Crowds pay respect to the late Queen
Thousands of people gather in Scotland to hold a vigil for the Queen
Queen Elizabeth II has been remembered in a service of prayer and reflection at St Giles's Cathedral in the Scottish capital, Edinburgh. The Queen will lie at rest in the cathedral until Tuesday afternoon, allowing members of the public to pay their last respects. Huge crowds are gathering around the Cathedral to hold a vigil. We’ll explain today’s and this week’s proceedings and hear from people in Edinburgh.
We bring together people in the Commonwealth countries to remember the Queen’s visit to their countries.
Also in the programme, we hear the latest update on the war in Ukraine, where the military are retaking vast swathes of the country from Russian forces. We also hear how Russian media are reporting it.
