Many years| ago when churchill died in 1965, the then promise to Harold Wilson coined this phrase, a working funeral, when you can use the opportunity of all these World Leaders coming to the uk to send messages, to do a bit of diplomacy, clearly there will be a bit of that. The Prime Minister today has been meeting the king in the last few minutes, two people very much in the news in their new roles, but the Prime Minister and the king are also going to be meeting lots of those World Leaders, the Prime Minister has already seen at the Irish Taoiseach, she is assisting the canadian promise to come off of the polish Prime Minister, so there is a lot of that going on, and the main focal point of the diplomacy will be tonight at the reception at Buckingham Palace, where the king and the Queen Consort are hosting all of these World Leaders. Its notjust a reception, rinse party, its an enormous event of the like of which we havent seen for years. So there is diplomacy on the side. Ukraine, the world economy, lots to talk about. But the ultimate point is that they are here for a very short period of time, so the main focus will be on the queen, because the moment the funeral is over tomorrow, because the moment the funeral is overtomorrow, most because the moment the funeral is over tomorrow, most of these leaders are heading straight to the airport, many of them are going to wear the real diplomatic action is, which is the Big Un Summit In New York later this week.

Shortly, i would shortly, Iwould Imagine shortly, i would imagine a decision will have to be made about when the cut off point will come to close the gates because the decision is to make sure that those who have entered the q are able to snake their way on that ten mile route from here to Westminster Hall and they are not turned away, because they are not turned away, because the Lying In State does finish tomorrow at 6 30am, before the queens funeral takes place. In Northern Ireland, tributes have been paid to Queen Elizabeth across the traditional political divide. The late monarch played an Important Role in the peace process, making significant symbolic gestures to help reconciliation after 30 years of conflict. Our ireland correspondent chris page has been hearing from people ahead of the queens funeral. In Northern Ireland, castles are a backdrop for condolences. The Fresh Flowers have brought back old memories of the queens trips across the irish sea. Newsreel Carrickfergus Castle looked out on a very wet scene | as the royal barge brought the queen to the jetty. I some of the most precious recollections are of people meeting the late monarch. I was so nervous, you know, to think that i was going to meet the greatest person ever in my life. And went forward then to the wee platform and, you know, you did your curtsy and then youre looking into these two beautiful blue eyes looking at you, and the smile. Just three months ago, residents of the Fountain Estate in londonderry held a party for the platinumjubilee. The picture of her majesty which they made for that occasion now has a black ribbon attached, as people prepare themselves for herfuneral. I want to sit there and cry and, you know, just really drink in every single second, as we have been doing. I mean, everybody at the minute here in this club, the minute they come in, with the tv, theyre sitting glued, and you find an hour passes, two hours pass, and you could just sit there all day. Its almost 70 years since cameras captured this in Northern Irelands capital. Thousands greeted the sovereign with joy during her coronation tour. But on the day of the funeral, this will be a place of sorrow rather than celebration. People will gather to watch proceedings in london and windsor in front of a grand building which Queen Elizabeth ii knew so well. Members of the irish nationalist community ultimately want Northern Ireland to leave the united kingdom. In these areas, fewer businesses are likely to close tomorrow. But while people dont feel connected to the monarchy, there is a recognition the queen worked to heal a divided society. There was a huge degree of respect for Queen Elizabeth, and people were very anxious to express their regrets and their condolences to king charles, and there was a degree of warmth there, which might not necessarily have been present in the past. And for those who cherish their unionist identity, the queen was the prime symbol of britishness. That sentiment is strong on the Shankill Road in belfast. Itll be a sad, sad day. Such a lovely leader. Such a lovely lady. She had served our country well. We take our hats off for all i the years that shes given us, and we hope we can give Something Back for the future king. The queen was revered by unionists and most often respected by nationalists. They will both be contemplating her legacy as she is laid to rest. Chris page, bbc news. To other news. Ukraines president , volodymyr zelensky, says investigations into possible russian war crimes are continuing in the city of izyum, which was recently retaken from Russian Forces. Bodies are being exhumed from a mass grave on the edge of the city. Izyum is one of several areas back in ukrainian hands after significant territorial gains in recent days, although heavy fighting is still continuing. Our correspondent hugo bachega is in kyiv. Joanna, officials are determined to find out what happened to those people who have been buried in a pine forest outside izyum. More than 450 graves have been found, and one by one, they are being reopened, the bodies recovered and taken for examination. So far, 59 bodies have been exhumed. The Authorities Say most of them are of civilians, but they also include 17 ukrainian soldiers. We still dont know how they died, and this is likely to be a very long investigation. President zelensky said there was new evidence that torture had been carried out by Russian Forces, but he hasnt given details. Elsewhere, in the kharkiv region, a local official says russian shelling killed four medical workers who were trying to evacuate patients from a Mental Health facility. We still dont know the details of what happened, but this alleged attack happened yesterday. There are reports of five civilians being killed in the don its good region, and in the south, houses and lines were hit. In the donetsk region. There are reports that Russian Forces have stepped up their attacks on civilian infrastructure. Police and Community Leaders in leicester have called for calm, after street clashes in the east of the city last night. Two people were arrested after officers had to separate hundreds of mainly young men in two groups, from hindu and muslim communities. Its the latest in a series of disturbances, initially sparked by a Cricket Match between india and pakistan late last month. Four Million People injapan have been urged to leave their homes as the country prepares for one of the most destructive typhoons in years. Winds of more than 90 Miles Per Hour have been battering the coast, and at least 25,000 properties are already without power. Our tokyo correspondent Rupert Wingfield hayes reports. This typhoon is a huge and angry storm, the like of which japan has rarely if ever experienced before. It is hundreds of miles across and close to its sent of the winds are gusting to over 150 mph. As it swept ashore this morning, the government issued an emergency alert, one which has never been declared before anywhere on the japanese mainland.

