formality, the ceremonial steps that king charles iii will now take and yesterday if anything we got to see a more human side of him out meeting the public, and also giving us a speech in the evening and gauging the reaction of the public to that. today it is the formalities as you mentioned this is the first time that we would see something like this broadcast on television. it is a real moment within our history and what they hope to see is the sort of thing that we imagine to be traumatized, you see somebody who will come out into the balcony, trumpeters will play and they will formally announce that king charles iii is the new king and it is a moment within our history that many of us will probably never see again, maybe see again with the princess of whales. if we're lucky. it will really go down in history that it's just a real important moments within the monarchy. >> a spectacle as well.

>> a spectacle. something to behold. >> and it was extraordinary at buckingham palace says that we had so many people pay tribute to wanted to bring flowers, to the gates of buckingham palace and to get here you can see all the barriers going up but really prepared for more people to want to come and. >> at the moment behind us where loving the flowers over to make plays for the number's expected here today. everything that we're seeing at the moment has been meticulously planned by the crown. things are obviously open to change depending on what king charles himself once. but it is really, we saw yesterday, he seems keen to really be able to gauge what the public think of him. he didn't need to come out and meet the people when he arrived at buckingham palace. but that was the first thing he wanted to do. and it was quite a moment in itself. wasn't. it to see the reaction from the people. you saw the spontaneous singing. you saw people clapping, people wanting to kiss his hand.

and if anything, i mean. this must be a daunting time for him to get his head around, not only the death of his mother but also what he has to go through in becoming the new monarch but actually i think surely he will be taking some reassurance from that reaction that he got yesterday and no doubt will see the same today. >> absolutely, while dealing with his own grief of. course >> of course. >> we'll be with you for the. moment for the morning. thanks. so as we mentioned, charles the third will be formally proclaimed king during a ceremony at st. james's palace this morning. the accession council only convenes after the days of the monarch but the last time it happened was 1952. our correspondent joe pike explains the process. it will be the first major ceremony and events following the death of the queen when king charles iii will be proclaimed sovereign. the ceremony dates back to anglo-saxon times and it is always taken place in private, until now. proceedings today started at 10

[inaudible] [inaudible] >> northern ireland is the corner of the united kingdom, where you'll find the most loyal subjects of the crier. and the least loyal. but even in this divided society where some are not fans of the monarchy, there is broad consensus that queen elizabeth herself personally made that enormous contribution to the search for peace. the queen may lead the way on reconciliation. her legacy challenges a new generation to make the same pledge for peace. david blevins, sky news, in belfast. well along with the coming prince of wales william will always take on the kings scottish titles which king said meant so much to him. it was said that the queen was happiest there at balmoral castle where she spent her summers, and where she spent her final days. our chief correspondent greg marlin has been hearing from people there about that very personal connection.

and the village where they call the queen the neighbor who was a quiet ceremony to it all, a ride for those taking flowers to balmoral, the small meticulous details, the transition they knew would come. but dread all the same. >> in the shop last night, we just broke down completely, both my wife and i. >> they saw different queen here, and remain grateful that she called this place. home >> it's the loss of a friend and a neighbor that we feel, as well as a monarch. we hear a lot of a lot of people talking about the end of an era. but we have a new king already and i think it's the start of a new era. >> across the world, the butcher who made sausages for the family barbecues, jon sinclair saw the queen only weeks ago. >> it's just a massive blow. the queen arrived. and people say the queens in time.

matthews is there for us and james give us an idea of what the next few days will hold from their? >> i think it will be busy here, and i think today, it's quite here this morning. in balmoral. the activity clearly around the practicalities of change that the monarchy has shifted's. but, we will hear details today about procedure from here on in, and the focus will shift back in towards the balmoral estate when we shoot details around the movement of the queen's body from here, south, originally towards algebra. and then towards london. we will hear details about the logistics, and about the ceremony involved, and also details around the public access as the queen makes her final journey south, there are members of the royal family here and many of the queens grandchildren are still in the bell moral estate, eugene,

beatrice, the daughters of andrew, zero we think is here. and of course princess and. and i hope we see in balmoral, some of them, members have been turning up at the gates to pay and tributes and there is always the opportunity i suppose for members of the royal family to take what's here as well. the opportunity for them to come out and have a look, perhaps, engage, interact with the people, some of the people that you heard from around this area who knew the queen as a member of the community, as a customer in the shop, as a new neighbor they would say hello in a fairly regular basis so she was a part of this community that people fell very warmly to her and we have seen many of them turning up here in the case of balmoral. also many tourists as well have come here and people from around scotland, we've spoken to people from the likes of

