Well, that was a week and a half.
A time of national mourning, and bitter disappointment for those disabled people who wanted to attend the Lying in State, as the accessible queue was closed late afternoon on Saturday, almost 39 hours before the official closure of the Lying in State at 6.30am on Monday morning.
The Department of Culture, Media and Sport said that all accessible slots had gone, and those attempting to join what became a two-mile queue for a wristband would be turned away.
