Description:

A 1200-year-old block of sandstone that represents a union between two once-warring states, and the hall where another King Charles once sealed his fate. History is a living entity in the UK.

It’s been another day of sombre ceremony there, with Queen Elizabeth making her final journey up the Royal Mile in Edinburgh - met by tens of thousands of mourners.

The Queen’s coffin is due to arrive in London on Tuesday, UK time.

But along the way, some fascinating quirks of history have been revealed.

Today on Please Explain, associate editor and special writer Tony Wright joins Bianca Hall to discuss what it's like witnessing this moment in history in the UK.
