Thank you for being with us more than a thousand Paddington Bears and other soft toys which were left outside royal residences in tribute to the queen are being donated to the Childrens Charity barnardos. The bears were mainly left along with flowers and marmalade sandwiches at stjames park and Windsor Castle in the days after her majestys death. Theyve all been professionally cleaned and queen consort camilla posed for a picture with a some of them before they were donated. Now its time for a look at the weather with chris fawkes. We have seen plenty of sunshine for most parts of the country through the afternoon but we are beginning to see signs of a change in our Thickening Cloud towards our south west, that is associated with this area of low pressure that will push its weight north eastwards overnight and into tomorrow as well. Rain arriving pretty quickly this evening.

More than a thousand Paddington Bear is left in memory of Queen Elizabeth to be sent to charity. Now on bbc news, Mark Devenport explores the pressures on the constitution and the crown is the kingdom of charles iii united enough to last . Born a prince, he grew up in the public eye, the man who would be king. With the queens passing, the responsibility for the United Kingdom and the wider commonwealth now rests with King Charles Iii. Been on very public display. But once the wave of sadness and sympathy subsides, what will the future hold . As the latest census underlines how Northern Ireland has changed utterly, and the clamour for Scottish Independence continues, we ask can the monarch keep his kingdom united . Its one oclock in the morning in South East London and theres no time to lose. Hearing rumours the uks longest queue might soon be closed to new arrivals, this group of friends, straight off the plane from belfast, hurry along. Its only when they are sure theyve passed the Point Of No Return that Kathryn Beggs and her companions from County Tyrone pause to explain their extraordinary late night pilgrimage. I think its a really historic moment. Im a teacher, primarily english, but i do teach a bit of history and i just think that the Palace Of Westminster was built after William The Conqueror and we teach about that in year eight in school. Were still talking about him a thousand years later and i think we will be still talking about this queen for many generations to come. I think the crowd will carry us through. Theres eight of us here and were in it together and in the end it is to pay respects to the queen that served for over 70 years. So i think this is the least we can do. Kathryn, good luck, good luck with the rest of the trip. This is by no means the only group from Northern Ireland joining this queue. A number of the aeroplanes that have been going across tonight have been packed with people who are intent on waiting all night in order to see the queen lying in state. Its been the longest apprenticeship in British Royal history. 1969 charles receives the coronet, sword and mantle that go with his role as the prince of wales. I, charles, prince of wales, do become your liege man for life and limb and earthly worship, in faith and truth i will bear unto thee to live and die against all manner of folks. More than a half century would pass before he assumed his new title King Charles Iii. I have say that am really pleasantly surprised. I think he has done everybody proud. I know talking to people at home weve all sort of felt the same way. Hes stepped up, so hopefully he will do her proud. Charless job will be to push them through to the 21st century. I mean the queen did a greatjob over her reign, transitioning from the empire to the commonwealth. I think he and william have a lot on their plate to transition to modern day. As a prince, charles iiis relationship with ireland was marked by tragedy and trauma, as well as gestures of friendship and reconciliation. His ceremonial role as head of the Parachute Regiment made him a target of republican protests when he visited londonderry. He himself suffered first hand with the loss of his favourite great uncle, lord mountbatten, murdered by the ira more than a0 years ago. At the time, i couldnt imagine how we would come to terms with the anguish of such a deep loss since for me, lord mountbatten represented the grandfather i never had. Through this dreadful experience though, i now understand in a profound way the agonies borne by so many others on these islands. Charles shared his mothers determination to build bridges, travelling to dublin in 1995, 16 years before the queens historic state visit. I think it is great to see him here. He is very welcome. Good relations between the countries. In a sense, his visit paved the way for her visit and he is a frequent visitor to ireland along with camilla. And he has in fact said he wants to visit every county in ireland, and you must give him ten out of ten for effort. When he comes here he does things like he, you know, would have a go at an irish sport and so on i dont know if hes quite reached the heights that his mother did in her 2011 visit, which was a really landmark visit. A uachtarain, agus a chairde. Like his mother, charles held out the hand of friendship to irish republicans. It must have been very difficult for her late majesty and our new king to engage with sinn fein figures, having suffered that very real personal loss. I mean, it seems clear that they were both very close to lord mountbatten, and