recent years in particular and the recent years in particular and there has been a sense of handover. i'm sure you have great empathy for him and his role. we i'm sure you have great empathy for him and his role.— him and his role. we will never see a better prepared _ him and his role. we will never see a better prepared person _ him and his role. we will never see a better prepared person for- him and his role. we will never see a better prepared person for such l him and his role. we will never see} a better prepared person for such a role. obviously having been waiting for that role, he said that period of time to get to know his country so well. great charities like the princes trust. these are ways of connecting with people that he could not have done if he at the time. people will know him. people people will have felt his empathy before he takes on the role. from day one with his speeches and coming out to see people outside buckingham palace and ben coming out on multiple occasions, you see the immediate connection with the people, how he wants to see them. he feels their hurt as much as they feel his and i

think you will be a wonderful king. unbelievably moving to cure those first shouts of god save the king from the public as he had that first moment connecting with the people after the passing of his mother when he was outside buckingham palace and thatis he was outside buckingham palace and that is underscoring that transition that is underscoring that transition that happens from the moment the monarch passes away that the next in line steps right up at the hardest of times when he is creeping the death of his mother. —— grieving. it is a big challenge. i think people like to wonder why you don't see too much crying and weeping and general signs of being very sad, but there is so much going on at this point in time of their lives both for his majesty, the prince of wales and the rest of the family. walking behind

his mother, their grandmother, but all the crowds being around you, this gives you a great strength. i'm sure there will be moments when they will sit back at home as a family, but in front of the public it gives you so much energy, so i think don't distinguish between not showing any signs of remorse is morejust pure strength given by the people that are just behind them and at that moment in time they are also keeping it to themselves. you moment in time they are also keeping it to themselves.— it to themselves. you have spoken of our it to themselves. you have spoken of your personal — it to themselves. you have spoken of your personal connection, _ it to themselves. you have spoken of your personal connection, your - your personal connection, your family links with the green, what do you think will be the legacy of queen elizabeth ii? undoubtably 70 ears is queen elizabeth ii? undoubtably 70 years is beyond _ queen elizabeth ii? undoubtably 70 years is beyond anybody. _ queen elizabeth ii? undoubtably 70 years is beyond anybody. beyond i years is beyond anybody. beyond anyone's lifetime. we have seen basically somebody who has been

through the second world war up until the abolition of the world not only in their own country here but her steadfastness of being the same person from day one one up to today, it without taking any interest in her own well—being, but also having evolved and opening up over time as a world evolved over time as well and so i think being that same person she was on the day she came to us as queen at 26 and the same person when she passed away having just received her new prime minister i think these are things we will always remember isjust i think these are things we will always remember is just being the same person. a lady, a mother, grandmother, great—grandmother the queen. grandmother, great-grandmother the queen. . ~' , . grandmother, great-grandmother the queen. ., ~ , . ., queen. thank you very much for 'oinin: queen. thank you very much for joining us- _

meant a huge amount to have seen the sheer scale and outpouring of people is love and affection for her late majesty. you went to westminster hall to see the lying in state, what was going through your mind at that moment to peer own tribute also to be among the thousands of people in front of westminster? the sheer silence of that space is i think one of the things that makes it so moving. alongside that, observing as you, that you are standing there alongside members of the public who have queued and waited as much as 20 or more hours to be there and share that same moment you having amongst everything else, i think the thing i will take away from that and this period isjust will take away from that and this period is just the will take away from that and this period isjust the beauty will take away from that and this period is just the beauty of the public response. the kindness you see from members of the public, the patient is, the comradejerry, that has been for me the most moving

tribute of all. the public response of the british people.— of the british people. there were ublic of the british people. there were public protest — of the british people. there were public protest when _ of the british people. there were public protest when she - of the british people. there were public protest when she visited i of the british people. there were i public protest when she visited new zealand and you say now it is inevitable that it will become a republic in your lifetime. essen inevitable that it will become a republic in your lifetime. even the queen has — republic in your lifetime. even the queen has acknowledged - republic in your lifetime. even the queen has acknowledged the i republic in your lifetime. even the i queen has acknowledged the abolition in our relationships over time. when she came to new zealand some decades ago she herself acknowledged that the treaty between indigenous new zealanders and the crown had been observed. that simple observation is still spoken of today because it demonstrated she was reflecting back her observation of the reality of new zealanders lives and so my... certainly this is just my observation, my observation is that will continue to be that in our