east, and the central germany a couple of hundreds of miles to pay their respects so, we've seen that over the recent days, and not of shock really but of regretful acceptance and a very sorrowful atmosphere of quite large numbers. but not much noise. people have come here quietly, respectfully, over the past couple of days as they well i imagine when the queen's body has moved, and as i say, that we should hear more detailed specifics about how the public can engage with that process. later today. >> james, yes, a somber mood here at buckingham palace as well, a similar feline suspect. james matthew, sarah bundle, thanks very much indeed. >> well in england, two communities have come together in grief for the queen and consider the future of king charles, our chief

correspondent david ramsey has this report. >> a dead stride stream of people signing the book in the street of thames. the people -- who love the queen in the royal family close to their hearts. the late afternoon mass took on a different feel, in many ways it became one of the first memorial services to queen elizabeth the second. the news of the queen's passing genuinely seems to come as quite a shock to many here. it's something the clergy had anticipated, and believe that in the coming days there would be called upon to give support, and guidance. >> i think that people will probably be slightly taken by surprise, as you often say when people live very long. although you feel that it shouldn't be a shock, and that everybody would've expected it, actually the fact that they've lived so long, you start to feel almost like the person is eternal and it's like the rock

star that makes it really more difficult so i think that people will be taken by surprise. >> that means rcep place for sure. but there was something different. a certain sense of loss. people not quite sure what to do with themselves. >> we had the listing which we had before and presumed that she would be our rights and then you suddenly hear that she died. and it was quite shocked! >> the length and breadth of the uk, people have their own memories and their own stories about the queen. >> i had the privilege to work for her majesty with angela kelly on a book for the diamond jubilee. >> he collaborated on a book celebrating the queens coronation. he ended up working for her for three years. like so many others. she changed his life. >> she was very humble and very kind.

and just a very patient woman. actually, i found. and a nazi sense of humor. >> the queen assassin we now have a king. that's how it works. as centuries old tradition that ensures that we always have a figurehead. it means that nothing has changed. although of course in reality everything has changed. stuart ramsey, sky news, heavy on thames. while the death of the queen means that king charles has not just become head of state of the united kingdom, but also 14 other countries including new zealand, jamaica, and canada. the ceremony to proclaim britain's new king is new to take place in ottawa today and the skies martha keller was there. canada is one of 16 sovereign states and which the queen was monarch at the time of her death. you can see behind me there is queen who left their home tooth see their condolences.

an opportunity to require the memories of the queen and why she meant so much for them and for many the memories are personal, are seeing or meeting the queen on one or more of her 22 visits to canada and this is the country that she visited the most outside of the united kingdom. so a lot of finance for her here and i'm just gonna bring in john, who's from canada. can you explain what the queen means to this country? >> well, it was an important kind of a walk for us for many people it just felt comfort with her and for me i came because i was awarded. and i'm wearing, not well dressed for it. but i'm wearing the 1:25 anniversary metal. that was awarded on the 125th anniversary of canada for community service, and i came only because if anybody showed the world what community service meant, it was her. so that's why i had to come and say to the family. that.

i really am sad that they lost a mother, a grandmother, and a great grandmother. and i just hope that the next few days, they can get through this with some comfort and understanding that the rest of us are partly feeling their pain, but just want to reach out and say that we are here. >> that's a wonderful, personal memory john. and also that sense that many have here that the queen was this symbol of stability for so long that is now gone not only that loss of a revered and respected head of state, but also the loss of the threat of that continuity of many peoples lives as well. >> well let's discuss this relationship between canada and the monarchy a little bit further. i'm joined now by richard bertha's in, who was private secretary to the queens red presented and canada. a very good morning to you, thanks so much for talking to us today. so as we say, cfl made to

proclaim chiles escaping, happening here today. how important is of some air money like that to canadians? >> of course canada is an equal partner in the monarchy with the united kingdom and we follow who becomes the same sovereign but we operate on a completely and dependent basis. so there will be a proclamations ceremony, just like in london in a couple of hours who proclaimed charles the third as king of calendar. i don't think the ceremony is gonna have the grandeur and into kitty, or death of the what we are going to see into the accession of the ceremony in st. james palace. but it is still in a legal stab to basically acknowledge what is now fact. that charles is the king, so it will be done with a degree of sheer dignity, and, ceremony as it has in the past but it is very important for us as a sovereign independent country that we take the steps on our own to indicate that the monarchy belongs also to us in canada as it does for you in the united kingdom.

