Hello, it's Adam in the newscast studio at New Broadcasting House and it's been another day of events, ritual, emotion, some quite stunning images as the country

pastribute to Queen Elizabeth II and welcomes King Charles III and I'm going to welcome back Chris Mason, hi Chris. Hello. Also joining us is our North America editor Sarah Smith, who is in Edinburgh. Hi Sarah.

Hi, I'm Sutton in the BBC studio in Edinburgh. Good to join you. Yes, so quite a few things have been happening today. Let's talk about them. So Sarah, all the news has really been kind of where you are in terms of the big ceremonial stuff today. And I think we can listen to the the procession of the Queen's coffin as it left the palace of Holy Rooftouse in Edinburgh and go up the Royal Mile towards St Giles Cathedral.

What was really amazing as the Queen's Courtaige left the gates of Holy Rooftouse was just how quiet it was. There were thousands and thousands of people absolutely packed into the Royal Mile waiting to see this. But they hardly made a sound. You could hear really clearly the hoves of the police horses on the cobbles as they went up the Royal Mile because the crowd were hardly making any noise at all.

And obviously we all knew what we were expecting. I was there with some TV cameras, all the others. People were there to take part in a moment of history. We knew that we were going to see the Queen's coffin in the house driving slowly up the Royal Mile. But the moment it came, it gave you a bit of a shock. Suddenly something that you would be watching on the television happening in real life in front of you.

And I think it kind of took everybody's breath away that in the sight of the King with his sister and his two brothers walking somberly behind the coffin and really, really close to all the people who were waiting there because the Royal Mile is this medieval thoroughfare that's really quite narrow and not really ideally suited to what was going on today.

So you had the crowds who were at least a dozen deep on either side of the road almost with in touching distance of the Courtaige and the King and the other members of the Royal Family who were there.

You know what, it's really striking listening so to your descriptions of Edinburgh today and comparing them and the parallels are really striking to me with being outside Buckingham Palace over the weekend.

I was there reporting and just watching the crowds who were waiting in anticipation of a walk about from the King which which happened. But the really striking thing, of course there was reflection, of course there were those with flowers or cards or paddington bears.

But the really striking thing was how polite the crowd was because this was lots of people jammed very close together.

You know, an Oxford Street in Central London on an Saturday afternoon. There can be an air of a bit of aggression in the air of people jostling and all the rest of it.

The exact opposite. Even though everyone was crammed together, people politely say, I know you go first and then I'll stand there in a second so that I can get a look and all that kind of thing.

Just a mood, a collective mood amongst a bunch of thousands of people who didn't know each other of polite, quiet reflection that I think would only happen in response to an event of this scale.

Well, I went down to Green Park today which is the park next door to Buckingham Palace because I had a couple of arrows free.

And what they've done is they've moved all the flowers that were outside the gates of Buckingham Palace over to Green Park. And it's almost a bit like a Chelsea flower show because they've made the flowers.

They're not just sort of like plunked them there in a big pile. They made them into these little mini gardens or these little kind of islands of flowers and you walk around and they're all in different shapes in different arrangements.

And it's very, yet very peaceful and just so much nicer than I expected a just big pile of flowers.

Now Chris, what is happening with Liz Truss? I don't know if that sounds like a slightly ridiculous question but in terms of is she going with the new king on his tour of the four nations of the UK or what because there's been a bit of confusion about what's actually happening?

That has and on what we've seen playing out here quite subtly and clearly in the background to a great degree because you know to what extent does this really matter.

But what we've seen here is two institutions with new figureheads who've both arrived in their roles at pretty much the same time, the new head of state, the king, the new head of government in Liz Truss.

And the workings in a very public week of their public interactions with one another.

So on Saturday afternoon, we as political journalists were briefed that the prime minister would be accompanying the king on this tour of the UK.
