Westminster Hall is now open to the public
The long queue to view the Queen's coffin has begun moving for the Lying in State.
The government has warned that navigating the line will be a feat of endurance.
"You will need to stand for many hours, possibly overnight, with very little opportunity to sit down as the queue will be continuously moving," it said in a set of detailed instructions for those wanting to come.
Here's the lengthy queue path that stretches kilometres.

There's lots of discussion in London over Prince Harry's attire
The ABC's Virginia Trioli is in London and filed this a few moments ago.
Prince Harry's exclusion from wearing his regiment's uniform is making headlines and talk-back in London.
My quintessential cabbie (born dockside, a cabbie of 30 years, father a cabbie, grandfather fought at Gallipoli) shakes his head in disbelief that Harry, who did two tours of Afghanistan, wasn't allowed to be in uniform, "but that mannequin Edward, who hasn't seen a minute's danger" was allowed.
Cabbie Stephen wonders if the Royals' days are numbered: "it just seems all a bit much now, doesn't it?", he asks, and King Charles just isn't like the Queen.
Will Australia become a Republic, he wants to know? It could. Stephen nods: it's the one country he'd leave England for.

'Very fitting for her': Britons react to the procession
The procession is over, but hundreds of thousands gathered wherever there was room to catch a glimpse of the Queen's coffin.
Here's a bit of what some Britons had to say, according to Reuters.
"It was very moving, seeing the family. It was a powerful show of unity," said Jenny Frame, 54, who waited for more than four hours to see the procession. "I think it's the very best of British and ... very fitting for her."
"I don't think we'll see anything like that again ever, or a queen like that again," said Paul Wiltshire, 65, among the crowd for the procession. "An end of an era."
"We're seeing something very sad but very special," said Charlie Cooper, 51, who had travelled by coach from Liverpool, northern England, to watch Wednesday's ceremony. "It's part of my history, and millions of others around the world."

Operation Feather is about to begin
Westminster Hall will now be closed for an hour.
After that, Operation Feather will begin, meaning members of the public will be invited to file past the coffin and pay their respects.
A 24-hour guard will be stationed around the coffin, comprising members of the Household Division, the King’s Body Guards of the Honourable Corps of Gentlemen at Arms, the King’s Bodyguard for Scotland, the Royal Company of Archers and the King’s Bodyguard the Yeomen of the Guard.

King Charles leaves service to shouts of 'God save the King'
The short service has finished.
King Charles and Queen Consort Camilla have just left Westminster Hall to shouts of "God save the King" from the crowd outside.
As you can see, there's not a lot of people inside Westminster, so this part of the day has been quite intimate.
