FYI: Our new King
FYI
This week on FYI, the award-winning weekly news show from Sky Kids, we witness an important moment in history as Queen Elizabeth II lies in state. As we join with the rest of the nation in saying goodbye to the Queen, in an I Don’t Get It, we find out what being the UK’s Head of State means. From stamps to coins, what will change now that we have a new king? We ask people who have been paying tributes at Buckingham Palace what the Queen meant to them and we visit the Houses of Parliament to ask the Speaker’s Chaplain what will happen at the State Funeral in Westminster Abbey.
Next week on FYI, the team investigate shocking new figures on bullying. FYI also dives deep into unchartered, unexplained ocean beds with explorers and marine biologists for an exclusive look at what they have found!
