♪ hello to our viewers in the

united states and around the world. i'm don lemon. thank you for joining us in scotland. alongside my colleagues we'll continue to follow the procession going through scotland. the coffin bearing the queen about halfway through the journey to the scottish capital of edinburgh. thousands are lining the streets to say the final farewells to queen elizabeth ii. britain's longest reigning monarch. this is a first leg in her journey back to london where she will lie in state until the funeral set for next monday september 19th at westminster abby. we have live coverage with the team. nic robertson is here. also want to get my colleague first that's isa suarez in edinburgh with the latest. are you seeing crowds yet?

>> reporter: yeah. we are indeed. starting to really pick up. it was very busy because in the last hour there was also a transfer of power. proclamation not just here but also in northern ireland and in wales. the crown starting to pick up. people wanting to be part of history and pay final respects to a monarch that defined so many generations. one lady said she's the only monarch i have ever known and the children see her as a granny. will make it way to the holyroodhouse where the queen will stay for the fight. i'm joined now, want to bring in

hillary who drove for about an hour and a half away. explain to the viewers what this moment means to you and why it is important to be here today. >> it is important to pay the respects to our queen, the only queen i have ever really known and i brought my mom with my today. she is 78. she just wanted to come and to pay her respects. it's a moment in history and happy to be here. >> reporter: emotional moment, no doubt. going to the coastal city of dundee, many people bow the heads and tears in the eyes. what emotion do you think you will feel? >> a tear in the eye. on thursday night i definitely

had a tear in my eye. we feel like we lost one of the family. >> reporter: we will see many people in a somber mood paying respects. don? >> isa, thank you. want to get to colleagues at buckingham palace. you see the king behind you? >> yes. we heard as you talked about the solemnity a crowd go up and king charles iii is behind us in the procession. so we know and max and i have been talking about meetings holding there. clearly he probably lives and lays his head at clarence house. it is not that far. it is like literally a one-minute car ride. >> didn't allow the public to

see him. today is about the queen so we won't see a lot of him. going for private meetings in there. it's a nice way to balance it. >> if i said it once i said it a million times for them to believe it they have to see it. actually making everything visible. the crowd is delighted to see their new king. cheering. this is the process of the seamless process in very, very stark visuals and visible to the people of this country and the world. >> we'll see if he'll do a walkabout. seems unlikely. >> he has meetings today with the director general, the secretary general of the commonwealth. they call them high commissioners. i might point out how much

tribute is flowing through. we mentioned that even an autocratic leader like president xi of china sent condolences and congratulations to king charles iii why he was here in 2015 for a state visit with queen elizabeth ii. pakistan which we all know from the headlines of the last week is undergoing a worst natural disaster in history. the floods killed so many people. massive swaths of pakistan underwater. they are a member of the commonwealth and will have a day of mourning tomorrow. mourning with this country as their country mourns such a disaster, as well. >> max, we have been noticing the crowds getting bigger.

can you give us an update of crowd size? >> you couldn't get more people in here. they closed roads and put more people in. there's big line coming down. an element of the plan is to move the flowers from outside buckingham palace to green park to create a flower garden and helped because people are coming here and directed to the flower garden but people come down to the palace in hopes of seeing the kin and the ones lucky enough to see him, this is a breathing, living palace. as the king went in we saw the flags swapped over. the king is in residence. we see the royal standard.

this is what we see and note that the royal standard never flies at half staff because the monarch never dies. going back to where you talked about you feel a misjudgment of the queen not to come straight down when diana died. the debate was how the flag wasn't being lowered and argument is the flag should never be lowered even on the death -- only for the death of the monarch. i think that speaks to how the queen is responsive. there's protocols in place and she broke it to let the flags be lowered for diana own how the constitution is adapted over time. >> it was the whole britain that felt it back then and the tabloids and the broad sheets were basically, ma'am, we are

hurting. come and hear our pain. as you said she then reacquainted herself with the pulse of the people. >> i want to get out to the crowd there. our colleague nada bashear is there. what are you hearing? >> reporter: absolutely. there are hundreds of people here at green park across the street from buckingham palace. people are directed to leave the flowers and cards and notes here because there's too many flowers. we see vans coming 20 minutes or so transporting the flowers to leave them here. we have been speaking to people

saying they pay the respects to someone revered by so many people for so many years and here to take part in a moment of history. that was the message of people we spoke to earlier. take a listen. >> we are from up north of sheffield. the queen ever since we have been alone is all we know. we wanted to pay respects. >> i think that's quite exciting. a lot of sorrow. she made it to 96. pretty exciting to see the king come in. he will be a good king. it is historic, sad and exciting all at the same time i think. >> reporter: look. i have to say the numbers keep on getting bigger. we see crowds of people streaming in and emotional and moved by the people here.

