for the members of the royal family who are still here at balmoral, we saw some of them yesterday of course but also for the community and the people who work on the estate the people who work in the surrounding areas, a significant moment, the queen's coffin has been at rest inside balmoral for a number of days draped in the aretha flowers on top of it, it's been a chance for those workers on the estate, many of whom have been in service for the royal family for many years to pay their respects before the coffin begins its journey, the journey will begin at 10 am when six of the game keepers will lift that coffin and carried from the ballroom through a small dining room and then into the hurries for that journey, the symbolism there of the members of stab the people who the queen knew and worked with for so long being part of that procession is really key for those arrange what is happening here, that journey will begin they describe the scene inside

central square here, that's her majesty and that was put up overnight and you can see a knitted angel and flour at her feet with the message thank you your majesty, made with love by native post box. that's a nice touch by the villagers here this morning, let's speak to a prominent villager here, the reverent. david, hello, talk to me about this occasion, what this means here to people. >> her majesty has been coming here all her life as a child and if you can imagine when she was in the big cities and she had to be maybe stand prim and proper with her sisters and not be able to play, but when she got to balmoral she would be able to do cartwheels with her

sister, she would be able to be a child, i think that stuck with her and that's why balmoral became special. when she became queen she held on to that and you that and so i think when she came on to the gates, she hung our crown up on the door and then she was a loving wife, a mom, a grandmother, and then a great grandmother, and aunt, being able to do normal things. and because she has served her country all her life, the majority of people have loved her all her life, this village wants -- historically have only been here eight years but it wants to give something back. we're starting to have a bit of normality. anan the majesty would come in

shop here, the royal family still do today and this is a time to say that with proud, and honor. five weeks time you would to come up here today and say did you see a royal? i would say no. even if i saw 12 months ago. i wouldn't. i definitely would life you my teeth. so that that part of here -- >> privacy is guarded? >> privacy is guarded and cherished. because she is our neighbor, this is her village, and i have to put it into perspective, manchester united [inaudible]

never happened, never will but we take that as a normality so to try to give back that because they are so precious to us, yes. >> tell me about the sense of loss. >> a great loss, when it was announced i came down to bring the church bells, 70 bells, one for each year. i'm a six foot three guy ex navy, naval commander, i went up that church, and i cried. everybody here. you see them all crying, and i think the tv, it's been on tv,

it's on royalty, it's the commonwealth queen. it's been subliminally in our lives as well, she's been on our money, postage stamps, we all had christmas dinners, why -- we would hear the queen's speech, she's been our rock, the stability to the world wars, cold war to covid. she was a constant. so subliminally she has been here, and then there will be a lot of people who have traveled up here, when her majesty scored itch comes through, a tangible thing and i think it will be a well of emotions.

yes. >> reverend, many thanks for your time today. today is the chance to pay well respects, they were able to pay their respects yesterday during a short service, they were joined by some members of the royal household, and intimate gathering i can tell you that during that service in the pews where the royal family set, there was a space left for where the queen normally sits and that front few right in the middle, a space left for her majesty and the tune that played them out at that short service was a haunting very beautiful june planed on the violent, the death of king george the sixth, the queen's father of course attuned loved by the queen. >> james matthew, thank you very much indeed.

>> just to let you know that from just after 10:00 this morning we will bring you those pictures of the queen's funeral cortege as it begins its final journey. we're here now at buckingham palace i'm joined by an international affairs editor dominic as well as the queens former royal protection officer dick griffin. dominic, people gathering once again at buckingham palace wanting to pay their respects. >> yes we've seen them there are thousands coming, there are fewer in number, so far this morning. possibly put off by the weather, quite overbearing security as well, it's hard to move around here, some people has said that it has taken time to get here. the people i spoke to got up early to try to beat the crowd and they've been determined to come here because they had said it is just not being good enough to stay at home and watching this on television, they wanted to come and connect with it, be part of this. which is a reminder of what people were saying 25 years ago

when princess diana died, i'm over people then saying that being at home just didn't cut it, they felt like they had to pay their respects and be part of what was going on here. i think we have been wondering if we would see similar scenes to what happened 25 years ago, obviously very different in character and tones and circumstances, but i think in terms of numbers we are seeing a lot of people coming out and wanting to pay their respects, wanting to be part of history, wanting to be involved. obviously we will see more of that and more emotion as the queens confident it's placed on the hearse in balmoral and begins her last journey. >> as greg was saying, it's poignant, how difficult do you think this will be for the royal family to see the coffin begin its journey? >> it's going to be an exceedingly sad day. balmoral castle meant so much

