Prince and Princess of Wales thank troops
William, the Prince of Wales, and his wife Kate, the Princess of Wales, are in Surrey to thank troops from the Commonwealth who are in the United Kingdom to participate in Monday's funeral.




Queen Elizabeth was buried with her husband, Prince Philip.
Britain's Queen Elizabeth II "died peacefully" on Thursday, Sept. 8, at Balmoral Castle, the British royal family's estate in Aberdeenshire, Scotland, according to a statement from Buckingham Palace. She was 96.
Elizabeth was Britain's longest-reigning monarch. She ascended to the throne in 1952 and, in June, celebrated her Platinum Jubilee, marking 70 years as queen.

Soccer star David Beckham was spotted waiting with fellow Brits in the hourslong queue to pay his respects to Queen Elizabeth II.

He told a reporter that his grandparents raised him to be a fan of the royal family.
As for the range of people waiting for hours in line, Beckham said there was an 84-year-old woman and a 90-year-old man.
"Everyone wants to be here and be a part of this experience and celebrate what Her Majesty has done for us," he said.

He lined up at 2 a.m. and waited over 12 hours before passing the queen's coffin.

King Charles and Camilla, the Queen Consort, are in Wales on Friday to meet with leaders and members of the public.


To the Welsh leaders, the king said, "Through all the years of her reign, the land of Wales could not have been closer to my mother’s heart."
"It was a privilege to be Prince of Wales for so long," Charles said. “Now my son, William, will bear the title. He has a deep love for Wales."
"I take up my new duties with immense gratitude for the privilege of having been able to serve as Prince of Wales," he said. "That ancient title, dating from the time of those great Welsh rulers, like Llywelyn ap Gruffudd, whose memory is still rightly honoured, I now pass to my son, William, whose love for this corner of the Earth is made all the greater by the years he himself has spent here."
Queen Elizabeth’s casket will lie in state throughout the day to allow the public to pay respects.
