Manori Ravindran International Editor The tear-stricken faces peering up adoringly at James Bond producer Michael G. Wilson, seated in the royal box at Royal Albert Hall, during a lengthy standing ovation at “The Sound of 007” concert said it all: It’s not just movie music — the music, for this franchise at least, is the movie. Tuesday’s charity event at London’s grandest venue preceded the Oct. 5 release of feature documentary “The Sound of 007” on Amazon’s Prime Video (the streamer’s top executives for Europe were, unsurprisingly, in the box next to the Bond guardians), and didn’t hesitate to remind both Bond novices and grizzled veterans that the franchise is virtually synonymous with some of cinema’s most iconic tracks.

Her Majesty the Queen’s pallbearers have been praised for their service to the late monarch after carrying her 500lb coffin from Westminster Hall to St George’s Chapel – but there was more to their duty than carrying her coffin. The coffin bearers, some of whom flew over from Iraq for the Queen’s historic state funeral, were also tasked with something that wasn’t shown on cameras after the 96 year old’s monarch was lowered into the vault.

The Queen’s royal guards have been snapped taking a rare break without their uniforms on after collectively working a 24-hour schedule.The Yeomen of the Guard – affectionately known as Beefeaters – are a British staple, and are usually made up of retired soldiers who have served in the Armed Forces.Typically located at the Tower of London, the guards have been watching over the late monarch’s coffin in recent days and have been spotted in Westminster Hall standing guard alongside The Gentlemen at Arms, as well as Princess Anne at one point. Queen Elizabeth’s coffin was watched over a 24-hour schedule, with royal guards doing six hour shifts.

Representing his family. Princess Diana‘s brother Charles Spencer joined the British royals in honoring Queen Elizabeth II at her state funeral.

Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II began on Monday at 11:00 am local time in London’s Westminster Abbey. Stay up to date with these live updates:  Here’s everything you need to know about how, what, and where to watch Elizabeth’s final memorial services. The funeral is set to begin at  local time (), but Monday's events will start at when the doors of Westminster Hall are set to close in preparation for the coffin's procession.The state funeral is a service reserved only for monarchs or extremely important British figures, meaning it is the grandest and most honorable service the palace has to offer. The queen's will be the first state funeral in the United Kingdom since the death of Winston Churchill in 1965. Heads of state and foreign royals will begin the day at the Royal Hospital Chelsea and travel together to Westminster Abbey, where the funeral is set to take place.

King Charles III and other members of the royal family marched behind Queen Elizabeth II‘s coffin as the Royal Navy transported her to Westminster Abbey ahead of her funeral.

All for Grannie. As Queen Elizabeth II’s grandchildren held a special vigil ahead of her state funeral, Prince Harry was able to wear his military dress uniform despite initial back-and-forth rulings.
