London could reach “bursting point” this week as up to 1 million mourners are expected to descend on the capital to pay respects to the Queen as her coffin lies in state.
Authorities have said visitors hoping to see the late monarch’s coffin at Westminster Hall could face queues of up to 35 hours and will be expected to stand for long periods of time as public viewing runs from 5pm Wednesday until 6.30am on Monday, 19 September, the day of the funeral.
