it more about the reaction in the u. k to the queen's death. um, well i think as i said, it was a shock and sadness very beginning. i think as i left the u. k. i at edinburgh airport yesterday. i tried to speak to as many people i can could from different ages and, and there was turning into this enormous gratitude for what she did in her life and how she, how she was the glue of the country pianist this gratitude, thankfulness i, i think this is also why bergen's just said about, they're expecting 20000000 people to want, whether they will get to want to file past the the coffin and this is unprecedented them. it's unbelievable to think of that amount of people. and it is this a gratitude, respect, these old fashioned hats. i keep saying, you know that that has been unbelievable for 70 years. she is never faltered robin,

can you tell me more about this stretch of road where the coffins now being brought along? you've just come back from scotland, haven't you? i believe the the coffin is making its way from hollywood house palace to san jose cathedral along this famous royal. this royal mile through central edinburgh. indeed, it is making its way to some jobs cathedral where the service will be held. i mean, yeah, it's the, it's, it's the main drag as they say of, of the city. i would say the only other famous street is princess street. and it's amazing to see the amount of people gathered there as i say, to pay there just as we saw it with emily speaking to a few people of all ages. that is also very much surprised me in edinburgh. yes, they are ready young of all ages from the youngest person i spoke to was mat 10

and the oldest person older than i have been and it was all the this word respect and the gratitude people of god over they. you know, even people who knew this queen for such a short period of time in comparison. yeah. yeah. yeah. and i mean, well, i think it's come from their parents telling them about the queen and really about history. of course, there was blanket coverage in england on all channels and there's lot of history being shown to the younger generation really and how the world has changed since she became queen the her 1st. a prime minister was churchill, her 1st president was truman harry truman. although all that way back there and the world has modernized as we know, and she went with it all the way. i mean,

incredible for let's go over now to emily gordon. she's standing by for us in central edinburgh. emily, could you tell us about what's happening right now? so the queen's coffin has left the palace poly read house. it is now making its way up. the royal mile and up and down cathedral. it's going quite slow and just as it did in other places around scotland is going slow so that people really do have the time to catch a glimpse to see her coffin, to say good bye, and to pay that. sure. beats as she goes past the coffin is draped in the royal standard of scotland, which is the flag represents the sovereign in scotland. so once you arrive at the club, southside and the coffin is actually followed by king charles, he's leading the procession behind the coffin. and he is joined by other members of

a royal family. once they get ti, sandusky 60 joel, a service will be held there and a vigil will follow in the evening as well and will be attended biking. charles and other members of the royal family. i think it's amazing that every one of these people in this crowd gets the opportunity, as emily says, to bid farewell to you to see the coffin to be part of this it, it says so much about a democracy, although where we're saying good bye to a monarch here, a robin, is it something you want to say about that to, to viewers around the world who may not understand that the connection? well, this is as you know, pump and pageantry we're seeing right now. and the brits rather good at that. i'm, i'm trying to remember the quotation from a very famous assist and constitution as to the 19th century world bank shall said,

the more we liked democracy, the more we like pageantry or it's it's that's it's meaning on most probably misquote him slightly. and it's true people do like this, they do like to see this that and this continuation as we saw a marine and see it physically. but as we saw, the moment the queen died. we had king charles that moment within 2 days, there is there a session and it, it is a continuation people like that. they like that something firm to hold on. all important are also important. there's no vacuum. is that the dresser, how a vacuum? well, there was often talk about whether it would be handed further on to william, but i don't think it was ever in the minds of the queen. she would counsellor at all. you know, i think by the way, this is very good for scotland because,

you know, i'm in the best towns of royalty with scotland except the queen. as i said earlier, you know, the queen's always been very popular in scotland and she's always loved scotland herself. um, i mean, if you go back in right back to 1822 king george the 4th paid the 1st royal visit to the city of edinburgh in a 170. he is. well, have you been there before? so, you know, and he most probably went reluctantly, i don't know or, you know, this is very good for, for, for, for scotland. and hopefully for, for the monic is well, and i guess at a time of so much uncertainty not as globally, but for the u. k, considering what you guys have just gone through with breads it well, it breaks it of course and also i think what we've just gone through and are going through politically as well. it seems pretty chaotic there to me or

talking to people as i have. i was actually on holiday in england, but you never stop paying it to hear your voice asking people their opinions. and i think my brother sounded up best read his head. he thought brittan was going through a mental breakdown with boris johnson. at his a vineyard. you know this, this continuation which the queen was so amazing at and, and the cost is such a shame. she's gone that such a shame. she's gone any time. but let's go to edinburgh, a game of where we're watching life pictures of the queen's coffin being carried through the scottish capital. emily gordon is there for us, emily? could you sum up your feelings or your take on the day? yes, i mean really it's a historic day at the end of an era. oh,

