10:18 Paul Thomas - florist to the Queen
Large queues of mourners have formed outside Westminster Hall in London, where Queen Elizabeth will lie in state for the next four days.
On her casket is expected to be a funeral wreath with her favourite flower lily of the valley.
Karyn speaks to Paul Thomas who has been a florist to the Queen and royal family for more than 20 years.
She also plays a poem written in tribute to the Queen from the UK's Poet Laureate Simon Armitage.
