New details have been released about the Queen’s funeral on Monday September 19

It’s now been revealed Queen Elizabeth II made a number of her own personal additions to plans for the day of her funeral.

The state funeral will be one of Britain’s biggest events since World War Two.

The music and readings selected for the occasion are expected to reflect the Queen’s personality and taste.

A national two-minute silence will be held as the service concludes.

Numerous world leaders and dignitaries will be in attendance, including U.S. President Joe Biden and French President Emmanuel Macron.

There will also be 200 people who have been recognised in the Queen’s Birthday Honours.

The Duke of Norfolk is the official organiser of the day’s events and says his role is “both humbling and daunting”.

On the other side of the Atlantic, leaders gathered at the U.N. headquarters in New York to pay tribute to Queen Elizabeth.

Secretary general, Antonio Guterres says Her Majesty was “an anchor of stability across decades of often turbulent history.”

Today at the @UN we paid tribute to Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II.

In her first speech to the #UNGA, she called on leaders to demonstrate their devotion to the ideals of the UN Charter.

We must now honour her legacy by working as hard as ever to be truly United Nations. pic.twitter.com/l2mZlZc9z0

Australia’s multimillion-dollar campaign to attract Hollywood productions to its shores appears to be paying off.

The allure of Australia lies not only in its picturesque locations but also in its competitive financial incentives.

The government offers generous rebates and tax breaks to international productions, making it an attractive proposition for filmmakers looking to maximise their budgets.

Despite the recent intake of Hollywood productions down under such as ‘The Fall Guy’ and ‘Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga’, Aussie independents are still finding the space to carve their own creative path.

Rob Fantozzi joined the program to discuss the latest in Hollywood, and showcased his own upcoming project – ‘Omerta‘. #featured

American home prices are rising at faster pace now than in the last 20-years.

A recent analysis reveals a jaw dropping surge in the cost of American homes.

Since the start of 2020, U.S. home prices have surged 47% easily outstripping the gains seen in recent decades.

On top of that, home price growth so far this decade is on the verge of surpassing all the growth seen in the 2000s.

Many experts believe this decade’s housing market frenzy was ignited by a perfect storm — the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic triggering an unprecedented rush among buyers.

Tom Hutchens, the Executive Vice President of Production at Angel Oak Mortgage Solutions joins Veronica Dudo to discuss.
