where crowds have gathered to pay tribute to the queen. the united kingdom has entered a period of public morning that will last until the day after her funeral are corresponding current. osman is in front of buckingham palace in london, where many are still struggling to make sense of the situation. you'd have to be in your seventy's to remember a time before queen elizabeth. she's been round for that long, and this really did seem like one of those days where when you wake up, everything is changed. this is been the end of a 70 year era in this country. and now the beginning of a new one with king charles the 3rd, you know, in speaking with a lot of people, they do feel some uncertainty around the, the situation of course, as a new prime minister here as well. but this has been something that many people have been trying to prepare for. they knew it was coming. they might be shocked,

but they're not surprised at the death of queen elizabeth, of course, to day the focus has been on her, her life, her duty, and her service to this country and speaking with a lot of people. that's why they wanted to come out here today and to leave flowers and other signs of remembrance at bucking balance. it's not just people laying flowers, so how have people there in london been paying their thing lately? it feels like almost a city wide, a country wide pilgrimage that there have been thousands of people coming here to the palace, arriving at windsor arriving at the queen's residence in scotland as well. but you are right. it goes so far beyond flowers. i spoke with one elderly woman, she was in a wheelchair asked her, why did you come today? and she said, i felt like i had to and that's that kind of sense of duty of being a pilgrimage. i met another woman who had actually walked here from blocking palace all the way to saint paul's cathedral across town. after laying flowers here. she

said, i just needed to be near that remembrance ceremony at the cathedral. you see everywhere though in london on the taxi cab drivers have flags attached to their famous black cat, you see signs of condolences in store fronts. even the billboards had been changed for the most part to a picture of the clean. this is truly the beginning of a nation wide morning process. it just to getting started on day one. and he will take a while for people here to begin to process that the queen is indeed gone and that this is the end of a longer her last one in london when he thinks well in his 1st address as sovereign, the new king paid tribute to his mother and pledged the rest of his life to the service of the british people and the commonwealth. he also said he can count on the loving support of his wife, camilla, who is now queen consort in a little over a week's time. we will come together as a nation, as a commonwealth,

and indeed a global community to lay my beloved mother to rest. in our sorrow, let us remember and draw strength from the light of her example. on behalf of all my family, i can only offer the most sincere and heartfelt thanks for your condolences and support. they mean more to me than i can ever possibly express. and to my darling mamma. as you begin your last great journey to join my dear late papa, i want simply to say this. thank you. thank you for your love and devotion to our family and to the family of nations. you have

served so diligently all these years. may flights of angels sing thee to thy rest? i can now talk about this to the w. hannah clever hannah the 1st speech of king charles the 3rd. now officially, what did you make of it? it was interesting, wasn't it? the last bit that we've just heard was really quite emotional. i think that is a signal that he's really trying to become a little bit more emotionally open than perhaps his mother was. and to beset that signal that he's going to be a bit more modern. his speech is very interesting. he started off by going in quite great detail into that. the length from the depth of the service and the duty that his mother had delivered to the, to the country as, as he put it. and then said that he had the phrase than i to now solemnly pledge in

the time left me by god to uphold constitutional principles at the heart of our nation. i think that's quite interesting that mission, that really should signal a change in his behavior as a prince. he's been quite active. i'm quite politically active. he used to write letters to ministers, asking them to change policy on areas that he was particularly interested in. and i think that's gonna have to stop now as an actual, the king. he really can't be meddling in day to day politics. i think that's a recognition of that fact. and then he was talking about his 2 sons, william, who as the eldest son, is now become prince of wales. also g cornwall, that she is worth. i've been told at least a 1000000000 pounds. it's a huge land owning dutchy. it includes villages and you know, half of dark more. and he also mentioned harry, who, you know, is a little bit of the black sheep of the family, of that generation, at least of the family. but he expressed what he said to was his love for his 2nd

son and wished him and his wife making all the best in their life abroad. so he really wanted to, i think, to come from this very traditional duty driven or mentioning of his mother then through t that into the future. and then potentially portraying the slightly warmer, more modern monarchy that he may built. so possibly setting the tone for what's to come, can we expect for his oldest son for william to be a little more involved in the royal duties because they are tremendously popular in the u. k. or it would be really smart move. charles is not half as popular as his mother was a, nor as popular as his eldest son is. and i think he needs to take some of the shine from his mother and borrow some of the shine from his eldest son. and i think it will be very smart to keep william close. william and kate have been doing more of the official duties over the last couple of years and they had before their children, a slightly older they're all at school now. so they've got time. and i think

charles is really going to have to serve as this transition king to the next generation. although he did say in the speech that he would earn, serve his country for as long as god gave him time. so who knows where he'll actually continue working till the end of his days? he is 73, isn't he? so can we expect a lot of modernizing to come from him or is this just a 1st step? maybe in a direction that he's then not going to pursue any further. i think it depends how much advice he takes from william. i think william and kate do have a kind of coterie around them that really would like to push the mana key into the 21st century. i mean, we're already 22 years into it, but it's time they try to catch up. and if you listen to them, i think he could take the 1st steps into a modern monarchy that's more open. that is, in some way, perhaps a little bit democratic but he does still carry a lot of his mother and she,