many people have described it. you know, there are people from all walks of life of all ages. i hear, you know, to day kids describe her as the grandma of the nation. and others have looked to her in times of you know, crisis or instability because she was always such a constant. and she always found the right words in a moment when other leaders didn't. and so the, the overall sentiment that i, that i see or feel here is a deep connectedness to the queen at the. i'm a deep, a personal affection for her and, and she will be missed. i mean, you know, i mean she's, she's been coming her for the better part of our 70 year reign. she comes, she used to come to her almost every summer. and that mean something to people here that presents that, that sort of feeling that is part of the community. and i mean her and mother was

scottish. so she is seen as one of them and, and that in that, in that way that she connects to scotland. she also is a uniting figure in the country. that is politically and you know, in some way is quite divided. and not that unifying ability. and was very unique and that will be missed very daily. so a very scottish queen, as you heard there from emily, emily, what, what, what was your response, or how did you feel when you heard about the news of the queen passing away? while i think it was not necessarily shocking because it was sort of expected in a way and she was 96 and yet it feels very much like the end of an era and she's been around for so long. i don't know any. i don't know, another monarch, i don't know any other head of the united kingdom and it's going to be interesting

to see what once he tell her child is going to be different. now he's a, he's, he's eating, he would isn't. he didn't enjoy as much popularity as the queen i'd say, especially after the debacle was diana. i think that for some universe of hon. scott and and now listening to his speech, it does feel though, like he is trying to step up like he's trying to be the monarch. but his mother was . so i'm sad to see the queen go, but i'm also hopeful that he will follow her footsteps. and i think that sort of how many people will feel here, although, you know, something that i've also noticed here that there are discussions about, okay, the queen has now passed on. what next with the monitoring? i think that's also an important question that he can address in some way or another. so i'm, i'm curious to see how the debate had

a conversation volleyball from here on what your, what now with monica robin, where were you, when the news came through about the grades there? well, us hours in northumberland actually, which is a county just just beneath scotland and i, i was as i said, there was going about renting it to, to see a play. and i think, yeah, emily has a very good point. you know what now for, for, for the monarchy, and especially in scotland, and nothing will be serge or the in the next week at all. but i think nicholas sturgeon, in the future will see this is a new opportunity. she wants to have another vote on scottish independence. the queen, queen elizabeth, was the popular royal in scotland. and for people who don't know there is a certain animosity between england and scotland friendly animosity, say,

but as they know, they tried to a vote for independence. some years back didn't succeed, they want to do it again. chorus johnson didn't let them um and we it will be very interesting to watch it. however, king charles, the 3rd is very aware of this as well. and he wants to, i, i'm sure he will do something about it. let's just go to emily one more time. ah, well, we can, emily just explained to us. so what we're watching here. the the queen's coffin being carried through the scottish capital, a procession there with king charles the 3rd yes of the coffin is now on its way to saint giles cathedral. it is draped in the scottish them and let him in raul standard, which is the flag that represents the sovereign here in scotland and why it was

making its way down to edinburgh. it was also, it also carry a flowers on top. and these flowers are taken from her beloved from moral estates. and once she reaches angel's cathedral, she will lie in and rest there for 24 hours. and the crown of scotland will actually also be on top of a coffin. the interesting thing to note here about this kind of scotland is that it is the oldest jewel grove account, all that exists and great britain, and it's called the crown of scotland because and scotlands, england weren't always nice and, and they have a such their own crown jewels on this as this represent scotland, and it really is scotlands way as well of saying good buying, which i think is very special. so she belie investor for 24 hours and to morrow.

oh, she will line master if it's one house, which means that can shuffle past the coffin. they can say their personal good byes, and pay that tributes. and to morrow the coffin will be flying out to london. it will be accompanied by the queen's daughter princess anne, and meanwhile, king charles will actually then be travelling off to belfast on ireland. and later on this week, he'll be going to cottage in wales and we gotten for us there in the scottish capital. edinburgh, thank you very much for your recording. we're looking at like pictures of the procession carrying queen elizabeth's coffin, making its way along the royal mile in edinburgh. king charles leading the procession, so to speak of behind the coffin. of course, along with his 3 siblings as it was taken from hollywood house to since giles cathedral, members of the public getting a chance that to view the procession. and the coffin procession moving very slowly

to give everyone a chance. and a members of the public will also have the chance to view the coffin at the cathedral for the next 24 hours. as emily pointed out there before, it's fine to buckingham palace in london. on tuesday way, even bigger crowds, a gathering hour, corresponded in london for throwing around some huge numbers before which of course is going to mean a huge security operation. one of the biggest london will have ever seen and some huge waiting times, or people who do want to say good bye to the queen. some expert saying it could take 20 hours and you're not going to be allowed to camp in that line. that will be moving line so a long night for some people are robin. it's incredible that people would wait that long. i guess people will be.
