The queen is marking the 70th Anniversary of her reign, a milestone never before reached by a british monarch. She acceded to the throne this day in 1952, but is now looking to the future, saying in a statement that shed like camilla, the Duchess Of Cornwall, to be known as Queen Consort when Prince Charles becomes king. 0ur royal correspondent, nicholas witchell, is live in sandringham for us. Yes, moments of undoubted significance for the monarchy the queens intervention to secure that full status for camilla as Queen Consort when charles becomes king, a smoothing of the way to the next rain, and the queen because my own historic milestone today and her clear commitment to carry on. I look forward to continuing to serve you with all my heart so says the queen in her Accession Day message. On this day, when she marks the 70th Anniversary of the moment she came to the throne, its clear that her commitment remains undimmed by the passage of years. And, with that message, a glimpse from Buckingham Palace of the unseen work of the monarch the paperwork which comes every day in the official red boxes, a routine which this monarch has followed virtually every day of those 70 years. Behind her, a photograph of her late father, george vi as, with her private secretary, sir edward young, she reviewed Government Documents and messages from abroad. Nice comments, including one from president biden. Oh, thats very kind. From clarence house, the prince of wales said he and his wife were deeply conscious of the honour of his mothers wish that camilla should be known as Queen Consort when he becomes king. And he said, on this historic day, my wife and ijoin you all in congratulating her majesty the queen on the remarkable achievement of serving this nation, the realms and commonwealth for 70 years. Big day tomorrow, you know, because its 70 years. Guests who saw the queen yesterday in the ballroom at sandringham said she looked a little more frail physically than the figure to which weve been accustomed, though she was as alert and sharp as ever. Applause. In her message last night, the queen said she was humbled by the loyalty and affection that she continued to receive. The message was signed, your servant, elizabeth r. The Duchess Of Cornwall� s path to full acceptance has not been an easy one. Many people blamed her. By The Royal Family hasnt been easy. She was widely blamed for her part in the breakdown of charless first marriage, to diana, princess of wales and, for many years, the queen wouldnt meet her. Daniela relphs report contains flashing images. When charles is king, we now know camilla will be his queen. It is the ultimate recognition from the current monarch, and a total rehabilitation for camilla. Their wedding day in 2005 thejourney, to this point, had at times been rocky. Camilla Parker Bowles was a controversial figure, blamed by some for the end of the princes first marriage. His relationship with the Young Camilla had faltered in their 20s. Decades later, it took until camillas 50th Birthday Party at the ritz for them to go public with their romance. The path to acceptance, though, was difficult. But slowly, carefully, camilla won the trust of the queen and began to win over a cautious public. In making it clear what she wants for camilla, the queen has rewarded her Daughter In Law for her loyalty to Prince Charles, and the happiness and stability she has brought him. Its also a recognition of camillas own campaigning, from literacy to Animal Welfare to domestic violence, where she recently spoke about the horror of abuse. This country has been appalled and saddened by the loss of women to violence this year. On average, one woman is killed by a man every three days. And in Media Interviews here with the bbc� s emma barnett she spoke personally, with warmth and honesty, about missing her grandchildren during lockdown. I shall look forward to the date when i can really give them a huge hug again. Camilla had always been described as a non negotiable part of the princes life. Now we know it is the queens wish, too, that camilla will be at her husbands side in the years ahead as his wife, his supporter and his queen. Daniela relph, bbc news, sandringham. Now, theres no doubt that Buckingham Palace will be watching closely the public reaction to camillas future status, but there is confidence, not least amid the positive feeling of the jubilee, that it will be widely accepted. Today the queen has been spending it in private, remembering, of course, herfather in private, remembering, of course, her father and in private, remembering, of course, herfather and her late in private, remembering, of course, her father and her late husband, in private, remembering, of course, herfather and her late husband, who spent many years here at sandringham. Clive, back to you. Nick, many thanks for that. The business secretary, kwasi kwarteng, has urged conservative mps to give borisjohnson Time And Space to deliver on his election promises. It comes after a week which has seen resignations from Downing Street and more tory mps submitting letters of no confidence in the Prime Minister. 