what a privilege it was to be the prime minister and meeting the queen on behalf of new zealand. i remember the queen is located in encyclopedia. she had met so many leaders. she'd been to so many places. she'd been briefed on so many issues. you could touch almost any button, and she would know about it. she was an amazing conversationalist. it wasn't just -- she was really into the issues. if you didn't know a leader -- it was an amazing experience to have the privilege of being able to meet her. >> a lot of people talk about her putting people at ease. she had a real gift for making people feel comfortable, even though it was quite a scary experience meeting her. did you find that and did you get glimpses of her humor, which she is so famous for?

>> the humor and also the personality, which was a caring personality. i think as she came to know people better and i was a long serving prime minister, nine years, -- nine or ten conversations, in-depth exchanges during that time. overtime, things really got warmer and warmer. i remember the last occasion, when peter, my husband in, i met her, it was at lunch at windsor castle. quite an intimate dining room. and it was just like, you know, being around the dining room table with your mother. she was roughly the age of my mother, so, no, i think back on what was an extraordinary life she had and how privileged i

was to be able to share just a little bit of that. >> we're looking at pictures of one of her visits. this one from 1954 to new zealand. the current prime minister has said in her tribute that she learned so much from observing her. the role of a monarch and prime minister a very different, but does she strike you as a role model in any way? pam >> the queen never would've described herself as a feminist, as far as i know, before my entire life, and she came to the throne on those two years old, there has been a woman head of state. the queen of new zealand, the queen of united kingdom, the head of the commonwealth. that has to be a very powerful role model for women like myself, thinking, that's amazing, women can do the jobs. they're still not enough women heads of state and heads of governments around the world, but we have these role models

and she was an early one who show that a woman could for distinction and dignity and give exemplary service. >> new zealand one -- where the queen was monarch. how important would you say she was to life in new zealand, despite the country being on the other side of the world to where the queen lived? >> 12,000 miles away. the queen came ten times new zealand, between 1953 in 2002. that's over a half century, a period -- the first tour was a long one. i think that cemented a reputation here. she was here in the christmas new year period and stayed for a month. she was here when there was a major disaster. a volcanic --

went down the mountain of central north arland. it took out a railway bridge in a few minutes later, the major of the night equestrian went into the river because the bridge is gone. the queen's here and louis -- and i think that really got her that personal relationship with -- how she kept coming back, -- indigenous people embrace you because they saw her as she was -- whose queen on the treaty of -- was signed. there were a lot of links and i think she enjoyed coming to new zealand. she felt the part of. it >> have you met king charles at all? what kind of monarch do you think you will be? at>> i have enormous admiration for king charles iii. it'll take us --

and not the principles? -- in the united kingdom. one occasion, when i went to a commemoration as principles, he was there at the new zealand morial and made a speech. that was very touching to. i think what new zealand -- has taken up issues that he cares about, particularly sustainability -- balance of nature. this all resonates very well in new zealand. i have no doubt that when he makes his -- he'll be will received and his messages will be positive for us. >> helen clark, we appreciate you sharing your reminisces with us this morning. thanks very much indeed for joining us from new zealand. >> thank you.

heartland, they're primed to call themself british. >> she would make go monitor chief, she was my bluest for gateway two years. >> on the opposite side of the, while there is no great outpouring of grief. on the republican road. >> she is the queen, where irish. sorry for her loss,. >> [inaudible] she was a mother, she was a grandmother, but just not, so sad on the family. >> northern ireland has a nationalist first prime minister, she said that this wasn't the time for anti malarkey sentiment. >> this is a time when you want to be disrespectful. queen elizabeth has died, there is a family that was mourning her loss and at the end of the day, she may have been the queen of england but she was also a mother and grandmother and i think people should be very respectful. this is a time for reflection and a time to be respectful of all people in how they feel right now.

