Welsh woman second in line to see Queen's coffin after joining queue 48 hours early

A Welsh woman turned up two days early to make sure she was at the front of the queue to view the Queen lying in state.

There are few Royal occasions that Anne Daley misses if she can help it and she travels the country to keep watch on as many births, deaths and engagements as she can manage. Always in a Welsh rugby shirt or with a Welsh flag proudly displayed alongside her, there's no doubting where Anne comes from.

The 65-year-old from Llandaf in the Welsh capital is one half of a pair of dedicated royal fans and is usually with her sister Judy Daley. On Monday, she was pictured as the second person to join the queue near Lambeth Bridge to view the Queen lying in state. The only person who'd got there before her was Vanessa Nanthakumaran from Harrow.
