Boris will address Tory MPs at a meeting of the 1922 Committee this afternoon (Tuesday).
He will not take office formally until tomorrow afternoon.
May will face her final prime minister’s questions in the House of Commons before tendering her resignation to the Queen.
Johnson will then go to Buckingham Palace himself for his appointment – before giving a speech in front of the black door of No 10.