relationship. i don't think it will be quick or soon but over the course of my lifetime. b5 be quick or soon but over the course of my lifetime-— of my lifetime. as world leaders arrive for the _ of my lifetime. as world leaders arrive for the funeral, _ of my lifetime. as world leaders arrive for the funeral, not i of my lifetime. as world leaders arrive for the funeral, not every| arrive for the funeral, not every country has been invited. vladimir putin is off the list. the bbc understands syria and afghanistan didn't get asked either an ordered venezuela because the uk does not have full diplomatic relations with those countries. there will be one minute silence at apm tonight. downing street says liz truss will sand on the doorstep of number ten to mourning and reflect on the lifetime of queen elizabeth. earlier in the irish taoiseach arrived at downing street for a meeting with the british prime minister. she will have more meetings with others later

as well. let's go through some of the preparations for the state funeral. the service will be held on monday at 11am uk time. the coffin will be held at westminster abbey and members of the public will be able to view the ceremony on large screen being picked up in parks around the country. more than 100 cinemas will also screen the service. 2000 guests are expected to be in attendance at westminster abbey here in the heart of london. around 500 heads of states and dignitaries will also be attending including the prime ministers of canada, australia, and the us presidentjoe biden. 10,000 presidentjoe biden.10,000 metropolitan police officers are going to be deployed as part of the biggest security operation in the uk has ever seen. let's talk more about this with our home affairs

correspondent. looking around here, there are bands of police forces from all over the uk. it so noticeable. the police presence has been drafted in. is a noticeable. the police presence has been drafted in.— been drafted in. is a national mobilisation _ been drafted in. is a national mobilisation of _ been drafted in. is a national mobilisation of police - been drafted in. is a national. mobilisation of police officers. they've come from all across england and wales and also from scotland and northern ireland. almost every fourth in the united kingdom has contributed some officers. there will be more officers on the streets than ever deployed. notjust than ever deployed. not just metropolitan than ever deployed. notjust metropolitan police officers but police officers from right across the country. more police officers than the entire workforce of west midlands police which is the next biggest force in the uk. in the end todayis biggest force in the uk. in the end today isjust a biggest force in the uk. in the end today is just a tiny part of the size of the operation that's going to be required tomorrow. there are world leaders in town tonight and we expect most of the really senior world leaders at reception and

buckingham palace tonight. the security operation has already begun, but tomorrow we have gathered together in one small church building built 800 years ago with no real security perimeter and emperors, kings, queens, princesses, prime ministers, archbishops, generals, air marshals, admirals, anyone that somebody might want to attack is going to be there in one place and that is a huge, huge operation. {131 place and that is a huge, huge operation-— place and that is a huge, huge oeration. ., ., , ., operation. of that on its own were not enough _ operation. of that on its own were not enough you've _ operation. of that on its own were not enough you've also _ operation. of that on its own were not enough you've also got - operation. of that on its own were i not enough you've also got hundreds of thousands of people heading into london camping out on the streets, huge crowds of people everywhere. that's right and that's why the police are starting to say we need your help because in the end you can turn this into a fantastic security operation everybody on the ground is using their eyes and ears. they are asking people to be vigilant, not to be shy, to approach police officers

and say if something doesn't seem quite right. of course police will be watching cctv cameras, they have put in extra cctv cameras. even this morning i've seen people with binoculars on top of buildings overlooking parliament square. you can imagine how many police spotters will be out tomorrow. there are specially trained officers watching a crowd and those trained in unusual behaviour able to spot when someone is behaving slightly unusually. these are all techniques police use for other occasions, the state opening of parliament, remembrance sunday, big sporting events, isjust on a much, much bigger scale. it's much bigger than anything they've done before. this much bigger than anything they've done before-— done before. this is the biggest o eration done before. this is the biggest operation i've _ done before. this is the biggest operation i've ever _ done before. this is the biggest operation i've ever had? - done before. this is the biggest operation i've ever had? not i done before. this is the biggest i operation i've ever had? not only is it the biggest _ operation i've ever had? not only is it the biggest they've _ operation i've ever had? not only is it the biggest they've ever - operation i've ever had? not only is it the biggest they've ever done, i it the biggest they've ever done, they think it might be the biggest they think it might be the biggest they will ever have to do. they are not sure it will ever be as big as this ever again. if you imagine the

security these days at the g7 summit or at the g20 summit, how much planning was around that the secure perimeter that was around that, this is like a g20 summit times five and yet it is in this ancient church which is built before there were weapons or bombs or aircraft that could bring all the world leaders together. it's a completely unique operation, but the police believe that with the techniques i've used and this huge national mobilisation of police officers from all around the country that they can keep people safe, itjust is obviously an enormous and huge and complex operation to do so. bud enormous and huge and complex operation to do so.— enormous and huge and complex operation to do so. and then there's the matter of— operation to do so. and then there's the matter of this _ operation to do so. and then there's the matter of this queue _ operation to do so. and then there's the matter of this queue as - operation to do so. and then there's the matter of this queue as well i the matter of this queue as well managing all the people coming to that, walking along the thames day after day. the military also, so many people in europe uniform. there

