UK MPs to pay 10-hour tribute to Queen Elizabeth II

Special sessions of both houses of the British Parliament, during which MPs and Lords will be able to express their condolences on the occasion of the death of Queen Elizabeth II, will last for 10 hours on September 9, reported from Sky News.

The King and his Queen Consort Camilla will return to London from Balmoral, with the monarch due to hold his first audience with Prime Minister Liz Truss.

The House of Commons’ sitting will not start at 9.30 a.m. as planned, with both Houses of Parliament due to gather at noon instead.

MPs and peers will be invited to pay tribute to the Queen in the session, led by Truss, which is set to last until 10 p.m.

The government is not expected to announce any other business, unless anything urgent occurs, to allow focus to fall entirely on the Queen during the 10-hour sitting.
