and today, for the new king's ascension ceremony it was built 500 years ago by henry viii, truly theeight of history on king charles' shoulders in the days ahead, britain's new monarch will tour the uk, first to scotland, then to northern ireland and on to wales. later next week, he'll return to london as his mother's body is taken by procession through the streets to lie in state finally, king charles must attend her funeral, all while taking on the most important role of his life many tributes to the queen today, pointing to the many ways humor helped her through the year like when she struggled to cut a cake with a ceremonial sword. >> there is a knife if you want to -- >> i know there is >> reporter: or this spoof with the obamas and prince harry for the invictus games >> oh, really, please. >> boom. >> reporter: family anothe important support for her. she would have been delighted to see harry together with william this afternoon, as their father assumes the responsibility of monarchy with all of its restrictions carl wright, working for the commonwealth, met the queen many tim

james' palace, built by henry viii. and this has bon on for centuries.ry time there is this very formal ceremonial procedure which looks very antiquated, which is why it will be fascinating to be inside that today. it's full of tradition. you have these great members of state, members of the privy council. they're former politicians whittled down to 200. it's not happened as quickly as it might have, because the announcement of the queen's death came late in the day's actually been pushed back by a day. so it would have initially happened within 24 hours. >> you will see the privy council. many of these things may seem very unfamiliar, this is a woman who i don't think has officially been put in the role yet. she was announced prime minister three weeks ago. there will be lots and lots for our viewers to, as you suggest, see for the first time. and then, alongside those privy counselors will be camilla and the new prince of wales who will be familiar. and after that what happens? >> after that, so we have the accession council. they meet privately withou

have heard about the change in king charles is title from defender of the faith -- a title held by henry viii -- 500 years ago. to defender of faiths. to reflect the fact that this is a multicultural country -- and a commonwealth. but, we are going to see a further streamlining of the royal family -- and of those members that are dependent on the public. this is something that has been going on for some time. the lake lane was not seen as a great revolutionary. but, she did an awful lot of cutting down, when it came to the royal family's finances. king charles is going to be a live to that, to the sensitivities. he went on discussing the monarchy. number one criticism is how much they cost the people. i think charles is going to be very aware of that. i do think that we will see a honing down. he will set that smaller body of rho family members to work, i think. his son and heir, prince william, now prince of wales -- he is active on environmental issues. we are going to see more of that. >> because, of course, there have been suggestions from the naysayers, republicans, that the royal family

it's perfectly acceptable in terms of translating the latin title that was given originally to henry viii the king has a real sense of wanting to bring unity and respect and tolerance to all of the people of this country and indeed of all of the other states that he is now sovereign over. and he wants to make sure that is signalled at this early stage. he, as i believe, has a christian faith but this is something that is deliberately inclusive. and i think that tells us something about the sort of king he's going to be because he's been much pilloried in the past and yet he is and i think we saw that or heard it in the words of his speech. a man who is thoughtful and cultured and sensitive, there was so much emotion in that speech, and he is intelligent as well. he has been training for this role for longer than most monarchs have reigned, and he carries that sort of quiet authority and the care for people. and you also saw that in that very moving footage just now of people greeting him and their reactions to him. i suspect that if we give him a chance, he will show that he could be a ve

whatever simpson and henry viii did nothing compared to what harry and meghan has done.or the last year of the queen's life, for constant insults to be thrown and i think it is very, very unfair and wrong but in grief we do tend to come together. what we saw over the weekend were the two brothers with their wives coming out of windsor park to look at the flowers. let's hope, let's hope this is some kind of rapprochement. i don't know whether it will be. the big fear harry has a book coming out later this year. if he and meghan just want to make money by being nasty about their own family, well, then the riff will never ever heal but there is at least a glimmer of hope over the course of this week that it can. neil: we'll watch closely. nigel, thank you very much. nigel farage, former brexit party leader, giving you updates, great britain, the united kingdom as they become available here. meantime we have the last big primary before the actual midterms in november. want to take you to new hampshire right now where republicans are lining up candidates to take on three diff

there were periods after that, where other dynasties took -- henry viii had his coronation banquet inre. it's where the trial of charles i, the first king charles was held a after the great civil war, after which he was beheaded. in the times since then, it's become what we would equate with the capitol rotunda in washington, a place where great state occasions, where lying in states would take place. we've mentioned that winston church churchill lay in state there, as well. when notable personalities have come into london to speak to the combined houses of parliaments, like nelson mandela, popes, president obama addressed both houses of parliament in there, as well. it's a building for all occasions, and when we see it, you will see why. it is a terrific place. >> mark, it's just about 9:22 in the east, and 2:22 london time. and so this ceremony is just about to begin. timed precisely as wesley mentioned, as it will take 38 minutes to make their way to westminster. let's listen. ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ >> and the queen's coffin will be bourn by a gun carriage from buckingham palace here. to west

the white swans', such a key part of the headdress of the gentlemen at arms, instituted by henry viii of him carrying the mace, the first black sergeant of arms in the post's 600 year history. when the king and her majesty the queen consort arrive in about ten minutes they will be greeted by the lord great chamberlain, a role key to royal ceremonial, then you monarch means a new holder of that position, the seventh baron carrington on duty for the first time today. as the king arrives we will hear fanfare from the state trumpeters and then the union flag flying at half mast on victoria tower will be lowered and the royal standard raised in its place to indicate to the city outside that the king is here. there have been several days of tributes from mps and lords, some sullen, others provoking laughter. this morning the sentiments of our politicians will be distilled into two short addresses of condolence, delivered by the two speakers. then his majesty the king will respond. there is lord rupert carrington, the new lords chamber limp, walking down the centre of this westminster hall,

