Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern has arrived in London ahead of Queen Elizabeth's funeral on Monday.

Over the weekend she will meet King Charles III and Prince William along with the UK's new Prime Minister Liz Truss.

Meanwhile, as mourners queue for the longest wait of their lives to see Queen Elizabeth II lying in state, the blackouts are back in England as shop windows are decorated to commemorate her life.

The day of the Queen's state funeral has been declared a bank holiday. Katie Todd and Nick Monro are in London.
