Richard stone painted a portrait of the queen back in 1992 its his most famous work and has been hailed as one of the finest painted of the monarch during her majestys reign. It took seven sittings and three years to complete and was even chosen by the queen as the royal mail airmail stamp. My Colleaguejoanna Gosling spoke to richard a little earlier about what it was like to paint the queen. It was a very special experience. In fact, it was a realisation of a dream id held since i was four years old. I embarrassed my family by clutching the railings outside Buckingham Palace on a birthday treat, saying quite loudly, i am going to paint the queen my parents were very nonplussed and quickly bribed me with an ice cream and we went home rather early. But i held onto that dream, and it had been an ambition of mine to paint a portrait of the queen. So there i was in my mid 30s being invited to Buckingham Palace to undertake a very onerous task, and it was hugely thrilling but needless to say a daunting challenge because, yes, it was the realisation of a dream, but could i pull it off . The queen was very generous in her time, but actually suggested that the sittings should be held over three summers. The light could then be relied upon and you hoped it would be constant. But as the three years just melted, it became a labour of love. I adored every agonising second of wanting to get it right. Not letting myself down and perhaps most importantly not letting the queen down. You use the word agonising but you also said it was a dream of yours since the age of four. There must have been such a sense, in wanting to get it right, of almost pinching yourself in the moment of what you were actually tasked with and the proximity you had with her majesty during that period. The queen was totally professional about the whole exercise. And remember, the queen has sat for many portraits, so i dont think she greets the request for another portrait with any sense of glee, it has to be considered an occupational hazard. But from the very first sitting the queen said, mr stone, tell me what you want me to do. So i would demonstrate the pose. Wed chosen what she was going to wear. She seemed surprised that i said, may we talk . It was important that i kept her features animated. I wanted to get a sense of what she was like as a person. Because it is clear that when the queen, with the aura that she has, wearing the robes of state, and of course that fabulous george iv diadem, looks very much a monarch, and not wanting to be intimidated by that and really wanting to be honest to myself as a portrait painter, painting a real portrait what was this lady like . And during the course of those conversations, one was able to experience something of the warmth, the feeling of humanity of the lady, the graciousness, the interest she had in people, and the realm, the world. So one wanted it to sort of recognise her knowledge and intelligence and wisdom. I tried so hard to capture something that in many ways is so ethereal. The response ive had from many people seeing the portrait, that has clearly been seen by so many people now, is that i must have captured something, because it does resonate with people. It is a picture im very proud of. The artist richard stone. Now its time for a look at the weather with helen willetts. It feels a little fresher out and about today and the reason is the change in Wind Direction. We are now pulling the wind down from the north, behind various weather systems, bringing showers, and the northerly wind introduces arctic air across the uk, which means it will be our first significant chilly snap of the autumn. Quite a windy spell as well. The winds quite blustery in the north and east, pulling in lots of showers for scotland, one or two in the east, the odd one further west coming down the cheshire planes into the north west midlands. But you can see temperatures on a par with yesterday in the north, but notably lower further south. Worth bearing in mind if you are coming to london because it will feel quite chilly around the buildings, particularly with the blustery wind. There could be a shower, the outside chance of a shower tomorrow, but it is largely fine and dry. Through the evenings and into the night time period, that is when we will really notice the chill. Frost is in the forecast for the north over the coming few nights. The wider picture is one of showers continuing through the night and temperatures falling lower. But the wind will be a bit stronger, strengthening through the course of this night. Therefore, fewer mist and fog problems but a touch of grass frost in the glens of scotland, even further south, temperatures into single figures. So it looks as though friday will see a bit more sunshine but probably a few more showers getting into Eastern Parts of england, and a stronger wind, quite blustery. As the day goes on it will start to ease further west, so although there will be the chance of a few showers in the west, probably fewer than today, and the wind starts to ease a little as High Pressure builds. Again tomorrow mid to high teens temperatures for most of us, a little below where they should be for this time of year. Through the weekend, we get this little Weather Front, but we still keep High Pressure around so still quite a lot of dry and settled clear weather, friday night into saturday. Thats when we could have A Touch Of Frost even further south in rural spots, but itll be very isolated. It means quite a bright start before we get more cloud introduced on our Weather Front across scotland. Perhaps some heavier rain here for a time but as it meanders south during saturday and sunday it will tend to peter out. A lot of dry weather around during saturday and sunday and, as ever, we will keep you updated. This is bbc news the headlines Tens Of Thousands of people queue to pay their respects to the queen, as she lies in state in Westminster Hall. The queue outside is now several miles long and people from all around the country have travelled to join it and say a final farewell.

Hundreds of people report seeing a Shooting Star over the sky of scotland and Northern Ireland last night. Good afternoon from westminster, where members of the public are queuing for the queens Lying In State in its first full day. This is a little glimpse of the cues that have been going on for hours and hours and hours. Queues. People go into the white tent and that means the end of their long wait is in sight. The security in the tent is the final step before they can enter Westminster Hall. The queue now stretches back for 4 miles and this lunchtime royal officials have confirmed details for mondays State Funeral for Queen Elizabeth ii. The service will be held at Westminster Abbey before the late queen is taken to be buried at Windsor Castle. The queen will be interred with the duke of edinburgh in st georges chapel in a private service at 7. 30pm on monday. King charles and his siblings will hold a vigil there at 6 30 tomorrow evening. Westminster hall is open to the public day and night until early monday morning for people to pay their respects to the late queen. Her coffin is guarded at all hours by units from the sovereign� s bodyguard, the Household Division or Yeoman Warders of the Tower Of London. Our correspondent Caroline Hawley has more. It is a week since the country learned of Queen Elizabeths death, a week of National Public mourning and a private grief and right now, thousands upon thousands of people wait patiently to pay their last respects. They have been on their feet all night, and there are hours left to go before they will get to Westminster Hall. The queue, several miles long, snakes along the banks of the river thames. It has been orderly, organised and by all accounts a friendly experience, a coming together of people who want to show their gratitude and respect. Look at all these people, you know, theyre coming for their queen. There are even tourists here, we have met so many nice people, it has been lovely and i would regret, absolutely regret, if i didnt come. Today is the first full day of the queen Lying In State before her funeral on monday. Last night, emily and her two sons arrived in london from birmingham. Can you remember where dq is . Where the queue is. It is london bridge, the end of the queue, lets go and catch the tube. Joining people from all over the country, of all ages. For them today, being here was too important to miss. We have just come out of seeing her majesty, it was absolutely amazing. Awesome. Thoroughly worth the six hour wait that we had. In the middle of last night, out of public view, the military was busy rehearsing its role in this historic moment. Preparations for the queens death have been decades in the making, meticulous plans, now being meticulously practised and finessed. 142 sailors from the royal navy will draw the state gun carriage, used for Queen Victorias funeral, which will take the queens body to Westminster Abbey, on monday. Pallbearers even practise their final duty to their former commander in chief, carrying an empty, black coffin. At 10 44am the queens coffin will be taken from Westminster Hall to Westminster Abbey, a solemn journey of eight minutes. It was here that she was crowned, back in 1953. The Funeral Service attended by Heads Of State from every corner of the globe, starts at 11am. It will be followed by a national two minute silence. The route of the procession goes past Buckingham Palace and onto wellington arch, where her coffin will be transferred into the state hearse. The late monarch will then be driven to Windsor Castle for a more intimate service at st georges chapel. Attended by members of The Royal Family and staff who served her throughout her reign. She will then be laid to rest in the evening, a private service. At sandringham, the prince and princess of wales came to greet well wishers and to look at the many floral tributes left to the queen. Inside Westminster Hall for these members of the public, the long wait to say goodbye was over, everyone here with their own feelings, memories, emotions, as the country prepares, with pomp and pageantry, to bid its finalfarewell to britains longest ever reigning monarch. Caroline hawley, bbc news. And a reminder that the bbc is offering a continuous, 24 hour view of the queens Lying In State, for those who want to pay their respects, but cant make it to london, or who are physically unable to queue. The service is available on the bbc home page, the bbc news website and app, the iplayer, on bbc parliament, and the red button. We can give you a sense of the state of the queues. People say they have beenin of the queues. People say they have been in the queues now five hours or so and they stretch from here outside the Palace Of Westminster right along the river thames on to the south bank. Lambeth bridge is not far away but you go south over Lambeth Bridge and then head back east right over around the bend that the river takes as far as blackfriars. People arejoining the river takes as far as blackfriars. People are joining at Millennium Bridge and that incredible site you can see, very close to where i am, is where they have condensed the crowd into this back and forward taped off section where people go from side to side across the gardens and that makes the queue a lot shorter. There is still quite a long way to go but when you get to the end of that, thatis when you get to the end of that, that is about 20 minutes, and the people in there right now say, 5. 5 hours from where they started on the south bank of the river thames out to the east but when they see the white tent, that is the airport style security where bags are scanned and sniffer dogs and people are checked, so it is long process but all through the day even when we came here earlier this morning, at first light, people had been up all night standing in the queue, and they were not complaining. We can go to our correspondent on the other side of westminster palace. How are people feeling . People feeling . These are the gates where people people feeling .

People coming out very emotional, plenty of tissues, people discussing with family and friends and people they have just met in the queue, that they have visited the coffin alongside, reflecting on that experience, and there are people Milling Around as to what to do next. The streets are closed to traffic so there are a lot of people gathering in the streets of westminster. Imjoined gathering in the streets of westminster.

