Three mourners clad with foldable chairs and snacks have flocked to Westminster to camp & queue for the Queen's lying in state - two days before the event.
Vanessa Nathakumaran, 56, was first in line to queue up close to Lambeth Bridge, as she felt it was "her duty".
Ms Nathakumaran, from Harrow, had no plans to spend two nights camping in Westminster, as she is currently staying in a hotel while her home is repaired.