to her majesty the queen, there's no doubt the queen's favorite residents, she would go up there late july and stay there with the family, the family would come and go but she would always stay right there until the beginning of october and even she would always have the private weekend as well, she would go up there in may, early june spent for five days up there and when we used to bring her back from balmoral to come back to buckingham palace, there is one of the few times that you would see her -- and resume the work she had to do. although she carried on working in balmoral anyway. >> the family will have happy memories from her there, and as you say, a place that she would associate with being happy with having fun and i know you would've witness a fair few of those fun times. >> balmoral was very special because the queen would picnic in the evening, barbecue with prince philip which she loved

doing, but she also was a -- she made sure that the staff would be happy, the queen would come along for the staff parties. there would be two bottles of. you could end up dancing with the queen. everyone was included, it was just such a happy place to be. >> i have a story about a hat that you wore. >> one of my colleagues tells the stories, ian was on duty with the majesty the queen and he was taking her to church on sunday, about a mile's drive away, and when the queen came back to london i said how did you get on with the new protection office over the weekend? she said he is exceptionally nice, he can stay, but you must get him to relax, he is very nervous. i said we're all nervous when we first started working with you. she said but he is especially nervous. i was getting in the car to go to church and i was only

halfway in the car and he slammed the door on me and a bank to my shoulder, knocked me back against the door and as a door shut my big hat stuck in the top of the door, she said that she went to church with her head stuck, and i remember seeing the news of the queen going to church and she was in such a weird angle, rather than upset the new officer -- >> that's a really lovely story, what a lovely touch. well, good to see dickerson and dominic we will catch up with you later. >> the australian prime minister anthony albanese has told sky news that he will not hold a referendum on whether the country should become a republic in his first term, in an exclusive interview he said that this was a moment to show gratitude for the queen service to australia, the commonwealth

and the world, the queen's death has reunited a debate about australia's relationship with the monarchy, let's speak to our correspondent cordelia lynch, she is in the australian capital and she has carried out that interview. cordele it tells a bit more about what anthony albanese told you. alb anes >> well anthony albanese and his republican views have been known back in 2018, he thinks australia needs of an australian head of state, but he recognizes the gravity of this moment, the need for the nation to mourn and that deep affection and connection with the monarch, she was the first reigning monarch to step foot in australian soil, she visited the country 16 times, he spoke very fondly of her, her ability to support the nation in its time of need whether that was in floods, droughts or natural disasters, in the wake of her

death there has been a discussion once again about referendum on a republic in australia, there was already a referendum that has taken place back in 1996, but he has made it clear that he will not be holding one in his first term of office and he very much wants to dedicated this time in really respecting the honor of the service that the queen gave this country, and the deep affection everyone had for her here. i did ask him though about whether -- evolve. >> of course and it has evolved and it will continue to evolve it will need to continue to move with the times, but the bigger question about our

constitution are not ones for this current period, this is a period in which we are showing the grief that so many australians are feeling at the moment. showing our deep respect and admiration for the contribution of the queen to australia and today of course, the transition formally here to recognize that with the queen's passing king charles automatically became the head of state of australia. >> australians love the queen for many different reasons and for her ability to understand those that work the land here, they also respected her for her ability to stay out of politics and i asked anthony albanese if he believed that king charles

would also be able to do that and he said he would be deeply conscious of it, anthony albanese will be traveling to the uk for the queen's funeral and will also be meeting with king charles. >> cordelia, thank you very much indeed. >> let's bring you now these pictures that have coming overnight. today marks the formerly proclamation of the accession of charles's king of australia in a ceremonies capital the proclamation was marked by a 21 gun salute. meanwhile in new zealand there have been 2:21 gun salute to the militia proclamation of king charles the third. the sailors took place in wellington and in auckland, prime minister jacinda ardern spoke of the loss felt by the

death of queen elizabeth but also the welcoming of a new era. >> for 70 years queen elizabeth served the people of new zealand with unwavering duty, for the vast majority of new zealanders she is the only monarch we have known. and so upon her death we enter a time of change, one filled with sadness for her passing but also gratitude for the life she led and the example she set. king charles has long head and affection for our dear new zealand and has consistently demonstrated his deep care for our nation. this relationship is deeply valued by our people. >> let's take a quick look at the front pages of the sunday morning papers now and for united for granted reach the front of sunday mirror as the prince and princess of whales and the duke and duchess of sussex are pictured together for the first time in mourning.