although she rolled with the changes she was 96, she was born a very long time ago and was not a modernized or is we would think of it now, and i will get right back to you. but 1st we want to look at the ways that a nation is saying goodbye today. in the historic saint paul's cathedral mornings from all walks of life congregated to pay their respects to the you case longest serving monarch prime minister list trust and opposition leader king stammer were among the attendees. hundreds of others had queued up for tickets to the events to commemorate the queen's life and legacy earlier in the day than now, king charles greeted well wishes outside buckingham palace where emotions were still ra unfairly. for girls, sandra jordan,

with love, joy that are obviously very precious place to come to emerged. rodriguez? sure. a joy the sport also celebration king charles and his wife camila made their way through the palace gates for the 1st time as king and queen consort. there's no doubt that to many the new king has big shoes to fill king chose the 3rd one will obviously roland ryan ah to the very best the visibility i would like to thought about it from the clean. i think i was very, very special on it, and she wasn't only the longish writing more, not infrastructure for i think she was the best, but more not likely in british history. buckingham palace announced that charles

will be officially proclaimed king on saturday. a moment he is prepared for his entire life. many hope then you monarch will leave out to his mother's image by keeping a steady hand at the helm as the u. k. now, the gates through turbulent times and hana clever is still with me here. now we saw a lot of very emotional responses there to the queen's passing. how come all these people had such a strong connection with the monarch who is a person who lives in a sort of ivory tower arrayed far removed from everyday life? well yeah, i mean, maybe not ivory towers, but several different palaces in carson. and it's really interesting and psychological question that has been fascinating me for a long time. quite frankly, as i've been looking at all of this, is that people are very genuinely distressed by the death of women that if they

couldn't possibly ever have known. and yet they feel that they did. and i think that was part of the art, the queen elizabeth practice all the way through her grins, but the 2nd pretzels, the way through her rain, was to kind of give people enough of an opening to make them so to make them feel like they knew her like they had a reason to emotionally engage with her and it actually not show them very much if anything of herself. so they were then a, was a brick gomez project on to her. anything that they wanted. you know, people talked about how she funny, she is a peer, how dutiful she was and how they, she meant so much them. and then if you dig deeper, they often don't really have a reason of why they're so sad or why they loved her so much. but the feelings there are very strong and, and definitely not to be discounted, even if one might not share them. and she was a constant, right? she was an institution, she was there when she came to power. the world was a completely different one. well, yeah. and the british empire was still

a thing. um, so yeah, she's, she's been there forever. but how much does she, how much of road did she ever really play in people's daily lives? that's what i would ask is that why if, if she wasn't really part of your daily life, and yet you feel so sad when she's died and gone? and i find it banging and fascinating all at the same time and is very powerful. that's not to be denied. i mean, i was a very young reporter when princess diana died in 1997. and i was out in the streets talking with people. see this sea of flowers outside kensington palace. it was astounding. but that's perhaps more understandable because she was a young woman who died in an accident. this is an elderly lady who, who died. oh, you know, as one would expect, she was daily a 100 years old and yet p plus, so terribly affected by it. and that's a powerful thing. but, you know, if charles is smart, he will be able to tap into that into that strength of feeling and use that to help

him kind of take this new path. i mean, he and his mother that their prime aim is to maintain the monarchy. and that has required a lot of sh, fairly small moves and will require some more modernization if he is to carry on because she had that weight separate to years of people for whatever reason, feeling like they loved her. like they knew her, he has been in the public high for almost that long. yes. that $73.00 so or longer than that. but he doesn't have that strength of emotional connection with people yet. he'll have to work to get it. yeah. she worked very hard to get a didn't she, she kind of transitioned the monarchy or from, from the monarch being a ruler to being a servant of the people. how much did that help the monarchy survive through these turbulent times in the 20th century? well, it was a very smart rebranding, right. you know, if you look at some of the european monarchies that have survived, they've gone,

you know, the, the way of the dutch monarchy, you know, they're the cycling, monica, they're not, we're not so much in the golden carriages and stuff. and yet the british monarchy has managed to maintain the castles, the money, the land that this kind of respect is distance from people were all somehow with the idea that they are serving the people. it was a very smart rebranding. exercise. how much they really serve is another question i think which one could go into. but the idea of switching that i, that, that, that image for being the rulers, to the servants. that was very clever. thank you very much. and i clever well president's prime minister is monarchs and world leaders have paid tribute to the life and service of queen elizabeth. the 2nd remembrances are coming in from all around the globe. ordinary people have also pay their respect to the woman who was the face of britain and commonwealth for more than 7 decades.

