so the monarch has arrived inside the
Palace of Westminster and in
time-honored tradition the Union flag
having been lowered the royal standard
will soon be flying above the Victoria
Tower just on the banks there of the
River Thames just a signal that the
queen is in the building that there we
are
what beautiful timing and the in the
breeze the Royal Standard there
fluttering gently and signaling that the
the Queen has arrived
inside the Palace of Westminster
the top of the staircase we have the
Lord speaker and we have the leader of
the Commons followed by the Duke of
Norfolk there and the Lord Chancellor
and inside the lobby area if you like
just outside the robing room there
awaiting the Queen's arrival and I think
that we're just to the left here of the
staircase but her Majesty very wisely
using the lift that's been handily
placed there just by the Robie room
itself so that it's it's a bit easier to
get in at this stage and in timely
fashion and there our glimpse our first
glimpse properly of Her Majesty being
welcomed by the moxa Trembley and the
Duke of Norfolk and making her way into
the robing room ready for the procession
into the House of Lords but in central
Lobby the police inspector getting ready
for the speaker's procession and the
order for strangers to take their hats
off
so the speaker is on his way so Lindsay
Heil his first state opening of
parliament having succeeded John Burke
oh just a few weeks ago at the end of
the last session
so we're waiting for the shout that says
that the speakers on his way
[Music]
well no doubt the speakers coming and
well waiting for the instruction
hats off strangers
strangers being those who are not
members of parliament the speaker's
procession which is a feature of daily
life in the Palace of Westminster and
sir Lindsey Hoyle I was a very popular
choice as Speaker of the House of
Commons respected on all sides as a
person of integrity and has been warmly
welcomes back into the Speaker's chair
after the election making his way and
his passage being announced in advance
into the members lobby of the House of
Commons where the members gather pick up
their messages and Celine's II
acknowledging lots of those who are
lightening the members Lobby Winston
Churchill there the statue on the left
and for me far more important David
Lloyd George on the right hand side and
I'm not taking any complaints from
viewers on that okay I just say that