>> and just while you were talking we were looking at pictures of the queen visiting canada in 1964. these pictures in 2010. and i think she visited canada more than 20 times, she clearly did have a big affection for plays. >> absolutely, the queen was there 22 times and this was the last visitors in 2010. and you see the canada be rest in red and white just how it works. just the guard of regiments that we have in the place in the united kingdom but in fact there is canadian guards who are based in montreal and ottawa so we have this parallel of institutions like another word that exists at the same time. the queen's been queen of this country for more than, and i would say, half of the country's existence. just ponder that for a moment. so she's a figure of incredible continuity and, also stability going back to a time when most canadians when more canadians

have no sense anymore. she was on her mic before she was queen. and she was a princess. so she is a very prominent figure here. and obviously, canadians don't have the day-to-day relationship that they have and in this instance she hasn't been there since 2010 but in most of the rain she was in this country every 2 to 3 years but she was there on very significant occasions for canadians that are very memorable in terms of independents as a country and our sense of identity. >> so how than are people reacting mary to her death? >> i think there's a slow realization of what is been lost and the queen just like so many figures of the same age taken for granted and people didn't think that there was an end to it and i think the stories are coming out. i think the commitment. and also a depth of her involvement in canada. her knowledge of it, and has

traveled to all the corners of the extraordinary large country. and it's quite extraordinary. and it's trying to come out, and people are realizing what's been lost. and there's a growing sense of sadness. here sadly what were taken from the big ceremonies that we've been seeing in the united kingdom in the next. week there'll be an enormous interest here. and all of what happens. and of course, i think there will be. as many canadians who can afford. it will probably make the trip to the united kingdom to see it firsthand. >> and she clearly made a big impression on canada's prime minister. didn't she. justin trudeau did a pretty emotional tribute to the queen. didn't. they're saying that she was one of his favorite people? >> absolutely. i've seen that he knew that the queen was also one of the fathers favorite people and a bit of a spectacle relationship. king couldn't really appreciate the law, and intellect. and her sense of experience. and the continuity.

they became very close allies and she was very solid as well. so i think that also plays in the case of justin trudeau. and for canadians that have a good deal of accuracy front of the monarchy. particularly those in quebec, and french canada. and we have a huge issue with reconciliation of our treatment, and for the crown, it's a complicated in that as well as places in the commonwealth in these are going to be very big issues as they use for it in the post queen era. >> well fascinating. your take any reaction to the queen from the canadian perspective. richard, we appreciate your time. thank you so much. >> thank you. >> well, addressing the nation still in shock and mourning. king charles played a poignant moving tribute to the late queen. referring to her as his darling mama. so let's listen now to his majesty's first national address in fall. >> i think to you today, with

feelings of profound sorrow. throughout her life, her majesty the queen, my beloved mother was an inspiration, an example to me and to all my family and we owe her the most heartfelt that. any family can own term other. for her love, affection. guidance. understanding. and example. queen elizabeth was a life well lived and a promise with destiny and she is more and most deeply in or passing. that promise, get of lifelong service. i renew to all today alongside the personal grief that my family are feeling. we also share so many with you in the united kingdom. in all the countries where the queen was head of state.

in the commonwealth, and across the world. a deep sense of gratitude. for that more than 70 years in which my mother as queen serve the people of so many nations. in 1947, on her 21st birthday, she pledged in a broadcast from cape town to the commonwealth. to devote her life, whether it be short or law, to the service of our people. , that was more than a promise. it was a profound personal commitment that defined her whole life. she made sacrifices for duty. her dedication, and devotion. the sovereign never wavered. through times of change, and progress. through times of joy, and

celebration. and, through times of sadness and loss. in her life of service. we saw that abiding love of tradition together with that fearless embrace of progress. which makes as great as nations, the affection, admiration, and respect that she inspired, became the hallmark of her reign. and, with every member of my family can testify. she'd combined these qualities with warmth, humor, and an unerring ability, always, to see the best in people. i pay tribute to my mother's memory, and i honor. her life of service. i know that her death brings

great sadness to so many of you. and i share that sense of loss, beyond measure. when you all. when the cream came through the throne, britain and the world's worst still grappling with the provisions and aftermath of the second world war, and still living by the conventions of earlier times. in the course of the last 70 years, we have seen in our society become one of many cultures, and many faiths. the institutions of the state have changed in turn. but through all of the changes and challenges, our nation and the wider family of realms. of whose talents, traditions, and achievements. i am so in expressively proud. have crossbred and flourished. that our values have remained.

