1
00:00:01,800 --> 00:00:04,880
Speaker 1: Big night last night. Over four billion people as we

2
00:00:04,920 --> 00:00:08,000
Speaker 1: heard earlier watching the queen's funeral last night. One of

3
00:00:08,039 --> 00:00:10,840
Speaker 1: those is Channel seven News reporter Bianca Stone. She joins

4
00:00:10,920 --> 00:00:16,040
Speaker 1: us on the line now from the grounds of Windsor Castle. Morning, Bianca. Oh,

5
00:00:16,079 --> 00:00:17,759
Speaker 1: hang on, I've got to press the right button here

6
00:00:17,800 --> 00:00:19,800
Speaker 1: and get bianchor on. Morning Bianca, Good.

7
00:00:19,600 --> 00:00:23,120
Speaker 2: Morning from Windsor Castle. A beautiful evening here in London.

8
00:00:23,160 --> 00:00:25,840
Speaker 2: A little bit of light rain around, but nothing that

9
00:00:25,880 --> 00:00:26,560
Speaker 2: could rain on the.

10
00:00:26,600 --> 00:00:31,200
Speaker 3: Queen's great today, Bianca, it has been an incredible ten

11
00:00:31,320 --> 00:00:35,240
Speaker 3: days of morning. We've seen the world come together. How

12
00:00:35,360 --> 00:00:39,000
Speaker 3: was it yesterday or last night for us?

13
00:00:39,240 --> 00:00:43,599
Speaker 2: Oh? Look, it's a whirlwind of emotions really, because it

14
00:00:43,680 --> 00:00:47,520
Speaker 2: was just so spectacular. It was stunning in every sense,

15
00:00:47,880 --> 00:00:50,400
Speaker 2: as far as the pageantry goes, as far as the

16
00:00:50,440 --> 00:00:53,640
Speaker 2: beauty of it all goes. But it was also really emotional.

17
00:00:54,520 --> 00:00:56,960
Speaker 2: I never thought I'd be as emotional for a you know,

18
00:00:57,000 --> 00:00:58,880
Speaker 2: a ninety six year old woman that I've never met,

19
00:00:58,880 --> 00:01:01,160
Speaker 2: but I think everyone feels would be connected to the queen,

20
00:01:01,240 --> 00:01:04,720
Speaker 2: and they just did it so well. They did her justice.

21
00:01:05,240 --> 00:01:08,839
Speaker 2: The service is beautiful in all services.

22
00:01:08,840 --> 00:01:13,000
Speaker 4: The procession included, so all of that hope and ceremony

23
00:01:13,040 --> 00:01:15,759
Speaker 4: and symbolism was just incredible to witness.

24
00:01:16,040 --> 00:01:18,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, because somebody said to me last night that no

25
00:01:18,240 --> 00:01:21,399
Speaker 1: other country could do what Britain has done over the

26
00:01:21,440 --> 00:01:24,480
Speaker 1: past week or two in terms of paying respect to

27
00:01:24,520 --> 00:01:27,240
Speaker 1: a leader like that. Couldn't imagine America doing that. Can't

28
00:01:27,280 --> 00:01:30,160
Speaker 1: really imagine even Australia being that reverenced.

29
00:01:31,880 --> 00:01:35,560
Speaker 4: Well, yeah, imagine, So you change your Prime Minister and

30
00:01:35,600 --> 00:01:38,399
Speaker 4: then you change your head of state in one week

31
00:01:38,680 --> 00:01:41,440
Speaker 4: with all of that happened in one week, without any gunfire,

32
00:01:41,440 --> 00:01:44,959
Speaker 4: without any bloodshed, without any protests in the streets, with

33
00:01:45,080 --> 00:01:48,920
Speaker 4: just this beautiful service for a woman who has served

34
00:01:48,920 --> 00:01:49,880
Speaker 4: her entire life.

35
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:53,840
Speaker 2: So it's so much change for everyone here in London.

36
00:01:53,880 --> 00:01:55,760
Speaker 2: But they've just done it so well in the UK.