built by henry viii to repel invaders, rising sea levels are now proving a dogged enemy.e seeing more and more sites exposed and vulnerable to the impacts of our higher sea levels. we're looking at more storm damage and we're seeing greater levels of erosion than we've ever seen before. english heritage has named six sites it considers most at risk from coastal erosion. they include tintagel, the legendary home of king arthur, in cornwall. piel castle in cumbria, which is on an island that's eroding fast. in the dart estuary in devon, bayard's cove fort. garrison walls on the scilly islands. and calshot castle in the river solent. there is a real risk that some of the sites we look after are not going to be able to be defended for ever. and we can't stand in the way of natural processes — we have to let them work naturally, we have to allow erosion to occur. so we're not trying to stand in the way of it, what we're trying to do now is essentially buy time. so places that people value and people want to look after, we can put measures in place to protect them. an appeal ha

last night hundreds of people came to cambridge gate and the king henry viii gate behind me to lay flowersey thought of this woman. that comes from the case, these notes i have been referring to. i expect that will build in the days ahead. we have many days of preparation and morning to come. i think people will want to mark this in that intimate way with families, partners, children. tourists, locals. what happened in buckingham palace is the town end of things, you might view this as the country end. people will want to make their choice of where to pay their respects and condolences to the queen. this will be a pivotal moment, a pivotal spot with many thousands of people expected over the course of the next few days. thank you very much. her majesty was driven by a sense of public duty but sustained by her religious faith. among her many titles, she was the supreme governor of the church of england. we can speak more about this with the author and historian catherine pepinster. very good morning to you. thank you so much for your time. i wonder first of all, your thoughts. a lot of peop

i think back to henry viii and his division with the church.itish history, but i think in modern british history, you think about elizabeth, you think about her father, going back to queen victoria, really her life -- queen victoria was her great, great grandmother -- they were very careful to walk in an apolitical lane. and i think they saw it not only as important to the country, but important to their own preservation so that they would be able to maintain their strength as a cultural, traditional head of state without being tossed out potentially by political whims. so i think it's helped them in their perseverance. i i think you're going to see charles do that as well. i think there were probably times in his life where he was, you know, he had been waiting around so long for his major role which he took this morning that he wanted to sort of strike out and show his independence perhaps in some ways. i can't get inside his head, but it would appear he wanted people to see his individuality perhaps. i think you're going to see that a hemmed

it has witnessed for commissions like this, it is witnessed coronation feasts for henry viii henry viiiliament and the worlds of government and politics. the dean of westminster abbey has confirmed that he will conduct the queen's funeral, which will be held on monday the 19th of september. the funeral will take place at westminster abbey, where britain's kings and queens are crowned and where queen elizabeth married prince philip. the queen a“s faith was very important to her as the head of state had also supreme governor of the church of england. our religion editor has been looking at her faith. one of the hymns sung at the queen's coronation, starting a service today at the parish church of the royals, st martin—in—the fields, just one of many places of worship in which they“ve gathered across the country in remembrance. like a priest standing at the altar for the people before god, the queen held the aspirations, commitments and responsibilities of nation and commonwealth in her heart and mind. for 70 years, queen elizabeth was at the heart of nation and commonwealth. now she's at

it was built by edward iv, henry the viii, where her parents are buried and where she will be interredature of the queen, the countries she visited, the dedication of service, and her faith. >> reporter: yes, i think we've seen here, well, of course first of all a state funeral is defined by its military nature. it's defined by the gun carriage being poured by those 142 naval ratings, and we know her close relationship with the royal navy, prince philip, the duke of edinburgh served in the royal navy and her relationship to all of the armed forces in the day itself. but as you say, seeing 500 representatives of foreign countries here, i mean, it's the most world leaders in one place in history, i think. and so being watched by, we're told, maybe half the world's population, this is a truly extraordinary moment. but it's actually true to say, too, that it spoke to the queen's faith. i was really struck by that, by what the arch bishop of canter bury said, here she was somebody example was set. she followed not by ambition. it seems in all the broadcasts we've heard from the queen she ha

built by henry viii to repel invaders, rising sea levels are now proving a dogged enemy.hine will be in the south, more cloud across the north of the uk. a massive shake—up of the uk“s finances — the chancellor unveils a series of tax cuts and other economic measures. changes are announced to income tax and stamp duty, and kwasi kwarteng abolishes the cap on city bonuses. we promised a new approach for a new era, we promised to release the enormous potential of this country. our growth plan has delivered all those promises and more. labour said the changes are a "comprehensive demolition" of the government's last 12 years in power. it is a budget without without figures, a menu without prices. speaker, what has the chancellor got to hide? the institute for fiscal studies says the announcements are the biggest tax—cutting budget in half a century.

where the queen's body is going to go next, and it was king edward viii, the new king, prince albert, the future king george vi, prince henry the youngest brother. it had never been done before. it was incredibly moving and dramatic. there was something similar done for the queen mother back in 2002, but the origin of it, the vigil of the princes, was in 1936. who could have foretold that 11 months later, one prince albert would be king george vi. that was a moment that was with great drama and this is a moment that is with sorrow. it's, to me, having watched all this for the last few days, having written a book about the queen, having written a book about king chalres iii, this is, to me, by far the most moving element of everything that we have seen. i think it's going to be even more dramatic and sorrowful in the days ahead. i would think that this very thing we're witnessing right now will surely be repeated in westminster hall in the same kind of circumstance with probably the purple catafalque which is what they use there. sally, stay with me, please. bianca is in london. bianca, as we watch, it is remarkable that the