0ur Political Correspondent helen catt is here. Helen, whos he aiming this at . I think its pretty clear that he is appealing to conservative mps who might be sitting at home this weekend considering putting on another one of those letters of no confidence, and what he is effectively saying is, look, hold fire. There were two new appointments in the Downing Street team last night. Ditto harry, former bbcjournalist, who worked with borisjohnson when he was mayor of london, has been brought in as the new director of communications, and a slightly more unusual appointment a cabinet minister, steve barclay, has become the new chief of staff, a role usually done by unofficial. The thinking behind that is that it sort of integrates the cabinet into the Downing Street operation. There have been questioned this morning about how feasibility is to do all three jobs at the same time. Another interesting thing today, another call for this hold fire from the backbenches, former tory leader Iain Duncan Smith saying he doesnt think it is the right time for a leadership challenge, and he had a warning or a message, leadership challenge, and he had a warning ora message, if leadership challenge, and he had a warning or a message, if you like, for those who be rivals to the Prime Minister temper your ambitions. Helen, thank you. The convicted murderer Levi Bellfield, whos serving a whole life sentence for killing the schoolgirl milly dowler, has now admitted carrying out a Double Murderfor which another man has been jailed. Michael stone has always denied responsibility for the deaths of lin and Megan Russell in kent in 1996. His lawyer, paul bacon, says hes now received a four page statement from bellfield, in which he claims to have carried out the attacks. Heres matt graveling. Lin russell was walking her daughters through the Kent Countryside when they were attacked with a hammer. Lin and six year old megan were killed. Nine year old josie survived. Michael stone has twice been found guilty of the murder. But now, almost 26 years on, michael stones solicitor says he has a document stating that Levi Bellfield the man guilty of murdering schoolgirl millie dowler, Amelie Delagrange and Marsha Mcdonnell has confessed to killing lin and Megan Russell. The last paragraph in the statement says he wants to apologise to michael stone. Yes, i think its a very important statement. I think there are things in it which can be corroborated. My first step, as i say, is to send it to the criminal cases review commission. My second step is to pass it to the police. As reported in todays sun newspaper, in the four page statement, Bellfield Who now goes by the name yusuf rahim details how he carried out the killings, saying he wore yellow washing up gloves and carried the hammer in his right hand. Belfield described how he walked lin, megan and Josie Russell of the lane. He said he only ever intended to attack lin. But when she failed to scream, it gave him more confidence. Bellfield went on to add he is willing to speak to the police. In 2017, stones legal team obtained evidence of a confession that bellfield had made in prison confessing to the russell murders, but stones conviction was not overturned. If im honest, it was a relief. I apologise to stone and the Russell Family for my heinous acts. Today, kent police said a comprehensive investigation has been carried out into allegations Levi Bellfield was involved in the russell murders. It concluded there was no evidence to support those claims. Matt graveling, bbc news. The king of morocco has expressed his condolences to the parents of a five year old boy who died after being trapped in a well since tuesday. A huge Rescue Effort in the small Northern Town of tamorot had captured the imagination of many around the world and ended last night, when Emergency Crews finally reached rayan 0ram, 32 metres below ground. Simonjones has the story. As huge crowds watched on, initially relief that rayan had been found, carried by his rescuers to a waiting ambulance. But that quickly turned to despair and grief. Despite painstaking efforts to save him, the little boy didnt survive. Rayans parents had been hoping and praying for good news. Instead, they received a call of condolence from king mohammed. The boys family now trying to come to terms with their loss. Translation i cant describe how i feel that my cousin is gone. What can i say . Translation my heart i is aching for him too much. My nephew my heart aches for him. May god be with him, just like how god stood with us. Rayan had fallen down the well on tuesday evening while his father was trying to fix it. This image of him captured on thursday by a camera lowered down, showing him injured but conscious. It prompted a huge and complex Rescue Operation around the clock. The five year old was trapped more than 30 metres down, the shaft too narrow for rescuers to reach him. Instead, they gouged out a new trench by the side then tumbled tunnelled towards him. All the time having to contend with the risk of landslides. It was a race against time, but time ultimately ran out. The Rescue Attempt was followed notjust by the crowds at the scene but by people watching online around the world. For rayans family, the worst news, but they will find some comfort in the huge efforts made by those whove never met rayan to try to save him. Simon jones, bbc news.

The rest of sunday is essentially some sunshine and showers, but across the northern half of the uk for scotland, Northern Ireland and Northern England it means further snow showers and gusty winds and we could see blizzards and further south any showers will be rain blowing through quickly and we might see a bit of patchy rain returning to the far South West Of England and across the southern half of the uk we saw the highest temperatures this morning, falling away through the afternoon looking at between four and nine celsius typically as a top temperature. 0vernight the winds will ease and for many it becomes cold and clear with a risk of frost and ice and away from Western Areas as more cloud pushes in from the west so away from Northern Ireland in Western Scotland temperatures widely at or below freezing which means its a cold and frosty start tomorrow but any sunshine will quickly fade as this band of cloud pushes in from the west bringing patchy rain into northern and Western Scotland and Northern England, Northern Ireland and wales and further south and east should stay dry but cloudy but it will be feeling milder.
