People camp out to see Queen Elizabeth II’s coffin travel from Buckingham Palace to Westminster Hall: People camp out overnight on The Mall to see Queen Elizabeth II’s coffin taken from Buckingham Palace to Westminster Hall.
Tens of thousands of mourners have today formed an orderly queue set to stretch five miles across London and last 40 hours to pay their final respects to Britain’s longest-reigning monarch – including hymn-singing crowds of hungry campers eating ‘pizza blessed by God’ and military veterans who have kept themselves awake to avoid crumpling their clothes. Up to a million people are expected to spend several days queueing to see the Queen ‘s coffin, which will be lying in state in the Palace of Westminster from 5pm today. Poncho-wearing royal fans have camped out in sleeping bags for two nights, sheltering under their brollies as the capital was soaked by torrential downpours. Officials expect some 400,000 people, some of whom have flown into the UK from abroad, will view the coffin – more than the 300,000 who filed past her father King George VI as he lay in state at Westminster Hall in 1952. But with between 750,000 and a million expected to want to pay tribute, fears are growing that as many as 650,000 could miss out. Many others may struggle to get to London due to the enormous strain that transport networks are set to come under.