We have been talking about the queues for westminster and they have been stretching all the way along, Lambeth Bridge, albert embankment, and the metropolitan Police Officers and the metropolitan Police Officers and Police Officers from all around the country, ijust saw Greater Manchester police, and many stewards and volunteers who are managing the queues and i saw somebody collecting spare food from the scouts that they were going to donate to food banks. Our Correspondentjohn Maguire has been talking to those who have been queuing. From across the United Kingdom and around the globe, they came, and they waited and they queued. All, for this, a fleeting but significant moment, a chance to say goodbye, notjust to a monarch, but to a woman who meant so much to so many. Catherine had flown in from the United States just to be here today. Very emotional. Very poignant, very touching, to see everyone going in and paying their respects. You can just feel the love that everyone has for her. Other journeys were not as far but no less important. She had compassion, empathy, forgiveness and love, and i think that has given more to the world than anything, and if only other leaders could be that way. Wouldnt we live in a wonderful place . It was amazing, worth waiting 11 hours. I it really was. I thought to myself i would never see her again so this was the opportunity that i wanted to go and pay my respects. Maureen and her daughter emily made the decision to come this morning and entered through the accessible queue. She got you through your life, didnt she . Yes, we are here on behalf of the whole family, past and present. Along the two mile queue that straddles both sides of the river thames, there are volunteers on hand to help, multi faith teams are here to offer support and solace. This morning the archbishop of canterburyjoined them, after playing a leading role in recent days. The idea of coming to see people here today . To see how people are and where they have come from. Most people are in very good shape. I had a couple of conversations yesterday, where the process had renewed their sense of grief over their own losses. I have heard that a lot. Particularly coming out, the chaplains have found that. Leading politicians would have been in Westminster Hall many times, but never before to pay their respects to their monarch. By day and by night, they will continue to come over the next few days, compelled by their own reasons, with their own stories, but with one thing in common the desire to say thank you and to say goodbye. John maguire, bbc news, westminster. The prince and princess of wales have been in sandringham in norfolk to see the tributes left their for the queen. The Royal Residence was packed with majesties for her majesty and it gave her the chance to indulge in her love of Simple Pleasures like walking the dogs or taking tea with the Womens Institute packed with memories for her majesty. While much of the focus has been in scotland and london, here in norfolk, on the sandringham estate, is a growing blanket of flowers a declaration of peoples affection, admiration and appreciation for the late monarch. Where is the queen . Asks three year old matilda. Shes up in the clouds, shes told by her mum, charlotte. She has gone, yeah. The queen was very important, wasnt she . She played a big part in everybody� s lives, didnt she . But now, where is the queen now . At. Up in the sky. In heaven, yeah. In the sky. Shes gone. Shes gone to rest. Its very emotional and its really, really. A proper place to be on a day| like this, and a time like this. Theyre going to learn about this at school. So, you know, we can tell them we brought flowers and, you know, say that theyve been and laid flowers for the queen. The late queen was able, when she was at sandringham, to drive around the estate, to be very much the lady with the head scarf on, and the tartan skirt, and to go and see her foals being born, to walk her dogs around and, indeed, to go to the wi, into her local shop. | archive The Royal Family set off| from sandringham house to inspect the splendid crops being harvested on the kings estate in norfolk. This part of norfolk and its surrounding areas held a particular place in the queens affections. Herfather, king george vi, loved it here. This footage from 1943 shows him and the then princess elizabeth on a Family Bike Ride to inspect the harvest. Like balmoral, the private residence at sandringham allowed the monarch time to relax. She and her family spent christmas here, and injanuary, as president , she would attend the wi meeting. Shed sign the minutes, read annual reports, and one year even went to a very dark village hall on the day of a power cut. These meetings gave the queen a couple of hours to chat with fellow members and enjoy some light refreshments. She would pour the tea for them and offer them the cakes. Wed just all chat amongst ourselves, and then, a little while later, her chair would sort of go back a little bit and the handbag would come up, and the lipstick would come out. And that was the cue to the lady in waiting we were getting ready to move. And that, really, in a nutshell, is a meeting. Its magical. I mean, however many times you do it, its still like doing the first one. Its very odd and very. Its like a miracle, really. Since the queens death, the pupils at sandringham and west Newton Primary School have been reflecting on their memories of meeting her and other members of The Royal Family, often at the estates churches or events like the annual flower show. Im very pleased that i did get to meet her, and i feel proud that i actually got the chance because a lot of people dont get the chance to meet someone from royal family. Well, she gave us all a bit of a wave and shes really kind and gentle. And she asked how the school was getting on. And i think i responded that it was getting on really nice and i was really enjoying it. Youve met the future king and thats obviously quite a thing, isnt it . Mm. How are you feeling knowing youve already met him . I feel happy, and i feel, like, proud a bit. Since Queen Elizabeths death was announced, around 100,000 people have travelled here to pay their respects, to bid farewell and say thank you. For many people here, she was a neighbour the sovereign, who loved this part of norfolk. Jo black, bbc news, on the sandringham estate. The kit people continue to come here At Westminster and they are queueing up At Westminster and they are queueing up for about four miles with an estimated waiting time of 5 6 hours which seems to be increasing but not a long way from where we are, that is the scene where the crowd is condensed into a small area and although it is moving rapidly, there is a way to go before they get there but the end is in sight when they see this, the white tent, that is the airport style security, very efficiently moving everyone through at quite a pace as you can see from the pictures. The queue walks briskly and theres not much standing around in one place. Nobody i have met who has spent hours waiting has complained about the length of time, and some of the journeys they have been describing are incredible. One man had just landed at Heathrow Airport from San Francisco and he came straight here and he queued for six hours and he will be flying back tomorrow night. And then there was someone from new zealand and cameroon and they had made friends because standing with the same people in the queue for hours means that bonds are forming and people are talking to each other and people are talking to each other and although it is a solemn atmosphere it is also one where people are warm and friendly to each other but it is very quiet and that is the striking thing. But that is all now from westminster. Stay with us on bbc news where we will bring you the latest on her majestys Lying In State and the plans for the State Funeral on monday. Now back to the studio. Studio thank you very much. We can now reflect on the past few days with margaret macmillan, emeritus professor of International History at oxford and she joins us now from our studio in oxford. Thanks forjoining us. This must be a fascinating spectacle for you. A hugely symbolic period of time. As we see the crowd moving from Queen Elizabeth to king charles. What are your thoughts . Elizabeth to king charles. What are yourthoughts . Im elizabeth to king charles. What are your thoughts . Your thoughts . Im struck by the sense of community your thoughts . Im struck by the sense of community of your thoughts . Im struck by the sense of community of people i your thoughts . Im struck by the i sense of community of people coming together and maybe there are moments where we recognise we are part of a Wider Community and this is one of those moments, and as a number of people said on the street, it is a time when people reflect on what they value and a lot of people said they value and a lot of people said they were thinking about the people they were thinking about the people they loved who died and so it is one of those moments where we stopped but we are all very busy but we stop and think about things beyond ourselves and our community and about those we love. That ourselves and our community and about those we love. Ourselves and our community and about those we love. That sense of loss is universal, about those we love. That sense of loss is universal, the about those we love. That sense of loss is universal, the sense about those we love. That sense of loss is universal, the sense of i loss is universal, the sense of grief and of course The Royal Family are having to continue their very important ceremonial and constitutional roles while juggling with those emotions which inevitably of course they are feeling. It with those emotions which inevitably of course they are feeling. Of course they are feeling. It must be hard for of course they are feeling. It must be hard for them of course they are feeling. It must be hard for them and of course they are feeling. It must be hard for them and im of course they are feeling. It must be hard for them and im sure i of course they are feeling. It must| be hard for them and im sure they must be physically exhausted because the schedule is pretty nonstop. But what people are mourning in the queen is someone who was a symbol as much as she was a human being and i think people talk about her as a symbol of something and that is a double burden for The Royal Family because they are mourning a symbol and their mother, their grandmother, someone that was with them their all their lives. Someone that was with them their all their lives. All their lives. What do you think we are going all their lives. What do you think we are going to all their lives. What do you think we are going to see all their lives. What do you think we are going to see in all their lives. What do you think we are going to see in terms i all their lives. What do you think we are going to see in terms of. All their lives. What do you think i we are going to see in terms of the difference that it will make for us, having a king . A man who has been preparing for this moment his entire life and has had to wait for a very long time but he becomes king in a very different era from 1957 when his mother was crowned. The royal family and his mother was crowned. The royal family and monarchy his mother was crowned. The royal family and monarchy has his mother was crowned. The royal family and monarchy has changed. Family and monarchy has changed enormously since the queen was crowned in 1953 and it will keep changing and Prince Charles will have his own ideas about what he wants to do. It will continue to evolve. It is a monarchy in the 21st century, no longer the 20th century, and it is a very different world. He does have a very heavy burden of expectation because everyone will be watching him intently to see what kind of king he will be. Haifa watching him intently to see what kind of king he will be. Watching him intently to see what kind of king he will be. How does he command the kind of king he will be. How does he command the admiration kind of king he will be. How does he command the admiration and kind of king he will be. How does he command the admiration and that i command the admiration and that respect . It is something you have got to earn over time, i imagine. That is part of it. The queen was there so long and carried out her duties with such dignity and really determination but without making a great fuss about it. That won her a lot of admiration and for most of us she has been the queen of the uk all our lives and she has been there and thatis our lives and she has been there and that is something that only comes with time. Prince charles, now King Charles Iii, he has been a Prince Of Wales but he now will have to become the king and he will have to spend the king and he will have to spend the time that the queen spent and that eventually perhaps well give him the same sort of deep respect that people have given to the queen will give. That people have given to the queen will give will give. Some of the things that have will give. Some of the things that have interest will give. Some of the things that have interest of will give. Some of the things that have interest of the will give. Some of the things that have interest of the prince | will give. Some of the things l that have interest of the Prince Of Wales as he was over the years, very pertinent now, so to what extent does that give you an idea as to the issues he will focus on where he can, whilst remaining apolitical . He was can, whilst remaining apolitical . He was one of the first people talk about Climate Change and has always been a very keen environmentalist and very concerned about Climate Change. He will have more constraints now, compared to when he was Prince Of Wales, but i imagine that he will continue in his own way to highlight his concerns and the concerns that the world has about Climate Change. He concerns that the world has about Climate Change. Concerns that the world has about Climate Change. He remains the Head Of State for a Climate Change. He remains the Head Of State for a number Climate Change. He remains the Head Of State for a number of Climate Change. He remains the Head Of State for a number of countries.

In australia there is a fairly strong Republican Movement but the current Prime Minister said this is not an issue they are going to tackle at the moment. They have got other things to worry about including their relationship with the aborigines. In canada there isnt much of a Republican Movement and on the whole canadians prefer to have a monarchy because it distinguishes us from the us but in some of the west Indian Islands there has been a move to becoming a republic and i dont think that will necessarily make a difference to the relationship of those countries that are republics with the commonwealth and with britain. That relationship is always evolving and the commonwealth has included republics since the second world war, since india became independent. Ih world war, since india became independent. World war, since india became indeendent. ,. ,. , independent. In terms of modernising the r0 al independent. In terms of modernising The Royal Family. Independent. In terms of modernising The Royal Family, that independent. In terms of modernising The Royal Family, that cannot independent. In terms of modernising The Royal Family, that cannot stand. The royal family, that cannot stand still either. How likely is it that we are going to see a Smaller Group of royals carrying out those duties . It is well known that Prince Charles like his father before him, Prince Philip, Thought The Monarchy should be slimmed down and that it should become only something with working royals and that those who are by birth part of The Royal Family need not necessarily be a part of it. I would imagine this is something he will take very seriously indeed. It seems to me that would be something thatis seems to me that would be something that is appropriate, because we are in the 21st century and monarchy has got to evolve and the dutch monarchy, the danish monarchy, the swedish monarchy, they have all evolved to become less formal and less rigid and smaller in the numbers of those who actually go out and do the royal work.

The treasury is considering removing a cap on Bankers Bonuses as part of a post brexit shake up of city rules. The bbc has been told that no final decisions have been made, but that the chancellor, Kwasi Kwarteng, is considering it as a way of making london a more attractive place for global banks to do business. Our Business Editor simonjack is here. This was introduced in 2014 and it limits Bankers Bonuses to two times the base pay, introduced after the financial crisis, as a way of trying to limit the amount of excessive risk taking which many people thought caused the crisis and what it did to banks is to keep bankers in the manner to which they were accustomed and they actually raised their basic pay so they were basically getting to where they were before, that was bad for banks they thought because it meant that fixed costs go up and they are less able to dial up or dial down pay based on the profits or losses of the company. The banks think is a good idea to be able to marry the profitability of the firm and the actual money they pay out. The removal of actual money they pay out. The removal of the actual money they pay out. The removal of the cap actual money they pay out. The removal of the cap might appeal to them but what is being mooted . The economic them but what is being mooted . Tue economic case them but what is being mooted . Tte economic case as them but what is being mooted . Tte economic case as far them but what is being mooted . Tte economic case as far as the chancellor is concerned is that if you do this, which the banks quite light, they would put more Business Into The Uk and in london in particular and this means more Economic Activity and more growth which they are focused on and ultimately more tax although i have to say the economic case for that is not universally accepted. A lot of people think the amount of tax the Financial Services sector pay has been pretty stable both before the cap and after the cap so not a Slam Dunkin Cap and after the cap so not a slam dunk in terms of the actual Economic Impact but politically it is a real hot potato.

Tt was a eu wide policy that was introduced and when we left the eu these regulations were moved En Masse To The Uk statute books so it is there to be got rid of if people like, and a lot of people say, this could be seen as a brexit victory, it is in the progrowth strategy of the chancellor, you could say this is something we could do which we could not do before, but politically at this particular moment, lifting the lid on a bankers pay when people are struggling with the cost of living, and do those red wall seats that were having Brexit Dividends promised to come up with this top of their list, having bankers pay lifted . I dont think so. Some people say they are flying a kite to see how this goes down and i dont think it will go down well politically because the timing is bad but the government has got the fact it has nailed its colours to the mast but this is very controversial when people are struggling with the cost of living.

Other regulations have arrived to take its place but as i say, for the bankers i speak to, it is not top of their list, they think actually they like having a higher basic pay because it makes their income more stable and they dont have to work so hard to get that bonus at the end of the year. The banks do quite like it though because it allows them to calibrate pay along with success or failure but it will be a hot potato for sure. The unions hated.

A Ukrainian Government advisor says around a thousand dead bodies have been found in the recently liberated city of izyum, which had been under Russian Occupation for months.

At the south the situation is said to be more difficult. There, the top price is the city of kerson. As many as 20,000 Russian Troops are believed to be holding up with limited supplies. Ukrainians hope to do same elsewhere. Much will depend on what this man decides to do. President putin today arrived in uzbekistan for talks with regional leaders. At the top of the agenda, a meeting with president xi of china. For the kremlin, the visit is designed to show that russia is not isolated and the western sanctions havent worked, but with his army and the economy in trouble, the world is waiting to see his next move.

