george v. today as we watch the ro al car george v.nd so on and now the challenge, i suppose the king has many challenges but that is another, to continue her work in northern ireland?— another, to continue her work in northern ireland? both the king and the late queen _ northern ireland? both the king and the late queen were _ northern ireland? both the king and the late queen were both _ northern ireland? both the king and the late queen were both very - the late queen were both very expert, almost analysts, on irish politics. many people talk about the queen�*s legacy, the commonwealth and other issues, but she, i think, would think that state visit in 2011 to ireland was so important, ireland being our closest neighbours, so many family links with ireland. i think it is hugely symbolic and at this moment in time with the issues with the border and the other things to do with brexit i think it is very important the king visit northern ireland and is seen and greets the people of northern ireland as well as the politicians, of course

king george v became beloved of the nation because he had to step into this incredible role and do itbest of his ability. remember he had the speech impediment, which was shown in that incredible film the king's speech, and her life and the life of this particular line of monarchy has been, you know, also coincided with the explosive media attention, the 24/7 social media, i mean, everything that she has done and everything that the monarchy has done has been under incredibly, you know, microscopic view. the whole, you know, princess diana years, the upheavals in the royal family, the time she once said she lived through an -- when it seemed like all the family problems were coalescing at one point, then the emergence from that, and the ups and downs, mostly ups of her life as queen. she's met every single american president since truman, though she met truman before she actually became queen. but every single american president, you know, way before our memory. she has met, she has held hands with. she has in terms of shaking hands counseled as well 15 prime ministers, her first prim

and camilla was talking about george v, there was a vigil for king george v, well in that vigil was king, now we know, he very soon afterwards abdicated. >> that's okay. >> ant abdicated. and i think that caused a huge rice sis for the royal family. with w-what you're saying, it is worth remembering, it has been thought about, not just by king charles, but by the late queen herself. so there are traditions, but there are also aspects that we would have wanted. i think the princess ann, taking part of this, it would be an example of that, they were very, very close, mother and daughter, and again, it's just another, many of these don't have to happen, the queen can choose from a range of traditions, that she wanted. and i suspect this is one of those. because remember, too, this is happening in scotland. and there will be likely be another one when her body comes here to london. >> she will lie in rest here. she will lie in state in westminster hall. and the work has been in the works, the casket, many decades as well, just in case, obviously. and andrew roberts, you're with us, also, and

on a major scale was for gladstone, the prime minister at the end of queen victoria's reign and george vo was the queen's grandfather, when he saw this event, he thought it would be a wonderful way to honor his own father, the great grandfather of the queen. so that's when the insurance institution started and the lying in state was originally just for a daylso. now for elizabeth ii is going to be a day, 24 hours in scotland and four day in london. i mean, i was reflecting on her love of racing. i think one of the secrets of her success and hermineing to people was that -- her meaning to people was that while her job was grand, she was not grand. it's a cliche to talk about the common touch but she just had populist instincts in her and as we've said so many times, she was a player who understood she was in a system. she was in a system that's more important than any one individual -- individual and she worked so hard to make the royal family operate as a team and as we were saying earlier, too, king charles is clearly taking steps to imitate her very much in talking to william about the

it is a gun carriage used for all monarchs queen victoria and george v and george vi which was used in winston churchill's funeral. he was the queen's first prime minister what you are looking at are 142 members of the royal navy who since queen victoria's funeral at the turn of the 19th and 20th century have pulled the state gun carriage on that journey toward the state funeral as well they will be accompanied by the pipes and drums of the scottish and irish regiment air force and the band of the royal marines who will be accompanying her majesty's coffin on a short journey from the palace of westminster to westminster abbey where they will enter the great west door the journey, as you can see, will be accompanied by key members of the royal family. you can make out clearly the duke of sussex, prince harry to his left, as you can see, we have the prince of wales, prince william. princess anne and king charles iii and princes andrew and edward >> the pulling of the casket began when queen vehictoria's funeral. the members pulled the coffin along. that tradition has remained and that wa

and george v was streamly adept at changing the monarchy, making it more accessible and people friendlyer gruff, and at times distant exterior, but he did it. and he was effective in that way. i think the queen, in different times and in different circumstances, has done the same thing. let me give you a couple of examples of the sorts of changes that she affected. some of them small but symbolically quite important. for example, she did bring the light of television into the coronation in 1953. she was personally against it. it was against her better judgment. she thought it would in some sense, break the mystique of monarchy. but she accepted theed a advice churchill and brought the cameras in, and after that, she did regular tv broadcasts. not in the first year, but after that. she went walk about for the first time in new zealand in the early 1970s. another moment of greater accessibility and informality. people came much closer to her physically. and then i thought that she was very adept at listening to the public mood when diana had died. she came down very quickly, and she came

and lilibet in line to succession have moved to six and seven place, under what was stipulated by george v in 1917 the grandchildren of the monarch are automatically prince and princess is by by all accounts those titles haven't been taken up. they remain master and miss, which is interesting, does that mean harry and meghan have chosen because they wanted their children to be ordinary people not to give them those titles or does it come from charles himself, who knows? >> very interesting, we have 15 seconds, can we talk dogs very quickly. >> susie who was with the queen, she took susie, the dog she took on the honey moon, there were three in the marriage philippe used to trip over them. she had doggies which is a hybrid, one of them got busy with the princess margaret's dog. >> tesla and nigel, thank you both very much indeed, good to have your take on the papers. do stay with us we will have live coverage from buckingham palace and balmoral throughout the morning this morning as the queen's funeral cortege begins at 10:00, to stay with us. stay with us. >> published and proclaim, that t
