1
00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:04,080
Speaker 1: David Wowood from Channel seven is on the line. Morning David,

2
00:00:04,080 --> 00:00:06,080
Speaker 1: morning guys, how are you going good? And I understand

3
00:00:06,160 --> 00:00:07,960
Speaker 1: you are in Edinburgh.

4
00:00:08,000 --> 00:00:10,560
Speaker 2: I am. I'm at the front of the Holyrood Palaces

5
00:00:10,600 --> 00:00:14,200
Speaker 2: here in Edinburgh, Scotland, and this is where the Queen's

6
00:00:14,320 --> 00:00:18,960
Speaker 2: casket today was delivered inside that hers Today it finally

7
00:00:19,239 --> 00:00:22,720
Speaker 2: has left Balmoral Palace, the Balmoralist state. Of course, we

8
00:00:22,760 --> 00:00:26,000
Speaker 2: know that is a place that the Queen absolutely loved.

9
00:00:26,040 --> 00:00:30,639
Speaker 2: She'd made that her pretty permanent house there towards the

10
00:00:30,720 --> 00:00:33,600
Speaker 2: end of her life. She loved how remote and quiet

11
00:00:33,640 --> 00:00:36,199
Speaker 2: it was. It was a happy place, where're told, and

12
00:00:36,240 --> 00:00:38,040
Speaker 2: now she's left it for a final time. And it

13
00:00:38,080 --> 00:00:40,600
Speaker 2: was a really beautiful day today that first leg of

14
00:00:40,640 --> 00:00:44,400
Speaker 2: this very long, very large funeral procession. She has made

15
00:00:44,440 --> 00:00:48,000
Speaker 2: her way through the Scottish countryside, a very slow trip

16
00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:51,640
Speaker 2: as well, a chance for all those people, thousands of

17
00:00:51,680 --> 00:00:54,000
Speaker 2: thousands of them to come out line the road and

18
00:00:54,040 --> 00:00:56,639
Speaker 2: pay their respect. We saw some beautiful images today. Look,

19
00:00:56,640 --> 00:00:58,680
Speaker 2: we know the Queen was a country woman at heart.

20
00:00:58,720 --> 00:01:01,040
Speaker 2: She loved all things rural and agricultural, and so we

21
00:01:01,080 --> 00:01:04,160
Speaker 2: saw that with some Scottish farmers even lining up their

22
00:01:04,200 --> 00:01:06,520
Speaker 2: tractors and their horses in a guard of honor. So

23
00:01:06,760 --> 00:01:09,319
Speaker 2: that's some really beautiful images today as they delivered her

24
00:01:09,600 --> 00:01:10,920
Speaker 2: coffin here to Holyrood.

25
00:01:11,240 --> 00:01:16,240
Speaker 3: So, David, is King Charles accompanying her on this or

26
00:01:16,280 --> 00:01:17,480
Speaker 3: has he returned to London?

27
00:01:17,800 --> 00:01:20,080
Speaker 2: So he not. He is still in London at the moment,

28
00:01:20,720 --> 00:01:24,440
Speaker 2: and the coffin her casket today was accompanied by her daughter.

29
00:01:24,520 --> 00:01:28,679
Speaker 2: And then tomorrow the new king, King Charles the Third,

30
00:01:28,840 --> 00:01:31,640
Speaker 2: he will come up here as part of his visit

31
00:01:31,720 --> 00:01:35,119
Speaker 2: to the British Isles now that he has been proclaimed king.

32
00:01:35,160 --> 00:01:37,480
Speaker 2: But he will be joined by his other siblings and

33
00:01:38,080 --> 00:01:41,040
Speaker 2: the two other brothers, and they will do a walk

34
00:01:41,080 --> 00:01:46,000
Speaker 2: today behind her casket on the way to Saint Giles Cathedral.

35
00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:47,760
Speaker 2: Now that is where it's just nearby, and that is

36
00:01:47,760 --> 00:01:51,480
Speaker 2: where her body will lay in state for twenty four

37
00:01:51,480 --> 00:01:53,680
Speaker 2: hours before it is then put on that ra of

38
00:01:53,720 --> 00:01:55,200
Speaker 2: flight and taken down to London.

39
00:01:55,400 --> 00:01:57,360
Speaker 4: Oh right, So, David, the start of the journey from

40
00:01:57,400 --> 00:01:59,440
Speaker 4: what you've seen, and the crowds, obviously, the crowds are

41
00:01:59,480 --> 00:02:01,560
Speaker 4: going to be very They're thick on the roadside on

42
00:02:01,560 --> 00:02:03,880
Speaker 4: the way through. But are they more somber or is

43
00:02:03,920 --> 00:02:05,920
Speaker 4: there more cheering for her majesty.

44
00:02:06,320 --> 00:02:09,000
Speaker 2: No, And it's funny that you say that, because I've

45
00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:10,360
Speaker 2: come up from London and there was a bit more

46
00:02:10,400 --> 00:02:13,880
Speaker 2: of a cheery atmosphere yesterday we saw the proclamation of

47
00:02:13,960 --> 00:02:15,560
Speaker 2: the new King, so there was a little bit of

48
00:02:15,560 --> 00:02:17,720
Speaker 2: a happier vibe and a lot of the flags were

49
00:02:17,760 --> 00:02:20,720
Speaker 2: at full masts yesterday to mark and celebrate that this

50
00:02:20,880 --> 00:02:24,359
Speaker 2: is still really a country. In morning, and we saw

51
00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:28,200
Speaker 2: that with those crowds, very quiet, very somber, respectful. They

52
00:02:28,200 --> 00:02:31,079
Speaker 2: were ten twelve, fifteen deep on the fence on the

53
00:02:31,160 --> 00:02:34,639
Speaker 2: Royal Mile here in Edinburgh in some places, and as

54
00:02:34,760 --> 00:02:36,920
Speaker 2: that casket was driven by, I was just so quiet.