As the nation and people across the world mourn the loss of Queen Elizabeth ii the bbc has set up a webpage where viewers and listeners can share their memories and pay tribute. You can send your tributes, in words, still pictures or video, by email thats yourqueen bbc. Co. Uk or whatsapp on plus 44, 7756 165 803. All of the details are on our website which also has a contact form in the next few days, we should be hearing from our Energy Suppliers about what is happening to our bills in 2 weeks time. Its been a week since the government announced the Energy Price Guarantee which brings down the amount that bills were due to increase by in october. But the vast majority of households will still see an increase in the rate they pay as we move into the autumn. Our Consumer Affairs correspondent Colletta Smith has been finding out what it will mean for your bill. Keeping the lights on is getting more expensive for most of us next month, but many of the parents at this school are facing unimaginable choices. Everybody� s feeling the pinch, everybody� s starting to make decisions that they never thought theyd have to make and theyre difficult decisions, that they dont come anywhere close to the decisions that the most needy have to make and nobody living today, and i think for generations, nobody has made this decision, difficult ones about what they sacrifice, food, energy and clothing, and books for children should definitely not be on the list. The government stepped in last week and reduced the amount the price cap will go up by. This government is moving immediately to introduce a new Energy Price Guarantee that will give people certainty on energy bills. So direct debit customers on a basic default tariff will now be charged 34p per kilowatt hour for electricity, and 10. 3p for gas. But everyones bill will look different. For a typical household its around £2500 a year, which is £1000 more than this time last year. But thats just to give you an idea of what the new prices will look like. If you use more gas and electricity than that, youll be paying more than that. The government are also knocking £400 off everyones bill for the next six months, but octobers price is still a rise and millions of people have already been struggling. On my income its very hard to cope with it. I see how it goes. I got an e mail saying its going up but we dont know how much yet. Its unaffordable now, like. What do you do though, its always going to be like that. This neighbourhood is one of many likely to see a big increase in the number of people unable to afford their bills. Whats happening now is the deepening of your poverty experience. Some people will have been experiencing that for the last ten years, maybe its just got even harderthan it did. These are solid wall houses, they need a bit more money investing than do houses with cavity wall insulation, but its an area where lots of people dont have very much money and where people need that kind of extra support in order to be able to live decent lives, to be well enough to go to school and to go to work. Without extra help targeted at the most vulnerable, its feared millions more families wont be able to afford the bills as the price goes up and the temperature goes down. Colletta smith, bbc news, in leeds. A funeral mass has been taking place today for nine year old olivia pratt korbel, who died after being shot at her home in liverpool nearly a month ago. Pink ties, jackets, scarves and bows were worn by those attending the service after her family asked people to wear a Splash Of Pink. Our correspondent, judith moritz, whos in liverpool, has been giving us the latest. Crowds of people lined the streets year and came out to see olivias coffin as it was brought to the church and following as part of the Funeral Procession was her mother cheryl, still nursing the injury from the night when olivia was killed. She said her daughter was the family mimic, she had a great imagination and would have made a great lawyer, she had an answerfor everything and the archbishop of liverpool also spoke and he linked olivias death to that of the queen, he said that King Charles Iii described his mothers life as one where lived at the same can be said of olivia. One of the more poignant aspects as you could hear the shouts of olivias School Friends in the playground next door next to the church and the head teacher spoke earlier about how the school has been remembering olivia today. The wishes of been remembering olivia today. Tte wishes of the family and church was everyone wore a Splash Of Pink so today in school the children are wearing a Splash Of Pink.

Earlier this week Merseyside Police searched a golf course near here for the guns used in the attack, so far nine men have been arrested in connection with olivias murdered, no charges and yesterday a £50,000 reward was offered which may lead to the conviction of those responsible. Hundreds of people have reported seeing a Shooting Star across the sky over scotland and Northern Ireland. The uk Meteor Network said it began getting reports of the fireball last night. Scientists are using video footage filmed by the public to work out whether the object travelling across the night sky was a meteor or spacejunk and where it came from. It is not yet known if it landed or burnt up in the atmosphere. Now its time for a look at the weather. Therell be plenty more dry and bright weather around for the rest of the day. There is quite a bit of cloud in the skies and it has been thick enough for the odd shower across north west england, parts of wales, across Northern Ireland. But the heaviest, most frequent showers are across northern and Eastern Parts of scotland. Just the odd one in the east and its breezy out there, quite a blustery breeze in the north and east. And the change in Wind Direction to a northerly has made it feel much fresher out and about. And that will continue through the night to the breeze, continuing to blow showers into northern and eastern areas and around the irish sea coast as well. But temperatures will fall lower even further south tonight into single figures with ground frost in the glens of scotland. Its likely well see a bit more sunshine around, though, tomorrow, but with that brisk wind picking up further, it will carry the showers, more showers potentially into Eastern Parts of england, as well as the north east of scotland. So another fresh feeding day, perhaps fewer showers in the west.

They have been on their feet all night, and there are hours left to go before theyll get to Westminster Hall. The queue, several miles long, snakes along the banks of the river thames. Wristbands, thank you. It has been orderly, organised and by all accounts a friendly experience, a coming together of people who want to show their gratitude and respect. Look at all these people, you know, theyre coming for their queen. There are even tourists here, we have met so many nice people, it has been lovely and i would regret, absolutely regret, if i didnt come.

The service is available on the bbc home page, the bbc news website and app, the iplayer, on bbc parliament, and the red button. Well, the queues for Westminster Hall have been quite something. Stretching along Lambeth Bridge and albert embankment. Metropolitan Police Officers, volunteers and stewards are managing the queue. I have seen Police Officers from all around the country, i have seen the Greater Manchester police here, for example. There are many volunteers and stewards, as well. Toilets and water fountains are provided at various points. People have not been complaining as they queue and they feel it has been managed very well. They have wristbands with numbers on them and if they want to leave the queue they can go back to the place they have left and nobody can queue jump or even have the press prospect of doing so. People have been making friends, talking to each other in the hours they had been walking together, and there are groups of friends forming over those hours and it seems like they have been together for much longer but theyve onlyjust met in the last few hours. Our Correspondentjohn Maguire has been talking to some of those who have been queuing. From across the United Kingdom and around the globe, they came, and they waited, and they queued. All for this a fleeting but significant moment, a chance to say goodbye, notjust to a monarch, but to a woman who meant so much to so many. Catherine had flown in from the United States just to be here today. Very emotional. Very poignant, very touching. To see everyone going in and paying their respects. You can just feel the love that everyone has for her. Other journeys werent as far but no less important. She had compassion, empathy, forgiveness and love, and i think that has given more to the world than anything, and if only other leaders could be that way, wouldnt we live in a wonderful place . It was amazing, i wouldnt have missed it. It was worth waiting 11 hours. It really was. I thought to myself i will never see her again so this was the opportunity that i wanted to go and pay my respects. Maureen and her daughter emily made the decision to come this morning and entered via the accessible queue. She got you through your life, didnt she . Yeah. We are here on behalf of the whole family, past and present. Along the two mile queue that straddles both sides of the river thames, there are volunteers on hand to help. Multi faith teams are here to offer support and solace. This morning the archbishop of canterburyjoined them, after playing a leading role in recent days. The idea of coming to see people here today . To see how people are, where theyve come from. Most people are in very good shape. I had a couple of conversations yesterday, where the process had renewed their sense of grief over their own losses. I have heard that a lot. And particularly coming out, chaplains have found that. Leading politicians will have been in Westminster Hall many times, but never before to pay their respects to their monarch. By day and by night, they will continue to come over the next few days, compelled by their own reasons, with their own stories, but with one thing in common the desire to say thank you and to say goodbye. John maguire, bbc news, westminster. Once they have got through the long queue this is what awaits them. This is inside Westminster Hall as they file through. People have been coming out and talking about their experience. They file through past the wood which is on a raised platform and it is draped in the Royal Standard with the orb and sceptre placed on top and the imperial state crown. It has a diamond cut from the largest diamond in the world and that is all beneath the spectacular 11th century calls, the spectacular 11th century calls, the timber roof hall.

As weve seen, the prince and princess of Wales William and catherine have been in sandringham in norfolk today to see the tributes left there for the queen. The Royal Residence was packed with family memories for her majesty and it gave her the chance to indulge her love of Simple Pleasures like walking the dogs, or taking tea with the Womens Institute. Jo black went to find out more. While much of the focus has been in scotland and london, here in norfolk, on the sandringham estate, is a growing blanket of flowers a declaration of peoples affection, admiration and appreciation for the late monarch. Where is the queen . Asks three year old matilda. Shes up in the clouds, shes told by her mum, charlotte. She has gone, yeah. The queen was very important, wasnt she . She played a big part in everybody� s lives, didnt she . But now, where is the queen now . At. Up in the sky. In heaven, yeah. In the sky. Shes gone. Shes gone to rest. Its very emotional and its really, really. A proper place to be on a day| like this, and a time like this. Theyre going to learn about this at school. So, you know, we can tell them we brought flowers and, you know, say that theyve been and laid flowers for the queen. The late queen was able, when she was at sandringham, to drive around the estate, to be very much the lady with the head scarf on, and the tartan skirt, and to go and see her foals being born, to walk her dogs around and, indeed, to go to the wi, into her local shop. | archive The Royal Family set off| from sandringham house to inspect the splendid crops being harvested on the kings estate in norfolk. This part of norfolk and its surrounding areas held a particular place in the queens affections. Herfather, king george vi, loved it here. This footage from 1943 shows him and the then princess elizabeth on a Family Bike Ride to inspect the harvest. Like balmoral, the private residence at sandringham allowed the monarch time to relax. She and her family spent christmas here, and injanuary, as president , she would attend the wi meeting. Shed sign the minutes, read annual reports, and one year even went to a very dark village hall on the day of a power cut. These meetings gave the queen a couple of hours to chat with fellow members and enjoy some light refreshments. She would pour the tea for them and offer them the cakes. Wed just all chat amongst ourselves, and then, a little while later, the chair would sort of go back a little bit and the handbag would come up, and the lipstick would come out. And that was the cue to the lady in waiting we were getting ready to move. And that, really, in a nutshell, is a meeting. Its magical. I mean, however many times you do it, its still like doing the first one. Its very odd and very. Its like a miracle, really. Since the queens death, the pupils at sandringham and west Newton Primary School have been reflecting on their memories of meeting her and other members of The Royal Family, often at the estates churches or events like the annual flower show. Im very pleased that i did get to meet her, and i feel proud that i actually got the chance because a lot of people dont get the chance to meet someone from The Royal Family. Well, she gave us all a bit of a wave and shes really kind and gentle. And she asked how the school was getting on. And i think i responded that it was getting on really nice and i was really enjoying it. Youve met the future king and thats obviously quite a thing, isnt it . Mm. How are you feeling knowing youve already met him . I feel happy, and i feel, like, proud a bit. Since Queen Elizabeths death was announced, around 100,000 people have travelled here to pay their respects, to bid farewell and say thank you. For many people here, she was a neighbour the sovereign, who loved this part of norfolk. Jo black, bbc news, on the sandringham estate. From another part of the uk to the impact of the loss of the queen on other parts of the world. Canadian mps have returned to hold an extraordinary session of parliament to commemorate the queen.

Justin trudeau has already been speaking and he has talked about how much the queen has meant to canada and he said it wasnt a surprise that she passed away because of her age but her absence was being felt in so many ways because she was on canadian coins and her portraits were and people have listened to her speeches at christmas and he also injected a personal note saying he had met herfrom injected a personal note saying he had met her from when injected a personal note saying he had met herfrom when he injected a personal note saying he had met her from when he was a little boy in 1977 when his father was Prime Minister and that he had very much enjoyed his encounters with her and that she had given him good advice and he appreciated her sense of humour which is one thing that made her one of his favourite people in the world. And he noted that canadians had basically grown up that canadians had basically grown up alongside her and that the first time she had appeared in an official rate in canada was on a postage stamp when she was nine and then one of the last things she did was to send her condolences and regrets about a deadly knife attack in saskatchewan which happened shortly before she died. He has been giving an effusive tribute to the queen and we will hear from the other leaders of the parties in parliament.