with another queue, alan accessible queue with people with accessible needs. the bbc has spoken to several people queueing overnight to hope to be able to get into the accessible line, but found it had been shut when they arrived. this man travelled with his family from southampton and breathed the long wait despite republic from a quadruple heart bypass and cancer treatment in february. football remembers her late majesty queen elizabeth ii. i had quadruple heart bypass in february and i have the treatment damaged my arteries, i was hoping tojoin the treatment damaged my arteries, i was hoping to join the accessible hubert unfortunately they closed it down permanently. meanwhilejenny raath and her daughter katie travelled from norwich to pay their respects. 73—year—old jenny suffers from scoliosis and nerve pain

there you go. an emotional moment here as is being shared by many people all with their own stories, their own moments of reflections and i can tell you the weather forecast is a low of about 12 this evening, not as cold as it has been, hopefully that helps some of those queueing up for the next 1a hours as the saying behind me says. we are expecting there will be a government announcement that the queue will be closing in for anybody still hoping to get down here at the last moment, the cv will announce the closure on their social media channels. studio: we are watching that very closely, the live youtube feed the government has organised. it says a decision will be taken today when entry to the queue will close as it reaches final capacity. it will close and something like this won't be seen for a very long time. 1a errors is the estimate for those joining the queue at the end of the

queue. this is 30 hours later as people have walked through the night. theyjoined in the early hours. 12 or 13 hours ago and this is where they are coming through. it is where they are coming through. it is very condensed. generally moving steadily though people have reported but some people have reported at some point in the nights the queue would stop for an hour and you can imagine add to our three aem what that must feel like when you have been on your feet. that is when people have said they felt they tire as the approach here at westminster, there are many things to keep them occupied, lots of things to look around at and as you get to the security point before you go and you have to give up your food and drink

and the young men and women of the scouts have been running that day and night, doing eight hour shifts over 2a hours as volunteers. they are in charge, really running the show. it is very impressive to see the volunteer management of the queuein the volunteer management of the queue in so many parts of it. there are people offering all sorts of help and support, so much of it voluntary. people handing out sweets short way away. this is where the spirits left. people know the westminster hall they have been waiting to reach is not far. they will reach the top of the steps and and look at the site we have been watching for the fourth full day. it will make all the stops, all the waiting, the lack of sleep

worthwhile. back to you. that is the scene inside westminster hall where people keep on coming as we have heard. at some point later today, the queue will close because at 630 tomorrow morning, that is the moment westminster hall closest to the public. is thatjohnny mercer mp there? we are seeing on these pictures and mix sometimes of some well—known faces and mostly ordinary members of the public. who have spent hours and hours queueing for this moment. lovely smiling face there in that little uniform. as mum and daughter i assume come past. to

see the coffin. let me just bring you a brief tribute we have just received from the duke of york. a tribute to his late mother the queen. he said "mummy, your love for a son, your compassion, your care, your confidence, i will treasure forever. " just a brief comment we have just received from the duke of york. tribute to his late mother the queen. tribute to his late mother the queen. hundreds of thousands of people injapan have been urged to leave their homes, after warnings of "unprecedented" risks from an approaching storm. a special typhoon warning has been issued, as the south of the country braces for the arrival of what could the biggest storm in decades. rupert wingfield—hayes sent this report. typhoon nanmadol, which is a very, very large storm, is right over the top of the southern japanese island,

the eye of the storm came ashore late this afternoon and this storm is, as you said, declared by the japanese government a very dangerous storm, not a super typhon, it has not got to level 5, but just short of that. it is hundreds of kilometres across, packing winds of somewhere between 150 — 200 kilometres an hour, sustained winds, that is, gusting stronger. so it is a very dangerous situation. i think the big threat to life and to property is from the rain. it is carrying a huge, huge amount of moisture. meteorologists here from the japanese government are saying up to half—a—metre of water will fall over the island today and tonight and that will put massive pressure on the rivers. people living along rivers, near mountains, very mountainous country, they are the ones who are potentially in danger

and that is why there has been a large—scale evacuation order of people to go to local safety centres, where they can seek shelter from the storm. are people heeding that warning to leave their homes? some are and some aren't. this is always the case with these sorts of storms. some people will go, others will not want to leave their property. that is the danger. it is voluntary, not enforced. but japan has a very sophisticated and comprehensive system of emergency centres, emergency evacuation centres, where people are urged to take cover. they are strong buildings in safe areas. but of course, a lot of people do not want to leave property, animals, so they stay behind. are they able to do much to protect what they leave behind? not really. japan is a very mountainous country, it is a very rugged and beautiful country, but that means that most people live in fairly