>> there is tight security at the northern residents in northern iowa. and it didn't stop people coming to reflect that the castle. >> she was certainly [inaudible] [inaudible] [inaudible] >> northern ireland is the corner of the united kingdom, where you'll find the most loyal subjects of the crown. 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 also take home the kings scottish titles. which he said meant so much to me. it's been so much that the

queen was happiest there at balmoral castle, where she spent her summers. and where she spent her final days. skies brett mayer has been speaking to people there. >> in the village where they call the queen a neighbor, there 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. [inaudible] [inaudible] >> the straits of ballots are always busy at this time of the, are drawn by the royals and residents. down the road in braemar, a new march in her honor. the one she never saw. she had been coming to the highland games here since her childhood, watching from the patrons pavilion. again the president, again keeper by trade, along with everyone else here. with his own memories. >> i think one day i was shooting up and in a state. and she ran up on to the high tops and she went back down and she was just stuck with the sight. she had never seen it from that direction before, and it completely mesmerized her. she said what a beautiful country to be. and [inaudible]

. >> greg milan, sky news, braemar. >> we're gonna take you live now to balmoral, our correspondent james matthews there for us. and james, what is expected to happen there over the next few days? >> it's quiet here right now, and as the activity of the change and marquee shift south for now but, the focus welcome back to balmoral. particularly in terms of the movement of the queen's body. which we should learn more details today about the timing's. and it's early, what will happen. when it will happen. as the queen's body is moved. in the instance, towards edinburgh, and then after towards london. also members of the royal family here at balmoral. already, people have arrived this morning. very early on saturday to lay tribute and flour at the gates. inside prince edward, princess and, princesses usually and

beatrice. i wonder if we might see them? today there is the opportunity for some kind of walk about at the gates, perhaps to see some of the tributes left for their grandmother. and, perhaps an opportunity to engage with members of the public. who have been turning up here in some numbers. over the course of the past 48 hours. some from far, tourists among them some. many of the locals of course. who we have in greg marlins report, knew the queen. she would go into shops. by but yours made for the barbecues. and so on. she was a member of the community. and committee members. have been turning up here to pay their respects. silently, quietly. i don't get any great sense of shock really. but certainly respectful remembrance, and solemnity. it is striking perhaps, given the numbers to turn up here. perhaps her and a couple of

hundred at the time. they don't make the noise in a crowd that size would normally make. but it's quite a conversation. and reflection, i think. which we have seen here. and, have seen duplicated a round the country. so i wonder if we'll see that again today, and i wonder what kind of public interaction we may see between members of the public and members of the royal family who remain here for now. >> interesting to watch games. we will be back to you of course throughout the day. for the moment, thanks very much indeed. so that's a scene there at balmoral, let's just show you the picture here at buckingham palace. where we are. and a number of people asked john the lights to come up over the palace, started to gather outside the gates now, i could see quite a few people there, some of them bringing floral tributes. although the palace has tried to discourage people from bringing the flowers. they won't stay at the gates of the palace for very long, for

those arriving this morning. there was a van and people gathering up our impulses of flowers to take them to a memorial flower garden that they are creating in the next little park in green park. but it's expecting a number of people to turn up once again today. after the crowds that we saw yesterday. and in england, two committees have come together in grief for the queen. and to consider the future under king charles. our chief correspondent stewart ramsey has this from heavy on terms. >> a -- stream of people signing the book in the street of thames. the people -- who live in this quintessential englishtown, 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. >> it is a sleepy place pressure, but there was something different. a certain sense of loss. people not quite sure what to do with themselves. >> we had that she was resting, 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 naughty sense of humor. >> the queen has passed and 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. >> the ceremony to proclaim

britain's new king is new to take place in the canadian capital, of ottawa today. skies mark kellner has been speaking to residents there. remembering her majesty the queen. canada is one of 16 sovereign state of which the queen was monarch at the time of her death. you can see, behind me, there are people who have come to rideau hall in ottawa to sign the book of condolences. this is the opportunity to require the memories of the queen, and why she meant so much to them. and for many, the memories are personal. of seeing, or meeting the queen. on one or more of her 22 visits to canada. this is one of the countries that she visited the most, outside of the united kingdom. so, a lot of fun is for her here. and i just going to bring in john, who is from canada. can you explain what the me clean means to this country? >> well it was an important kind of a rock to us.

