Theresa May will shortly take MPs' questions for the final time before Boris Johnson becomes prime minister.
Later, she will deliver a farewell speech in Downing Street and travel to Buckingham Palace to hand her resignation to the Queen.
Mr Johnson will then have his own audience at the palace before making his first speech as PM outside No 10.
He will then begin announcing senior cabinet posts - sources say his top team will reflect "modern Britain".
Mr Johnson is expected to use the opportunity to increase the number of women in full cabinet positions and boost the representation of ethnic minorities.
The former London mayor won a decisive victory over Foreign Secretary Jeremy Hunt in a ballot of Tory members - gaining a 66.4% total share of the vote.
Conversations are said to be "ongoing" between Mr Hunt and Mr Johnson about the foreign secretary's next role.