but of course there are many people coming down to buckingham palace from across the country to take part in a moment of history and a moment some will never see again and a lot of heli hope and optimism of king charles. we saw that yesterday many crowded outside st. james' palace and watching on the phones. it is a moment to behold. don? >> thank you very much. that's the scene in london. want to get to edinburgh and that's nic robertson on the royal mile. it is such a somber moment for the people of scotland and for the world. >> reporter: it is. i'll give you a little flavor

what we see here. the road across the street is where the queen will drive in to edinburgh. coming into edinburgh from the north. aberdeen and people waiting in the towns and villages along the route there to stone haven to the city of dundee on the east coast to perth. the street there is one of the main streets in edinburgh. a shopping street. quietly off to the side there's security in place here and then around the corner is edinburgh castle. going down the street behind the castle past the market, climb the hill and then descend the royal mile down that very fay louse and ancient street to the

palace of holyroodhouse to the thrown throne room. the crowds are really yet to gather. the police and barriers are here. days like today memories are created for people. my brother and young son on the route hoping to catch a glimpse. i spoke to my mother about the coronation of the queen and remembers that and in the days after the coronation when the queen did a tour of the boroughs of london, watching the queen go back at school. these images and the things that people will see today and experiences they carry with them for their lives. we expect to see the area fill up. >> did you want to jump in?

>> nic took me back 40, 50 years. a kid in liverpool. the queen opens the new tunnel. it is about the moments of which she touched or lives. >> your face lit up when he said that. >> the queen was coming where i live to open the tunnel. >> imagine a career day with parents. nothing matters when the queen comes in. nothing else in the world matters. >> when you saw the queen and i saw her many times a presence. used to talk about that. you were in the presence. >> yeah. thank you for sharing that. thank you. stay with us. our special coverage will continue in a moment. you are watching cnn.

you are watching the continuing coverage of the death of queen elizabeth ii. her majesty. we are live here in edinburgh and the scottish countryside and also at the palace in -- buckingham palace in london watching the crowds grow there. max foster and christiane amanpour there and watching the throngs of people showing up. we'll follow the coverage of the death of the queen and the proclamation of king charles iii. in washington d.c., bo rice sanchez. boris? >> as we track the final farewell of queen elizabeth ii we watch the global outpouring of grief for the queen and the

british royal history. that legacy highlights the complex path that king charles has to confront as they demand accountability from the monarch over slavery. l let's bring in the global opinions editor for "the washington post" karen attea for an opinion. what about those that say it's not the right time to talk about britain's colonial past? >> i think people ask when is the appropriate time to talk about it? i think it's appropriate to say obviously that the queen was loved by many and a symbol of britain's past greatness and britt tin ruled a good portion of the world.

right? at the same time i think especially two years after an intense global reckoning over colonialism and racism and profited off of slavery and the passing of queen elizabeth is forcing a reckoning on the end of this era or at least the demands as you said in the introduction for reparations and justice and being able to know and understand the history. one thing that people don't know and don't talk about is in 1960s even britain hid or destroyed documents that detailed the brutalities in kenya and other colonies so the fact we have a difficult time to talk about the things because it was deliberate. i think that we were prevented

from being able to talk honestly about frankly how the royal family came to be wealthy and privileged and powerful. >> i heard the argument that many were still supportive of the queen and the president of can eny kenya came out with the remarks eulogyizing and the crown was popular in the societies that britain exploited? >> i take things with a grain of salt when governments show something. there are plenty of stories that need to be heard about how the

descendants in kenya are launching a lawsuit against the uk for torture and the crimes in that rebellion. if you look to india and ireland and to see people who are really taking this time to express just the fact that britain frankly is not necessarily as universally loved as they would hope to be. that's okay. that is what it means to be a part of a history that's checkered with greatness and cruelty in it. so that we can address these injustices going forward and the former colonies can take the place in history and throw off the shackles i think of

colonization. >> what would you like to see king charles do? >> many call for apologies. we can speak on end for the calls for britain to return many of the artifacts and cultural ar the i facts plundered from many countries. i think frankly at the very minimal least begin to address some of the issues to take them head on. >> karen, we very much appreciate your perspective. thank you. >> thank you. stay with cnn.

