jo black, bbc news, on the sandringham estate.ess as people come to westminster to pay their respects. let me give you a sense of what it looks like here, just as we get sunlight in the sky. many, many thousands of people here queueing. they have spent some eight hours in some cases the night. 2a rows a day, the queen lying in state. it is a patient and calm queue, a little bit chilly for people in the very long queue. a beautiful morning here at westminster. more reflections from those who had been in the queue throughout the programme this morning. let's see how the weather is looking. matt has the forecast. the outlook is largely dry. it will feel colder, particularly by night. a fresh start today. the strong winds in the north of scotland bringing frequent showers. if you showers in eastern districts. many places will get away with a dry day with more sunshine in the afternoon. in the clouding moments it will feel cooler than recent days, especially in scotland. recent showers developing along the north sea coasts in england.

at sandringham her estate in norfolk where she retreats for nearly six weeks every winter i spent a day getting a tour of the stud farm with her stud manager and her head stallion groom. i also spent a day inspecting the royal yacht britannia, which is now a museum near edinburgh. and i was lucky enough to attend several dinners in the ballroom and the picture gallery at buckingham palace. i was not alas a guest of the queen, but i was invited by prince charles who was hosting the one his annual gatherings of his prince of wales foundation. but sitting at a table decorated with george the third silver guilt candelabra and sculpted centerpieces, i could immerse myself in the experience of being served by footman in royal livery in rooms where the queen entertains heads of state. but my favorite moments were at windsor. which the queen considers her real home? i spent time with two of the queens elderly first cousins who have known her longer than anybody else. both live near the castle in modest homes that the queen gave to them. and every sunday after church the queen drives her jaguar

not seen as a royal family that was remote, that was in england, that was in buckingham palace, sandringhamwindsor, but also very much present in scotland. that counted for a great deal in these slightly fractious times, the sense that she wants to be here. she was very affectionate towards scotland and scots. she was appreciative of the culture. she came here from baby every summer all the way through obviously until her death. so there was a sense that she was very close. she rarely intervened in domestic politics, but when she did, occasionally it was to defend the union that kept scotland and england together. >> the ascension of her son, king charles iii, then, an important moment. let's talk about what he means for the future of scotland as part of the uk because, of course, the queen's death comes amid a renewed push for scottish independence. the king will meet with the first minister of scotland, nicola sturgeon, and other leaders late today. as he takes on this role, what does king charles iii need to do to shore up support in scotland, as it were? >> he has to play a fairly stead

>> it's certainly one of her favorite places along with sandringham.owned by the monarch and they're the places where she can get the most peace and tranquility. obviously, you know, she's not only the queen of the united kingdom, of england but the queen of scotland and her mother was scottish born too. so she's in a place that she would like to be surrounded by her family and i'm sure the doctors are doing everything they can to make her as comfortable as possible. >> robert jobson, thanks very much. >>> local news and weather is next. >> building a better bay area. moving forward, finding solutions. this is abc 7. julian: good morning. i'm julian glover from abc 7 mornings. let's get a look at the traffic with sue hall. sue: we are reminding folks that vta is offering free tribes to santa clara county travelers to the nearest cooling center you just ask your driver to take you to the nearest cooling center. better news on the peninsula. this crash that was a fidelity, westbound 92, has been cleared. you should see improvements shortly. frances: you

william and kate left for s sandringham.in, we can tell you as we walked over flowers are popping up and little makeshift memorials all over the place. it's kind of a quiet london. people are being respectful but seemed a little quiet. >> reporter: yeah, people walking around with flowers and still wiping tears from their faces. it's a very emotional time here in london. robin? >> i'm sure it is. we'll check back in a little bit later with you both. >>> james longman is there along the line of people waiting to see the queen. good morning, james. >> reporter: yeah, good morning, robin. this is close to the front of the line to see queen elizabeth lying in state. nearly four miles as you heard there. some of them waiting all night just to be here. some a shorter wait than others. i've heard four, five hours, others up to ten hours. when they arrive here to westminster palace, you can see it behind me, there is security. you may be able to see the white tent where people aren't allowed to take anything besides a small bag. cer