peace for a grand reached the front of sunday people as they also lead with that same story does sunday times also leads with the royal walk about the royal warning windsors awkward choose to honor the queen the daily star on sunday looks at the two royal couples reunions as well with the four picture together in mourning, reunited in sorrow reached the front of the sunday telegraph. the sunday express goes with the headline together for granny, william hands olive branch to carry. and the same stories on the front of the sun on sunday as well, the headline all for one. front of the observer in contrast pictures are new king as he ascends the chief thrown. let's speak now to royal sculptor francis who has quoted

the queen and number of other members of the roe family, good to have you here, thank you for talking to us. you made us culture of the queen, how was that? talk us through the process? >> it was just such an amazing privilege obviously to be sculpting the queen, i had three sittings in the room the palace which was set aside for this, it was just on sparring, i went before hand did i was able to choose the tiara and the jewelry that the queen was going to wear and at the first sitting, she was so amazing because for me i was going up and measuring her all the time -- you >> had to measure her head? >> i had to measure her heads, was it quite scary? >> it was amazing, my hands were definitely shaking and i was supposed to go back and write these measurements down but i just couldn't so i thought for the first sitting i

was just going to listen to her and be with her which was amazing. >> is that because you want to have the sense of personality as well when you are creating a sculpture? movement of the face. >> when i'm sculpting, something comes through and i knew that it was important to just listen and she was so concerned about the people walking around here, because at the time it was a road and she was very concerned that people would be run over and she came across with such a wonderful personality. >> and she did chad to, you didn't she? >> all the time. >> you don't have to divulge anything that is private, but what kind of discussions were you having? >> she was telling me all about her journey, she was going to make up north, it was very imminent to the first sitting and then she was talking about visitors that would come to stay at the palace.

various things really which were very interesting and i only had an hour, so it was, you know -- >> did not put yet he's, was she good -- we've heard lots of people saying that they were quite intimidated meeting her but she was quick to put people at ease. >> she was such a dream, really. amazing, it makes me sad because after the third sitting i got very, very emotionally involved. i could tell you some unusual things about the third sittings if you'd like. >> please. >> on the third sitting i decided i had to find a way to see if she liked the bust before it went out, i said to her majesty you know, are you happy with the hair, this length? and she said well perhaps a little bit shorter, so i worked on it while she was there and she said yes, that is fine. and then i said to her, are you happy for this to go to the foundry now? and she said yes, but don't

fiddle with it. so i knew with her finger up like that that she liked it, which was such a good feeling, you know. >> and also that she wanted some control that you wouldn't change it. >> i was intrigued that you said that you got to choose the tiara. did you have a selection of possibles or did you have free range? >> you know, i remember meeting angela kelly and we had to go there before i made the sculpture, there was a big amount of things on display and i felt as though i was choosing the tiara so yes, i think it was. >> did that surprise you? obviously she could presumably dictate what she wore for you, does it surprise you that you were given that level of freedom? >> absolutely, it's surprising how she would get up and just go to the table and push on, it was so unusual.

the experience was absolutely out of this world, to me she seems ordinary in some ways, so much like everybody, but so special. she had such a magic about her, and her face and her skin and the way she walked, i thought terribly emotional at the end. >> did you get to see her after the peace was finished? >> yes she unveiled it at her house and i met her on numerous occasions, we went to a palace, jack my husband and i, and we have a picture there. >> it is really beautiful. >> how long did the whole process takes? >> i think because of -- in between we had big gaps, probably a year from start to finish. >> that is a pretty good result

for one year's work. it looks absolutely gorgeous. i think you've worked with other members of the royal family. >> yes i've sculpted prince charles, king charles, king charles, amazing -- >> world getting used to that. >> oh my god, yes. princess -- countess of sussex, sophie -- >> wessex. >> yes and the duck of canned and it's been a privilege, amazing, i'm working on the next work at the moment, a memorial for the queen, i need to keep the feeling going for me because it's such an amazing time in my life. >> thank you so much for joining us and sharing the details, it's really interesting and beautiful piece of work. frances segelman, think you. >> thank you. >> over the course of her reign

the queen became perhaps the most photographed person ever to be, her image has been used and everything from popstar to punk, she has been looking at the life of a cultural icon. >> she was the most portrayed woman in the world, her face in profile, ubiquitous. her image at the core of british culture. the queen's coronation was groundbreaking, the first ever to be televised, watched by 27 million. it was the premiere of sorts for the lifelong pivotal role she would play in maintaining the allure of brand britain. >> i remember when i was a little girl, a little teenager, when she was engaged to prince philip who was about the best looking man in the world, i mean everybody at school had a crush on him, and i kept scrapbooks of the queen, everything that wasn't papers or magazines i cut out and it was princess elizabeth's

wedding and she was a fairytale princess, she really was, she was gorgeous, she had a hands bandwidth, beautiful eyes. we all loved her. >> decades on record audiences once again, were there for her platinum jubilee. >> perhaps you put like a marmalade sandwich? i always keep one for emergencies. >> so do i. i keep mine in here. >> wow. >> celebrations which brought people back together following the challenges of the pandemic. during lockdown of course many binged on the crown, one of the countless screen portrayals fields by the public infatuation with this woman. >> could you imagine i'm gonna drop everything and come to london before i attend my grandchildren who have just lost their mother?