today the u.s. is marking 21 years since the 9/11 terrorist attacks when nearly 3,000 people lost their lives in the largest terrorist attack on u.s. soil. >> there are commemoration ceremonies in new york, the p&g and in pennsylvania. this is a live look in lower manhattan. memorial plaza where families and dignataries are there. the moment that american airlines flight 11 crashed into the north tower of the world trade center. polo sandoval has more on today's ceremonies.

>> reporter: good morning. the 9/11 families are coming together at the site where the twin towers once stood. they mark 21 years since the awful day. we expect about six moments of silence throughout the morning. they acknowledge when each plane hit and when the jetliners crashed into the pentagon and a field in shanksville, pennsylvania. the names will echo through the memorial plaza as officials come together including kamala harris and chuck schumer and department of homeland security secretary mayorkas. this is what he had to say about today's events. >> solemn day. this is a time to honor the lives lost. we honor them through days of commemoration like this.

ceremonies. even instances when we reflect on the lives lost and meant to us and through the work we do every day. first responders. those in department of homeland security. it is the victims' rights groups and don't forget the lives lost and reflect on the tragedy but we also redouble the resolve to keep our way of life. >> reporter: tonight once again the iconic tribute in light will shine toward the sky. the columns of light from lower manhattan. that's what to expect tonight. back to you. >> all right. thank you. we are continuing to remember the victims and survivors of 9/11. we'll go live to the pentagon next.

this morning a somber anniversary for the u.s. marking 21 years since the september 11th attacks. the biden administration joining victims' families this how shall and next as ceremonies honor the loved ones. president biden will participate in a wreath laying ceremony at the pentagon. >> let's take you there live with barbara starr. it was almost an hour from now, 9:37 a.m. i believe 21 years ago that flight 77 slammed into the west side of the pentagon. walk us through the significance of today's remembrance ceremony. >> it is so many years. there's always concern i think that does the nation not remember the details, not that anybody forgets, but as time passed that the edges become a

bit softer. the president being here, the commander in chief is a moment to pause and remember 184 souls lost that morning here at the pentagon. it is a very rainy morning outside here. so different than the late summer morning in 2001. you see the american flag down the side of the pentagon and on 9/11 late in the day when they unfurled that flag and happened every year since showing the memories if you will that the president will address when he is here speaking from the pentagon memorial just outside the building. a series of benches and trees commemorating the victims. those on the plane and those killed in the building. it is significant that every year so far we have seen a commander in chief come rain or

shine. rainy this morning but with the leadership they stand, reflect and remember. boris? >> i think we remember that day so clearly. etched into not just the memories but the emotions. can you take us back to where you were when the planes hit and fell? >> it was 9:30 in the morning. pretty early. most of the journalists that cover the building just beginning to filter inside. watching the attacks unfold in new york. suddenly my friends and colleagues have heard me say this so many times. suddenly a pentagon law enforcement officer came running down the hall screaming literally get out, get out. we have been hit. everybody get out. if you were on the other side of

the building this is a huge, huge area. you did not feel the plane hit the building and only knew it from tv and the officer essentially sounding the alarm. now after 21 years there's much more significant security and audio in the building. it was a chilling moment. 21 years ago i don't think america had the very sad history of terrorist attacks. not a lot of awareness. i woke up that morning. got dressed. came to work and didn't not expect the world to change for 21 years. what i think is so important and the president will reflect on this i think is the instant heroism at the pentagon. military tear personnel running

into the fire. trying to render aid in the initial moments. i was on the attack site before emergency services got here. you saw that heroism within seconds of the plane hitting the building. >> a most important thick to take away from the ugly day in the nation's history. barbara starr from the pentagon, thank you. we want to send thanks to don lemon following the farewell of queen elizabeth ii. thank you for sharing part of your sunday with us. 1/4 moisturizers is effectivive and kind to skin. leaving you feeling instantly y dry and confident. welcome to allstate where the safer you drive, the more you save like rachel here how am i looking? oking good! the most cauous driver we got am i there?