narrow valleys, either against hillsides or close to rivers, and that is the real threat. i don't think it is the wind. japan is well protected against winds and waves, it has strong shore defences, but you cannot protect against vast very torrential rains and if the rivers burst their banks or if there are landslides, people's property and people will be in peril tonight. how long until it is going to hit? it's hitting already. the rivers are rising. the rivers are rising in kyushu. the storm is set to move tonight across into the main island and it will weaken, as it moves away from the coast, but it is still carrying a huge amount of moisture and we think there will be very torrential rain all the way up to tokyo in the next 2a hours. rupert wingfield—hayes. a strong earthquake has struck southeastern taiwan, bringing at least one building down

in a small town and tearing up roads. its initial strength was given as magnitude 7.2, but later downgraded to a 6.9 magnitude quake. japan's meteorological agency and the pacific tsunami warning center issued tsunami advisories shortly after the quake, but both later said there was no longer a threat of high waves. we have received the full statement from the duke of york is tribute to his mother. let me read it to you. it is short but there is a bit more than i brought you a few moments ago. "dear mummy, mother, your majesty, three in one. your majesty, it has been an honour and privilege to serve you. mother of the nation, your devotion and personal service to our nation is unique and singular. your people show your love and respect in so many different ways and i know you are looking on, honouring their respect. mummy, your

love for a son, your compassion, your care, your confidence, iwill treasure forever. i have found your knowledge and wisdom infinite with no boundary or containment. i will miss your insight, advice and humour. as our book of experience closes, another opens and i will forever hold you close to my heart with my deepest love and gratitude and i will tread gladly into the next with you as my guide." "god save the king." that statement from the duke of york. religion was a significant influence throughout the queen's 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 queen's 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. though there was a royal seat on a royal pew where she always sat. the queen was a very regular church—goer. if she was here, almost always would come to church. for 50 years, ken mackenzie was domestic chaplain to the queen, and he will be among those at windsor for her final 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 and i asked her what her favourite hymn was. she said to me that her fondest memory ever of a 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 queen's funeral. he says her knowledge of scripture is remarkable. of scripture was remarkable. she knows the psalms by heart and can recite them. so you can be in a conversation — one time she was going through quite a trying period, and we had been talking, and suddenly — "i lift up my eyes, the hills, whence cometh from the lord, the maker of heaven and earth." and you knew that whatever difficulties she was going through,

her anchor was in god. and it was the anchor of her faith that once led the queen to say this. the queen: as dark as death can be, particularly for those _ suffering with grief, light and life are greater. with me now is catherine butcher is author of "our faithful queen" and co—author of "the servant queen and the king she serves." welcome. lovely to be here. john sentamu was _ welcome. lovely to be here. john sentamu was on _ welcome. lovely to be here. john sentamu was on laura _ welcome. lovely to be here. john i sentamu was on laura kuenssberg's programme. he spoke of a moment he asked permission to programme. he spoke of a moment he asked permissio— asked permission to stand down as archbishop of _ asked permission to stand down as archbishop of york _ asked permission to stand down as archbishop of york and _ asked permission to stand down as archbishop of york and he - asked permission to stand down as archbishop of york and he asked i asked permission to stand down as. archbishop of york and he asked her to pray for him and he put his hands together and she put her hands around his and they were there in silence he said three minutes. at the end of which she said amen and

bible and she put it into practice. she sought to forgive, reached out to martin the guinness even though he was probably implicated in the death of her cousin lord mountbatten. , second cousin. she saw her life of service as a way to followjesus and the books that we wrote perhaps she wrote the foreword because we described her as the servant queen. in the letter that she wrote to us at the start of her platinum jubilee, she again described herself as, "your servant, elizabeth." she took that example from jesus christ. we are looking at all aspects. the queen's style has been documented through images, literature and as a desgin inspiration, as london fashion week continues this weekend in the uk the week began it began

with a minutes silence in tribute to queen elizabeth ii. in 2018 the late queen sat front row at richard quinn's show in london fashion where she awarded the designer the inaugural queen elizabeth ii award for british design. bethan holt, author of the queen: 70 years of majestic style and also the fashion news and features director at the telegraph spoke to me earlier. you it was all about what was right for her in her very unique role in the world. for her in her very unique role in the world-— for her in her very unique role in the world. ,, ., , , ., the world. she always said she had to be seem — the world. she always said she had to be seem to _ the world. she always said she had to be seem to be _ the world. she always said she had to be seem to be believed - the world. she always said she had to be seem to be believed which i the world. she always said she had to be seem to be believed which is| to be seem to be believed which is where the idea of her as a rainbow queen came from. she loved wearing