for many people, they just felt comfort with her. for me, i had to come because i was awarded, and i'm not very well dressed for, it but i'm wearing 1:25 anniversary metal that was rewarded 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 in say to the family, that, i am really sad that they lost a mother, a grandmother, and a great grandmother. and i just hope that the next few mothers days they can get through here and we just want to reach out and say they're here. >> so with one 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. so it's not only that loss of the revered, and respected head

of state. but also the loss of that thread of continuity through many peoples lives as well. through many plet's bring in katie spenr once again, and it's getting light now katie, not so long now until the big events of the day, this formal moment where king charles is proclaimed the monarch. >> this is the moment of constitutional formality, so yesterday if anything we got to see a side of king charles, the humanity really and how he's feeling, how he wants to be seen by the public and how he is interacting with people, today this is where we go forth and dot the eyes and cross the t's. this is actually his duty and what other marion acts of done before, when they officially declared the king that is meeting at the privy council, this privy council has existed since northern times, a very ancient legislative body. this is what former monex have done before him, and i think

the standup moment will be that public proclamation that comes afterwards, and an official will come out onto the balcony, and we'll declare that there is a new carrying but this is meticulously planned, coordinated steps that need to be taken, flags have been a big thing as well, flying at half mast for an hour after the king has been proclaims, the flags will rise again to mark the fact that there is the new king but than an hour after that they will go down again. and mark the fact that the nation is still in mourning, so this all steps have been perfectly worked out and it will be a real momentum a hole today i think. >> yes it has been happening for hundreds of years, and in fact in northern times, but the fact that it happened here, in 1952 with the queen, it's such a long time ago saw a real moment of history for people to be able to watch from television. >> it's televised, we've never

seen anything like this televise before. it's gonna be an incredible sight. >> and crowds expected once again here in buckingham palace no doubt. >> yeah, where you can see behind us again. they've been gathering consistently. news of the death. people wanting to leave flowers. and starting again today. the flowers overnight move to green park has been the palaces wish. but again building, for the idea that it's already coming. out >> they are indeed. increasing all the time. thanks very much, indeed. when prince elizabeth, as 25 years old, was proclaimed queen in 1952, welty was widely revered. in the 70 years since, the world's changes a faster pace that anytime in human history and with, it the monarchy. history -- on the challenge of maintaining its relevance.

>> it's been the first time now challenge and i can't describe it. it's a fantasy, really. for when the cold coach won by. >> a moment of pop and ceremony from another time. one that signal the start of the second elizabeth an era. seven decades later, barry remember that day. he watched the procession passed by as a ten year old school boy. >> there's so much noise going on just waiting for her to go by. when she came, by big cheers and roars, people waving flags. it was just wonderful. something special. a new monarch. i've been watching television and seeing her father in the past. it was a sad day when he died. i remember very well as well. >> the queen was patron of england's national -- association. and here this club in south london, -- also is personal for many of the members who were in their

80s. >> i think some countries have got the government and the president but they haven't got what we've got. they haven't got someone that everybody admires, more or less. other countries admire. >> at this near a school, students several decades longer are mourning somebody they all was known as a constant. the queen visited four times. pictures of her here over the years captured her longevity and the oisin spired. >> we're thankful for her leadership >> as i've been a cadet for many years, i've been honoring her, serving her and it just feels weird that she's gone. i like to look up to her as part of the military, as patron of a school, and as a woman. >> it's so soon, so my thoughts are definitely still with grieving the passing of the queen but -- as brayden moves into a new moment in this history, one thing will unite the young and

the old a, sense of hope for the future, -- sky news, south. london sky >> time to take a look at te morning papers. i'm joined by the former -- biographer -- at the former editor of the daily star. very good morning to both you. inevitably, huge number of -- all the papers dominated by pictures of prince charles, more tribute to the queen. let's go through some of the, rachel? we will pick at the times and they've got a wraparound, haven't they, for their addition in the morning. on the outside, those are the main headlines. -- on the outside -- a wraparound with the photograph of prince charles -- i'm curious your take on the decision --

this only moments in a day, how does a photographer editor pick out? >> there's so many stories. for instance -- the picture that they've gone for is a very powerful image of prince charles -- two days ago. and he came back to london and he's reminiscent of -- and met the crown. yesterday, it was very positive and very emotionally charged. supposing only three about -- that would be a devastating indictment about charles. that is obviously a wall of support and i think he was incredibly moved yesterday, wasn't? >> he did seem very moved, and

he. the picture tells a story and i guess the main headline and away from the wraparound of the times -- i pledge myself to you, he's giving the messages. he? -- the people -- from day one. we thought she was our queen, she thought she thought i was a servant. from day one, she pledged herself to her duty, to her service, her people. charles's speech, which was incredibly dignified, i think he grew into his role there. -- they grow six inches. i almost got that impression. he became more statesman like. -- i was very echoing, you could almost hear his mother saying those words. it was incredibly moving.