It is also carrying vast quantities of water, and that is now falling right across the eastern half of the area. As much as half a metre of rain could fall in less than 24 our is. This area is very mountainous and the danger will then be of landslides and even more so of flooding. There is too much water coming down for the rivers to handle, so the japanese government has told nearly 3 Million People they need to leave their homes and head to local evacuation centres. This morning, thousands began to heed that advice, but hundreds of thousands more will likely choose to ignore that advice and ride out the storm at home. It will be a very tense night for them and for the authorities. River levels across the area and southern honshu are expected to peak sometime in the next 12 hours, putting japans Flood Defences under severe strain. It would only take one breach for towns to be inundated in minute, giving people no time to evacuate. Japan is used to typhoons, but the storms are getting bigger and more frequent, and defences that worked in the past may not be enough for monster storms like this. Rupert wingfield hayes, bbc news, tokyo. Lets return now to reflections on the life and service of the queen. Religion was a significant influence throughout the queens life, and her funeral tomorrow is expected to reflect her deep and personal christian faith. Our religion editor Aleem Maqbool has been looking at what the queens private faith meant to her and the role it played throughout her reign. Throughout her reign, in good times and bad, the queen drew heavily from herfaith to guide her. And this Little Church on the edges of the Balmoral Estate was a place she held dear. She came to services at crathie kirk all her life, with very little ceremony. But there was a royal seat and a royal pew where she always sat. The queen was a very regular churchgoer. If she was here, almost always she would come to church. For 15 years, Ken Mackenzie was domestic chaplain to the queen. He will be among those at windsor for herfinal service. Some of the moments i cherish most would be moments when the queen would speak to me as a parish minister. I remember being over there one evening, iasked her what her favourite hymn was. She said to me that her fondest memory ever of christian song was Herfather Singing to her at her bedside, as she was going to bed. The hymn she remembered Herfather Singing was based on the parable of the sheep lost in open country. Although the road be rough and steep, i go to the desert to find my sheep. Lord sentamu, former archbishop of york, is one of a small team that came up with the original order of service for the queens funeral. He says her knowledge of scripture was remarkable. She knows the psalms by heart and can recite them. So you can have a conversation. One time, you know, she was going through quite a trying period, wed been talking, and suddenly, i lift up mine eyes to the hills. Whence cometh my help . My help cometh from the lord, maker of heaven and earth. And you knew, whatever difficulty she was going through, her anchor is in god. And it was that anchor of her faith that once led the queen to say this. As dark as death can be, particularly for those suffering with grief, light and life are greater. Aleem maqbool, bbc news.

They may pick up some of the kings Previous Charity work, but Firm Decisions are yet to be made. We talk a lot about soft power, but ive witnessed that soft power in action. A word or two from a member of the royal family can mean a lot to you and also make you think, so they are determined to use that power for good, i would say. They realise how much responsibility they have, and they feel passionately about the citizens of this country and about making the lives of people in this country better. Some areas will require careful navigation. There have been critical voices, but expect an early visit to wales from the prince and princess, where we are told they will invest time in creating meaningful relationships.

As weve witnessed, theres been an outpouring of grief across the country. On the eve of Queen Elizabeths funeral, our home editor mark easton reflects on the past ten days of National Mourning in the uk. Cannon booms the certainties of a kingdom have been shaken. Ruptured by the loss of its monarch and a key bridgehead to its past. Plans for these days have been in place for decades. Every feather and flag, every step and turn choreographed in minute and meticulous detail. The last ten days have been about two distinct events the passing of a queen, and the making of a king. The transfer of authority is designed as an illustration of National Competence britain showing its people and the world that even at a time of flux, it knows what its doing. Fanfare plays there is purpose in the performance, too, binding king and kingdom in the gold braid of reassuring custom. Questions over the future of the monarchy or the union are answered with ceremonial conviction echoes from ancient mists, albeit that much of the pageantry is a reinvention from the last century. Hip hip. Hurray but the respectful public response is real. The loss of a much loved and venerable queen a reminder of our own transience. Pilgrimages to palaces, the Reverential Ritual Of Flowers and flames, a communion with the sacred. The last time i saw her, i saw exactly the same cheerfulness and confidence in her eyes as i imagined id seen at the coronation. We shall see whether the threads been cut. King charles could, after all, take the thread and knot it in a royal knot and say, on we go. Thats what i hope you will do. Thats what i hope he will do. We have seen hostility is put to one side, a temporary truce, perhaps, but an opportunity for healing, too. Planned strikes suspended, disputes and rivalries postponed, fulham and chelsea, alloa and falkirk, derbies for another day. The detailed plans for the accession always emphasised how the new king must be seen not only surrounded by the elite and titled but among the ordinary people. His first public act as king was to step from his Rolls Royce Outside The Palace Railings to meet and touch the gathered crowds, content to be kissed on hand and cheek by those he did not know. But when the dust settles, normality will return, with the trials of real life. In facing those challenges, the country may have been strengthened by a period of reflection a rare moment to think about who we are and who we want to be. Mark easton, bbc news.
