BBC's Kirsty Young close to tears as she signs off Queen's funeral broadcast with beautiful tribute

Kirsty Young had tears in her eyes as she ended the BBC's live coverage of the Queen's funeral, with a tribute in which she said Her Majesty would "never be forgotten."

Presenter Kirsty had taken over from her BBC colleague Huw Edwards early in the afternoon, after Huw had anchored the build up to the Queen's funeral and the service itself from Westminster Abbey, being joined by other hosts like JJ Chalmers and guests such as Andrew Lloyd Webber and Kelly Homes in a purpose built studio in central London.

Kirsty took over as the Queen's coffin made its way to Windsor, where a special service was held in the much loved monarch's memory at St George's Chapel, the same place where the Queen cut a solitary figure just over a year ago as she grieved the loss of her beloved husband Prince Philip.
