 Today's Highlighted Video Story: The Commons Speaker is understood to have refused a request to allow a Chinese delegation to attend the Queen's lying in state. The move is in retaliation for China's sanctions against British parliamentarians who have accused China of mistreating Uighur Muslims.  The row means China may stay away from Monday's state funeral, which will be packed with the world's leaders. Their attendance is a measure of how the late Queen's influence extended far beyond the Commonwealth and her dwindling number of realms. 

Focus of the Day Article: After days of lying-in-state, the body of the late Queen Elizabeth II will begin its final journey on Monday morning as part of a grand state funeral - first to Westminster Abbey, for a religious service in front of a congregation of thousands, and then on to Windsor Castle for a more intimate committal service and, finally, a private burial.