and much still remain constant. the role, and the duty of the monarchy must also remain, as does the sovereigns particular relationship and responsibility toward the church of england. the church in which my own faith is so deeply rooted. in that faith, and the values that it inspires, i have been brought of to cherish a sense of duty to others. and to hold in the greatest respect, the greatest traditions, freedoms, and responsibilities of our unique history, and our system of parliamentary government. this as the queen ourself did with such as wavering devotion, i now solemnly pledged myself throughout the remaining time

that god grant me, to uphold the principles at the heart of our nation. and wherever you may live in the united kingdom, or in the realms and territories across the world, and whatever maybe your background or beliefs. i shall endeavor to serve you with loyalty, respect, and love. as i have throughout my life. my life will of course change. as i take up my new responsibilities. that it will no longer be possible for me to give so much of my time and energies to the charities of issues of which i care so deeply, but i know this important work will go on in the trusted hands of others. this is also a time of change from my family.

i cannot dwell on the loving rise of what my wife camilla. in recognition of her own loyal public image of our marriage some years ago. she becomes my queen consort. i know, she will bring to the demands of her new role, with steadfast devotion to duty, on which i have become to rely so much. as my air william now assumes the scottish titles. which meant so much to me and he succeeds me as duke of cornwall. takes on responsibilities for the dutch of coral, which i've taken on for so many decades. today. i am proud to create him. prince of wales. too [inaudible] . >> the country's title even so

greatly privilege to bear. during so much of my life. of duty. with catherine beside him, our new prince and princess of whales. who, well, i now continue to inspire and lead our national conversations helping to bring and [inaudible] . i want to also express my love for harry and meghan, as they continue to bring and build their lives from overseas. in a little over a weeks time, we will come together as a nation, as the 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. that on behalf of all of my family. i can only offer the most sincere, and heartfelt thanks. for your condolences and support. they made more to may than i could ever possibly express. and to my darling mama, 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 that you observed so digital engine plea all this years. may flights of angels, the senior to arrest.

>> >>,. ,, -- >> thanks so much for >> joining us this early hour, i appreciate. it. you are in charge of our protection. and the queen's identity. tell us how. closely it anne you are able to work with the queen and what she was? like >> it is very early. but it's lovely to talk to you. i took command in 1995. and i amalgamated three

nations. the uniform side, the clean clothes that you see accompanying the majesty at home and abroad. and some of those people who do the escorts on motorbikes. in truth, i had nearly 500 people. and we had the queens police officer. they were the daily contact. they, they call the queens police officer. but they were more very lucky that they were fortunate that the team was extremely experienced. so they took away the day-to-day contact. obviously, on some occasions. i did meet with her majesty. and they would occasionally travel to be sure, what i thought it was happening from a strategic point of view. what was happening, is that it was a fascinating goal for a guy who had spent most of his time operating against criminals, and preventing terrorism in london. so to have that role was amazing and of course a huge

privilege to meet her majesty. and, all the members of the royal family. in my nearly four years as the issue commander. >> so, yeah, a big challenge. but also a big team as well. give us an idea of what the biggest challenge, or challengers were in keeping her safe. >> well, they come across. you wouldn't believe, historically how many. joan attacks there have been since george the third. and they didn't ease off, back in the 80s and 90s. d they didn't ease off, back in the 80s and 90s >> also from those who are fixated. those, like fagan, who imagine nudge to evade all the security. who's to say that was not -- yes,, people for a variety of reasons come to buckingham palace, they get -- and as we've seen over the years, a huge variety of people choose to come to buckingham

palace -- either to get publicity or to try and get in and cause harm. it was almost a weekly basis. of course, the public don't get to hear about this very often. it's why i look so young. >> meanwhile, king charles is taking over duties from his late mother. yesterday, we saw him arriving here at buckingham palace with crowds of wellwishers, here to greet him. he spent some time engaging with them. people here for all the right reasons, wanting to pass on condolences to him. is that situation kind of difficult for security? >> it is. her majesty of self was subjected by a 17 year old boy -- where, luckily, he only had banks. he's one of those -- he went to buckingham palace. -- he got delayed in the post.