37
00:01:56,120 --> 00:01:58,840
Speaker 3: The end of the world now looks to King Charles

38
00:01:58,920 --> 00:02:03,760
Speaker 3: and he's next moments. I guess when Queen Elizabeth took

39
00:02:03,800 --> 00:02:06,000
Speaker 3: over the throne, you know she had to open the

40
00:02:06,040 --> 00:02:10,639
Speaker 3: red box and get on with things after the ten days,

41
00:02:10,320 --> 00:02:13,760
Speaker 3: what's in store for King Charles in the next few

42
00:02:13,840 --> 00:02:16,040
Speaker 3: days or do they call it the first hundred days

43
00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:18,320
Speaker 3: like they do for the president in America.

44
00:02:19,480 --> 00:02:22,040
Speaker 2: No, he's already well and truly into that. He would

45
00:02:22,040 --> 00:02:24,560
Speaker 2: have been into that red box, you know, as soon

46
00:02:24,560 --> 00:02:26,440
Speaker 2: as he could. He would be straight down to work.

47
00:02:26,480 --> 00:02:28,560
Speaker 2: He knows what needs to be done. He knows what

48
00:02:28,639 --> 00:02:30,120
Speaker 2: needs to be done to secure the future of the

49
00:02:30,120 --> 00:02:32,480
Speaker 2: monarchy as well, and part of that will be pressing

50
00:02:32,480 --> 00:02:36,000
Speaker 2: the flesh and really suring up both common what's come through.

51
00:02:36,040 --> 00:02:37,959
Speaker 2: So we are likely to say a royal visit down

52
00:02:38,080 --> 00:02:41,520
Speaker 2: Under in the near future. I would expect Prince William

53
00:02:41,560 --> 00:02:44,440
Speaker 2: and Catherine and the children to come down, probably sometime

54
00:02:44,520 --> 00:02:47,280
Speaker 2: early next year. That's what the talk's been about outcom

55
00:02:47,280 --> 00:02:50,040
Speaker 2: in San anti ABERESI certainly said to Prince Charles he's

56
00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:53,280
Speaker 2: or King Charles, he's welcome any time. Even though Anthony

57
00:02:53,320 --> 00:02:57,520
Speaker 2: Albanesi is still, you know, behind a republic. He definitely

58
00:02:57,560 --> 00:02:58,959
Speaker 2: said he was welcome. So that's what we need to

59
00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:01,440
Speaker 2: do to invite. Think that's how the procedure has to work.

60
00:03:01,480 --> 00:03:03,840
Speaker 2: But yeah, you'd expect to see. Child's pretty busy. Look,

61
00:03:03,880 --> 00:03:06,160
Speaker 2: I hope you have some time to reflect because as

62
00:03:06,520 --> 00:03:09,000
Speaker 2: we all know, we've we all lost someone. The time

63
00:03:09,040 --> 00:03:11,320
Speaker 2: after the funeral is the time when you really get

64
00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:14,400
Speaker 2: that real grief, when you stop being busy. So I

65
00:03:14,440 --> 00:03:16,200
Speaker 2: hopefully does have a bit of a chance to reflect

66
00:03:16,240 --> 00:03:18,720
Speaker 2: on what's happened, and then we will move on.

67
00:03:19,040 --> 00:03:21,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's certainly time for a bit of a liedown,

68
00:03:21,320 --> 00:03:23,640
Speaker 1: I think for just about everyone, including yourself, BI anchor,

69
00:03:23,639 --> 00:03:25,560
Speaker 1: and the rest of the Channel seventeen, you've done an

70
00:03:25,600 --> 00:03:28,720
Speaker 1: absolutely sterling job of covering what I suspect is probably

71
00:03:28,720 --> 00:03:30,080
Speaker 1: one of the biggest stories of your life.

72
00:03:31,400 --> 00:03:34,760
Speaker 2: Absolutely the biggest story, yeah, of my career so far enough.

73
00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:37,240
Speaker 2: It's been an honor and a privilege, and now I

74
00:03:37,280 --> 00:03:37,840
Speaker 2: need to go to.

75
00:03:37,800 --> 00:03:41,920
Speaker 3: Bed as soon as mine to do that.

76
00:03:42,280 --> 00:03:44,280
Speaker 1: Thank you, be anchor, appreciate that

77
00:03:45,840 --> 00:03:46,480
Speaker 2: Over and out.
