Sir Keir Starmer said it “still feels impossible to imagine a Britain without” the Queen, as the national anthem was sung without incident.
The Labour leader opened his party’s conference in Liverpool with a tribute to the Queen, who died aged 96 following a 70-year reign.
It was followed by a minute’s silence, which was impeccably observed in the hall, and God Save The King.
Many in the hall were seen singing the anthem and applause was heard once it concluded.
