The last person leaving the Queen’s lying in state at Westminster Hall was Chrissy Heerey, a serving member of the RAF from Melton Mowbray. The final members of the public filed through Westminster Hall to pay their respects to the Queen at 6.30am.
Members of parliamentary staff then followed, with Black Rod Sarah Clarke the last to walk past the coffin.
Ms Heerey said: “I was the last person to pay my respects to the Queen and it felt like a real privilege to do that. I’d already been round once, I went in at 1:15 this morning.
