is on paying respect to the queen and the new monarch. on saturday, a 21—gun salute will be carried out to pay tribute to king charles iii. neda tawfik, yogita lemey and anne soy. king charles�*s first televised address as monarch has already been seen in parts by millions of people around the world, as well as the warmest of tributes to his mother, queen elizabeth, it gives us the first insight into the sort of king he will be. here's what he said in full. i speak to you today with feelings of profound sorrow. throughout her life, her majesty the queen — my beloved mother — was an inspiration and example to me and to all my family, and we owe her the most heartfelt debt any family can owe to their mother; for her love, affection, guidance, understanding and example. queen elizabeth's was a life well lived; a promise with destiny kept and she is mourned most deeply in her passing. that promise of lifelong service i renew to you all today. alongside the personal grief that all my family are feeling, we also share with so many of you in the united kingdom, in all the countries where the queen was head of state, in the commonwealth and across the world, a deep sense of gratitude for the more than 70 years in which my mother, as queen, served the people of so many nations. in 1947, on her 21st birthday, she pledged in a broadcast from cape town to the commonwealth to devote her life, whether it be short or long, to the service of her peoples. that was more than a promise: it was a profound personal commitment which defined her whole life. she made sacrifices for duty. her dedication and devotion as sovereign never wavered, through times of change and progress, through times ofjoy and celebration, and through times of sadness and loss. in her life of service we saw that abiding love of tradition, together with that fearless embrace of progress, which make us great as nations. the affection, admiration and respect she inspired became the hallmark of her reign. and, as every member of my family can testify, she combined these qualities with warmth, humour and an unerring ability always to see the best in people. i pay tribute to my mother's memory and i honour her life of service. i know that her death brings great sadness to so many of you, and i share that sense of loss, beyond measure, with you all. when the queen came to the throne, britain and the world were still coping with the privations and aftermath of the second world war, and still living by the conventions of earlier times. in the course of the last 70 years, we have seen our society become one of many cultures and many faiths. the institutions of the state have changed in turn. but, through all changes and challenges, our nation and the wider family of realms — of whose talents, traditions and achievements i am so inexpressibly proud — have prospered and flourished. our values have remained, and must remain, constant. the role and the duties of monarchy also remain, as does the sovereign�*s particular relationship and responsibility towards the church of england — the church in which my own faith is so deeply rooted. in that faith, and the values it inspires, i have been brought up to cherish a sense of duty to others, and to hold in the greatest respect the precious traditions, freedoms and responsibilities of our unique history and our system of parliamentary government. as the queen herself did with such unswerving devotion, i too now solemnly pledge myself, throughout the remaining time god grants me, to uphold the constitutional principles at the heart of our nation. and wherever you may live in the united kingdom, or in the realms and territories across the world, and whatever may be your background or beliefs, i shall endeavour to serve you with loyalty, respect and love, as i have throughout my life. my life will of course change as i take up my new responsibilities. it will no longer be possible for me to give so much of my time and energies to the charities and issues for which i care so deeply. but i know this important work will go on in the trusted hands of others. this is also a time of change for my family. i count on the loving help of my darling wife, camilla. in recognition of her own loyal public service since our marriage 17 years ago, she becomes my queen consort. i know she will bring to the demands of her new role the steadfast devotion to duty on which i have come to rely so much. as my heir, william now assumes the scottish titles which have meant so much to me. he succeeds me as duke of cornwall and takes on the responsibilities for the duchy of cornwall which i have undertaken for more than five decades. today, i am proud to create him prince of wales, tywysog cymru, the country whose title i have been so greatly privileged to bear during so much of my life and duty. with catherine beside him, our new prince and princess of wales will, i know, continue to inspire and lead our national conversations, helping to bring the marginal to the centre ground where vital help can be given. i want also to express my love for harry and meghan as they continue to build their lives overseas. in a little over a week's time we will come together as a nation, as a commonwealth and indeed a global community, to lay my beloved mother to rest. in our sorrow, let us remember and draw strength from the light of her example. on behalf of all my family, i can only offer the most sincere and heartfelt thanks for your condolences and support. they mean more to me than i can ever possibly express. and to my darling mama, as you begin your