our queen, queen elizabeth ii, she died yesterday afternoon... soar valley college in leicester, young people were discussing the monarch who has defined the country she led for 70 years and what comes next. does anyone have any questions about this? yes? will the money currency change? what surprised you most in the last 2a hours? these year 11 students all spoke of their respect for the late monarch, but had different views on the monarchy. i feel like she related to us because when she was our age, she was doing the war efforts with the people of her age. i feel like she was one of us, even though we might have seen her as a greater person. she seemed like a very kind and caring person. in the photos, she's always waving at kids, going up to kids. i still believe the monarchy is still important in our- society because they can still help in many ways, i like helping with organisations throughout the world. - they help to represent our country. _ i think the whole role should be given to the prime minister instead because they are allowed to ge

i'll be different to the queen. we have taken it for granted that the queen gets on planes and travels around the world and mid-subjects. we forget the huge excitement, really, that the world embrace the young queen in the 50s. the dark, drab days of the second world war, she was shining lights -- she was the first global celebrity, and we forget that no. we look at the old woman -- very glamorous, exciting celebrity figure, and we will not see that again, obviously with charles. be a different charlie monarch. he will want to be king to get out of subjects as soon as possible, given what we know about him. >> dominic thank you much indeed, we will see later. to you know, to give -- the queen always had a special place and her heart for the commonwealth, who she saw as a few former colonies grow into 56 nations, many former british empire. they have made the uk their home during her reign. skies lisa holland has been speaking to calm and what communities. spyou call her grandma? >> yes. >> in south london, they call

you lost a queen. i want to play some sound from what the new pm said about the queen and then get your reaction. >> watch. the death of her majesty. the queen is a huge up to the nation and to the world quinella of us . the second was the rock on which modern britain was built. our country has grown and flourished under her reign. britain is the great country it is today because of her a great country with some adjusting to your thoughts on this, sir, well, good morning, trace, and greetings from london. first of all, my prayers and condolences must go to the royal family on the sad passing of her majesty queen elizabeth . the second we must remember that king charles , the third as he now is , is not only the king of the united kingdom, he'll be king of the commonwealth, which encompasses fifty six nations covering two point four billion people. so this is an enormous change. i do hope, trace, that this is the dawn of a new era, not the dawn of a new era, because the king is a very different characte

with the queen.ying she was the most remarkable woman she had ever encountered so there is a sense of sadness here today but also a sense of celebration and i think a sense of celebration and i think a sense of change as well. remember it's only three days since the new prime minister was sworn in by the queen at balmoral, we now have a new monarch, only a few hours into his reign and the two of them will have their first reign and the two of them will have theirfirst audience at reign and the two of them will have their first audience at some point this afternoon. a visual embodiment of the changes at the top of the british state but also a sense of continuity, the constitutional monarchy continues. hick continuity, the constitutional monarchy continues. nick eardley in westminster. _ monarchy continues. nick eardley in westminster, thank _ monarchy continues. nick eardley in westminster, thank you. _ the queen chose to spend most of her later years at her official residence of windsor castle, inste

you are not allowed to touch the queen, but the queen, in her very humorous way, reacted in the very warm away that kind of underlines. i think the special relationship between her, especially michelle obama. i think the queen understood how stressful and how hard that can be like to be and the public eye, which is not always really friendly to women in a school in washington. thank you so much. although she had increasingly withdrawn from high profile royal duties in recent years, queen elizabeth dedicated her 70 year reign to serving her subjects. we look back now at the life of the world's oldest and longest reigning monarch o. no british monarch reigned for as long as queen elizabeth the 2nd. ah, she was a constant in time of dramatic change. ah, all was disciplined. always dutiful. a life of public service. right? until the end. in 1926, elizabeth came into the world. she was not born to be queen, but when her uncle king edward the 8th advocated after less than a year on the throne, elizabeth father was crowned king. his daughter suddenly became the crown princess . she accepted

queen herself. and so to day 70 years on it comes full circle. the queen returns off through a life of duty to be remembered. let's bring in, eddowes said, historian and royal commentator at the scale of this is, is just mind boggling, isn't it? when the last, you know, of a monarch was hair, it was more than 200 years ago. so would have been working on to plan the preparation as you, as you rightly point, nick is, is mind boggling. the finding has gone into this has been years in the making. and what we are witnessing is the, is the result of that. this is if you like, a final send off fit for the for the television queen. what they didn't have back in the 18th century was the kind of mass media that we have today. elizabeth, the 2nd as a rating moment was, was someone that was exposed to new kinds of media coverage. 1953 coronation was of course televised as well from this very building that we're looking at. and therefore, i think very fitting the we are here. it's a bit a final farewell in what

the queen's mother, the queen mother, queen elizabeth is there. also her sister and her husband.o, she will be reunited with all of them in this private ceremony that you were just talking about. clarissa was just talking about, this private ceremony at st. george's chapel windsor. we have the great ceremony, 2,000 people. you're watching the arrivals. a ceremony for the queen's household at st. george's chapel and final one for the family, reminding us she was head of state the international queen and also head of a castle, head of many estates and had all her staff and then finally she was a mother, a grandmother and a great grandmother. that's to be commemorated 7:30 tonight in a service that will not be televised and the final moment is when the queen will be lowered into the st. george's memorial chapel where with her parents, with her husband, reunited with her family and her father who died in 1952. >> in an act of respect for their great grandmother, prince george and -- who is just 9 years old, of course, princess charlotte, who is just 7, will join their parents, prince