Opinion polls have consistently shown a very Strong Majority of people who thought very highly of her and the last poll was taken just a few months ago and it reflected that once again. She visited the country 22 times and she went to the different provinces and she was very familiar with the country and she was here at the centennial, the olympics, the repatriation of the constitution, so she was quite a fixture in the lives of most canadians, she was the only monarch they have known, but polls also show a declining support for the monarchy itself and a majority so it doesnt really feel relevant any more. Having said that, there have been no protests against it are no organised movement to end the monarchy now that she has passed away. It looks as though that will continue for the time being, although again i have to say, polling shows her successor king charles is not very popular in canada so that may have an impact Going Forward.

Their duty to hold vigil at all four corners of the queens coffin. Guarded in that continual vigilfrom units that coffin. Guarded in that continual vigil from units that serve the Royal Household. So that is quite something for all the people here to witness. People in those queues for hours and hours outside westminster, along the thames and then back east along the thames and then back east along the thames and then back east along the south bank. You have commented on this, just how quiet london is, even amongst these incredible queues, the number of people, and yet the respect and the silence isjust people, and yet the respect and the silence is just palpable.

And so many police and other people and security forces, army, and their vehicles, bus loads of police arriving. But it is so quiet. People are chatting and they are in very good moods in the queue, although they are emotional, but there is a sombre atmosphere but it is a very respectful one as well. It is a very patient one. Nobody is complaining. Not a single word of complaint about the hours and hours of waiting and walking and how peoples feet must hurt. There are people in there with toddlers and there was a man pushing a pram with a three year old and he had his five year old son by his side and they had done five, six hours in the queue and the children were not even complaining.

A lot of Different Things there from welfare requirements to getting people ready to go through security. One of the things that as People Get Ready to go through, they need to do is to make sure they dont have any liquids and food in their bags. We have been collecting up lots of liquids and foods and actually because there has been so much food collected, and open packets of snacks, this morning we made an arrangement with one of the local food banks and got in touch with the project to make sure that all of that unopened food does not go to waste. Our morning shift collected over a0 bags of food this morning so were really proud to be helping others the community. What were really proud to be helping others the community. Others the community.

They arrived in london on tuesday morning, monday night, so they could do training and preparation. And then we have had them on shift from seven oclock yesterday morning. In groups of a0.

It is a good question. There is part of this, we all promise as members of this, we all promise as members of the scouts to do our duty to the queen and now the king and to help other people so it is just part of what we do. But of course we want to recognise all of those who have gone above and beyond at this really important and special time for the country so i dont want to give too much away but we are working on a number of Different Things to make sure that all those who have been involved in london but also at local events which have been organised by the lord lieutenant which have also had scouts involved across the uk, that we are able to recognise everyone who has played a part in this important time.

Cj ledger, deputy uk chief commissioner of the scouts, Thanks Forjoining us. Good luck to all of them. And keeping all those uniforms neat and tidy is no mean feat a Ukrainian Government advisor says around a thousand dead bodies have been found in the recently liberated city of izyum, which had been under Russian Occupation for months. The number of dead in izyum has not been officially announced or independently verified. The city has been heavily damaged by shelling. From kyiv, hugo bachega sent this report. This is what the russians left behind in izyum, a key city now back in ukrainian hands. Almost nothing remains untouched by the war. These are the visible scars. What lies beneath, its still not clear. Bodies are being found and allegations of torture are emerging. The horrors of life under occupation. Translation we were | staying in the basements without food and water. Russia was providing humanitarian help and initially i refused to take it. To be honest i didnt want to take anything from russia, but we had nothing to eat, we had to survive. Ukraine is pressing ahead. It says all invaded territory will be taken back. It knows it wont be easy but it feels its got the momentum. Here, a show of defiance, a visit by president zelensky with the front line just miles away. His message was as clear as ever. We see that russia has destroyed, but the main thing we are coming but russia is fighting back. Perhaps its no coincidence that this time they attacked the president s hometown. A dam was hit and residents had to evacuate. Ukraines advance in kharkiv has been stunning. Officials say an area larger than devon was recaptured in just a few days. But what happens next . In the south, the situation is said to be more difficult. There, the top price is the city of kherson. As many as 20,000 Russian Troops are believed to be holding up with limited supplies. After pushing the russians out of the northeast, ukrainians hope to do same elsewhere. Much will depend on what this man decides to do. President putin today arrived in uzbekistan for talks with regional leaders. At the top of the agenda, a meeting with president xi of china. For the kremlin, the visit is designed to show that russia isnt isolated and the western sanctions havent worked, but with his army and the economy in trouble, the world is waiting to see his next move. Hugo bachega, bbc news, kyiv. Sport and for a full round up, from the bbc sport centre, good afternoon.

Ill be back in an hour with another update. Lets now reflect on one of the queens passions horses. The queens racing stables turned out some 1700 winners and she only missed two epsom derbies in her entire reign.

The pandemic bit into our last months of our existence but what an advantage i had over everybody in the world when i was working with horses for her majesty.

If you look behind me that is a log ronald | look behind me that is a log Ronald Reagan cut for me and he and the queen through the 805 were riding horses along the river and Ronald Reagan had horses in training with me here in california at the time and he was quite a fan of it all. But i became a fan of his coming to england and riding with the queen and Ronald Reagan could ride well. I was a cowboy but also showjumping and hunting so i had a broad base of horsemanship and it made mejealous that Ronald Reagan was getting to ride with the queen along the river and then we had an open house here and then we had an open house here and we did a thing for the trainers of california but two journalists wrote articles about this open house and one from florida and california ended up on the desk of the queen and she led them and it was crazy because i was causing horses to accept their first saddle and ride at any less than 30 minutes and that cannot be done, it takes four weeks but the queen gave these to her horse managerjohn miller and said read these articles and let me know what you think and he came back and threw them down and said it is hogwash, a fake and she said really,. The queen had ridden horses throughout world war ii and Windsor Castle and she had an idea that i was right about taking the violence out of training horses so she said go to california and watch this and give me a call and say whether it is worthwhile to bring this guy over here to Windsor Castle. John miller came here to see a phony set of training but he saw a real set of training but he saw a real set of training and he went so far as to say let me pick a horse from your group and have you do it and i did that and he said what are you doing injune1989, april, and i said what you want me to do and he said i think the queen will want to see this. So we received an invitation from Buckingham Palace to go to Windsor Castle in april 1989 and the queen got 23 horses and front of her bedroom and the kept me 20 miles away so i could not go near them to make it phony but those 23 horses were done in five days except the first saddle and ride up and the stories abound about how people told her that has a fake and she kept pushing, god works in funny ways to bring me Ronald Reagan and then the queen and because of Ronald Reagan and one of the first things the queen asked me to do was go for a ride with her along the river by Windsor Castle and i knew she had already written this path with Ronald Reagan so we had a lot to talk about with the horses we were riding and the corgis running around us, it was incredible. We rode by one of the big gates leading into Windsor Castle and there was an elderly lady with her arms through the bars on the gates saying you who, lady, lady and i am riding beside the queen and she said do you work here and the queen stopped a horse and turned and said i certainly do. And then rode off. And i said your majesty that poor lady will never know she spoke with the queen of england. She said i cannot talk to everybody so come on and we had horses to do and then it was the solid week of working with horses, 23 of them and then the queen set up 30 days for pat and i to go in her carup and 30 days for pat and i to go in her car up and down england, scotland, wales the isle of man and Northern Ireland with 98 horses to do and 21 stops along the way and im meeting afterwards and in that meeting it represents the first time we got into being friends with one another and investigating things that would help us.

