TV series The Crown is halting production of its latest season, the show's creator Peter Morgan says.

Filming will stop on season six - which tells the story of Queen Elizabeth II's reign up to the early 2000s - "out of respect" for the Queen.

“The Crown is a love letter to her and I’ve nothing to add for now, just silence and respect. I expect we will stop filming out of respect too," Morgan told Deadline. , external

At the Old Bailey we’ve just had the first case called on in the name of the King.

The court usher said: “Silence be upstanding in court.

"All persons who have anything to do before My Lords and Ladies, the King’s Justices at the Central Criminal Court draw near and give your attendance.

God save the King.”

Large crowds are expected at Buckingham Palace and other royal residences causing delays to some public transport, the Cabinet Office says, as members of the public travel to pay their respects to the Queen.

"We expect significant crowding and delays on some public transport. The public should check ahead and plan accordingly," a statement from the Cabinet Office reads.

Access to some areas, especially in central London, will be restricted, with road closures and diversions that will cause delays to vehicles and pedestrians as planning for the State Funeral and related events get underway, it says.

It asks for floral tributes to placed only in designated areas near royal residences in London, Windsor, Edinburgh, Balmoral and Sandringham.

There’s a reflective mood this morning after yesterday’s sombre news.

People will have made their way to work past advertising boards and posters on public transport with tributes marking the Queen’s death.

But the practical process will have to begin making preparations for the state funeral and for King Charles III to present himself to the public and to politicians.

Even though he will be mourning as a son who has lost his mother, the King will face a tough round of public and constitutional duties.

After having spent the night at Balmoral he will return to London and hold the first audience with Prime Minister Liz Truss. Of course, she has only just started in the job and appeared this week in the last pictures seen of the Queen.

There will also be preparation for the new King’s televised address to the nation.

It is also going to be a day of more public demonstrations of mourning, with flags at half mast, flowers left outside royal palaces and a gun salute in Hyde Park.

There have been closures today of some venues, from Kew Gardens to Legoland.

An official online book of condolence, external has been opened on the Royal Family’s website.

Some of the biggest looming strike actions have been called off after the death of Queen Elizabeth II.

Unions representing Royal Mail postal workers and rail staff said that "out of respect for her service to the country and her family" they had chosen to cancel immediate strike action.

Planned strike action by postal workers on Friday 9 September and RMT rail worker strike action on 15 and 17 September is suspended, while the train drivers' union Aslef also postponed its walkout planned for 15 September.

The Rail Delivery Group said train timetables would be normal now that strikes were not going ahead.

The TSSA rail union has also cancelled planned industrial action for September and said it will be "respecting the period of public mourning".

A service of prayer and reflection following the death of the Queen will be held at St Paul's Cathedral in the City of London at 6pm today.

Some 2,000 seats will be allocated to the public on a first come first served basis, and the service will also be broadcast on the BBC.

Prime Minister Liz Truss and Mayor of London Sadiq Khan are expected to attend.

King Charles III's televised address to the nation will be played inside the cathedral if it coincides with the service.

I’m actually standing at the Cambridge Gate which has become the lay-down point for flowers and for people's notes.

And it’s where people have burst into a kind of subdued activity where people have come to pay their respects, to stand, to look, to reflect.

Two of those people are Steve and Nicola Brown.

Nicola said: "I just wanted to come and be able to share our grief.

"When it was her 90th birthday we came down to join in the crowds and a friend had told us that she liked yellow and white flowers, so we brought some.

"My friend was holding them out and she [the Queen] made a beeline for us and came over and spoke to us – we were just sort of in awe, I was blown away by her beautiful smile.

"I can’t even remember what she said but it was a moment."

After 70 years on the throne, we have become accustomed to seeing the Queen's portrait, profile and coat of arms across everyday objects such as coins and cereal boxes.

All 29 billion coins in circulation in the UK have the Queen's head on them.

The Royal Mint won't say how or when it will start issuing coins with King Charles III's head on them, but it's likely that the Queen's coins will remain in circulation for many years, and that the process to replace them will be a gradual one.

Since 1967, all stamps issued by the Royal Mail have featured an embossed silhouette of the side profile of Queen Elizabeth II.

Royal Mail will now stop producing Queen Elizabeth II stamps and will begin the process to create new ones.

The Royal seal is a frequent sight on items such as tomato ketchup and perfume - and for the last century or so the monarch, their consort and heir have issued their own warrants.

When a grantor dies, any Royal Warrants they issued become void and the company has two years to stop using the Royal Arms.

Regarding passports, they will still be valid, but new ones will have wording updated to His Majesty.

The Queen's state funeral is expected to take place at Westminster Abbey in less than two weeks. The exact day will be confirmed by Buckingham Palace.

On Friday, there will be a remembrance service at St Paul's Cathedral, attended by the prime minister and other senior ministers.

Because the Queen died in Scotland, her coffin will lie at rest at St Giles' Cathedral in Edinburgh. The public may be allowed to view the coffin after a few days.

The coffin will then be flown to London, where hundreds of thousands of people will be allowed to file past over a period of four days' lying in state at Westminster Hall.

On Friday, bells will toll in tribute to the Queen at Westminster Abbey, St Paul's Cathedral and Windsor Castle. Gun salutes of 96 rounds to mark each year of her life will be fired in Hyde Park and elsewhere.

