Huw Edwards reveals what the card on top of the Queen's coffin actually said

The touching handwritten message from the King to his late mother has been revealed as her coffin is carried through the streets of London. Thousands of people lined the streets to mourn Queen Elizabeth II as her funeral procession travelled through the city. The coffin of Britain's longest-serving monarch was adorned with a beautiful wreath of flowers and a card as well as the Imperial State Crown.

At the King's request, the wreath contains flowers and foliage cut from the gardens of Buckingham Palace, Clarence House and Highgrove House, all placed upon the Royal standard flag. As well as the wreath, a handwritten card was placed upon the coffin which King Charles and Her Majesty's other children walked behind as the Queen made her final journey through London.

As part of the BBC's coverage of the funeral, Welsh presenter Huw Edwards informed the millions of people watching at home of the personal message the King had left to his mother on the card.
