The queues are expected to be extremely long as the Queen’s coffin lies in state from 5pm on Wednesday to 6.30am on MondayPolitical EditorMembers of the public who wish to pay their respects to the Queen as she lies in state in Parliament may need to queue overnight, the Government has warned.
The public will be able to view the coffin 24 hours a day from that point until 6.30am on Monday, the day of the state funeral. Access will be granted on a first-come-first-served basis via a queue, with each individual having only a few seconds in front of the Queen. The Queen’s coffin will be placed on a catafalque, a raised platform, and will have the monarch’s orb and sceptre placed on top. It will be guarded by members of the military.
Queue overnight to not actually see a dead 96 year old who you don’t even know / have never met ?!