That came to me in 2012 but the things that happened before that were just off the charts, she said that has to be a book, it was on the New York Times bestseller list, she said you have to go to other countries and take this to the world and i took a 2a1 countries. Without a failure of any horse and ai without a failure of any horse and a1 countries and probably in the range of 3000 horses. The luck i have had after meeting the queen is just off the charts and the loss of the queen is a deep sorrow for me but at the same time none of us have beaten this thing called life and they are telling me to let her go and i am not going to let her go, i will continue to do as long as i can things her majesty wanted me to do. She loved animals, corgis and horses and we sat at lunch in the gardens of Windsor Castle and the budgies were released, i did not know what they were about the pretty little birds and she loved to have them flying around in the garden and a student of mine had gone to work for her majesty and said that she released the budgies again, they are all over london and we have to try and catch them and put them back. She loved her animals down to the fact she even loved her budgies. The office will have some wonderful memories. I have seen horse whispering in oxford science so i know it is not hogwash. Thank you for talking to us. Could have talked all day. The treasury is considering removing a cap on Bankers Bonuses as part of a post brexit shake up of city rules. The bbc has been told that no final decisions have been made, but that chancellor Kwasi Kwarteng is considering it as a way of making london a more attractive place for global banks to do business. Well a lttle earlier i spoke to our Business Editor simonjack about the cap could mean. This was introduced in 201a and it limits Bankers Bonuses to two times the base pay, introduced after the financial crisis, as a way of trying to limit the amount of excessive risk taking which many people thought caused the crisis and what it did to banks is to keep bankers in the manner to which they were accustomed and they actually raised their basic pay so they were basically getting to where they were before, that was bad for banks they thought because it meant that fixed costs go up and they are less able to dial up or dial down pay based on the profits or losses of the company. The banks think is a good idea to be able to marry the profitability of the firm and the actual money they pay out. The removal of the cap might appeal to them but what is being mooted . The economic case as far as the chancellor is concerned is that if you do this, which the banks quite like, they would put more Business Into The Uk and in london in particular and this means more Economic Activity and more growth which they are focused on and ultimately more tax although i have to say the economic case for thatis not universally accepted. A lot of people think the amount of tax the Financial Services sector pay has been pretty stable both before the cap and after the cap so not a slam dunk in terms of the actual Economic Impact but politically it is a real hot potato. What is the connection to it being in a post brexit era . It was a eu wide policy that was introduced and when we left the eu these regulations were moved En Masse To The Uk statute books so it is there to be got rid of if people like, and a lot of people say, this could be seen as a brexit victory, it is in the progrowth strategy of the chancellor, you could say this is something we could do which we could not do before, but politically at this particular moment, lifting the lid on a bankers pay when people are struggling with the cost of living, and do those red wall seats that were having Brexit Dividends promised to come up with this top of their list, having bankers pay lifted . I dont think so. Some people say they are flying a kite to see how this goes down and i dont think it will go down well politically because the timing is bad but the government has got the fact it has nailed its colours to the mast but this is very controversial when people are struggling with the cost of living. More risk as well . They say after the financial crisis other regulations came into limit risks, for example, senior people at these banks can be held personally and potentially criminally responsible for any misconduct and that would be a disincentive to that. Other regulations have arrived to take its place but as i say, for the bankers i speak to, it is not top of their list, they think actually they like having a higher basic pay because it makes their income more stable and they dont have to work so hard to get that bonus at the end of the year. The banks do quite like it though because it allows them to calibrate pay along with success or failure but it will be a hot potato for sure. The unions hate it. A lot of people say it is an insult to other workers. Simon, Thanks Forjoining us. Now well speak to luke hildyard, the director at the think tank, high pay centre. What is good about the idea of removing this bonus cap . The what is good about the idea of removing this bonus cap . The idea as simon ust removing this bonus cap . The idea as simon just said removing this bonus cap . The idea as simon just said it removing this bonus cap . The idea as simon just said it will removing this bonus cap . The idea as simon just said it will make removing this bonus cap . The idea as simon just said it will make things i simon just said it will make things easierfor banks to simon just said it will make things easier for banks to increase pay as profits increase and reduce it if the decrease so from that perspective it is good for their business model. The disadvantage is it is not really a cap on pay, it is a cap on risk so they can still pay their staff as much as they like, they just cannot give their staff as much as they like, theyjust cannot give them a bonus any bigger than double their annual salary. Priorto any bigger than double their annual salary. Prior to the introduction of the cap typical bonuses for a top banker when about five times the salary according to data from the European Banking Authority and around that time you are seeing the financial crisis, manipulation, Foreign Currency Exchange manipulation, big scandals and the Banking Industry that possibly came at least in part from people throwing that ethics out the window in pursuit of hitting a target that was going to lead to a mega bonus so i think that will be the real concern people have with lifting the cap. We have not actually seen any scandal on quite those scales since the cap came in in 201a. Scandal on quite those scales since the cap came in in 2014. The cap came in in 2014. There are other measures the cap came in in 2014. There are other measures in the cap came in in 2014. There are other measures in place the cap came in in 2014. There are other measures in place which the cap came in in 2014. There are l other measures in place which might limit the risk taking we have seen in the past. In limit the risktaking we have seen in the past in the past. In practice things like clawback and in the past. In practice things like clawback and personal in the past. In practice things like clawback and personal liability i in the past. In practice things like i clawback and personal liability are claw back and personal liability are difficult to apply, there are very few people who have ended up injail over the financial crisis and the things like manipulation of foreign currency so i would be quite sceptical as to whether they can actually compensate for the disincentive to excess risk we would be losing if we lost the cap. Be losing if we lost the cap. Thank ou. Queen elizabeth the second was not only one of the most photographed and filmed women in the world she was also portrayed on stage and screen by many different actors, including some of our most celebrated talents. Our arts correspondent Rebecca Jones has been through the archives to hear how some of them tackled the role. The many faces of the monarch as portrayed on screen. But for each one of the actresses who have played elizabeth ii, the challenge has been the same capturing the spirit of a woman famous for giving so little away. Dame helen mirren won an oscar for her role as elizabeth ii in the queen. I watched the documentaries that the rest of us had watched. But i watched them in a particular kind of way, seeing little moments. Theres a wonderful moment, i was just watching it recently she is at balmoral, she is presenting an award and, obviously, one of the caber tossers has just said something that really makes her laugh. And she just does this wonderful gesture. She rocks right back on her heels right back, brings her arms forward enjoying the moment kind of way. And itsjust little moments like that you see, ah the clues are in the gestures and the voice, too. Clare foy played the younger elizabeth in the first two series of the crown. Its not as easy as it looks. Thats exactly what the king said. The broadcasts she did i and the speeches she did at the time, her voice was very, very high. I very high. I am proud to have inspected you today in this, the year of my coronation. And i think it would have been too much to go in that direction, because we never wanted it to be a caricature or a kind of impression. Just remember who you are standing in for when im gone. My characterless sister. Your queen. The role of the queen in the crown passed to olivia colman. And faith and truth i will bear unto thee. For her, interpreting elizabeth iis inscrutability meant a lot of guesswork. Hertraining, isuppose, means she has to be stoic and strong. She is a rock for the nation, so you never see, really, what shes thinking. But it is eternally fascinating. Yes, yes. Many actresses may have portrayed elizabeth ii on film and television, but the starring role in the life of the nation was always played by the queen herself. Rebecca jones, bbc news. As the nation and people across the world mourn the loss of Queen Elizabeth ii the bbc has set up a webpage where viewers and listeners can share their memories and pay tribute. You can send your tributes, in words, still pictures or video, by email thats yourqueen bbc. Co. Uk or whatsapp on plus aa, 7756 165 803. All of the details are on our website which also has a contact form now its time for a look at the weather. It feels a little fresher out and about today and the reason is the change in Wind Direction. We are now pulling the wind down from the north, behind various weather systems, bringing showers, and the northerly wind introduces arctic air across the uk, which means it will be our first significant chilly snap of the autumn. Quite a windy spell as well. The winds quite blustery in the north and east, pulling in lots of showers for scotland, one or two in the east, the odd one further west coming down the cheshire planes into the north west midlands. But you can see temperatures on a par with yesterday in the north, but notably lower further south. Worth bearing in mind if you are coming to london because it will feel quite chilly around the buildings, particularly with the blustery wind. There could be a shower, the outside chance of a shower tomorrow, but it is largely fine and dry. Through the evenings and into the night time period, that is when we will really notice the chill. Frost is in the forecast for the north over the coming few nights. The wider picture is one of showers continuing through the night and temperatures falling lower. But the wind will be a bit stronger, strengthening through the course of this night. Therefore, fewer mist and fog problems but a touch of grass frost in the glens of scotland, even further south, temperatures into single figures. So it looks as though friday will see a bit more sunshine but probably a few more showers getting into Eastern Parts of england, and a stronger wind, quite blustery. As the day goes on it will start to ease further west, so although there will be the chance of a few showers in the west, probably fewer than today, and the wind starts to ease a little as High Pressure builds. Again tomorrow mid to high teens temperatures for most of us, a little below where they should be for this time of year. Through the weekend, we get this little Weather Front, a weak Weather Front as it comes into High Pressure. But we still keep High Pressure around so still quite a lot of dry and settled clear weather, friday night into saturday. Thats when we could have A Touch Of Frost even further south in rural spots, but itll be very isolated. It means quite a bright start before we get more cloud introduced on our Weather Front across scotland. Perhaps some heavier rain here for a time but as it meanders south during saturday and sunday it will tend to peter out. A lot of dry weather around during saturday and sunday and, as ever, we will keep you updated.

If you have never had the good fortune to be in london and visit it, it is an extraordinary building, a giant building with arches above you, stone around you, six foot thick stone walls, first erected back in the year 1097. So for almost 1000 years, the building into which these people are queueing to enter and pay their respects has been at the heart of public life. This is the entrance where they go in. You can see under the canopies there which provide some protection along the side of the Palace Of Westminster. Normal Parliamentary Business has been suspended, and of course, the british system is based on the queen in parliament, or as it now is, the king and parliament. Westminster hall began its life as a banqueting hall, a place to have grand meals for which the king, then william the conqueror� s son, who commissioned it, would invite nobles and International Guests to come and see how impressive it was. Now, though, are much more subdued occasion, one with precedent over the last 100 years, in which monarchs, when they die, are brought to light in state for family, friends, foreign dignitaries, politicians, and nowadays, members of the public too to pay their respects.

Her coffin is guarded at all hours by units from the sovereigns bodyguard, the Household Division or Yeoman Warders of the Tower Of London. They are all in position, all in silence. Standing erect, many of them heads bowed. Our correspondent Caroline Hawley has more. Its a week since the country learned of Queen Elizabeths death, a week of National Public mourning and of private grief, and right now, thousands upon thousands of people wait patiently to pay their last respects. They have been on their feet all night, and there are hours left to go before theyll get to Westminster Hall. The queue, several miles long, snakes along the banks of the river thames. Wristbands, thank you. It has been orderly, organised and by all accounts a friendly experience, a coming together of people who want to show their gratitude and respect. Look at all these people, you know, theyre coming for their queen. There are even tourists here, we have met so many nice people, it has been lovely and i would regret, absolutely regret, if i didnt come. Today is the first full day of the queen Lying In State before her funeral on monday. Last night, emily and her two sons arrived in london from birmingham. Do you remember where the end of the queue is . It is london bridge. Lets go and catch the tube. Yes. Joining people from all corners of the country, and all ages. No bedtime, no school today. For them, being here was much too important to miss. We have just come out of seeing her majesty. It was absolutely amazing. Awesome. Thoroughly worth the six hour wait that we had. In the middle of last night, out of public view, the military was busy rehearsing for its role in this historic moment. Preparations for the queens death have been years, decades in the making, meticulous plans, now being meticulously practised and finessed. 1a2 sailors from the royal navy will draw the state gun carriage, used for Queen Victorias funeral. It will take the queens coffin to Westminster Abbey on monday. Pallbearers even practised their final duty to their former commander in chief, carrying an empty black coffin. At 10 aa, the queens coffin will be taken from Westminster Hall to Westminster Abbey, a solemn journey of eight minutes. It was here that she was crowned back in 1953.

The route of the procession goes past Buckingham Palace and on to wellington arch, where her coffin will be transferred into the state hearse. The late monarch will be driven by road to Windsor Castle, for a more intimate service at st georges chapel attended by members of The Royal Family and staff who served her throughout her reign.

At sandringham in norfolk, the prince and princess of wales came to greet well wishers and to look at the many floral tributes left to the queen. Inside Westminster Hall, for these members of the public, the long wait to say goodbye was over, everyone here with their own feelings, memories, emotions. As the country prepares, with pomp and pageantry, to bid its final farewell to britains longest ever reigning monarch. Caroline hawley, bbc news. Well, the queues for Westminster Hall have been stretching along Lambeth Bridge and albert embankment. Metropolitan Police Officers, volunteers and stewards are managing the queue. They are all along the route when people have questions, need assistance, orjust need to know how much longer it is before they are going to get there to see the queens coffin. There are also toilets and water fountains provided at various points. This plan has been, of course, in existence, really, for decades now, what would happen, and certainly in the last few years, it has been constantly refined to try and ensure that it could swing into operation very quickly indeed. People are very patient, of course, in circumstances like this, and it is a very good atmosphere, a very positive atmosphere, a very positive atmosphere by all accounts of those who have been in the queue when those reporting on it. People are here for a very positive reason. Theyve made a choice to come, and because theyve made that choice, many of them are prepared to put up with what are not ideal conditions, inevitably. Long waits, particularly forthose inevitably. Long waits, particularly for those who have a need for extra support. If we go to the other side of the river, we can see that people are actually south of the river and snaking their way slowly across. You can see in that shot, both sides. A beautiful shot our colleagues have provided, and it gives you a sense of the fact that this is a very, very long wait, and people are very patient. They have been patient before, with the queens father george vi lay in state back in 1952. 350,000 people are thought to have queued during the course of those days and nights to pay their respects, in the days, of course, when people even dressed up for the occasion. Very few of those in those days would have been dressed casually. They would have been in heavy coats in dark colours, women in hats. Times have changed. There is nothing disrespectful at all about coming however you want to come, because the point you are making is one of affection, appreciation, and a symbol of that long standing connection between Queen Elizabeth and the people of this country, and people who knew her from around the world. It is actually quite nice to see that people have come bat some of them are obviously coming straight from work, many people have come. Other people have travelled to london, and are joining a people have travelled to london, and arejoining a queue knowing they will have to be very, very patient indeed, for what is after all a moment. Really i suppose a moment for all of us in history. Most of us have never seen her like before, and there is a good chance we never will again. Our Correspondentjohn Maguire has been talking to those who have been queuing. From across the United Kingdom and around the globe, they came, and they waited, and they queued. All for this a fleeting but significant moment, a chance to say goodbye, notjust to a monarch, but to a woman who meant so much to so many. Catherine had flown in from the United States just to be here today. Very emotional. Very poignant, very touching. To see everyone going in and paying their respects. You can just feel the love that everyone has for her. Other journeys werent as far but no less important. She had compassion, empathy, forgiveness and love, and i think that has given more to the world than anything, and if only other leaders could be that way, wouldnt we live in a wonderful place . It was amazing, i wouldnt have missed it. It was worth waiting 11 hours. It really was. I thought to myself i will never see her again so this was the opportunity that i wanted to go and pay my respects. Maureen and her daughter emily made the decision to come this morning and entered via the accessible queue. She got you through your life, didnt she . Yeah. We are here on behalf of the whole family, past and present. Along the two mile queue that straddles both sides of the river thames, there are volunteers on hand to help. Multi faith teams are here to offer support and solace. This morning the archbishop of canterburyjoined them, after playing a leading role in recent days. The idea of coming to see people here today . To see how people are, where theyve come from. Most people are in very good shape. I had a couple of conversations yesterday, where the process had renewed their sense of grief over their own losses. I have heard that a lot. And particularly coming out, chaplains have found that. Leading politicians will have been in Westminster Hall many times, but never before to pay their respects to their monarch. By day and by night, they will continue to come over the next few days, compelled by their own reasons, with their own stories, but with one thing in common the desire to say thank you and to say goodbye.

