That's it from me for tonight. Here's a summary of today's key events:

  • King Charles, accompanied by his siblings, the Princess Royal, the Duke of Wessex and the Duke of York, led a vigil beside their mother’s coffin.

  • A minute’s silence was observed at the first Premier League games since the death of the Queen, after games were postponed last week.

  • The new King was booed by anti-monarchy protesters in Cardiff.

  • Members of the public continued to queue for up to 24 hours to pay their respects to the late Queen. Mourners included former England football captain David Beckham, who – it is believed – waited in line for 13 hours.

Waiting time down from 22 hours to 19.5

The wait time to see the Queen’s coffin is now at least 19.5 hours, according to the government tracker (down from 22 hours). Entry to the queue is now at Southwark park. The tracker is also warning of cold temperatures.