losing him and his grandson, and others in that tragedy, you know, makes them definitely. I mean, they fall, ithink, within the victims of the Northern Ireland troubles. So, when charles iii made his first visit to Northern Ireland as king, few could have been surprised by his diplomatic approach to politicians across the spectrum here. Nevertheless, the kings encounter with stormont� s sinn fein speaker was striking. Ba Mhaith Liom Comhbhron a Dheanamh Leat Ag an am crua seo. I would like to sympathise with you at this difficult time. We are thankful for Queen Elizabeths commitment and encouragement to building peace and reconciliation across these islands and indeed for all of those who seek to keep us moving towards that goal. There certainly was, for me anyway, a moment of watching the king and alex maskey at hillsborough thinking this is really an extraordinary evolution of history. But i think if youd ask most historians with the best of Crystal Balls to gaze into 20 years ago, that would have been unthinkable. It would have seemed like something out of a work of hopeful fiction. White back we passed our condolences under a man who had lost his mother, we were respectful and we were also recognising the significant contribution that his mother, Queen Elizabeth played in advancing peats and reconciliation peace. And my own experience is that this is something that republicans were comfortable with. 50 years ago, in the wake of bloody sunday, the British Embassy in dublin was burned down. In the days after the queens death a small number of floral tributes were [aid at the embassy gates. I think theres huge potential for king charles to continue the work his mother championed, as trying to unify people, and support reconciliation. Throughout his life, hes been enormously positive about his mothers work. So i would be optimistic that he would be able to follow in those footsteps. But his room for manoeuvre could be limited by the souring of relations between london and dublin in the wake of brexit. I think the post brexit scenario does make things very difficult for king charles. Obviously relations between britain and ireland now at a Government Level are not good, in fact probably the worst in recent memory at least. Prince charles obviously will be trying to remain above all that, but its a difficult situation. What is really interesting is that there is an opportunity to get brexit sorted in some way, in some workable way. And i think in parallel with that, king charles can probably reach out the hand of friendship to ireland again. I dont think well see the High Water Mark that we saw under Queen Elizabeth on her really groundbreaking state visit. But it can be better than it is, because its pretty bad at the moment. Certainly, he cant do anything that is seen to undermine his own government. He cant be seen to contradict their policy. But i think given what we know about the kings personality, it wouldnt surprise me if that was another flashpoint in this brexit process. Back in the queue, 12 hours after they set out, the friends from tyrone are tired but elated. They have just had a royal morale booster. The end is in sight. Its been unbelievable. Weve done very well together encouraging ourselves along the way. There was a bit of a surprise. Tell me what happened. We werejust coming down to lambeth bridge. And we saw the car with the Royal Standard on it. And word got round that charles and william were both arriving. So i got to shake both their hands. I said to william that him and his father are doing such a great job with such a difficult time this last week. And he just said thank you very much. Youve done a fantasticjob. Good luck with the queue. Three cheers for the king hip hip hooray when Queen Elizabeth acceded to the throne 70 years ago no one could have predicted all the political, economic and social turmoil that played out during the course of her reign. Equally no one knows quite how long king charles will rule or what the world will look like when his time draws to a close. However its safe to assume that the monarchy will face more of this kind of thing. Commonwealth countries like barbados deciding to jettison the crown in favour of their own elected Head Of State. Godspeed, barbados. May yourjourney be long, fruitful, and bright. And may your sons and daughters all flourish. Stand easy theres no question that there will be fewer monarchies in the commonwealth within 5 to 10| years, i mean thats almost a given. Weve seen a ground swell to stay in the commonwealth but not to remain tied to the monarchy with a Head Of State from the royal family. His royal highness, the prince of wales, Prince Charles charles wants to govern with the broad consent of the people, and wants to be seen as a modern monarch. So in some ways, perhaps, being seen as the midwife at a new age of the transition to republican government. Politically it might play well for the king at home. Because whats the alternative . You are seen as someone who wants to reign from afar over countries where a majority of people are of other ethnic backgrounds. And that sits uneasily with a lot of people in the 20205. Whatever happens throughout the commonwealth, King Charless reign could witness big changes closer to home within the uk. Here in Scotland The Snp is pushing for a split from england, but crucially, it wants to leave the new king in place. At no point have the snp been critical of