THE COFFIN AND SAY THEIR FINAL
GOOD-BYES TO THE QUEEN.
WE WATCHED JUST AROUND 4:20 IN
THE AFTERNOON, THE CASKET WAS
TAKEN OUT OF THE CATHEDRAL INTO
THE HEARSE ACCOMPANY BID
PRINCESS A.M., IT WAS TAKEN OUT
TO SILENCE FROM THE CROWD AND AS
IT MADE ITS WAY TO THE AIRPORT,
YOU SAW PEOPLE ALL OVER LINING
THE ROADWAYS SO IT WILL BE FLOWN
ON ROYAL AIR FORCE AIRCRAFT,
COMING HERE TO LONDON, LIKE I
MENTIONED PRINCESS ANN ON THAT
FLIGHT WITH HER HUSBAND AND IT
WOULD HEAD STRAIGHT TO
BUCKINGHAM PALACE.
>>> THE KING AND QUEEN CONCERT
LEAVING IRELAND.
>> THIS TIME OF MOURNING THE
KING [INDISCERNIBLE] TO MEET THE
POLL IT IT ISES THERE BECAUSE OF
COURSE GREAT BRITAIN IS GREAT
BRITAIN.

MOMENTOUS AND HISTORIC CHANGES.
THROUGH ALL THOSE YEARS SHE
NEVER CEASED THE PRAY FOR THE
BEST OF TIMES, FOR THIS PLACE
AND ITS PEOPLE.

SCOTLAND LINED UP TO GET THEIR
CHANCE TO SAY GOOD-BYE TO THE
QUEEN IN EDINBURGH.

MARKS.
PRINCESS ANN WILL BE BY HER
MOTHER’S SIDE.
AND OVERNIGHT IN LONDON AN EARLY
MORNING REHEARSAL, THOUSANDS OF
SOLDIERS GATHERING AT BUCKINGHAM

SO AGAIN, THE CASKET WILL ARRIVE
AT THE PALACE TODAY AND TOMORROW
WILL BE THE PROCESSION TO TAKE
IT TO WESTMINSTER HALL WHERE THE
QUEEN WILL LIE IN STATE FOR FOUR
DAYS BEFORE HER FUNERAL ON
MONDAY.
THE KING AND QUEEN CONSORT WILL
BE HERE FOR THE ARRIVAL OF THE
CASKET AS ARE SO MANY PEOPLE IF
AROUND THE WORLD.
WE ARE STANDING HERE AND PEOPLE
HAVE BEEN MAKING THEIR WAY HERE
FOR SEVERAL DAYS SINCE THE
ANNOUNCEMENT OF THE QUEEN’S
DEATH TO LEAVE THEIR FLOWERS AND
CARDS AND I AND TELL YOU IT HAS
NOT STOPPED, THE AMOUNT OF
PEOPLE COMING HERE AND THE QUEEN
FEELS LIKE A PART OF THEIR
FAMILY.
SHE’S BEEN AROUND FOR 70 YEARS
SO IT’S ALMOST FITTING THAT
THEY’RE HERE FOR HER.
WE SPOKE TO SOME PEOPLE THAT ARE
CAMPING OUT AND SAY SAY A FEW
DAYS IS NOTHING COMPARED TO THE
SERVICE SHE HAS PROVIDED TO
THEM.
>>> AND AS WE’RE TALKING TO YOU
WE OBVIOUSLY SEE PEOPLE WALKING
AROUND SO IN TERMS OF CROWD SIZE
WHAT ARE THEY EXPECTING TODAY
VERSUS THE DAY OF THE FUNERAL?
I IMAGINE THE DAY OF THE FUNERAL
IT’S GOING TO BE TENs OF
THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE LIKING THE
STREETS.
>> FOR THE FUNERAL THEY’RE
EXPECTING UP TO A MILLION PEOPLE
TO BE HERE.
AS FOR TODAY WE’VE SEEN SOME
NEWS OUTLETS REPORTING UP TO
400,000.
WE’VE SEEN I WOULD SAY ALREADY
THOUSAND BYES BY THIS POINT AND
SOME PEOPLE COMING AND GOING,
JUST TO PAY THEIR RESPECTS AND
LIVE LEAVE THEIR FLOWERS AND
CARDS.
SO I DID WANT TO SHOW YOU THE
TIMES, RECORD-BREAKING REPORTING
IS THAT MOURNERS WARNED OF A 35
HOUR WAIT.
SO THEY’RE THINKING ABOUT
SHUTTING DOWN LINES SO PEOPLE
DON’T GET DISAPPOINTED IF THEY
DON’T GET A CHANCE TO PAY THEIR
RESPECTS SO IT IS A LOT OF
PEOPLE TODAY AND LEADING UP TO
THE FUNERAL BECAUSE SHE WILL LIE
IN STATE FOR FOUR DAYS SO I
EXPECT THE NUMBER TO BE CLOSE TO
A MILLION.
>>> WOW.
SO MUCH AREN’T FOR THE QUEEN,
THANK YOU SO MUCH NICOLE.

LONDON LATER TODAY AND YOU CAN
