Mourners have been warned they face queuing "overnight" to pay their respects to Queen Elizabeth. The 96-year-old monarch died at her Scottish estate Balmoral last Thursday (08.
09. 22) and from 5pm on Wednesday (14. 09. 22), her body will lie in state in Westminster Hall, where members of the public will be able to file past the coffin 24 hours a day until the morning of her funeral on 19 September, but they face having to wait up to 30 hours to do so.
Guidance issued by the government said: “Please note that there will be a queue, which is expected to be very long. You will need to stand for many hours, possibly overnight, with very little opportunity to sit down as the queue will be continuously moving. ” They also advised members of the public to consider the length of the queue - which is predicted to reach up to five miles long - “before you decide to attend or bring children” and warned there may be road closures and delays to public transport.
People should bring their own food and drink as there will be only “limited refreshments” but once they arrive at parliament, they will go through airport-style security, with only small bags with a single opening allowed and no food or liquid "of any kind".