>> celebrated by our greatest artist from lucian freud to andy warhol, the portraits now a huge part of her legacy. >> i remember when i was first commissioned it was a daunting prospect, the queen, the most portrayed women in history. i asked if ma'am would like to rest between shots, and it would be fine. because of all the light. she closed her eyes and that was the moment, i didn't go in there to capture that moment but being so tuned to meditation at the time, and that moment of calmness there was a vibration to it. and we all resonated with it. >> sitting for artist was part of her cultural duty, but she also inspired some significant unofficial art. and antiestablishment target, epitomized on the cover of the 1970 76 pistol single, a deface lightness, and easy act of rebellion. >> if you were sitting at home, they would have the picture of the queen on the wall in jesus.

while rock photographer's parents admired the queen, for his generation she represented everything he was rallying against. in 1977, when the punk movement collided with the queens silver jubilee, it was following the pistols provocative bone trip on the temps. >> at that time the monarchy was very strong, we were not particularly liked for being anti monarchy, as i grew older and you more and more about it, i have a very deep respect for the queen. my respect for the queen is that basically, it takes a lot to hold something like that together in the way she has over the years, for me big respect for that in that sense. >> while many british artists have clashed with the establishment, the queen, a loyal supporter of creativity handed out thousands of honors for services to the entertainment sector. for 70 years she was champion of the arts for those who embraced her magisterial authority or rebelled against it. she inspired. her influence over british culture, irrefutable and unique.

>> thank you for everything. >> that's very kind. >> katie spencer, sky news. >> let's just show you the scene live in a balmoral which is where we will see the queen's coffin being moved and beginning of the funeral cortege from their, ultimately of course it will complete its journey at the state funeral, the date for which we have, as you can see a number of police officers are now arriving at the gates of balmoral ahead of the beginning of that funeral cortege's journey across scotland. we will have plenty of coverage of that journey which begins at 10:00 this morning. the australian prime minister anthony albanese has told sky news he will not hold a referendum on whether the

country should become a republic in his first term, he says this was a moment to show gratitude for the queens service to australia, the commonwealth and the world. here is that international interview with our correspondent cordelia lynch. >> the australians relationship with their queen appears to be enduring what do you think it was about her reign that achieve that special connection? >> i think the queen was with australians during times of celebration, but was also with australia at times of difficulties and queen elizabeth always reached out to give that comfort to australians at times of need. she was such a respected figure regardless of where people stand on the political spectrum, that 70 years of public service, devotion to duty, it's something that holds her in such high regards.

part of the respect is that people have seen her as a political, do you think her son will be able to achieve that as well? >> he is very conscious, to be above politics, he has always been that in terms of australia, but he is someone who has a deep relationship with australia, i hope that he is able to visit here on an occasion as soon as possible. but he has been a regular visitor here and it is a substantial change, the only monarch that we have known in my lifetime and in the lifetime of most australians has been queen elizabeth. so this is a change. >> it's reignited a debate about a republic, do you think

in this moment that that is appropriate or perhaps even opportunistic? >> well, i am of the personal view and i've made it clear that now is a time for us to pay tribute to the life of queen elizabeth the second, to give thanks for her service to australia, to the commonwealth and to the world and that is the focus that i have. >> when it comes to the monarchy do you think that australians want to see the institution evolve? >> well of course, and it has evolved and it will continue to evolve, it will need to continue to move with the times. but the bigger questions about our constitutions are not one for this current period. this is a period in which we are showing the grief that so

many australians are feeling at the moment. showing our deep respect and admiration for the contribution of the queen to australia and today of course the transition formally here to recognize that with the queen's passing, king charles automatically became the head of state of australia. >> do you think this pause might consolidate peoples belief in the power of the monarchy? >> that we will see, we will see what occurs. the important thing is to commemorate the moments that we are in now. it is a moment of reflection about an extraordinary life. >> she certainly had a powerful connection and we've witnessed that firsthand here in australia. just to confirm, no referendum in your first term? >> no. your first term >> no. >> anthony albanese they're

speaking to cordelia lynch. queen elizabeth became monarch five years after india's independence, she made three state visits to the country during her reign. let's find out how her death has been received their. or neville lazarus is in delhi for us this morning, what has the reaction been there? the reaction been ther>> well it has been q, the government has called for a day of mourning today, the national flag is to fly half mast, no government officials will take place now, the queen has visited in just three times, 1961, 1983 and 1997, with her lifelong partner prince philip. it has been probably on the same route that she has taken to go to the building behind me, which is the precedence house where she would have been given a ceremonial welcome.

