Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern says to be among the British public paying their respect to the Queen is a humbling thing.
Global leaders have arrived in London for the Queen's funeral which will be held today, beginning at 10pm New Zealand time.
500 heads of state and foreign dignitaries have been invited to the funeral - a gathering not seen in decades.
The Prime Minister was among those overseas representatives invited to attend a reception with King Charles III at Buckingham Palace.
Corin Dann spoke to her earlier and asked what the reception will entail.
