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!

Thank you for clarifying :)

I'm.laughing to myself at something that's just come into my head.Queued 12 hours thur/fri with Dc to see the Queen lying-in-state. Last night on way home and was at train station and needed a wee. Got to the toilet and said to DC "forget it, the queues too big"
The irony😀

Sorry but you need to put m and s branding on this to properly appreciate the idea.

The Queen was dedicated to Quality, Value and Service.

Its not just any coffin. Its a extra special coffin with lead lining.

And the corpse is 100% British made*.

(*kinda)

😂

how did you feel after? Legs must be like lead.

Grandchildren have arrived so it won't be long now . How annoying if you just leave as they come !!

How hard that will be for the youngest grandchildren, especially James, only 14 and not used to doing public state occasions, especially without parents. And Louise too, though she's a bit more used to it I guess and a bit older.

But the livestream doesn't seem too live - it's a minute or so behind what's being shown on tv at the moment

So weird how people walk past without stopping / bowing or looking!!

Sophie looks knackered . Or stressed

Dd is 14 and I think would want to do this if it was her gran and she would be ok.

It's definitely changed since the first day of the queue, when people were going in steady single file and had time to curtsy, now etc, all seems v v rushed now with 3 lines of people either side.

I think some 14 year olds would be fine. He seems to be less comfortable in public or noisy crowds or whatever, though, from previous views of him, and doing this without his parents right there must take bravery I think. Even with his cousins around.

I think a lot of people probably do their stop & bow when slightly further back and others in front are stopping and bowing. It is quite considerate really as it speeds the queue up. They just don't need to be right in front of the side in poll position.

I think there must be a slight delay incase something happens like when the guard fainted or that guy being arrested last night, so they have chance to cut it off before it's shown on the stream.

Yes I think it's brave of all of them to be honest !

His parents are right there in front of him for when he looks up.

Who is the young blonde girl?

and the boy?

Interesting how when it was the childrens vigil Charles stood facing the entrance, but this time its Harry facing the entrance. I would have thought that William would have faced the entrance and the oncoming crowds.

James and Louise - Prince Edward's children

Sophie looked very emotional, must be difficult watching her children especially as they aren't in the public eye as much as the others and so young.

I think William stood where King Charles was. The Prince of York stood where Harry was.

I wonder if they are asking people not to stop now? Some are whizzing past.

She's aged about 10 years in the last week poor thing

It must be a mixture of pride but also sadness that they have to do that.

Oh I thought it was the other way round, perhaps Im thinking of Scotland

14 is also a lovely age when you start to really see your child mature , I think it's quite an emotional time anyway so seeing him do that must have been quite a moment for her