all of these three visits that she has made, she has known all the leaders in linda starting from mahatma gandhi to the present prime minister modi, she has also been talking about how the diversity and the broad diversity in the country is an inspiration to all. now, india has changed over the last 75 years since its independence from britain in 1947. it is now a new confident india where the young population is disconnected with the bygone eras of kings and queens and it is left to the new monarch and the young family of prince william to make that connection and injure the relations with the largest commonwealth country in the world, with a population of 1.3 billion people. 3 billio

>> neville lazarus in delhi, thank you very much indeed. let's take a look at sunday papers now, i'm joined by the royal historian doctor tessa dunlop and political editor at sunday mirror nigel nelson, tessa, i know you spotted a story about australia we were talking about australia a moment ago with the prime minister this is the sunday telegraph isn't it. >> a global reshuffling showing the royal family and also britain's place in the world and what it means. anthony albanese saying now it's not the time to discuss a future head of state, of course they are the other 14 realms that have sovereign as their titular head. interesting lethal the headline in the telegraph is a king screen activism winds favor among young australians, this is because obviously they are impacted by climate change is,

there has been a bit of who -- dealing with the subject and of course charles famously being this long term green activists back in the day, we all thought he was an eccentric, by all accounts the younger generation, gen z is it? those under 24 they are more prone, the british monarchy particularly charles because of his green credential then those of my generation, up to the age of 49 who remember the fallout of diana, they are where passionate you remember about diana, and they feel a bit less generous towards charles. but when we're talking about this pulling i'm afraid none of it is tilting in the right direction for charles in the long term. 46% of those gen z's, pro retaining charles, just 36% in favor between the ages of 30 and 49. >> that's in australia? interesting. let's move inside the mainland on sunday. this focuses on prince william, sprints avoyelles. >> indeed. the important thing to remember

is behind us -- this is an intensely public event, but also, there was an awful lot of -- this is what prince william showed. i thought that his statement got it absolutely right. a public statement about his private feelings -- also who sat is times. so, he's obviously talking about the death of his mother. i think it was right for him to say that and say to the public that, hey folks, i've lost my beloved granny please understand what he's saying as well as actually doings follow duties to try and what everybody else is feeling -- >> as well as his. duties inside the sunday express, tessa, a story about kamala. >> that other big player. interesting lee, -- who is under new rule referring

to the way in which she was slowly ingratiated, or upgraded within that royal pecking order, being in truth to the -- and then of course the -- she would like her to be queen consort, which he knows. i think it's interesting. there's clearly a difference between british fuel towards her -- -- domestic abuse and sexual violence. we see how much more -- overseas, of course a big memory, that big -- 2.5 billion watching diana's funeral. this bitter aftertaste of the -- she's slightly harder act to sell in the overseas territories in the commonwealth. >> interesting. inside the sunday express, a focus on bishops, is that right? >> it's a funny story because

they've been doing tributes. it's the archbishop of york who tells a story about -- car working down. he went up to it and put a cross right over the car. it was a bit of a joke really, but the car started. [laughs] later, when you met the queen, when he thought he might have gone too far, she comes up to him and says, oh, you've healed my car. [laughs] >> i love that. nigel, do you think you could take us to a story from a former press secretary about king charles and his everyday routine. >> -- so the king when he was prince charles. what he says is he was impressed by people who try to show off their intellect -- or their titles, where they're standing. that prince charles wanted to meet ordinary people.

again, he tells an anecdote of going to the latest james bond film to go and meet the cast. he was really excited about meeting daniel craig, but he didn't get there until quite late because prince charles wants to talk to all the crew, the lighting people, everyone behind the scenes. he seems to be fascinated by ordinary people. obviously, that's -- to be the future king. >> absolutely. something that people will -- >> nodule nelson, and dr. tested dunlap. great to see you guys in keeping me company. it's been good to see you. to see you. let's just show you the scene at balmoral this morning. as you can see, a huge number of flowers outside the gates there. we saw a number of police officers as well arriving at the gates of balmoral just a short time ago. this is the scene of the beginning of the movement of