The union flag will be flown at half mast on government buildings until the morning after the funeral. Flags will return to full mast for a 24-hour period beginning at 1pm on Saturday to mark the proclamation of Charles as King, before returning to half mast.

A period of mourning for the Royal Family will be observed from now until seven days after the Queen's funeral, Buckingham Palace says.

The date of the Queen's funeral has not yet been confirmed.

In a statement, external, Buckingham Palace says: "Following the death of Her Majesty The Queen, it is His Majesty The King's wish that a period of Royal Mourning be observed from now until seven days after The Queen’s Funeral."

Separate to national mourning, which the government is expected to outline today, Royal mourning is to be observed by "members of the Royal Family, Royal Household staff and Representatives of the Royal Household on official duties, together with troops committed to Ceremonial Duties".

People across the UK and the world are still reacting to the death of Queen Elizabeth II - but over the next few days there is a schedule of events and ceremonies planned. Not all the details are confirmed yet but here is what we know so far:

Friday

King Charles III will make his first speech as King, according to his spokesman. No time has yet been given for his remarks.

At midday, bells will toll in tribute to the Queen at Westminster Abbey, St Paul's Cathedral and Windsor Castle.

Gun salutes of 96 rounds to mark each year of her life will be fired in Hyde Park and elsewhere in the UK at 1pm.

A remembrance service is due to take place at St Paul's Cathedral in the evening.

Saturday

It is expected that Charles will be formally proclaimed King (although technically he became King the moment the Queen died). The ceremony will take place at St James's Palace in London in front of a ceremonial body known as the Accession Council.

At the meeting, the death of Queen Elizabeth will be announced and a traditional proclamation will be read aloud.

King Charles then attends a second meeting with the group where he will make his first declaration and swear an oath to preserve the Church of Scotland. After trumpeting and fanfare, he will be formally declared the new King as gun salutes are fired from sites around the city.

Flags will return to full mast for a 24-hour period beginning at 13:00 BST on Saturday to mark the proclamation of King Charles as King, before returning to half-mast.

Meanwhile, Queen Elizabeth will lie in rest at St Giles Cathedral in Edinburgh as preparations are made for her funeral, which is expected in around 10 days. The coffin will then be flown to London, where hundreds of thousands of people will be allowed to file past over a period of four days' lying in state at Westminster Hall.

Prince Harry has left Balmoral Castle.

The Duke of Sussex left at around 08:20 this morning in the front of a convoy of two cars.

Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex, did not accompany him to Scotland.

The Queen could make anyone she met feel like they were the only person in the room, says the Archbishop of Canterbury, Justin Welby.

Praising the time she devoted to public service, he says: "There were hundreds of events every year which she attended.

"She was the one - and again it runs in the family, I've seen His Majesty do the same thing - who could go into a room full of people or walk down a crowded street, and everyone she spoke to felt that they were the only person there.

"She was never looking over their shoulder to see if there was somebody a bit more interesting. Everybody got her attention."

He tells BBC Breakfast: "I think part of her great service that was unseen, as one former prime minister I heard say, that there's only one person in the world that he could talk to and say exactly what he thought and felt and was 100% certain that it would never go any further.

"And I think that that was a hidden service. She was a place of confidences, and of accumulating wisdom."

As people are reacting to the death of Queen Elizabeth II, it is evident her passing will have a major impact on daily life in the UK.

This will be confirmed by the Palace and government - and would mean schools closing.

Instantaneously, on the announcement of the Queen's passing, more than 2,400 people in the UK have seen their official titles change.

They are the country's top lawyers who carry the words "Queen's Counsel" after their names in recognition of their expertise - an honour created by the Queen's namesake, Elizabeth I.

As soon as the former Prince of Wales became King Charles III, all of them became "King's Counsel".

This is just one of the many symbolic changes to British public life and society that have now begun.

Mark Fenhalls KC, the chair of the Bar Council representing all barristers in England and Wales, said: “The officers, members and staff of the General Council of the Bar of England and Wales join with colleagues across the legal professions in mourning the loss of our country’s most devoted public servant.“

Throughout a long, loyal, and steadfast reign, Queen Elizabeth II embodied the symbolic role of the figure in whose name justice is carried out with great integrity.”

During the Queen's reign she became one of the "most experienced broadcasters in the world," says Robert Hardman, a royal biographer.

The monarch's first broadcast during the Blitz had a "global impact", he says, adding that it even got produced as a record in the US.

He tells BBC Radio 4's Today programme the Queen's annual Christmas broadcasts have "been a part of our lives" and it is now "going to be an extraordinary readjustment”.

"Her voice has resonated in all our lives", he adds.

Christine, who began her journey to Buckingham Palace at 5am, told me the Queen was an "amazing woman" who could change with the times in a "beautiful and tasteful” way.

She added: “My daughter said to me yesterday that her children will never know a queen... and that’s a loss for them".

Another visitor, Vicky, tells me she woke up early this morning to take her daughter to the palace before she goes to school.

She said her daughter wrote a letter to King Charles to tell him she's "very sorry about your mum dying", and they wanted to deliver it themselves.

A portrait of the Queen is being featured on bus stops across London as the nation begins to mourn her passing.

It hails the Queen for serving the nation "with so much pride" during her reign.
