Wait times to see the Queen lying in state reached 25 hours overnight despite bitter temperatures on the streets.
Crowds huddled in coats and jumpers as they waited in the line, which was five miles long at its peak overnight.
Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport’s (DCMS) online tracker said the expected wait time was at least 25 hours at 1.15am as the queue snaked back to Southwark Park, southeast London.
