The surviving spouse’s/civil partner’s automatic share goes up to £450,000 and they still receive the personal possessions.

Parents

If you are married ( or in a Civil Partnership ) and your estate is worth more than £250,000 and have children thenThe first £250,000 and the personal possessions will go to the spouse/civil partner and they will get a life interest in half of whatever is left over. The other half will go to the children immediately with the rest following when the life interest ends on the death of the spouse/civil partner.
If any child should pre-decease you, then their own children (your grandchildren), would get their parent’s share and so on if a grandchild has predeceased.
