Nobody does a queue better than the British! Queue for coffin is five miles long

[Fivemoreminutes1]

So the question is, would you join it? I’m just not very patient and don’t think I could do it!

I’m quite intrigued by the people queuing. Watching the live stream no one looks completely exhausted as I would. Some are quite smartly dressed. I would be on my knees if I had to stand for any length of time. I’ve always struggled with standing up, tend to lean against something so this is not for me. Walking fine, just not that sort of queuing.

I feel stressed by the people hovering too long by the coffin as well and the thought of standing as the guards and beefeaters are without moving troubles me no end. The stamina and concentration is impressive. The changeover was fascinating to watch, all perfectly choreographed, I wonder how long their shifts are.

Why do some people have lanyards with visitor on? They are the people usually dressed in black and also the police officers who just came past. Also the woman who was very upset.

Worrying me a bit too!

Baby in a sling. I'm so nervous!

I know - super impressed at all those with babes in arms and those with mobility issues.

It's brought out the best in the Brits.
Which is so nice.

I wonder if they're people given special access to join the queue at the front? Like the police officers who have been allowed a break in duty to go?

Yes I thought it was him but I didn't have my glasses on..

My friend is going tomorrow. She's going with a friend who has limited mobility so hoping to circumvent the queue. She's gone down massively in my estimation for that. She should queue with everyone else.

I think they are people working next door in the Houses of Parliament

eh?

Sorry!

If you watch the live stream with your Spotify playlist on in the background it gives it a completely different vibe. Although Pet Shop Boys might not be quite the thing.

West End Girls?

May I suggest that those people who are enjoying the 30 hour queue experience visit Legoland in the summer for a similar experience.

I think it's all rather fab.Just so simple and plain. And you earn your place.

Currently Go West 🤔

Aww there's a dog! 😍

Found the link! How fascinating. I just saw a small dog 🐕? Terrier file past. I do hope someone brings a corgi or two. Probably ought to bring her favourite racehorse as well.

This is why I refuse to go to Legoland. It's hell!

But I am planning on queuing for the Queen 👑

I saw the dog. I think I read that only support dogs are allowed, it must have been one of those.

It's really not my thing but the mix of people is oddly fascinating. I am glad that those who want to do it have the opportunity. Not sure about the close ups of people though. Some are quite emotional and I wonder if they are told they are being live streamed?

There are going to be some tired children at school tomorrow.

I like how there's some gentle nods, some proper from the waist bows, salutes and a few curtseys. But I've not seen anyone do nothing.
