YOU WONT BELIEVE: Everything that will happen today as king charles ascends to throne - What They Never Told You

The UK is in an official period of national mourning following the death of Queen Elizabeth II on Thursday.

Here is the day-by-day account of what is expected to happen next, leading up to the Queen's funeral in around 10 days' time. Thursday would traditionally have been D-Day or D+0 in the plans for the aftermath of the Queen's death, codenamed London Bridge.