last great journey tojoin my dear late papa, i want simply to say this: thank you. thank you for your love and devotion to our family and to the family of nations you have served so diligently all these years. may flights of angels sing thee to thy rest. the first televised address by king charles as monarch, being tribute to the queen. the queen's long life was marked by modesty and discretion, and that meant that rarely during her life did we hear her speak about things that concerned her. and while there has been plenty said about her since her passing, for now, we will leave you this hour with an insight into the remarkable life of her majesty in her own words. i didn't have an apprenticeship. my father died much too young, and so it was all a very sudden kind of taking on and making the bestjob you can. it's a question of maturing into something that one has got used to doing, no longer an imperial power, we have been coming to terms with what this means for ourselves and for our relations with the rest of the world. we have forged new links with other countries and injoining the european economic communities, we have taken what is perhaps one of the most significant decisions during my reign. developments in science, technology and in medicine have improved the quality of life and the comfort of life. and of course, there has also been television. clothes wise, does it look all right with the background? yes, it does. i mean, it would be awful if you said no! laughs yes, it's all right. whenever you're ready, ma'am. red and green should never be seen. never mind. # send her victorious. ..# it's not the new inventions which are the difficulty. the trouble is caused by unthinking people who carelessly throw away ageless ideals as if they were old and outworn machinery. they would have religion thrown aside, morality in personal and public life made meaningless, honesty counted as foolishness and self—interest set up in place of self—restraint. at this critical moment in our history, we will certainly lose the trust and respect of the world if we just abandon those fundamental principles which guided the men and women who built the greatness of this country and commonwealth. most people have a job and then they go home, on together because you can't really divide it up. the boxes and the communications just keep on coming. and, of course, in modern communications, they come even quicker. i mean, luckily i'm a quick reader, though i do rather begrudge some of the hours that i have to do instead of being outdoors. i have had quite a lot of prime ministers, starting with winston, and some stayed longer than others. the prime minister, your majesty. or they tell me what's going on in a crowd. they know that one can be impartial, so to speak. i think it's rather nice to feel that one's a sort of sponge. and everybody can come and tell one things and some things stay there and some things go out the other ear, and in may, one never knows, does one? really. so that's something like that. and that one. the venerable thomas dyson. i'm always absolutely fascinated by the people who come and all the things that they've done. i think that's very important, that the system does discover people who do unsung things, you know. and i think that's very satisfactory. lovely. it's a very dingy world otherwise. definitive edition of the plays ofjm barrie. peter pan. he was the most wonderful storyteller. absolutely. as children, we used to go to tea and he'd tell the most wonderful stories. did he? yes, he just happened to be the sort of person that could tell children's stories. it didn't matter if you were just sitting at the tea table. and of course, boringly, one was a small child, one didn't realise what a good storyteller one was listening to. if only one had known. love that. we as children spoke from here at windsor to children who had been evacuated from their homes and sent away for their own safety. thousands of you in this country have had to leave your homes and be separated from your fathers and mothers. when prince philip and i were married on this day 50 years ago, prince philip had served in the royal navy in the far east i remember lines of unknown people linking arms and walking down whitehall. i think it was one of the most memorable nights of my life. gunfire and it has its own compensations. to take a more balanced view of events and be more understanding about the foibles of human nature. like everyone else, i learn about what is going on in the world from the media. but i'm fortunate to have another source of information. every day, hundreds of letters come to my desk. and i make a point of reading as many of them as i possibly can. i don't open all of them, obviously, because i don't have time to do that. but it does certainly give me, i suppose, because one gets perhaps even sort of a bit more remote, it gives one an idea of what is worrying people and what actually they feel that i could do to help. i think in a way, when one feels that there is a sort of, and that i'm the one... "i've been going round and round in circles, "but you are the only person who can stop the circle "and you'll be able to to fix it." i thought that was rather nice. but there are a few letters which reflect the darker side of human nature. it is only too easy for passionate loyalty to one's own country, race or religion, to be corroded into intolerance, bigotry and, ultimately, into violence. loud explosion we have witnessed some frightening examples the problems of progress, the complexities of modern