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 hope they have someone monitoring the live feed to check they actually do go

I would want to see the wristband at the very least.

They've started putting a time on the queue updates, it's currently 'at least 8 hours' - I'm starting at 02:00 (Saturday) so interested to see what it's like in the night!

DD (aged 11) watched it a bit when she got home from school and was outraged that anyone would take children. She thought it was cruel to make children wait for what was a “really boring thing”…..

The Daily Mail are very worried about dogs and babies and people falling down the stairs.

I am also riveted. It is so quiet. So calm. Meditative. Incredibly moving really.

The overnight queues last night were slower than the daytimes ones today.#

And it paused for an hour (live feed went black) between 2-3am (I suppose 24/7 is a catchier phrase than 23/7!)

I wonder how many people willingly lying on wet pavements and not sleeping all night for their leader would totally shun the idea of doing the big sleep out to raise money for homeless people? It's all very common people isn't it

Is it mutually exclusive?

I think I'd have possibly been a little miffed if i was there today, yesterday there was a single file queue either side but today there seems to be double queues either side.
Seems a bit more crowded.

Wonder if it's to try speed up the queue time?

I think it's going to get bigger and bigger .

I imagine we will reach peak queue around midday tomorrow as people will try to time their visit to coincide with the Vigil Of The Princes.

Yes, I think it will double tomorrow when more people are off or on a POETS day, and hit the 10 mile mark over the weekend.

What is a POETS day please?

Yes, I was wondering if that part was public. I guess so!

'Piss off early tomorrow's Saturday' I think.

Piss off Early Tomorrow's Saturday

Ie skiving work early!!!

There have been posts which say that the queue distance from Southward Park is 7 miles

But the tracker says that's 4.9 miles.

Is the difference the amount of snaking in Victoria Gardens?

I think I'd have possibly been a little miffed if i was there today, yesterday there was a single file queue either side but today there seems to be double queues either side.

Double queues and definitely moving them through more quickly.

Nope.

Yes - POETS - Piss off (or push off if you want to be politer) early, tomorrow's Saturday . Not an option for me, alas, as I work fixed hours but common in the type of job where you can work flexibly.

Thanks, not heard that one before.

Thee was definitely a dog last night. Perhaps it was some sort of assistance dog.

I'm starting to wonder if I've actually taken leave of my senses and should just cancel the whole thing!!

What's your time window, 12 hours? Are you leaving at midnight tonight ie Friday, or midnight Saturday? I think tomorrow will be longer because of the Vigil of the Princes?