We will get our places back, but we have still at least another mile left to go. Hopefully it will not be much longer, and we are estimating we should be in victoria tower around 7pm, so about three or four more hours of walking left. Victoria tower gardens. Yes, one day for the walking shoes, isnt it . And may be one of those metres that measures how many steps you have taken. Thank you very much, chi chi. We can talk a little bit and show you some shots notjust behind us but a little bit of victoria tower in vision. And on the other side, you can see the queue along the embankment. Quite substantial, quite a relaxed atmosphere. People are being corralled, but they are moving quite fast. I think it is fair to say with the way the different guide ropes have been positioned, you cant go too far wrong. There are people to make sure you dont go too far wrong. So it is not a heavy handed police or security presence by any means. It is very low key. And dont they say one thing the british are very good at is curing . We have talked over the last few days, not least we were talking. It seems like a lifetime ago now, doesnt it . Eight days ago about the queens change of Prime Ministers at the end of last week when she met borisjohnson as he surrendered the seals of office on the tuesday and then later the same day at balmoral, liz truss, the 15th Prime Minister to be appointed by the queen, to be invited to form a government under the british constitutional system. They are the queens ministers, and this is the Prime Minister, the queens most senior adviser, really. The queen still has that constitutional role of appointing an individual, or inviting them to form a government. She has had 15 Prime Ministers in the uk. She has had goodness knows how many in the various nations that now or in the past have been under the british crown, but almost none of them, i think, have the kind of memories thatjustin trudeau of canada had, because he is not only the current Prime Minister of his country, but the son of a former Prime Minister, pierre trudeau, and so he knew the queen as a boy and gives the impression of someone who has long memories. He says canada continues to mourn the queen, but looks forward to the reign of King Charles Iii. Our reporter comes from ottawa, where they have suspended proceedings to pay tribute to the queen. They have come back from their summer recess to pay tribute to the queen, and every party leader will be giving a speech, followed by any members of parliament who would like to talk or stop the Prime Minister, justin trudeau, has already been speaking. He has talked about how much the queen has meant to canada. He said it wasnt a surprise that she passed away because of her age, but actually, her absence was being felt in so many ways, because she was on canadian coins, her portraits were up, people had listened to her speeches at christmas. He also injected a personal note, saying he had met herfrom injected a personal note, saying he had met her from when injected a personal note, saying he had met herfrom when he injected a personal note, saying he had met her from when he was a boy in 1977 when his father was Prime Minister, and that he had very much enjoyed his encounters with her. She had given him good advice, he really appreciated his sense of humour, which is one thing that made her one of his favourite people in the world. And he noted that canadians, many of them, had basically grown up alongside her. The first time she appeared in an official weigh in canada was on a postage stamp when she was nine years old, and then one of the last thing she did in an official capacity was sent her condolences and regrets about a deadly knife attack in saskatchewan which happen very shortly before she died. So he has been giving an effusive tribute to the queen, and we have been hearing from the other leaders of the parties in parliament, the conservative and National Democratic and bloc quebecois leaders, as well as others after that. Barbara platt usher outside the parliament in ottawa in canada. Lets take another look outside, just by the entrance. There has been a much heightened security presence around the Palace Of Westminster for maybe the last 30 years, but in the last decade or so we have had much heavier additional security, barriers to stop the risk of car bombs being driven into the building, individual Security Checks, because of course, people can visit the Palace Of Westminster when it is not actually sitting, and others go to visit their mps or invited as a guest by an mp or a member of the house of lords. But the security aspect is quite interesting, because part of the history of Westminster Hall is actually, would you believe, as a law court, and it is all to do with magna carta. When king john was reluctantly forced to sign magna carta back in the 1300s, one of the conditions was that there had to be a permanent place where judges sat. The courts could notjust be called when the king wanted them, and then not be there when the king didnt, otherwise, how could people go and plead their case, or indeed plead a case against the king, shock horror . because, it was, of course, the kingsjustice. So there horror . because, it was, of course, the kings justice. So there was a permanent location, and just inside the building where we are now, i think they are in the process of changing the soldiers who are standing guard, so that is why i think we saw the step down, and that process obviously has to be done regularly and it is done with great discipline and ceremony. We can see two members of the present government, the secretary of state for scotland, allisterjack, and the defence secretary ben wallace, who are there as mps are entitled to, or members of the house of lords, to actuallyjump ahead of the queue, because this is their workplace, and to go and pay their respects. And that link between court and politics is very central to the history of this building. As a court of justice, it was also the place where, in 1606, guy forks was condemned to death of plotting to blow up parliament. Guy fawkes. And then extraordinary to think, such a short span later, extraordinary in the history of this country, charles the first was tried and condemned to death inside that hall, where the woman who wore the crown of state, his modern day successor, for 70 years, now lies in state. The history of this country and so many ways is contained in that one building, the battles between people and politics, between crown and the ordinary folk of this nation. And a reminder that the bbc is offering a continuous, 24 hour view of the queens Lying In State, for those who want to pay their respects, but cant make it to london or cant queue. The service is available on the bbc home page, the bbc news website and app, the iplayer, on bbc parliament, and the red button. It is all very complicated, but you will find there are lots of signposts to it, in whatever technology you use, whether you are at home with a television or you are actually using a phone or some other device to watch us and be with us here, and it is very good to have you with us here, because it is a very thoughtful and reflective time for people in this country, regardless of their views on the monarchy, and it is comforting to know that people in the uk and around the world have us in their thoughts too. Thats all for now from westminster. I will hand you back to the studio. Many thanks. More from sean in westminster later in the afternoon. A Ukrainian Government advisor says around a thousand dead bodies have been found in the recently liberated city of izyum, which had been under Russian Occupation for months. The number of dead in izyum has not been officially announced or independently verified. The city has been heavily damaged by shelling. From kyiv, hugo bachega sent this report. This is what the russians left behind in izyum, a key city now back in ukrainian hands. Almost nothing remains untouched by the war. These are the visible scars. What lies beneath, its still not clear. Bodies are being found and allegations of torture are emerging. The horrors of life under occupation. Translation we were | staying in the basements without food and water. Russia was providing humanitarian help and initially i refused to take it. To be honest i didnt want to take anything from russia, but we had nothing to eat, we had to survive. Ukraine is pressing ahead. It says all invaded territory will be taken back. It knows it wont be easy, but it feels its got the momentum. Here, a show of defiance a visit by president zelensky with the front line just miles away. His message was as clear as ever. But russia is fighting back. Perhaps its no coincidence that this time they attacked the president s hometown. A dam was hit and residents had to evacuate. Ukraines advance in kharkiv has been stunning. Officials say an area larger than devon was recaptured in just a few days. But what happens next . In the south, the situation is said to be more difficult. There, the top prize is the city of kherson. As many as 20,000 Russian Troops are believed to be holding up with limited supplies. After pushing the russians out of the northeast, ukrainians hope to do same elsewhere. Much will depend on what this man decides to do. President putin today arrived in uzbekistan for talks with regional leaders. At the top of the agenda, a meeting with president xi of china. For the kremlin, the visit is designed to show that russia isnt isolated and the western sanctions havent worked, but with his army and the economy in trouble, the world is waiting to see his next move. Hugo bachega, bbc news, kyiv. Sport and for a full round up, from the bbc good afternoon.

That is a way through the technology but most have been here in this queue on these days end of this occasion for many of them a lifetime experience, a lot of memories to share when they get home.

Most of us are seeing this for the first time, it has been 70 years since the death of a monarch and all the accompanying ceremonial and we have seen things for the First Time Ever such as charles iiis Accession Council which has never been televised.

In the past it would not have been on the scale. I think probably the closest comparison is the queen mother into thousand and two, 200,000 people queued to see her coffin in Westminster Hall but prior to that it was not anything like those numbers and for centuries monarchs have been Lying In State after death but not in Westminster Hall and not with the same degree of ceremony and certainly not with the huge snaking queues of people and it speaks volumes about the esteem in which the late is the second is held, she did her duty and people want to say thank you.

It feels like history in the making. It is fascinating to watch as each person approaches the coffin in Westminster Hall and you watch the reaction of the person who is right there in front and behind as they are anticipating their turn. It is something very special and this goes back centuries, the idea that a monarch is almost divine, they have this mystical aura and sold as anything they touch and certainly so does a royal coffin, this strange effect on people whether a not you believe in that kind of thing, it is just a striking and i think as well when resort and the procession yesterday the imperial state crown on top of the coffin glittering in the sunshine and you could tell people could not take their eyes are from that from the coffin but you are correct, looking at the reaction of the people there they finally reach the front of the q and it says it all that it was more than worth the wait. All the detail you are taking and as a historian on a solemn occasion, a fascinating one in terms of constitutional history. I am literally writing about it because im having to add a chapter to my book because it is too significant, by far the most important landmark in the history of the monarchy in recent times and when icy the past couple of centuries so i am looking at it with a historian i but also for me personally the way i react is not what i was expecting, it is affecting me quite deeply as a person setting that aside as a historian i am finding it out gripping.

Absolutely there was a lot of emotion and i think there are people who did not expect to be affected by it who have been in that lots of different ways. There was a lot of emotion people walking through Westminster Hall, curtsy and bowing and blowing kisses and when you come out the other side and you get onto Parliament Square it was more uplifting, people were chatting and asking very had come from and how long you had been nvq and they wanted to share the experience so all of it was very emotional.

I think people forget that really quite overwhelming. I think people forget that as really quite overwhelming. I think people forget that as a really quite overwhelming. I think people forget that as a Public People forget that as a public building, you can go and, you do not have to have an invite and fill in a form and ask to see your mp. The chances of you being able to see an mp a few just chances of you being able to see an mp a fewjust pop in for the day is relatively slim because of the schedule but it is a public building and there are tours and font many people have not met the queen, people have not met the queen, people do not realise it is a public building and this is a chance to open up the building. It is a stunning place to work, the heating doesnt always work and there are mice everywhere and it you would not create something in that way again but i and my colleagues feel the weight of responsibility because of the history of the building, everyday when you go in you are trying to make peoples lives better and that is a sense of responsibility. I hope people welcome the experience, it is quite hard to find the right once but actually remembering this public building and people have the right to commend i think it is incredibly important for british democracy. It is quite amusing in some ways because the queen often said she did not like a lot of fuss. I wonder what she would make of this. Traditionally she would not be going into Westminster Hall, which comes from the state opening her route is very tight, she can only walk on blue carpets when she came in so there is Something Interesting that she has any part of the building she would not have normally been in. It is still quite hard, i get a bit confused talking about how and present and past tense, poor bhp of adjustment for everybody. Theyre my cat will be a period of adjustment.

I will not be joining the queue because i have plenty of work to do but it is mesmerising to watch the queue as people from all walks of life pass by to pay their respects. Thank you so much for talking to us and sharing your experience. As the nation and people across the world mourn the loss of Queen Elizabeth ii the bbc has set up a webpage where viewers and listeners can share their memories and pay tribute. You can send your tributes, in words, still pictures or video, by email thats yourqueen bbc. Co. Uk or whatsapp on plus 44, 7756165 803. All of the details are on our website which also has a contact form now its time for a look at the weather. Many people in the queue will be very grateful of dry weather. And i think it will be primarily dry over the next couple of days, just the slight chance of a shower tomorrow. The main thing will be how chilly it feels if you are queueing early in the morning on into the evening because we have changed the Wind Direction, it is coming down from the north and with it bringing arctic air so the north and with it bringing arctic airso it the north and with it bringing arctic air so it will be the first significant chilly blast of the autumn with just about reached 20 degrees today in St Jamess Park but that will be the last time for some time back tojune. There are a number of showers across scotland, quite heavy and they will continue to push south on the brisk wind through this evening and overnight but inland where there is shelter temperatures will fall lower tonight, single figures for parts of northern wales, and a touch of class frost across scotland and the glens. This is the forecast for the next 45 days, permit of dry in london. Slightly increased risk of a shower tomorrow and possibly into monday but on balance most places are staying dry. A few more channels for the rest of Eastern England through tomorrow and on the bracing wind peaking in the east, gusts of 45 miles per, easing further west during the day and the shower activity will ease as well because we have a ridge of High Pressure building which will give us the more settled weather so through tomorrow be looking at 12 18 which is a notch down on today, today could be the last day we see 20 and that has been the case since the 1st ofjune. The weekend brings High Pressure but we have a Weather Front with us later on saturday into sunday but saturday morning looks the chilly is, temperatures in rural parts of southern england could get to freezing so quite widely grasp frost and a bright sunny start but clyde will increase across scotland to bring rain to the north and gradually the cloud will meander south through saturday into sunday but still pleasantly warm in the strong sunshine, further south more cloud on sunday drifting south, the chance of a shower and the week Weather Front and to monday. Similar temperatures, heading in to a chillier spill than we have had for sometime but said largely dry.

