Mourners queued overnight in London for the Queen’s lying in state. And King Charles III is set to take a day away from public duties after an intensely busy week while he grieved the loss of his mother.
Members of the public can pay their respects to the late monarch’s coffin for 24 hours a day at Westminster Hall. Queues along Lambeth Bridge and Albert Embankment continued to flow overnight.
The Queen’s coffin continues to be guarded at all hours by units from the Sovereign’s Bodyguard, the Household Division or Yeoman Warders of the Tower of London. One of the guards suddenly collapsed overnight, with nearby officials quickly rushing to his aid after he appeared to faint.
