With the sad news today that Queen Elizabeth II has passed away, Jono and Ben spoke with royal reporter Gavin Gray about what happens next for the royal family, and why 'Operation London Bridge' is now being called operation Unicorn'.

Being Queen "was a duty for life, [that] is how she saw it," Gavin told Jono and Ben, noting that now that she has passed, the royal reign immediately passed to her son, now King Charles III.

"Effectively he is [king], but of course, there will have to be a service, there's probably going to be first of all, a remembrance day service at London's St Paul's cathedral."

"It could be up to 12 day period of national morning here in the UK. During that morning period, the new king will deliver an address to the nation. Once he's been sworn in Charles of course, will effectively, oversee what's called the accession council, gathering to officially crown him at a black tie event of hundreds, of hundreds of people."

"I think Charles is gonna have a very, very tough act to follow here."

"We're gonna have to see over the next few days, this has all been very, very well worked out," Gavin continued. "It was known as Operation London Bridge if her majesty died in London, of course, but it also became known as Operation Unicorn, if a Her Majesty [passed away] in Scotland.

"And indeed she has. Obviously now they're going to want to bring Her Majesty and the family back down to London for that mourning period for the funeral, for the body to lay in state. Also for people to be able to express their empathy at Buckingham palace."

Remembering The Queen Gavin also shared that one of the things he admired most about her was her sense of humour.

"Without a doubt," Gavin said. "That may seem odd, because it very rarely came out in public.

"She really did have a very awash little sort of sense of humor, quite wicked. She was very funny."
