The auction site eBay is to take down listings for second-hand wristbands which were issued to mourners from the Queen's lying in state queue. Some are being touted at £2,000 and the site has acted quickly to end the trade in the items.
The Evening Standard reports there are dozens of the wristbands available on the popular auction site. An eBay spokesman said: “These items are against our policies and we are removing them from our site.”
Some people have waited for up to 24 hours to enter Westminster Hall to see the Queen lying in state - ahead of her funeral on Monday. Figures from the London Ambulance Service (LAS) show that 435 members of the public were treated along the route of the queue to see the Queen lying in state and surrounding areas over the last two days.
