A close up of King Charles bowing his head as he stands in front of the Queen’s coffin at Monday’s vigil is the front page of the i paper. The headline reads simply: “Vigil for a mother.”

“The King’s Vigil”. Three words with the same powerful image of King Charles, that features on so many of the papers, is the cover of the Metro. The newspaper adds how the Queen’s only daughter Princess Anne became the first woman to be part of the historic Vigil for the Princes ceremony. It has only previously been carried out by male members of the Royal Family, it reports.

“We will watch over you” is the Daily Mirror’s headline.
