The coffin carrying Queen Elizabeth II has been taken into the Palace of Holyroodhouse in Edinburgh. This is the final destination today for the late monarch.

She's amazing." She's a wonderful Queen and it's nice to be able to show your respect," Isle said. By Michael Doyle

The Prime Minister has said a memorial service will be held in New Zealand at some point after the funeral in the UK - and Cabinet will turn its mind to setting ...

But I really respect the institutions of this country and I think the Queen was a fantastic woman to Aotearoa, so I thought I would pay my respects. Ardern said the Queen had a close bond with New Zealand "but it is a bond and affection that spans across her entire family. After the ceremony, Neve joined her parents at the bottom of Parliament's steps and walked up with them. It will be interesting to see in the coming months and years how that debate changes with the passing of Elizabeth." Cabinet ministers had also been provided with black face masks. A special day." There are a lot of protocols and logistics around all of that so we will be looking at both of those issues together." "Clearly there are different views out there in the community about this but this is a significant occasion. Her body has arrived in Edinburgh from Balmoral - before she is taken to London ahead of her state funeral next Monday. "It's the end of an era, and I wanted my grandchildren to come and see history in New Zealand and see King Charles III come to the throne. It's really quite nice." Among Cabinet's considerations may be any approaches the Government has had from employers, including retailers, who might face extra costs.

The prime minister says the country will have a public holiday to commemorate the Queen, but not everyone is on board with the idea.

“Many in our community, including retailers and their staff, will want to honour and mourn the passing of Queen Elizabeth II. “I have asked premiers and chief ministers that Thursday 22 September 2022 be declared a National Public Holiday in honour of the life and service of our late Queen. In his announcement on Sunday, Albanese said the day would “allow people to pay their respects for the passing of Queen Elizabeth”. “Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II led a remarkable life, dedicated to service and duty,” the PM said in a statement. “Her Majesty was the only reigning monarch to ever visit Australia and it was clear from her first trip that she had a special place in our hearts. “Queen Elizabeth II is the only reigning monarch most Australians have known and her faithful service will be remembered for centuries to come. However, Anthony Albanese told Sunrise, the day would be a one-off “historic event” for Australians to observe the loss of Queen Elizabeth “in their own way”. Of the backlash over the short notice given to Australians, Albanese admitted it was “the very nature of a once-in-a-lifetime event”. “It’s a historic event that is touching many Australians and that Australians want to participate in.” “Therefore, we gave as much notice as possible, which is why I spoke to the premiers and chief ministers on Saturday and why we made the announcement on Sunday,” he said. “The national day of mourning provides an opportunity for local governments to organise events in their local communities,” he said. “Operations and lots of patient consultations booked that day, at a time when access is difficult,” he said in a tweet following the announcement over the weekend.

The extra day off has seen an uptick in bookings for some businesses, but there are also concerns about a lack of staff in the hospitality industry and ...

"It'll just be a little blip in the current quarter and then the economy will bounce right back." "The Friday tends to be a quiet day in the office, as it were, and then people are really going away for the weekend." "There's actually some evidence of that in the UK and some of the recent ones where they've also occurred on a Thursday," she said. "I think we can expect to see a little bit of an impact on the economy, but it'll be very short lived. "At the moment, particularly, the food companies are getting into a rhythm for what they're going to be doing in the lead-up to Christmas." "It's great to say that we may be full for an extra night, but there's a lot of pressure on a lot of our industry, I suppose, at this time with no workers."

Industry bodies join medical association in criticising Albanese government over notice for national day of mourning after death of Queen Elizabeth.

More notice of a public holiday would have helped us to plan ahead and minimise the impact on patients and an already struggling health system. “It’s a long weekend that’s as long as Easter and we haven’t had the chance to plan for it.” He said this was “unfortunate irony”. But for the events industry which has contracts and ticket prices locked-in, they might not have the option, Boyd said. But other details were still being worked out with states and territories. “A one off public holiday and a national day of mourning is an appropriate response that was agreed to by myself and the premiers and chief ministers,” he said.
