Line of Duty: Thousands more file past the Queen, waiting 14 hours - as full details of funeral released

Tens of thousands of members of the public have been filing past the coffin in Westminster Hall since Wednesday at 5pm.At one point during the second night of the Queen's lying in state, those lining up in the queue which hugged the south banks of the River Thames were told the wait time had swelled to 14 hours.

Nurse Melanie Pickman, 50, left her home in Swansea at 11am to join the back of the queue just before 3pm. The state hearse will then depart on its journey to Windsor as the parade gives a royal salute and the national anthem is played. US president Joe Biden and French president Emmanuel Macron will be among the 2,000 people gathered inside Westminster Abbey. New Zealand’s PM Jacimnda Ardern said she will make the near 24-hour journey to attend.Delegations from Germany, Italy and Brazil will also attend, along with EC President Ursula von Der Leyen. King Felipe of Spain and his wife Queen Letizia will be there as well.

"These individuals drawn from across the UK were recognised for their extraordinary contributions in areas including the response to the Covid-19 pandemic, people who volunteered in their communities, charity workers and those who work in healthcare, education and the wider public sector".The congregation will be made up of the Queen's household past and present, including personal staff who work, or who have worked, on the private estates.

ShelaghFogarty Something very sinister is going on.

If you leave from Australia now, you should be able to make it to the queue and you'll still get a brilliant spot.

Oh great,we need more details,more coverage. Is there anything else going on anywhere in the U.K.?