administration, the feeling that metropolitan government is too remote from the lives of ordinary men and women. these, among other things, have helped to revive an awareness of historic national identities in these islands. they provide the background for the continuing and keen discussion of proposals for devolution to scotland and wales within the united kingdom. i number kings and queens of england and of scotland and princes of wales among my ancestors, and so i can readily understand these aspirations. but i cannot forget that i was crowned queen there can be no doubt, of course, no institution, city, monarchy, whatever, should expect to be free from the scrutiny of those who give it their loyalty and support. not to mention those who don't. but we are all part of the same fabric of our national society, and that scrutiny by one part of another can be just as effective if it is made with a touch of gentleness, good humour and understanding. this sort of questioning can also act, to her death. but at least the message is a clear one for all to read. but read it we must. in the good times and the bad we are deeply grateful to you, each and every one. my goodness, i've been busy. i declare before you all, that my whole life, whether it be long or short, shall be devoted to your service. god help me to make good my vow, and god bless all of you who are willing to share in it. while we may have more still to endure, better days will return. we will be with ourfriends again. we will be with ourfamilies again. we will meet again. i will start this forecast with a look at the big picture in the atlantic because after a very quiet august for tropical storms, this week we have seen two different storm systems. this one here, the swell of cloud was tropical storm danielle, and both of these are likely to have an indirect influence on our weather over the next seven to ten days. in the next seven to ten days. in the short term we have had an area of low pressure with us over the last few days but that is now pushing eastwards. i pressure building behind and that means that for saturday we are expecting more in the way of dry weather. there will still be some showers where you are close to that low across parts of eastern england, disbanded cloud bringing patchy rain, but we will see some spells of sunshine, the birth of that through the day to be found across northern ireland and scotland. temperatures between 18—22 degrees, it will feel fairly pleasant in the sunshine. through saturday night, we do see this frontal system gathering out towards the west, and that will bring rain for some of us on sunday, some quite heavy bursts of rain pushing in across northern ireland, cloud will tend to fill in across western scotland, some rain here late in the day, see rain grazing into wales, maybe the far south—west of england. most other areas staying dry with some spells of sunshine, but a shift in the wind direction, a southerly wind will start to make it feel a little warmer. if we look at monday's weather chart, this big low spinning down here to the south—west, this will contain the remnants of what was tropical storm danielle, most of the rain from that will be moving in across spain and portugal, pretty soggy spell of weather to come. but what the storm system will do is it will feed some warmth northwards into the southern half of the uk, so some quite high temperatures on monday across parts of southern england into wales, to the south of this band of cloud and rain, that will be sitting across central parts and that will separate the warm air in the south, 26, from much cooler air further north, a much fresher feel for scotland, northern ireland and the far north—west of england. it looks like that band of rain will sink its way southwards into tuesday, so some rain across southern counties, behind that the wind direction shifts back to northerlies this time, so it will feel cooler. 17—23 degrees, but there should still be some good swells —— spells of sunshine. that is because high pressure is likely to be building in by this stage, still low pressure spinning to the south of us that may throw a frontal system into southern counties of england, maybe parts of south wales as we go through the day on wednesday. at this range, the detail may change, but for many, we should see some spells of sunshine, perhaps some cloud filtering into some of these northern and eastern coasts. top temperatures of 17 for glasgow, for belfast, 20 for plymouth, 21 in london. later in the week, i want to point out this area of low pressure, likely contain the remnants of hurricane earl. it looks like that might get scooped up by another low pushing out of north america, that will push wet weather northwards and it will help to build this area of high pressure, this looks set to build quite strongly across the uk as we head towards next weekend, and that will cause things to turn drier, but with a brisk northerly wind, it is likely to feel a little cooler. welcome to bbc news, with continuing coverage reflecting on the life and death of her majesty queen elizabeth. loyalty and love: king charles iii pledges to respectfully serve the people, after his own tribute to the late queen. to my darling mama, as you begin your last great journey to join my dear late papa, i want simply to say this — thank you. as the throne passes from mother to son, those who got to know the queen well share their memories. these were not meetings with a high and mighty monarch, but a conversation with a woman of experience and knowledge and immense wisdom.