i will say that sandringham in balmoral, you're right, they are private properties.y prince albert, queen victoria's husband. that theoretically could be sold. but what queen charles has talked about moore's opening more to the public, and even maybe, perhaps, at one point when you talk about streamlining the monarchy, he talked about actually giving back to the people and opening it to the people. buckingham palace is already open to the public. in fact, there are lots of charitable events that are already conducted their. >> well, sometimes -- charles has sometimes been an unintentional symbol of wealth inequality. like early this year, he pledged relief for working families while sitting in a dazzling gold thrown, which is an interesting backdrop. just the optics were not good. do you think he and his advisers are going to try to avoid these kinds of mistakes even more now that he is king? >> you are right that he needs to be extremely sensitive. i think, don't forget, that so many of these properties and so many of these rooms and so many other places they have s

and even if, if she died at sandringham, there would have been plan b if she died at windsor. there would have been plan, see if she died a buckingham palace. it would have been tandy that everything has been organized down to the last scintilla for the last 30 years. i would say we heard on fisher earlier talking about the that the booze as the proclamation was, was read in edinburgh. there was a great deal of affection for the queen in scotland despite many people's nationalistic ambitions there. do you think that that king charles will be held in such affection by the people, the monarchy itself, think any new monarch knows that they've got to get it right from the word go. i think we'll see more in scotland in a more public ro, he's a, has a private house school, dumfries house in our show that we'll be seeing him going there very much, but he will be on display about morrow because he wants to retain those very strong links, yes, the scholars have a more independent view of medicaid and they can, they might take it or leave it. and so he's going to work hard at that. but

but i remember one time at sandringham, she came into the kitchen. and i was making crepes.er with a spatula. and the queen came over and she stood watching me. didn't say anything. and then suddenly she said isn't that cheating? and i said i'm sorry, your majesty? >> shouldn't you be flipping them? >> i thought oh my goodness, royal command performance here. so i did one after the other, all six. and she just bravo and laughed and walked away. real pressure. >> that is pressure i couldn't imagine. it sounds like you excelled with flying colors and made the queen very happy. it's so nice to hear some of these lovely memories you had cooking for queen over these years. darren mcgrady, thank you for coming on to share these memories with us. we'll be right back. s, charging something like a hundred bucks a window when other guys were chargrging four to five-hundred bucks. he j just didn't wanna do tha. he was proudud of the price he was charging. ♪ my dad instilled i in me, always put the people before the money. be proud of offering a good product at a fair price. i think he'

buckingham palace for most of the time but spent holidays at the queen's scottish estate of balmoral and sandringhamands of married life with being head of state. -and right from the beginning, it was accepted that prince philip would be the head of a family. she'd wear the crown, but he'd wear the trousers. so all the decisions about the fabric of their homes, the domestic decisions, the big important decisions would be taken by him -- where the children went to school, all that sort of thing was in his remit. -the queen, you know, in a time -- let's be honest -- of chauvinism, of, you know, where most women did not have careers -- there were no leaders of companies. there was certainly no senior politicians that were women. and yet this woman, at 25, was at the helm of our government and our constitutional monarchal system. ♪♪ -the 1970s were a challenging period for both queen and country. now in her mid-40s, her reign was faced with mounting problems at home and abroad. northern ireland was gripped by intense sectarian violence. britain was facing power cuts, strikes, and a winter of discontent.

the queen had many large estates, windsor, sandringham, but it was here that she had the raw and royaleauty of the scottish countryside, enjoyed the walks, enjoyed driving the land rover, enjoyed the country for shoot, stalking, fishing. you can hear behind me, one of the great salmon rivers of scotland. those salmon have not been as plentiful as they used to be, and the queen was one of the early adopters of catch and release of salmon fishing and that's something that began on the east coast here in scotland. it's now on the west coast and is a big thing for all fishermen here. the queen an early adopter of that conservation spirit, the awareness of nature and the countryside around her. these were the things she cherished. and this perhaps is one of the reasons why people understand that she was comfortable here. she liked it here. and perhaps for people around here, no surprise that this is where she passed her last days. >> nic robertson in scotland, thank you so much. let's bring in the british ambassador to the united states, we're honored to have with us in the studio, dame kar
