Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II

The incredible lines of people waiting to pay tribute to Queen Elizabeth II as she lies in state are stretching to five miles and more, as the Palace says it is preparing for one of the biggest ceremonial events since World War II. Hundreds of heads of state and dignitaries will gather in London for the Queen’s state funeral on Monday. The Archbishop of York Stephen Cottrell – the nation’s second most senior bishop – will be offering one of the prayers during the service. He also led the 70th Jubilee service at St Paul’s Cathedral this summer and has even done a jigsaw with Her Majesty. He joins Christiane to talk about this moment and his memories. 

Also on today's show: Barbados Prime Minister Mia Mottley, former US Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense Evelyn Farkas, National Association of Evangelicals President Walter Kim.
