Mile after mile, hour after hour, mourners are trekking across London to pay their respects to the Queen. Her lying in state continues today (September 15) at the Palace of Westminster following her death last Thursday, aged 96.
The Queen’s lying in state opened yesterday at 5pm, with a sea of mourners filing past her coffin at Westminster Hall ever since, and the queue is expected to continue until the occasion ends on Monday morning. At 11am today, the queue was taking around two-and-a-half hours to get from the back to Westminster Bridge, where mourners were told to expect a further three-hour wait.