if it had been real -- -- wouldn't have survived. fortunately, he wasn't able to -- that's just one example. i could go on and on for hours -- on the history of attacks on the -- back to georgia the third. it is a huge role but i noticed -- -- so you see, his son is a seriously. we do it at the british cell which is low-key but trust me, behind the scenes, and looking at it, there is now a huge range of abilities to monitor that crowd. again, modern security demands that you do that. you are so watchers, that's one of the key aspects. that's why police men and women should be looking at the crowd

and not looking at the royals. it's a fascinating job. he learned but the most important thing is you are and the lessons of history. >> now, our nation officially morning in a superior to that culminates -- how much of the security challenge will this week be? >>. i think it'll be the biggest one, certainly in my lifetime. historically, churchill and the queens father -- this is going to be even bigger -- for protection that. went out and passed -- away again that was huge. i totally underestimated the numbers that would turn up. i think will be huge numbers. that poses an issue in terms of security and a risk. the metropolitan police -- but they will be supported

throughout this period by the military, -- palace of westminster. the range of services -- is mind-blowing -- for organizing these things. i'm sure it'll be done as professionally and safe as humanly possible. you should always be aware of the potential for terrorist attack and also from those who want to be fixated. if you go to holland, for instance their royal family were in a bus or an individual through -- a number of civilians were actually killed you. never forget that kind of incident and you should never start her laurels. >> very interesting to talk to this morning. thanks indeed. >> my pleasure. >> one princess elizabeth, 25 years old, was proclaimed clean

in 1952, royalty was widely revered. and 70 years since, the world has changed at a faster pace than any time in human history. with it, attitudes towards the monarchy. -- reports. >> it's been the first time and i can't describe it, really. -- fantasy, really. the way the gold coach won by. >> a moment of pop in ceremony for another time, when this signal the start of another elizabeth and. ever seven decades later, very remembers that day. he watched position passed by as a ten-year-old schoolboy. >> there was so much noise. just waiting for her to come by. when she came by, big cheers, wars, people waving flags. it was just wonderful. >> just something -- admonishing television and seeing her father in the past.

that's a sad day when he died. i remember very well. >> the queen was patron of -- and here at this planet sat london -- a loss was personal for many of the members. >> i think some countries have got a government and they've got a president, but they haven't got what we've got. they haven't got someone that everybody admires, more or less. other countries in my or her to. >> at the nearby school, student several decades over them -- as a constant. >> the queen visited four times. pictures of her here over the years capture her longevity and the austrian spired. >> we're thankful for her leadership. >> as i've been a cadet for many years, i'd be honoring her, i'd be serving her and it just goes with that she's gone. -- also as a woman. >> it's so soon so my thoughts

are still with grieving the passing of the queen, but there is a level of excitement to a new monarchy, new era. >> as britain moves into a new moment in history, one thing will unite the young and the old. >> a sense of hope for the future. dickey merrick, sky news,. south london. y news,. south london >> katie spencer, it's gonna be an extraordinarily busy day for the new monarch. >> it'll be witnessing an incredible moment in history, televised for the first time the succession council -- it really will mark the start of the formal steps that he has -- in a moment that would just be completely iconic, seeing this moment televise, particular the end of the ceremony one official will come out --

and they will declare that there is new king. we've never seen anything like that, certainly never seen anything like that filmed. for him, his whole life has been building up to this moment, ahead of the coronation itself. this is the moment where it all becomes real, isn't it? -- it was quite a balance, wasn't it? paying tribute to his mother but kind of saying i'm going to serve you myself in the same spirit. >> i think over the years the, royal family have gotten a bit of stick for coming across is fairly aloof. yesterday, we saw a human side. this was a man who is talking about grieving. he mentioned to us and -- i we certainly begin to feel how he will be asking.

>> casey, thanks very much. that's certainly good light here -- to come and visit and a busy day of official duties ahead for king charles. all the details coming up next. tails coming up next hello, good morning from buckingham palace. , home now to the new king charles who will be officially proclaimed monarch later this morning. charles the third will make his declaration and oath as the accession counsel's televised for the first time in history. >> i shall endeavor to solar view with loyalty, respect and love as i have throughout my life.
