Thousands gathered in London to pay their respects to Britain's longest reigning monarch. World leaders including presidents of the United States and France attended the funeral. We hear reactions from the crowd.

Businesses in the UK have faced the difficult decision of closing their doors the day of the funeral or remain open to the public. Richard Burge, chief executive of the London Chamber of Commerce, tells us how businesses that shut came to that decision.

Queen Elizabeth II was the head of state of 15 countries in the Commonwealth. We hear what this meant for former colonies like Antigua and Barbuda from Martin Cave, executive director of the nation's Chamber of Commerce.

Ed Butler is joined throughout the programme by three guests in opposite sides of the world: ABC's business reporter Peter Ryan in Sydney, Greenwood Capital's CIO Walter Todd in South Carolina, and columnist for The Tribune Sushma Ramachandran in India.
