And this video features a profile of Charles, the prince who is now the King.
Charles began his address by telling the nation: “I speak to you today with feelings of profound sorrow.
“Throughout her life, Her Majesty The Queen – my beloved Mother – was an inspiration and example to me and to all my family, and we owe her the most heartfelt debt any family can owe to their mother; for her love, affection, guidance, understanding and example.”
In an address to the nation, the King said his mother pledged to devote her life “to the service of her peoples” on her 21st birthday in 1947.
He said: “That was more than a promise: it was a profound personal commitment which defined her whole life.
“She made sacrifices for duty.
“Her dedication and devotion as Sovereign never waivered, through times of change and progress, through times of joy and celebration, and through times of sadness and loss.”

King Charles has held his first in-person audience with Prime Minister Liz Truss at Buckingham Palace.
The first official rendition of God Save the King will be sung at St Paul’s Cathedral at the end of a memorial service for the Queen.
The lyrics to the national anthem will change from “Queen” to “King” and “her victorious” to “him victorious” to mark that King Charles III has now taken over as monarch.
It comes after crowds spontaneously sang the version of the song outside of Buckingham Palace on Friday as the King arrived with the Queen.
The anthem is also expected to be sung at the Kia Oval on Saturday as the England v South Africa Third Test Match resumes. It was paused on Friday following the Queen’s death.
Members of the royal family are not expected to attend the 6pm service at St Paul’s, which is open to the public and is being broadcast live by the BBC.

When the King’s state Rolls-Royce was first spotted by the crowds as it neared the Palace, a cheer went up from the well-wishers who had gathered in their thousands outside the gates.
A man shouted “God save the King” as the couple stepped from the car, and Charles went ahead of his wife to greet the people, many of whom had waited hours to see their new monarch.