the monarchy, indeed, been critical of the king. It has been stressing that their policy was always that they would maintain the crown in an independent scotland. Just even the visuals of seeing Nicola Sturgeon at that proclamation ceremony, at one stage singing god save the king, that is something that i think a lot of scottish people and other people in the uk and around the world havent seen before. And its a fascinating insight into what the snp actually believe in a way that will surprise many people. I think this wave of pro uk, pro monarch sentiment is going to have a big effect on Scottish Independence for a while. When the scottish last got to vote on independence, Queen Elizabeth urged them to consider theirfuture very carefully. The general assumption is that Buckingham Palace would like to keep its kingdom united. But with the snp supporting a continuation of the monarchy, thats an issue king charles will have to handle with extreme care. The queen passed away on her scottish estate at balmoral. Theres been speculation that the affection expressed for her across scotland may bolster support for the country staying in the uk. I think it is going to have an impact, most definitely. I think, you know, a lot of people will reassess and rethink things. And if its going to do anything, its going to give people probably a push to think again, and i hope it does. I love the queen and i love princess anne, but im still a yes. I think we could make it a lot better with independence. So i would probably stick with being a yes, i dont think this has impacted my decision at all. I think the political thing is different from the royal thing, you know. With the royal thing, i think sort of weve got an affinity to the queen and the royal house, but politically with whats been going on under borisjohnson and the rest of it, i dont know about liz truss being any different, thats a stumbling block. And that might be why people want to go independent. As for me, im on the fence a bit. How soon the impact of recent events will be tested remains uncertain as london continues to resist edinburghs demands for a fresh referendum. One question that we really need to ask ourselves for the next few months, especially with a view to a potential referendum in 2023, as Nicola Sturgeon has promised, is, have people been monarchists, or have they been elizabethists . Is it actually support for Queen Elizabeth that has felt like support for the institution of the monarchy and does that dissipate under king charles . If scotland goes it alone, albeit with a monarchy, what will the future hold for the rest of charless kingdom . It would be very, very difficult for charles to, you know, continue to say he was the king of the United Kingdom because the kingdom would no longer be united. There are risks around the union at the moment, and i think it is crucial for everyone, you know, who believes in the union to make a really positive case for it. And i think we also need to sort of engage the wider business communities, the civil society. Of course its important for those of us in elected office, to explain that unity and working together has tremendous advantages. Its the most successful Political Union in history. I wouldnt be able to make any kind of a prediction about whether or not Northern Ireland will be breaking away from the union anytime soon, but if the Opinion Polls are to be believed and sinn fein does win the next election and lead the next government in dublin, certainly you will hear talk of a desire for a United Ireland ramping up a good few notches. Whatever happens in scotland, last weeks Census Results show the underlying picture here is also influx. When Queen Elizabeth took the throne in the 19505, more than six out of 10 people here were protestant and there was no doubt a clear majority of Northern Irelands population roughly two thirds favoured the union. The latest census reveals, though, that for the first time people here from a catholic background outnumber their neighbours from the protestant community. Its important, of course, not to equate someones religion with their politics. However, taken together, the findings on religion and National Identity show that the Northern Ireland king charles reigns over today is a very different place from the one his mother inherited 70 years ago. Well, i wouldnt take the census in isolation. I think that it is an example out of many, which shows that we are living in a society that has changed. We are living in a society that will continue to change. And i think the results from the census show that there is a momentum and a trajectory to further change on this island. There is a conversation around constitutional change, and i do think its inevitable that the question will be put to the people on this island, north and south. Unionists reject the notion a United Ireland is inevitable. Some believe the monarchy� s popularity here will shore up the argument for staying in the uk. Undoubtedly, demographic change means that its more important than ever for those of us who believe in the union to make a positive case for it. You know, i absolutely dont think that attitudes to the union have to split down sectarian lines. I feel sure that our new king and the royal family will continue to provide an important symbol of unity for our country, which i hope will be part of this continuing positive advocacy for keeping our nation together. Do you believe