Hello and welcome to westminster, the heart of civic, public and institutional life in the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, and the last opportunity for members of the public and for the coming days to say their goodbyes and pay their respects to the countrys longest serving monarch, as Queen Elizabeth lies in state. It is the first full day she has laid in state in central london, after the body was brought from edinburgh, with all the ceremonial, in the company of members of herfamily. We are not seeing them over the course of this day. This is a day for the members of the public, the queueing of people who have given up the last several hours of their day to queue along the bridges on both sides of the river thames, to follow. A curious shot you saw from above, the chicane provided, the zigzag section, where people come almost close, where they can almost see the Palace Of Westminster and feel they are at the last leg, and then there is the chicane to try and slow down and process the numbers, so that there is no congestion. The thing they want to avoid most of all, congestion at the front of the queue, just as people reach the airport style security. The purpose of this is to manage in a dignified manner the opportunity for members of the public to pay their respects and to maximise the amount of time thatis and to maximise the amount of time that is available for people to do that. They have, from yesterday, throughout the day and night for the coming days, through the weekend, until monday at 6 30am when the last member of the public will be ushered from the great hall of westminster and the funeral day itself will begin. We know more about the details of the funeral. Royal officials have confirmed details for mondays State Funeral for Queen Elizabeth ii. The service will be held at Westminster Abbey in london before the late queen is taken to be by carriage, through the streets of london. Through the boroughs to the royal castle of windsor, the heart of a busy market town in england. She will be interred with the duke of edinburgh in st georges chapel in a private service at 7. 30pm on monday. King charles and his siblings will hold a vigil at Westminster Hall at 6. 30pm friday evening. An opportunity again for us to see them as part of the tribute. The king is reportedly notjust resting but talking to foreign dignitaries, some of the business set aside for the last week, since her majesty died in last thursday. Here, Westminster Hall, which isjust died in last thursday. Here, Westminster Hall, which is just the other side of the Palace Of Westminster, we are looking on the eastern side of the palace, so over on the western and is actually the oldest part of the building. It is behind a canopy here, as you look at that shot down to the bottom left, the entrance to Westminster Hall. If you have ever walked past the Parliament Buildings in london, you will have seen it opposite westminster underground station, as you cross the road. It is the building on the very corner facing onto the river and it is the oldest building, really, in the palaces of westminster. There is a secret about westminster. There is a secret about westminster it is not very old. The palace was rebuilt after a devastating fire back in the early 19th century and it was mostly replaced, but one per the billing that survived is Westminster Hall, and hence it is an imposing edifice. He was erected in 1097, almost 1000 years ago, on the orders of william the second, the son of the conqueror, it was a banqueting hall, thenit conqueror, it was a banqueting hall, then it became a place ofjustice in england and it served as a place for courts to meet right up until the 18805. Courts to meet right up until the 1880s. And courts to meet right up until the 18805. And it courts to meet right up until the 1880s. And it was only after 1882, i think, that the opportunity came for it to be used for commemorations of this kind, the first to receive that honour was a victorian Prime Minister, who lay in state there for several nights, with people having the opportunity to pay their respects, but as a public mourning opportunity, we are really talking ljy opportunity, we are really talking by the last 100 years, as monarchs, one after the other have died. There remains have remained in state. Westminster hall is open to the public day and night until early monday morning. If we look inside, we can see the scene that is greeting people after they have queued for hours. Her coffin is guarded at all hours by bodyguards. We will see in a moment the shots that show the configuration. We see political figures, that show the configuration. We see politicalfigures, members of political figures, members of parliament politicalfigures, members of parliament and members of the house of lords who have the opportunity to join the queue as well, come in, and politicians and public figures on the left there joining other members of the public to come and queue, to have a moment, and it is only a moment, of personal reflection, personal prayer, perhaps a moment of personal prayer, perhaps a moment of personal thanks. Those who have come to pay their respect to the queens coffin. Right on the top there, the frame that provides the support of which is in red, and the purple. The raised structure on which the coffin is laid, and obviously giving these people to maximum opportunity to see the coffin, draped in the Royal Standard, and as i say, the guards there provided 2a hours a day, seven days a week, guarded by members of the sovereigns bodyguard. The human orders of the Tower Of London also standing there yeomans warders. We expect members of The Royal Family also to do stand over the coffin. 0ur correspondent Caroline Hawley has more. Its a week since the country learned of Queen Elizabeths death, a week of National Public mourning and of private grief, and right now, thousands upon thousands of people wait patiently to pay their last respects. They have been on their feet all night, and there are hours left to go before theyll get to Westminster Hall. The queue, several miles long, snakes along the banks of the river thames. Wristbands, thank you. It has been orderly, organised and by all accounts a friendly experience, a coming together of people who want to show their gratitude and respect. Look at all these people, you know, theyre coming for their queen. There are even tourists here, we have met so many nice people, it has been lovely and i would regret, absolutely regret, if i didnt come. Today is the first full day of the queen Lying In State before her funeral on monday. Last night, emily and her two sons arrived in london from birmingham. Do you remember where the end of the queue is . It is london bridge. Lets go and catch the tube. Yes. Joining people from all corners of the country, and all ages. No bedtime, no school today. For them, being here was much too important to miss. We have just come out of seeing her majesty. It was absolutely amazing. Awesome. Thoroughly worth the six hour wait that we had. In the middle of last night, out of public view, the military was busy rehearsing for its role in this historic moment. Preparations for the queens death have been years, decades in the making, meticulous plans, now being meticulously practised and finessed. 142 sailors from the royal navy will draw the state gun carriage, used for Queen Victorias funeral. It will take the queens coffin to Westminster Abbey on monday. Pallbearers even practised their final duty to their former commander in chief, carrying an empty black coffin. At10 1ili, the queens coffin will be taken from Westminster Hall to Westminster Abbey, a solemn journey of eight minutes. It was here that she was crowned back in 1953. The Funeral Service, attended by Heads Of State from every corner of the globe, starts at 11am. It will be followed by a national two minute silence. The route of the procession goes past Buckingham Palace and on to wellington arch, where her coffin will be transferred into the state hearse. The late monarch will be driven by road to Windsor Castle, for a more intimate service at st georges chapel attended by members of The Royal Family and staff who served her throughout her reign. She will then be laid to rest in the evening in a private service. At sandringham in norfolk today, the prince and princess of wales came to greet well wishers and to look at the many floral tributes left to the queen. Inside Westminster Hall, for these members of the public, the long wait to say goodbye was over, everyone here with their own feelings, memories, emotions. As the country prepares, with pomp and pageantry, to bid its finalfarewell to britains longest ever reigning monarch. Caroline hawley, bbc news. The story of today and yesterday and all through the weekend, until the funeral on monday, will be the stories of people who have come to pay their respects, the people queuing behind me, waiting forfive or six hours to get to that point. Andy queue stretches notjust this side of the thames, but it goes the south side of the thames too, so this is westminster side, not very farfrom this is westminster side, not very far from where this is westminster side, not very farfrom where i am standing this is westminster side, not very far from where i am standing now. This is westminster side, not very farfrom where i am standing now. We cannot see from here, but what i can tell you is people are moving kind of sideways because there is a chicane arrangement which means they have to come if they were walking a Straight Line, the Straight Line would be the quickest point, but it is not necessarily the best point from the Airport Security point of view, in terms of keeping the crowds under control, ensuring there are no bottlenecks, and of course bottlenecks, and of course bottlenecks are a security risk. Lets be honest about that, that is the reason why they have these kind of measures, to ensure there is no point where everybody is suddenly bunched together. That is the idea of it. It also means it takes that much longerfor of it. It also means it takes that much longer for people to get through, but better people slow down there then you end up with people punching into the entrance of Westminster Hall and it all becomes a bit unseemly, a bit undignified, and the stewards, police, it is a very low key Police Presence actually, considering where we are, the tone, the mood is very positive. Everybody has been cooperative. There are toilets and water fountains provided. This plan has existed for many years, as the queen got older and as people got to think more and more of the moment, the ceremony that would be required to mark the moment of the passing, and these arrangements were put in place and they have been constantly refined by those who understand the need for these arrangements, for the importance notjust need for these arrangements, for the importance not just for need for these arrangements, for the importance notjust for the people who are here but for people watching around the world, that this moment is a dignified moment, because it is a moment that marks the departure of a moment that marks the departure of a woman who has been a public, globalfigure for 70 a woman who has been a public, global figure for 70 years, longer. One of the things i always member is going to anne franks house in amsterdam and seeing that in the bedroom where she was holed up for so many years before she was found by the nazis, she and herfamily taken off to concentration camps, or she met her death, there is little photograph cut out of the newspaper, glued to the wall, and that photograph was of the then princess elizabeth. Our Correspondentjohn Maguire has spoken to those not from just this country but from around the world who have come to pay their respects. From across the United Kingdom and around the globe, they came, and they waited, and they queued. All for this a fleeting but significant moment, a chance to say goodbye, notjust to a monarch, but to a woman who meant so much to so many. Catherine had flown in from the United States just to be here today. Very emotional. Very poignant, very touching. To see everyone going in and paying their respects. You can just feel the love that everyone has for her. Other journeys werent as far but no less important. She had compassion, empathy, forgiveness and love, and i think that has given more to the world than anything, and if only other leaders could be that way, wouldnt we live in a wonderful place . It was amazing, i wouldnt have missed it. It was worth waiting 11 hours. It really was. I thought to myself i will never see her again so this was the opportunity that i wanted to go and pay my respects. Maureen and her daughter emily made the decision to come this morning and entered via the accessible queue. She got you through your life, didnt she . Yeah. We are here on behalf of the whole family, past and present. Along the two mile queue that straddles both sides of the river thames, there are volunteers on hand to help. Multi faith teams are here to offer support and solace. This morning, the archbishop of canterburyjoined them, after playing a leading role in recent days. The idea of coming to see people here today . To see how people are, where theyve come from. Most people are in very good shape. I had a couple of conversations yesterday, where the process had renewed their sense of grief over their own losses. I have heard that a lot. And particularly coming out, chaplains have found that. Leading politicians will have been in Westminster Hall many times, but never before to pay their respects to their monarch. By day and by night, they will continue to come over the next few days, compelled by their own reasons, with their own stories, but with one thing in common the desire to say thank you and to say goodbye.

Were struck by the scale of the room, the silence, the reference.

Yes indeed. They then leila nathoo at Carriage Gate, thank you very much indeed. Lets talk now to a man who has their personal memories of the queen. He is himself a former Head Of State. Werejoined now by ian khama, the former president of botswana. Thank you very much forjoining us to talk to bbc news about your recollections and your feelings of this moment.

That was when my father was president. Thereafter, i met her a couple of times before i became president , when there were occasions like celebration of v e day, which were held in london, and then in 2008 i think it was, towards the end of 2008, i was invited for an official visit by the government, to the uk, and that is where i met the queen in person at Buckingham Palace. ,. ,. ,. , palace.

Actually, it was to do with the country, the your title. Actually, it was to do with the country, the countrysl with the country, the countrys name, because what happen in that year, in 2008, there have been elections in zimbabwe and i had taken a very strong stand against the late president mugabe about the brutality that took place over those elections, so when i arrived at Buckingham Palace, iwas elections, so when i arrived at Buckingham Palace, i was seated in a holding room with a few other people, and the issue of the bible he was raised. Somebody asked me questions about it. The officer who was to take me in to meet the queen and announce me was standing by the door, listening to the conversation, and the conversation was a lot to do with zimbabwe, and as we got to the door, as i was ushered in, as he announced why was, he introduced me as the president of zimbabwe, and i was taken aback. I looked at him to see whether, was this some kind of a joke or what, and i look at her majesty, and she was totally unruffled by it. I was the one who was taken aback. And as i went forward to go and greet and meet her, she said, do not worry about him, he is new, that is why he made that mistake. She put you at ease entirely during the entire conversation. One obviously had some apprehension meeting her majesty, but she was somebody who was able to make you feel like you had known her for a long time, and the conversation proceeded along that manner. You have a very close collection with this country. Your late mother, ruth, was british, and i think im right in saying you were born in britain. I wonder what you inherited from your mums side of the family in terms of your view of the monarchy. In terms of your view of the monarchy in terms of your view of the monarchy. In terms of your view of the monarch. ~ i ,. ,. , monarchy. Well, i think you are riiht, monarchy. Well, i think you are right. Yes. Monarchy. Well, i think you are right. Yes. I monarchy.

