Queen Elizabeth updates: State funeral ends 11 days of ceremonies

Prince Andrew paid tribute to Queen Elizabeth II, issuing a statement Sunday calling her "three in one' -- Mummy, Mother, Your Majesty.

The Duke of York attached to his statement a black-and-white photo of him as a baby being held by his mother following his birth in 1960.

"Mummy, your love for a son, your compassion, your care, your confidence I will treasure forever. I have found your knowledge and wisdom infinite, with no boundary or containment. I will miss your insights, advice and humor," Andrew wrote.

He added, "As our book of experiences closes, another opens, and I will forever hold you close to my heart with my deepest love and gratitude, and I will tread gladly into the next with you as my guide."

Addressing his mother as "your Majesty," he said it had been an "honor and privilege to serve you."

"Mother -- of the nation, your devotion and personal service to our nation is unique and singular; your people show their love and respect in so many different ways and I know you are looking on honoring their respect," Andrew wrote, ending the statement with, "God save The King."

The U.K. government advised members of the public on Sunday to stop joining the miles-long line of people waiting to pay their respects to the late Queen Elizabeth at London's Westminster Hall.

"A decision will be taken today on when entry to the queue will close as it reaches final capacity," the U.K. Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport said in a statement that appeared on its queue tracker streaming on YouTube. "To avoid disappointment please do not set off to join the queue."

Medics have treated more than 1,000 people who have been waiting in line to pay their respects to the late Queen Elizabeth II in the U.K. capital, according to the London Ambulance Service.

Since Thursday, the start of the lying-in-state, medics with the London Ambulance Service and St. John Ambulance have provided care to a total of 1,078 people in the miles-long queue, including 136 who were transported to local hospitals.

On Saturday alone, 368 people were treated, including 55 who were taken to hospitals.

President Joe Biden and first lady Jill Biden have landed in London to attend Queen Elizabeth II's funeral on Monday.

Ahead of the state funeral, they plan to attend a reception hosted by King Charles III on Sunday, among other events.
