Strictly Come Dancing's Neil Jones reflects on seeing the Queen's coffin in emotional experience

Strictly Come Dancing pro Neil Jones has opened up about his experience of queuing for in excess of 12 hours to see Her Majesty the Queen lying in state - describing it as "one of the most incredible moments of my life".

The 40-year-old professional dancer joined the rest of the queuing public wishing to pay their respects at Westminster Hall on Sunday.

Access to the official queue itself ended later that evening, as per requirements to meet the 6.30am closure of the traditional lying in state period.