Well, i think you are | right, yes, i was born in the uk, and its true to say that my mother and its true to say that my mother and her mother, my grandmother, were very devoted royalists, and particularly i remember even my great on my mothers side, she was someone who had a lot of memorabilia of The Royal Family in the room, because she stayed with us for some time before she died, because she was quite old and was living on her own in the uk, and my mother invited her to come and stay with us. And actually i was happy because the time when the queen visited us, she was still alive, and the lead up to the queens visit, knowing that the queen was coming to visit, her comments and admiration for the queen is very similar to the people that you have been interviewing and those long lines waiting to pay their respects as her majesty lies in state.

Since botswana gained its independence, it has been an active member of the commonwealth. You mentioned already that stand you took over the late president mugabe over zimbabwe. You know over many of those sometimes quite fraught conversations that must have happened as commonwealth leaders met, perhaps certainly at beginning of your time met, perhaps certainly at beginning of yourtime in met, perhaps certainly at beginning of your time in office, the queen was still an active president on the world stage, but how important was she as part of that even though she had no power, but how important was she in the deliberations . {lii had no power, but how important was she in the deliberations . She in the deliberations . Of course her majesty she in the deliberations . Of course her majesty as she in the deliberations . Of course her majesty as head she in the deliberations . Of course her majesty as head of she in the deliberations . Of course her majesty as head of the her majesty as head of the commonwealth, when we went to those commonwealth, when we went to those commonwealth meetings, the focal point or the height or the occasion, despite the various talks that would be held by Heads Of States or heads of government was the opportunity when her majesty would be there and preside on occasion at some of the events, so that was always the highlight of the commonwealth meetings, the heads of government meetings, the heads of government meetings, and that was something which i think everybody cherished and look forward to, and it is something which i would say her presence, her association, was like the cement that kept the commonwealth together and made it what it is today. That commonwealth together and made it what it is today. What it is today. That poses another iuestion what it is today. That poses another question which what it is today. That poses another question which is what it is today. That poses another question which is one what it is today. That poses another question which is one for what it is today. That poses another question which is one for the question which is one for the future. There must be many people in africa, much younger than you, or indeed me, who wonder what this institution is for and dont necessarily feel a terribly direct connection to the uk, maybe even feel antipathy towards the uk because of the history of empire and the history of colonialism. How do you think the commonwealth can make that transition from a relatively respected and admired figure like the queen whose continuity of nothing else provides that sense of loss for many who may not be monarchists to a new king and a different sort of future for the commonwealth . I different sort of future for the commonwealth . Different sort of future for the commonwealth . , commonwealth . I think the one thing which ou commonwealth . I think the one thing which you do commonwealth . I think the one thing which you do extremely commonwealth . I think the one thing which you do extremely well commonwealth . I think the one thing which you do extremely well in commonwealth . I think the one thing which you do extremely well in the i which you do extremely well in the uk is precisely the word you used, continuity. When you look at whats happening around the death of her majesty, the traditions, the ceremonies, the attire, the uniforms, is second to none. It is something which goes back many, many years, and after the queen died, certainly in my case, there was like a kind of emptiness. But within 2a hours, it was being filled by the new king, not particularly because of all the procedures that surround it, but by his own manner and character, where literally he wasnt given time to mourn the passing of his dear mother, and he was propelled into this process of being the new sovereign, attending ceremonies, having meetings with diplomats and politicians, the speeches he had to give, the vigils he was carrying out with his family, the parades, going around meeting and talking to people. He took on this role like you put your hand inside a glove. It was so smooth and with a lot of ease. Within one week, because its been a week now since his dear mother passed, king charles has literally i would say earned in one week more respect than many leaders around the world, and you can see it from the people. When you talk about continuity, when you have been interviewing people from every corner of the globe, including from africa, and ive heard some of them refer to her their grandmother, that is the kind of thing which i think is the kind of thing which i think is something that only the british can do well. There are many countries which have their own ceremonies and traditions, but britain is second to none when it comes to this, so i am very sure as people were shouting out, you know, god save the king, long live the king, that this transition is going to be a smooth one, and king charles will continue, certainly by the example that his dear mother set. President ian khama, thank you very much for sharing your memories in your thoughts and hopes for the future with us here on bbc news. You are ve future with us here on bbc news. Ym. Are very welcome, thank you very much. That was the former president of botswana, ian khama, talking to us live from johannesburg in south africa. All our viewers will recall the name, the former name of botswana as it was known in colonial times, a really important country in Southern Africa and now a country that has retained very strong links to the country of ian khamas mothers birth. Lets talk again about what is happening here.

Yes, volunteers, police, lots of security services, some of the military personnel have been coming to us as well, and a lot of the general public, some of whom have been in the queue, some of whom are waiting to go into the queue. It is difficult, because people come and they know they are going to have and they know they are going to have a long wait but sometimes we all overestimate our capacity to sustain ourselves at a time like this. Are you getting many cases of people a bit over come by at all, may be feeling a bit faint and needing to have a warm drink and sit down and just gather themselves for the next stage of it .

He thanked his family and fans. Oursports celebrate. He thanked his family and fans. Our Sports Correspondent andy swiss has more. Where do you begin with Roger Federer, notjust one of the greats of tennis but the greats of world sport. As he said in his statement, he is now 41 and has not played a competitive match since he was knocked out of the quarterfinals at wimbledon last summer, and it seems that the knee injury which has been plaguing him in recent years has finally got the better of him. But he is one of the most successful tennis players that the sport has ever seen. Tennis players that the sport has everseen. He tennis players that the sport has ever seen. He won the mens singles at wimbledon eight times, more than any man in history, he was the king of centre court. He first won it backin of centre court. He first won it back in 2003, the first of five in a row. He last won it in 2017, amidst hugely emotional scenes. He won 20 grand slams in and only raff grand slams in total, and only raff Novak Djokovic have more grand slam titles than that only rafael nadal and Novak Djokovic have more. He was world number one for the best part of six years in his prime. But in recent seasons we have seen him more and more with struggling more and more with injuries, and he says that next weeks labour cup, a team event taking place in london, will be his final event in competitive tennis, and this comesjust final event in competitive tennis, and this comes just after the retirement of Serena Williams, so tennis is seeing the retirement of two of its greatest players in history and just a matter of weeks. As you would expect, that has been lots of reaction to federal� s retirement from the world of tennis. Wimbledon said, it has been a privilege to witness yourjourney and see you become a champion in every sense of word. Billiejean king said that his memories will live on and on, and rafa nadal said it has been a pleasure and honour and privilege to share all these years with you. Annabel croft has more. ,.

Thats all your support for now. Laura, thank you very much. The founder of the outdoor fashion brand patagonia, has given away the entire company, which is valued at around £2. 5 billion to a charitable trust. Yvon chouinard said any profit not reinvested in the running of the business would go to fight Climate Change. He claimed that the profits donated to cliamate causes will amount to around £87 million a year. Joining us now for more on this is safia minney, the founder of Ethical Fashion brand people tree, and the founder of fashion declares, a Campaign Organisation focused on Climate Change. To what extent is this move by patagonia in keeping with the ethos of the company so far . Thor;r patagonia in keeping with the ethos of the company so far . Of the company so far .

They have i always shown great leadership in the clothing and fashion sector. It is building on work they have done over the decades in promoting living wages for workers and also regenerative agriculture very recently and also supporting their employees in activism, even offering to bail out their staff if they are arrested on peaceful demonstrations. So they have really turned from supporting activist causes to becoming an activist organisation, corporation, themselves. So i think this is a really exciting move, because it shows really the kind of leadership that we need right now, the kind of leadership, you know, when we are in the throes of a climate at ecological and social collapse with 18 billion people on the brink of starvation in africa and two thirds of pakistan underwater, and 27 of the worlds population who have personal experience Severe Weather conditions in the last five years. So this is really a wake up call for other Business Leaders to take bold action, to really look at systemic and rapid change, because anything elsejust and rapid change, because anything else just isnt good enough. Decarbonisation by 2050 is not enough, so really excited to see this gift of support. And we mustnt forget that there are huge business interests, vested business interests, vested business interests, but have quietened down and not allowed for the kind of campaigning activism, and the kinds of deep conversation that need to be had both about the climate and ecological and social emergency but also about democracy, so this gift of £80 million a year or more will really help that process, and i hope that other Business Leaders will follow rather than just keeping their yachts in monaco and having their yachts in monaco and having their wealth stored in offshore tax haven is.

Without us buying patagonia products, they wont be £87 million a year, so it is a strange path that he is having to navigate, so we need to keep buying so he has got that money, but in the process of buying there was a lot of waste in the fashion industry.

They are thinking in the fashion industry about new i industry. They are thinking in the i fashion industry about new models of both fashion and production, and there is no question that it cannot possibly sustain this level of consumption, the level of consumption, the level of consumption in high Income Countries like our own, so we are going to have to look at cutting consumption 75 or more, so this isnt news to anyone, but i think what is really key here is you had the gesture and the very public face of dont buy this jacket, the Advertising Campaign several years ago from patagonia, and i think the funds raised from the sales of what became quite a Successful Campaign went into them setting up their resale platform, but i think their resale and repair, the whole approach now to delivering a value added product thatis to delivering a value added product that is regenerating the soil and also supporting communities whilst really looking at how we reduce our footprint on the earth is key. But youre absolutely right, yes, i was with a group of people this morning, they heard the news, they wont necessarily in Ethical Fashion at all, but once had, my wife heard that news and has decided she is going to buy everything from patagonia now.

We have ten years of clothing on the planet already, so we need to buy second hand, we need to resale, we need to repair and we need to start looking after what we have, but we can also move to craft, and they are beginning to do a lot of craft, hand weaving and techniques like this, because it generates a large number of livelihoods whilst using the least amount of natural resource, so there are lots of Different Things that are coming out, we have been collating some of the best practice methods on the website, so it is a bottom up movement, and everybody within the fashion industry is coming on to learn about circular in economy and how we start to pay living wages, looking also at the new narrative fashion which isnt just about exclusivity and luxury, it is about downsizing our lifestyles, creating low impact ways of living and showing a totally different way is possible and necessary so that we can avoid climate collapse.

He has spoken before about how much it means to him, and today he referenced it again saying it was hard for him and brought back memories, sol it was hard for him and brought back memories, so i think it shows that this is something, his brush with early bereavement is still with him, very much something he thinks about, and it comes back now. find very much something he thinks about, and it comes back now.

Therell be plenty more dry and bright weather around for the rest of the day. There is quite a bit of cloud in the skies and it has been thick enough for the odd shower across north west england, parts of wales, across Northern Ireland. But the heaviest, most frequent showers are across northern and Eastern Parts of scotland. Just the odd one in the east and its breezy out there, quite a blustery breeze in the north and east. And the change in Wind Direction to a northerly has made it feel much fresher out and about. And that will continue through the night to the breeze, continuing to blow showers into northern and eastern areas and around the irish sea coast as well. But temperatures will fall lower even further south tonight into single figures with ground frost in the glens of scotland. Its likely well see a bit more sunshine around, though, tomorrow, but with that brisk wind picking up further, it will carry the showers, more showers potentially into Eastern Parts of england, as well as the north east of scotland. So another fresh feeling day, perhaps fewer showers in the west. At six the prince and princess of wales greet well wishers as plans for the queens State Funeral are set out. Prince william describes how difficult it was walking behind his grandmothers coffin yesterday, saying it brought back memories of princess dianas funeral. Thousands continue to queue for hours to file past the queens coffin the line is currently more than 11. 5 miles long. Also on the programme.
