Okay, folks, I want to welcome you all, please, to a very special edition of life on Planet Porky.

We did not have a Planet Porky podcast last week.

Ms Jones and I decided to suspend it for the week to honour our late Queen, Queen Elizabeth II,

who of course passed away at the end of the previous week.

And what a week of morning that has been.

Ms Jones and I now are going to pay our tribute to our Queen,

but can I tell you that as we are recording this podcast,

the Westminster Hall, where Her Majesty's Body, has been lying in state

for four days, has just closed. You won't believe that, but at 6.30 a.m. this morning,

Westminster Hall closed. And in just over an hour's time, the Westminster Abbey Pughes will open to start accommodating the thousands of guests who are attending the funeral, which is going to be the biggest televised event in the history of the world.

Such is the interest in our monarchy,

and in particular the late, and in my opinion, very great Queen Elizabeth II,

who ruled for 70 years.

Ms. Jones, a very good morning to you.

These are the sort of podcast you don't want to do,

but because of the role that Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II, had in our lives,

I think it's only proper and fitting that we let our audience,

who listen to Planet Porky each week, know exactly how we've interpreted what's gone on

and how we're thinking.

Indeed. Good morning, Mr. Parry. And yes, it's an event we all anticipated. We've known all our lives that this would come one day.

What's extraordinary is that they've been preparing for this all our lives as well, because clearly nobody ever had any idea when Her Majesty would die,

but they had to be ready for it because it's such a major operation, Operation London Bridge, as it was known.