that King Charles Iii will be the last monarch to reign over this part of the world . Well, i dont know. But what i do say is that i do think constitutional change will be coming to this island. Thats open for debate. But if an independent scotland would keep the monarch in place, what role, if any, might the king play in the event of a United Ireland . If, as is likely, sinn fein becomes the Largest Political Party and achieves power in the republic of ireland, and prioritises its unity agenda, would they be open to the idea of ireland rejoining the commonwealth . Given that they will be under pressure to emphasise what they are prepared to compromise on when it comes to their relationship with unionists . Could the commonwealth be a part of that story . If you were to achieve a United Ireland, would there be any symbolic role that you could envisage king charles or his successors continuing to play . Well, im an irish republican. Im not a monarchist. But what i would say is that the shape of a new ireland is for all of us to have input into. Everything needs to be on the table for conversation. In terms of a cultural emotional tie to unionism, the monarch is an extraordinary force. I think we would be naive, theres no possibility theres a border poll that there will be any role for the monarchy in the island of ireland politically or from a Head Of State role afterwards. But i think the strength of royalist enthusiasm within the loyalist or Unionist Community would last for quite some time after any border poll, potentially for at least two, three, four generations. Of course, charless kingdom isnt just about lines on a map. Its also about what the public think and whether they remain content with the traditions of a constitutional monarchy. You only have to look at these queues to appreciate the enormous levels of affection felt for the queen. But in the future, will the people be content for the royal family to continue as if nothing has changed, or will they want a more cost efficient streamlined monarchy . I think we will end up within 10 years, maybe within 5, of being closer to the model used by the Danish Monarchy which is slimmed down. Certainly, they have been pretty efficient about making sure that Queen Margaret ii doesnt include all the grandchildren or even all her children in hrh duties, for want of a better word. So i think the British Monarchy will go down that route where it is smaller in its composition. Weve seen dramatic changes during her late majestys reign, so one would expect that to continue. It is an institution thats shown itself again and again ready to adapt to new circumstances, so i suspect we are likely to see some changes from our new king. Polling carried out after the queens death indicated that, across the uk, 67 of the public supported a continuation of the monarchy, with only 20 backing an elected presidency. In the polling for my own newspaper, the times, by yougov, you see for the first time in living memory, a majority of people saying they think king charles would make a good king. The difficulty is, as time goes on, will questions over whether this king is the right person to shepherd the institution into a new age rear their head again . Backin back in county to roam the friends reminisce on westminster hall. Just to have been a part of history and to have been a part of history and to have been a part of history and to have the opportunity was amazing. I think hes had a long time to learn the ropes so i think thats been a good Learning Curve for him the nation is trying to come to terms with the loss of a queen of 70 years, and so i think that wed quite like a bit of steadiness and consistency. There are changes within government as well, so hopefully king charles will continue and maintain the High Standard that his mother has set. He and maintain the High Standard that his mother has set. His mother has set. He may not get as [am as his mother has set. He may not get as long as his his mother has set. He may not get as long as his mother his mother has set. He may not get as long as his mother to his mother has set. He may not get as long as his mother to make his mother has set. He may not get as long as his mother to make his l as long as his mother to make his mark but King Charles Iiis rain could yet turn out to be one of the most decisive eras in his nation is long constitutional history. Hello there were beginning to see signs of a change in the weather now with Thickening Cloud towards the south west.

Should be increasing amounts of sunshine through wales and england and it will continue to be very mild for the time of year with highs of up to 19 degrees tomorrow afternoon. This is bbc news. The headlines at ii. Chancellorjeremy hunt has been pictured in the back of a car leaving chequers, the prime ministers country retreat, after meeting liz truss to discuss the governments economic plans. Jeremy hunt tells the bbc that nothing is off the table over future tax changes, but says that the government will be compassionate. I receive enough letters from people demanding a contest. And i think graham brady, its chairman, may well go to liz truss and say that, unless she agrees to step down, then a contest will have to be held, the rules will have to be changed. If there is such a weight of opinion in the parliamentary party, we have to have a change, it will be affected, exactly how it is done and exactly under what mechanism, but
