but i think what the paddington episode along with the james bond episode earlier in 2012 showed us, general miracle, the sort of experience the royal family had privately. that she was a great mimic but as you were saying, joanna, the essence of her constitutional job meant that these possibly contentious or overhuman stories had to remain silent until later because, you know, the solemn and ultimately crucial thing that she did was to be our representative and independent and nonpolitical head of state while the politicians scrubbed about the rest of life. >> a very human human. who transcended us all. >> and periodically as you see, the cap practice switch back to the various vantage points we have in edinburgh. wealk about the royal mile a lot. it's famous in terms of tourism as well but there are many, many other streets, not just the royal mile in those many streets that have been filling up over the course of the day but edinburgh's part in this is huge. there's been a lot of preparation and build-up and bedden burg -- edinburgh will be the first place in the u.k. that members

she was willing to have fun, whether on a mission with 007, or having tea with paddington bear. she brought the monarchy into people's lives and into people's homes. during her first televised christmas message in 1957, she said “today we need a special , kind of courage so that we can show the world that we are not afraid of the future.” we need that courage now. in an instant yesterday, our lives changed forever. today, we show the world that we do not fear what lies ahead. we send our deepest sympathy to all members of the royal family. we pay tribute to our late queen, and we offer loyal service to our new king. his majesty king charles iii bears an awesome responsibility that he now carries for all of us. i was grateful to speak to his majesty last night and offer my condolences. even as he mourns, his sense of duty and service is clear. he has already made a profound contribution through his work on conservation and education, and his tireless diplomacy. we owe him our loyalty and devotion. the british people, the commonwealth and all of us in this house will support him a

a huge ovation, and also about the same time we saw the queen actually do that little bit with paddingtone pulled a marmalade sandwich out of her purse which the world loved to see the queen at 96 making a joke about, look, i've got a jelly sandwich in my purse. >> brian: prime minister liz truss said this, the whole country will be deeply concerned by the news from buckingham palace this lunchtime adding my thoughts and thoughts of the people across our united kingdom are with her imagine city and the queen and her family at this time. she put that out on twitter. so we'll continue to follow this story and see what happens. obviously prince charles, if something was to happen, a lot of people thought maybe the queen would step aside in advanced age and enjoy herself and turn over the duties to prince charles but that really hasn't happened as of yet. >> steve: right. the key, though, is, you know, she is 96 years old and for the fact that doctors are now publicly saying they are -- they're using the word concerned as you can see in the banner, that makes it a little different and that's
