More than 250,000 people waited in 'The Queue' to see the Queen lying in state in Westminster Hall, a minister has said.
The queue allowed members of the public to pay their last respects to Her Majesty during her four days of lying in state in the capital. Waiting times hit a peak of more than 14 hours and the queue had to be closed several times as it exceeded the planned 10 miles.
Culture Secretary Michelle Donelan said this morning that the final total of people who filed past the Queen's coffin over the four-day period was still being worked out, but that around a quarter of a million people are believed to have gone through.
