New prime minister Liz Truss is due to give a speech that will set out her ambitions for her time in office.
On Tuesday morning, Boris Johnson stood at the lectern outside Downing Street for the last time and pledged his “fervent support” for his successor.
The white tape marker showing where the lectern should be positioned is still there; ready for Ms Truss’s speech to the nation later in the day.
So, when is Liz Truss’s speech?
Ms Truss is scheduled to give an address at 4pm on Tuesday outside No 10. However the time is not set in stone as it will depend on how her schedule runs this morning.
After Ms Truss gives her speech, she will walk in through the black door of No 10 as prime minister for the first time.
