Thousands of people have been queuing to see the Queen lying in state at Westminster Hall and the line of mourners could close as early as Saturday night, it is reported.
With the seven mile line to be extended by a further three miles due to so many people gathering it means that it will take many hours to get to the front.
Members of the public have been paying their respects from 5pm on Wednesday after her coffin was taken to the Hall from Buckingham Palace.