the one difference going back to the -- he's more emotional than his mother. i'm sure the queen cried many tears behind closed doors, but charles is a very emotional man. that was taken at the gates just behind looking at the floral tributes. -- poignant picture of him in camilla who was with him at the time -- but it's incredibly -- i think the picture sums up -- incredibly moving image and they have to show the emotion because -- 25 years ago is that they stayed and contains emotion -- there and show on and they've learned a lot from it and the death of --

got out there, talking to people, showing their motion and yesterday was very powerful -- -- there will be a lot of people who feel this deeply, who worry that this one constant has now gone -- what extent do you think he has to inject a fresh voice as well? >> i think he has to try and tread a very fine line. as we know, charles, when he was prince charles, was very political, very vocal on many issues. i think it was very carefully worded, the speech, -- he had to step away from some of his previous roles, charities and the campaigns he's been involved in. i think that sent a coded message to people, and that,

i'm stepping away away from being a political child. and to became-ing the king charles and following in the footsteps of his mother. the queen, famously, kept above it all, didn't? she she never got involved into the politics. i think charles, the speech yesterday was signifying that he's doing that, but he's very much going to continue the legacy, which for everybody watching, everybody gathered, this is important. she's always. none >> -- just going back to the picture on the back, that's the symbol of monarchy. but -- the queen has to -- listen now to the palace, she must go. it's the symbol of monarchy and it's like arriving at your new job, you know. a bit like prince george arriving at school. that was a very powerful image.

it's hours now. >> -- there's like a different era. >> let's move on to the daily mail. they have tearful charges tributes to his darling mom. -- the speech was very personal as well. pledging his duty, and mentioning a family, not just his feelings about his mother passing away. >> i think what we tend to forget is that we have lost the queen, she's been a constant in normal our lives but she's also a mother. she also a grandmother and a grand man -- if you take away the royalty in the monarchy from this, this is a family grieving. i know him in the queen had issues but they grew incredibly close, in part thanks to camilla. they were very close at the end -- this is a man grieving for his

mother, not just the prince grieving for his queen. this is a man who just lost his mom and to do what he's doing, sit there -- you take the human side of it and it's incredibly brave. >> that's right it was very moving. >> you could see the speech right at the very end he was clearly about to lose it -- >> he lost his mother the day before so we had to sit down and it was a very important speech. to show that he's going to carry on. >> what about what he said about the family? he chose to give william and kate the titles of prince and princess wills. -- saying how much she loved harry and meghan --

>> i think those incredibly important to talk about william catherine without mentioning harry and meghan would've seemed very hot and would've cause even more talk about the bad blood in the family which we will -- and i agree i think it was -- not what we've been through as a country. we doubled down with the sadness of two brothers having this rift between them. now i think one thing -- is that the family reunites. another bad blood in families often and it's impossible to heal but i would love to see those brothers reunite and i think that's what charles is trying to do. >> i think he would -- his new rule and his life

abroad and his old one -- >> they would be sharing their grief and he would be taking it with williams to meet the crowds and so on. he's kind of lost their role and he's got between two worlds. -- must be concerned about that. >> you want to include both your sons. >> let's just move on to -- reflecting on looking show said yesterday. to my darling mom, as you begin -- i want simply to say this, thank. you again, that last line goes on to -- swing the to their. rest. it's so beautiful to look it up, is for hamlet. -- again, very moving tribute.

i think all of us keep saying prince charles -- >> got a king. -- >> >> if you say to -- you would automatically think of diana and now, we've got a new princess oils. that phase of diana's closing and we've got this future. >> evidently, that phrase -- madden's funeral. i do wonder if i'm choosing that particular phrase was maybe a subtle mention to his late wife. i hope that's the case --

-- -- and she seems to deteriorate quickly after prince philip's death. it is night to something's parents are reunited after 73 years of marriage. >> thank you for going through the papers. we'll see you again another hour's time -- for the moment, thanks very much. >> stay with us here. we've got live coverage throughout the morning as we build up that big moment, which happens at 10:00 this morning televise for the first time in history. it's the moment when king charles will be formally proclaimed the monarch. clouds beginning to rise here at buckingham palace as it gets
