People are expected to queue for 22 hours from Friday evening to see the Queen lying in state, and the Government has warned “overnight temperatures will be cold”.
The Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport’s (DCMS) online tracker says the expected wait time is more than 24 hours, warning of chilly temperatures as people queue from Southwark Park in south-east London to pay their respects to the Queen’s coffin in Westminster Hall, about five miles away.
