Phillip Schofield and Holly Willoughby have been accused of 'jumping the queue' to see the Queen's coffin lying in state, after they were spotted on camera at Westminster Hall, but a spokesperson has claimed that they didn't get to pay their respects 'in the same way' as others.
Since doors to the Hall opened up to the public at teatime on Wednesday, floods of people have poured through the doors of the historic building, to pay their respects to Her Majesty, before her funeral. The Queen's body was taken to Westminster on Buckingham Palace in a moving procession, which saw the likes of King Charles III and Princes William and Harry walk behind the coffin as crowds lined the streets to look on.
Some members of the public had been in line for days to be at the front of the queue to see the Queen and on Friday morning the queue was closed for at least six hours, as it stretched for miles across London.