o moving fair will war cry for the queen. new zealand pays homage to her majesty with a ceremonial mar, re hacker, dance. 7 9 to shake short to mark each year of elizabeth. the 2nd life in australia's capital, cambra in sydney, morn askew, to pay a personal tribute to her. many are shocked and saddened. the world today has lost a true g. m. a world leader who was not in it for herself that you know, her family in the country was what came 1st. yeah. think of our world will

be sad for her. for hipaa. i remember her long ryan and she'd been a great example to the world of dignity and grace and faithfulness and nothing. somehow that has left the world. you know something we've lost something that might be we'll never again, will never be any one like her or for that length of time. the queen's death was felt from africa to the pacific. in the hours following the announcement of her death, city landmarks across the globe were lit up in her honor. others turned to darkness. and flowers were laid outside, british embassies and consulates. we'd have ghosts between i didn't always associated breton with the queen and it moved me so much when i heard that she died and that surprised me on is mazique. when i would like to send my condolences to

the british people let one of jani, we feel sorry for her death. oh lord huh. we wish your mercy. we unfortunately all we have lost them. one of the greatest queens of the times we live in the father, la hamilton review, blacks have been lowered to half mast to mark the passing of the monarch. tribute are expected to continue as the u. k. wakes up to a new era here in germany, the british royal family is still very popular, although germany abolished its own monarchy more than a century ago. queen elizabeth had german roots, but during the 1st world war, the house of sax, cobra, gothic england, changed its name and became the house of windsor. none the less, a mutual affection and dort ah,

the germans and the queen, there was affection on both sides. they clearly liked each other. over half a century, the queen made 5 state visits to germany more than to most other countries in the world. but the relationship took a little time to warm up. it was 2 decades after the end of hostilities that the british monarch set foot on germans soil for the 1st time since the end of the war . the queen's visit was considered a gesture of reconciliation by west germans. very early on the german public was very sympathetic with his young queen. she was a very modern woman at the time she had a love marriage, so she, she chose her husband herself, and her husband, prince philip pant german routes. although this was played down to the british public, as was the queen's own heritage,

elizabeth the 2nd was also descended from german nobility. when the queen returned in 1978, she found a much more self confident. morton, west germany relations between the 2 countries had by now normalized her 3rd state visit in 1992 was to a re unified germany. the queen at the former border crossing checkpoint charlie the queen's visit, was seen as a positive gesture at a time when many britons were fearful of a german resurgence. she received a warm welcome in the reinstated german capital. germans are by and large, really not monarchists, but it's lovely to have a 1 o'clock next door. it doesn't cost anything at all, and you get all the glamour in 2004, she was back in berlin again. this time was the speech with an unusually clear political aspect in which she acknowledged victims on both sides in world war 2 to learn from history to look beyond simplistic stereotypes,

she realize how often we share the same outlook. her final visit to germany was in 2015. as always, the queen emphasized the deep connections between britain and germany. we can seize a constant interest or between 2 countries, which heart become again, very friendly in 5 decades of i think, very stable and on franklin relationships between germany on 3 lighted kingdom. queen elizabeth, the 2nd will be remembered as a friend of germany. he w chief, political correspondent melinda crane, sent us this found the british embassy here in berlin, where people have also been commemorating the late monarch at what is normally a quiet and highly secured square in the heart of berlin. a steady stream of

mourners is coming to lay flowers and pay homage to queen elizabeth the 2nd here in front of the british embassy. the queen herself, was here to open this building in 2011 years after the wall fell, and berlin was re united. it was the 1st time a reigning monarch had inaugurated an embassy in a sign of her special ties to germany. she's often seen as a force of reconciliation between britain and germany. not only after the 2nd world war, but also after german reunification in 1992, just 3 years after the berlin wall had fallen, she travelled to dressed in a city that had been annihilated by british and american forces in the fire bombing at the, towards the end of world war 2, she met with a cool reception. there were protests and egg where's throne? and yet that didn't deter her from becoming

a major donor to the reconstruction of dresden most important landmark, the church of our lady, a magnificent church that had been entirely destroyed. it was her, her efforts, including a major benefit conference concert here in berlin. that helped to fund the golden coupla that now adorns the church and was constructed in britain by artisans who included the son of one of the pilots who had destroyed the church. that is the reconciliation for which the queen stood. queen elizabeth's impact also extended into the world of sports where she engaged in decades of patronage and support in both the united kingdom and further afield. remembrances and tributes have come in from all around the world and formula one race weekends. italy's manzona is usually one of the loudest towns in the country, but prior to friday's practice race,

a respectful still reigned instead of the typical roaring bedlam, thanks to a moment of silence held for england, queen elizabeth reactions were similar all over the world of sports. the international olympic committee through their flag at half mast at their headquarters in switzerland. i see president thomas buff pay tribute to the fallen monarch with the passing of her majesty queen elizabeth the 2nd. we have lost a great supporter of sport and of the olympic movement. a mattress the was the only head of state to declare open to additions of the olympic games and was already present at the olympic games. london 1948 moments of silence were also held prior to your open league and to a conference league matches on thursday night. shortly after the news of queen
