Great Britain is officially in mourning…for the next ten days, the country will mark the passing of her majesty Queen Elizabeth II, and in his first public act as King Charles III, the former Prince of Wales walked outside the gates of Buckingham Palace to greet the crowd gathered to honor the queen. Jim Moret begins our coverage. And she may have kept a stiff upper lip, but Queen Elizabeth loved a good joke…and her sense of humor was on display often throughout her reign. Plus, last Friday around 4:30 in the morning, Eliza Fletcher was kidnapped and killed while taking her morning jog in Memphis. Today, one week later at the exact same time, a huge crowd ran the same route in memory of the slain teacher and mother of two. And today, inside London's St. Paul's Cathedral, came the first official performance of “God Save the King.” We end our show with that choir and images from this historic day.
