been over the 730 years, the new king, charles, iii, has promised thesome thing evening but there are certain causes that are important to him and that are important to the people who are celebrating now him being proclaimed the king. >> reporter: he will distance himself from those more opinionated views that he's had over the years and he said he's going to leave them behind to other people. the problem is we're very aware of how he feels. let's take an example of the queen. she might look at a building, a sky scraper from london and if

we look it and project on to her with that's a really fundamental difference between this king and the previous quinn. there f ffrm i think that that's okay. that's no we expected her to be the stuff f and that will be fine as well as he reflects the feeling of the nation but it's a big risk if he's expressing himself something the nation doesn't feel the same about.

and the queen, she doesn't want to get it wrong. we're seeing gun salutes taking place, wales effectively getting behind the new king. charles was prince of whales. william was committed to the people of wales. we'll see william going much more to wales and being seen as the principal now. prince edward will adopt the title when the time is right, we are told at the death of prince philip. do you think t. >> i'm sure if that's all

planned, it will come out at the correct times. as you said, it's all highly coreio grached. we've seen all of this and we were kind of surprised in his first actual address to the public that he named prince william prince of wales so kite this is what's happening. even the lat flrm, xx ping has today reached out, fwrated king charles iii. >> you would think he would come. >> it's very interesting because thns fnchs sfrnl who would you expect to -- i mean, i think putin would come if it wasn't for sanctions actually.

do you think that's a misjudgment all africa, all north and south many there's king abdullah of juror and the conditioning has had it state. >> images now from carter countryside in ol many and you see the final journey queen elizabeth the second. we're going to continue our coverage sfrrnl d we want to buy your car so go to carvana enter your license plate answer a few questions and our techchno wizardry calculates your car's value

general, the queen. >> it had all the pomp and the circumstance that you would expect but it it have thats, if, and this country did not begin with british colonialism just over it 2 thune federal budget forecast frrnl frnl and it does have a legacy of colonialism in its constitution. that is growing frrngs and at some point during his rain.

holyrood house. what is going on right now? >> it ratification of charles being king and being recognized and on the other hand we're seeing the slow procession of the queen's hearse to edinburgh. i couldn't help after seeing the scenes right next to balmoral, how many times she traveled there and how many times she got to know the people who live there. they know a lot of the ordinary people who surrounded balmoral castle. and it's a place where they spent so much time where their

roots and she's going to edinburgh and again places where she spent many, many visits. she with have my mind took me back to the first time actually when she was11 years old and she and princess marg et went with their mother and father, the recently crowned king and queen and they went and they drove around in carriages and princess elizabeth and her mother watched their mother being invested in the highest order you can her

feelings were so deep. i think it unusual for this to be happening in and it so happened because she was at bal mourl when she die. it obviously had to be her express wish if he shapd to die in scotland that he web and lie in state at saint charles and hollywood house very, very important to her, not only with her role as queen but also her role i think we're seeing in

proclaiming the new king but at the fshlorring the green who served the scottish people and all the people of the united kingdom for an extraordinary early. >> but it also speaks to the importance, richard, and the enormity of the united kingdom, of the union of the different well ms. >> the united kingdom of great britain and north ireland. that's what it says. my passport says on the front cover, her majesty requests and requires in the name of her majesty to allow the bearer to pass it out. >> so the importance of moving forward for the monarchy and whether it will even be involved -- >> the queen and charles have always, always said this is a decision for those countries. so when charles went to barbados

recently and when it became an independent country, he's gone and the big issue will be australia, new zealand, some of the caribbean islands. but some call it the srt um. well, she had a really keen sort of i would say intern compass about where the monarchy needed to go. and if it were off a bit, there

are being are and there were other circumstances that happened throughout her rain. >> sally? >> yes. sorry, again, yes. slu she was very aware that she had to keep absolutely in step with where british public temperature was proor and it has to do with the label on the jar, which every british person knows it's yellow and red and green and you would look at it and think oh, that's frrm and the

it's not even connected to the european union anymore, where it used to hold a very special position as the fundamental and important bridge between rn no matter how much good will want to put to and you have to say aren't you above its weight in frnl fshl, quickly, loudly and with money and weapons to help the democratic process and the fight against fascism and total tearianism that is being waged on the battlegrounds of ukraine. so britain was an early, that was the golden era of this

nation. the victoria era was massively important and not to mention that of course this was a, frnls so in that regard, britain will have to reassess its role on the world stage and i think there will be a lot of good while and principles sfrfrms honey ffrm sffrmt and those three were

isn't it? >> we want to look at these images that are happening now because they're getting close to dundee. imagine being on the highway, on the other side and there you will. >> if you put this into perspective for us here, richard. this is obviously an morning of mourning and that there is optimism in the new kims trnls

mayor adams and tonight the iconic tribute in light. the two powerful beams of light to show into the sky from dusk to dawn. >> thank you. thousands of families lost loved ones on 9/11. some young children lost out on years with their parents. joining us is ashley and charlie who lost their faethers in the attack. welcome. you have honored your fathers in different ways. ashley, you were 16 when your father died in the attacks. what do you remember about that day and how do you honor him? >> that day is clear in my mind. i was a junior in high school at

the time in social studies class and a plane hit tower within and i knew it was going to be here frbl that moment on because my dad worked on the 101st floor of the tower. i have a memoir "chasing butterflies." >> what a way to put the memories in one place. charlie, you were just 10 years old when your dad died on flight 93 fighting back against the terrorists when the plane went down. were you able to grasp the heroic actions of your dad on that day? how are you honoring him? >> there's not been a day that's gone by that i haven't thought

about him and the guy that he was and so wish that i could understand more of the person he was and to hear his stories. why when my mom was diagnosed with cancer five years ago i knew how important it was to record her stories and changed the relationship and my life forever and so excited to have built a mobile application to work to capture the stories to you bring closer to someone you love. >> tell us more. >> the app draws on the best technology and story telling expertise and memory science to enable you to sit down with someone you care about to recommend what to ask to help you record the conversations with the technology in the pocket and to bring the stories

to life in a way that's never before been possible. >> ashley, you are a mother. what do you tell your children or your child about this day, september 11th? >> it is extremely difficult to explain 9/11. my daush is 4 1/2 and my son is 2 1/2. that's why i started writing a children's book called "september" to explain to them what happened to my dad on 9/11. and all i can say is that he was loved and i describe the person that he was and more important for me that my children not necessarily know how my dad died but know that he was an incredible dad and the amazing man that he was and the events of 9/11 i'll teach them as they get older. >> what a way to channel the

grief and honor your fathers to both of you. charlie, could you tell us about tuesday's children? >> tuesday's children has been a phenomenal organization to bring those of us impacted by 9/11 together and to be able to reflect on what 21 years actually has meant to each of us and taught us about love and about loss and i would maybe most importantly for me is the realization how important to never take anything or anyone in our precious lives for granted. >> i could only manuaimagine bo your fathers looking down on you beaming with pride. thank you for joining us on this solemn day we must always remember. thank you. we'll be right back.
