In a special television tribute, Queen Consort Camilla pays tribute to Queen Elizabeth II before a nationwide moment of quiet is observed across the UK on Sunday at 20:00 BST. The Queen Consort is heard talking about her late mother-in-law and referring to her as a "solitary woman" in a teaser for the same video the BBC released.

The Queen Consort tells the documentary that she was four years old when Queen Elizabeth II assumed the throne in 1952, "I'm 75 now and I can't remember anybody except the Queen being there."Speaking about the tough job that the Queen took on in the political world, Camilla said,"There weren't women prime ministers or presidents. She was the only one so I think she carved her own role." The late monarch was also remembered by the Queen Consort as having the following distinctive qualities: "Those wonderful blue eyes... when she smiles they light up her whole face", via BBC. 

Prior to her departure, Queen Elizabeth expressed her "sincere wish" that the then-Duchess of Cornwall would be known as Queen Consort when Charles became King during the Platinum Jubilee celebrations to honour her 70 years on the throne earlier this year. King Charles III took the throne on September 8 following the death of Queen Elizabeth II, with Camilla serving as the Queen Consort.

The funeral for Queen Elizabeth II is scheduled for September 19 and will be attended by all of the royal family members. The late monarch will be buried next to Prince Philip, her husband of 73 years.