welcome to a special edition of "state of the union." there is a lot to reflect on as we cover two really important stories this morning. >> yeah why you said that right. here in scotland we see an outpouring of love, grief and deep respect as people turn out to pay respect to queen elizabeth ii and the hearse carrying the coffin. we follow the procession every step of the way at holyroodhouse in edinburgh. i look forward to being back with you later on in the hour. >> yes. we are at the table talking about 9/11 waiting for the first moment of silence about the north tower being hit for the first time. john, you were at the white house on 9/11. >> after the north tower was hit ift downtown and a prowse deer said it is probably a small plane but maybe head over

earlier. made the way to the white house. going through the north gate when they evacuated. remember that day as if it was yesterday. women running out of the white house and the heels falling off. >> let's pause for a moment in silence in new york marking the exact time when the first plane hit the north tower. ♪ [ bagpipes play ]

♪ ♪ ♪

>> i mean, just brings back all of the emotion, the horror, the disbelief. >> the confusion of the day. the fear. the questions throughout the day. i was going through the northwest gate of the white house just as they evacuated us and the producer and the crew fixed a camera on the residence and the west wing. i called to make sure the microphone is open. we were thinking a plane would hit the building and secret service gave us a few minutes. >> that's the vice president kamala harris in new york. >> on that day trying to figure

out -- we would find out they picked the then vice president dick cheney and taking him. presidential emergency center. taking the vice president. president bush was in florida from florida to louisiana to nebraska. we were reporting across the street. the secret service, the brave uniformed secret service with automatic weapons. never seen on the grounds of the white house. they couldn't leave why they thought a plaern was coming and stood there. just a day of confusion. it wasn't too long into that day people started -- we started to hear osama bin >> that's right. it's marred to realize there are these moments that there's a before and an after. that was one of these moments. we were in moscow.

we were reporters for "the washington post." we were in moscow deep inside the russian ministry of defense when the first plane hit and we didn't know what to think of it. we moved on with this pentagon delegation to a press conference in the middle of the press conference, the second plane hit and a very, very large uniformed marine came in and physically dragged the pentagon officials out. it was vladimir putin who was the very first world leader to call president bush that day. it's a reminder that our first instincts about what the consequences of a catastrophe are going to be aren't necessarily what actually results. of course, today you have russia at war, not only with ukrainian but a rift really with the united states and the rest of the woeft earn world. >> everything has chingd in so many ways. abby phillip. >> especially for people in my generation, i was in the eighth grade when 9/11 happened.

most of my adult life -- most of my life has been in the post 9/11 world. those moments, as you were saying, in those moments of silence, it brings you back to the feeling of dread, the feeling of uncertainty in those days. i group up not far from washington, just a few miles north of here, and my dad was working in downtown d.c. that day, and i remember being in the classroom, and the word just passing like wildfire in our school. they rolled our tv in so we could start to watch the news, but we were on lockdown because everyone in this surrounding area, kids in school, people at work, didn't know whether to stay or to go. eventually we did go home. eventually my dad came home after trying to get through basically gridlock in washington. duh my whole life basically has been shaped by that moment. our entire understanding -- my generation, millennials and those who are younger than us,

our entire generations are shaped by this world to the point where there is almost no memory of the world that comes before it. so many people, people who were born on 9/11. my niece was born on 9/11. and those kids are, they are of voting age. they are participating in our democracy today and they are living in a world that has before forever changed by those moments. >> talking about -- no question, abby. you were talking about being at the white house and watching women in particular running so fast they were losing their shoes. i was at the capitol on 9/11. same kind of scene. we thought we were okay. we were evacuated to the lawn right outside of the capitol building. then all of a sudden the capitol police started to scream run, run for your life. i turns out, we learned later,

that that's when they knew that flight 93 which ended up crashing in pennsylvania thanks to some real heroes was headed either towards the white house or the capitol. turns out it was the capitol. again, the feeling of seeing and hearing the people who were there to protect you having fear because they didn't know what was happening. >> you could see it in their eyes. the secret service was screaming "run." just screaming. to abby's point, hannah, my older children, were third grade and first grade. first you're doing your job. and then my children, in suburban d.c. are they okay? are they locked down? that was the juggle of the day. and the immediate thing, where was the president? was it safe to bring him back to washington? again, you find out -- i remember karen hughes, marry madeline went with vice president dick cheney down to