bright colours that meant even if you are right at the other end of the mall or right back in the crowd, you could see her lime—green or fuchsia. you could see her lime—green orfuchsia. i think she is going to remain a fashion inspiration for years to come. there is no one quite like her. as you say, her style transcended fashion. you how was it developed? she had fashion designers. norman hartnell was very well—known who worked with her early on. did she have an input input into the style? absolutely. in my research i found a lot of examples of designers saying i do

not dress the queen, i provide clothes for her and she dresses herself. she had strong opinions about it. in the 1950s, she was a fashionista. she wore those nipped—in waist, full skirts that were very fashionable at the time. she actually had a big influence on style herself. it was more the 1960s that she developed a way of dressing we knew herfor and loved herfor, right up to the end of her life. from all that time, in the 1960s up till now, is where we saw her do the bright colours and matching hats, the straight, tailored coats. that was a look she landed on and worked well for her and meant she did not have to worry too much about whether it was a maxi skirt or miniskirt in fashion at the time. even pictures we see of her wearing a headscarf, cardigan, a skirt, with her corgis. any of these images are so iconic. and look like they could be straight out of the pages of vogue.

she exuded presence whatever she was wearing. absolutely. she had innate style. when she was doing practical things like you referred to in her country attire. she loved being out riding, walking in the countryside. she still looked utterly immaculate. like she was more of a model doing that thing rather than out there doing it. headscarves are something she will be really remembered for. they were a personal passion of hers. the uniform, the bright colours, that was her doing herjob, whereas i think she genuinely loved her headscarves and i know she asked for them as birthday gifts. i hope that will be something that will always be linked to the queen. i wonder whether people will start to take on some of these elements of fashion almost maybe not a tribute, but we have seen so many images over

the past couple of weeks, it is a reminder of that style. absolutely. we have seen the royal family wearing pieces of her jewellery over the past week, so it would be lovely if the queen consort, the princess of wales, were seen in a silk headscarf in the months to come. you are watching bbc news. it is time for a look at the weather. the weather today is looking largely quiet and dry for many of you. however we do have thicker cloud compared with the last few days as you can see on the satellite picture, the clodius weather is across the north and east of the uk, close to these weather fronts. they will be one or two light showers but even though it is cloudy today, most of the cloud is still pretty high in the sky so there will be brighter spells pushing through time to time. to go through the rest of the day

there is the risk of a few showers, northern scotland, eastern areas of england, crossing the isle of man, tayside, greater manchester, the midlands but even these areas, there will be big gaps so you have a chance of it staying dry all day. temperatures about 15—17 but for the queen's lying—in—state it will probably stay dry just a queen's lying—in—state it will probably stay dryjust a small chance of a late day shower and for the state funeral tomorrow, again looking quite cloudy, there went a bit lighter and there will be bright spells at times. overnight tonight, cloud thickens across the north—west of the country and we end the night with a little bit of patchy rain working into the western isles. temperatures holding to double figures for some, otherwise with clear spells, temperatures about 7-9. a clear spells, temperatures about 7—9. a chilly start to the day for quite a few of you. the threat of light rain across the eastern areas but otherwise a dry day with a bit of cloud, bright or sunny spells.

temperatures coming up a degree, 16 for glasgow, 18 belfast, 18—19 for cardiff and london. that weekend stays quiet until we get to thursday when these more active weather fronts start to push in and they will bring heavy rain to north—western areas of the uk, weather front staggering towards the south—east by the end of the week. tuesday the thickest cloud across the areas, splashes of rain but no significant amount. variable cloud with bright or sunny spells and temperatures claiming a degree, up to 20 around the cardiff area. quite quiet until thursday when you see the wind pick—up, a band of rain moves from the western that could be heavy for a time. that is your weather. goodbye.

king charles meets with prime minister liz truss as final preparations continue for queen elizabeth's state funeral tomorrow. the king will also host a reception at buckingham palace for hundreds of world leaders and royals this evening. world leaders continue to arrive in the uk — us presidentjoe biden landed last night. people hoping to travel to london to file past the coffin are advised not to set off because the queue is likely to be closed in the next few hours. camilla, the queen consort, pays a personal tribute to queen elizabeth, saying she has been part of our lives forever. she's got those wonderful blue eyes that, when she smiles, you know, they light up her whole face. i'll always remember that smile, you know. that smile is unforgettable.