55
00:02:36,960 --> 00:02:38,880
Speaker 2: No one said anything. You could hear a pin drop.

56
00:02:38,919 --> 00:02:41,720
Speaker 2: And then when the casket made its way to the

57
00:02:41,760 --> 00:02:45,519
Speaker 2: gates and the gates open, a really delicate, polite ripple

58
00:02:45,560 --> 00:02:48,480
Speaker 2: of a pause sort of opened up and that was it.

59
00:02:48,600 --> 00:02:52,200
Speaker 2: So yeah, a very respectful, very dignified day to day

60
00:02:52,200 --> 00:02:53,080
Speaker 2: here in Edinburgh.

61
00:02:53,680 --> 00:02:55,440
Speaker 1: The funeral will be next Monday.

62
00:02:56,040 --> 00:03:00,800
Speaker 3: What happens on that day are all businesses and everything's

63
00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:02,720
Speaker 3: supposed to close, yes.

64
00:03:02,600 --> 00:03:05,560
Speaker 2: So, and London's sort of already heading that way, but

65
00:03:05,600 --> 00:03:07,560
Speaker 2: we will see all those businesses closed. It is a

66
00:03:07,639 --> 00:03:10,760
Speaker 2: day of mourning. But before that, this is what the

67
00:03:10,800 --> 00:03:13,880
Speaker 2: police and authorities are really planning for because she has

68
00:03:13,919 --> 00:03:16,120
Speaker 2: four days of laying in state, so that is the

69
00:03:16,200 --> 00:03:19,720
Speaker 2: coffin inside Westminster there and it will give a chance

70
00:03:19,720 --> 00:03:23,040
Speaker 2: for people to actually file past. And it's not an

71
00:03:23,080 --> 00:03:26,240
Speaker 2: exaggeration day that they are expecting millions and millions, so

72
00:03:26,280 --> 00:03:28,639
Speaker 2: it's going to be tight security and it's going to

73
00:03:28,680 --> 00:03:30,360
Speaker 2: be busy. People are going to camp out on the

74
00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:33,440
Speaker 2: road overnight as just to get their chance to file pass,

75
00:03:33,560 --> 00:03:35,560
Speaker 2: to go off and pay their respects final goodbye.

76
00:03:36,080 --> 00:03:38,600
Speaker 4: Now, David, there must be bizarre. We're hearing God save

77
00:03:38,640 --> 00:03:39,920
Speaker 4: the King a heck of a lot now. But to

78
00:03:40,280 --> 00:03:42,440
Speaker 4: say King Charles, the third Prince of Wales is now

79
00:03:42,480 --> 00:03:45,440
Speaker 4: Wills and Camillo the Queen concert, it's a complete flip

80
00:03:45,440 --> 00:03:47,920
Speaker 4: for all of you reporting on these things, which will

81
00:03:47,920 --> 00:03:49,000
Speaker 4: take a little while to get used to it.

82
00:03:49,040 --> 00:03:50,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, you've got to get your head around that. I

83
00:03:51,280 --> 00:03:53,400
Speaker 2: won't lie. I think I did say Prince Charles a

84
00:03:53,440 --> 00:03:54,960
Speaker 2: couple of times last night, but I was in good

85
00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:56,920
Speaker 2: company a lot on the British podcast as if he

86
00:03:57,000 --> 00:03:58,680
Speaker 2: were having the same thing. Because there has been that

87
00:03:59,240 --> 00:04:01,840
Speaker 2: shake up now and you know knillus the Queen as

88
00:04:01,840 --> 00:04:03,920
Speaker 2: you say as well, so a few new things to

89
00:04:03,960 --> 00:04:04,600
Speaker 2: get used to there.

90
00:04:05,520 --> 00:04:08,960
Speaker 3: We have had a public holiday in Australia announced for

91
00:04:09,040 --> 00:04:11,960
Speaker 3: next Thursday as our day of Morning and then on

92
00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:15,920
Speaker 3: the Monday, David in Perth it's the Queen's Birthday long weekead.

93
00:04:16,400 --> 00:04:19,400
Speaker 3: I assume that will be probably the last one. The

94
00:04:19,520 --> 00:04:22,600
Speaker 3: next year it will be called the King's Birthday Long Weekend.

95
00:04:22,880 --> 00:04:23,880
Speaker 1: I think that's what happens.

96
00:04:23,960 --> 00:04:26,720
Speaker 2: Well, you'll have to switch it over now over to that.

97
00:04:26,800 --> 00:04:28,839
Speaker 2: And obviously, as you said before, you know, God saved

98
00:04:28,839 --> 00:04:30,720
Speaker 2: the King. There's all these things now that we've got

99
00:04:30,760 --> 00:04:33,039
Speaker 2: to get used to. Charles will be on our money soon,

100
00:04:33,080 --> 00:04:36,080
Speaker 2: our Australian money. So a few different changes from the

101
00:04:36,080 --> 00:04:36,960
Speaker 2: works now.

102
00:04:36,880 --> 00:04:38,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, David.

103
00:04:38,440 --> 00:04:41,400
Speaker 3: Well, we will continue to follow the progress through your

104
00:04:41,440 --> 00:04:43,279
Speaker 3: progress on Channel seven.

105
00:04:43,520 --> 00:04:45,080
Speaker 2: Thank you, Thanks so guys

106
00:04:45,120 --> 00:04:46,280
Speaker 4: Thanks David so well
