Episode description

The state funeral has been held for Queen Elizabeth II, as hundreds of thousands of people lined the streets of Westminster and Windsor, along with billions around the world, to watch and say goodbye.

Fergal Keane, who was commentating for BBC TV inside Westminster Abbey, and Katty Kay, who was presenting outside Buckingham Palace, reflect on the funeral of the longest-reigning monarch in British history.

And we catch up with Chris Mason to look at how the past 12 days have affected the country and its politics.

Today’s Newscast was made by Daniel Wittenberg with Cordelia Hemming and Miranda Slade. The technical producer was Emma Crowe. The editor is Jonathan Aspinwall.