the presidential emergency operations center. no switchboard to get through there. cell phones weren't working most of the day. still 21 years later, every time i hear these names read, it gives me chills. it's incredibly important to remember that day and the heroes who died that day in all locations. incredibly important to remember. you can connect to susan's points, big events change world history. in the uk, they're wondering what the death of the queen will do. 9/11 changed everything. you can trace it back to the creation of the tsa, creation of the department of homeland security, a scrambling of the security state including some steps that went too far and you can look at our politics today. it was a moment, you mentioned the putin call, it brought the world together. it's hard to remember, in the messy world we live in now, there was a brief period of global community, not just american unity.

iraq war is a legacy of 9/11. that braus ut obama presidency and the nativism and the fear and xenophobia has brought us trump. >> i want to bring in barbara starr at the pentagon. i know it's always a difficult day and an odd day, because it's also your birthday. i guess it's time to say happy birthday. it chas hangd this day for you forever. i've heard you tell the story multiple times, of cow waking up saying, oh, it's a beautiful day. i think i'll have an easy day today. it's my birthday, and then the world changed. your world in particular changed being at the pentagon. >> so much like all americans. permit me to say just for one minute the one piece of good news is i was able to call my

family before the cell phones went down. of course, they know that i worked inside the pentagon. so they were able to hear from me, but moving on from that. it is the heroism that immediately emerged in this building. i got out very quickly and was on the side of the building where you see the memorial, the actual impact site of flight 77 where 184 souls here lost their lives. the fire was massive, and even before emergency services could get here, the police were calling for anybody who had medical training to please step for forward, and what you saw were dozens and dozens of military personnel rushing forward to do whatever they could to help. it would be the beginning of a real journey of some 21 years. heroism in the seconds after the plane hit and all the way to the heroism that we saw at kabul

international airport during the very troubled withdrawal and evacuation several months ago when so many service members again lost their lives in a terrorist bomb. it always strikes me that that really has brack ket d /* /* what was the war in afghanistan. sure, the years have gone on and there are less and less people here at the pentagon that served in an active duty combat zone that most of the young people joining the military today will never see combat in afghanistan, gom bat in iraq. that's a good thing, that they will not have to serve in combat, that they will not be terribly wounded or their families will not have to make the ultimate sacrifice. but it is now again a new era in the u.s. military.

i think it's very fair to say the u.s. military, a bit of the 9/11 era in that operations have changed, people will not see these combat zones and we will see how it all moves forward. the thing that doesn't change, president biden, the u.s. commander-in-chief, paying his respects today here at the pentagon in just a short time, marking the time the plane hit. but really paying respects across the nation and across the world to those who were killed at all three impact sites, and to the sacrifice i think that the u.s. military and military families have made now for so many years. >> so well said. i want to go back to new york. right now polo sandoval, you're there. 21 years ago, people were super unclear about what that first plane really was, was it a small plane. we didn't really know. obviously shortly after we knew because a second plane hit.

you're there at the site. what are you seeing? >> 21 years ago there was so much we did not know at that moment. here we are 21 years later as we approach the second moment of silence which will mark the moment that the second tower was hit by the aircraft. and what was really striking to me, dana, in spending some time around those memorial pools, are these families that come in it's clear that this date clearly brings back the memories, the pain. but i have to say there was also a sense of pride that these families carried with them literally. many of them wearing buttons with their loved one's faces on them. they come to the memorial with flowers on hand to remember that day, but more than anything to celebrate the legacy of their loved ones. i think that was perhaps the most striking thing for me this morning and spending time at the memorial plaza where these names, close to 3,000 names echo

through that hallowed ground, that second space as we approach the second moment of silence, marking the moment that the second aircraft hit the south tower here in new york. >> and 21 years since the family members we're seeing now and every other one in new york reading off the family members' names that they have not been with, their father, brother, uncle, daughter, son, husband. >> dana, i grew up just outside new york city, and i just recently saw my neighbor who has lived there for decades alongside my parents, he lost his son on 9/11, scott johnson. he was one of my brother's closest friends. my brother went back and wrote about the family a few years later. that was a tragedy that changed their family -- >> susan, i want to continue the story. for a moment we'll watch president biden laying a wreath at the pentagon.
