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!

Personally I would have struggled to walk across that stone floor in a high heels. Let alone down the stairs.

Those stairs in Westminster Hall look so steep !
I know I'd struggle in walking boots let alone any heels.

Who are the guards who have the ostrich feathers plumes on the metal helmets? I've found the ones with the red or white horsehair plumes but not the feathered ones.

Lifeguards?

That's what I thought but I can only see the horsehair plumes for them.

i guess these must be "special" lifeguards of some kind?

i can't find them anywhere - my Google skills are clearly rubbish!

This is utterly brilliant.

It's the new Candle in the Wind @IsFuzzyBeagMise

Brilliant @ShamedBySiri 😂

Can you imagine being the last person in the queue?

I think it was brilliant that never closed the hall for Biden and other leaders and royals. The security services must be having kittens, but it was the right thing to do.

That would be a magnificent spot to have in history 😂 wonder if people are going to try and be "the last person" in the hall

I'd rather be asleep right now, but I'm awake and now can't stop watching the queue to see it end. Still plenty filing past so I can't help feeling there are going to be a few disappointed people at the back getting the door slammed in their faces. They just did a changing of the guard but I think timing means they will do one more although those ones won't do a full watch. Or maybe they will even though there will be no more public. Presumably it still needs guarding and watching over until the time of transfer out of the hall.

I'm watching too Siri with TV on as well. I think they'll get everyone through.

Fin.

Last but one lady smiled for the camera bobbed with the official and then did a deep bow. She should have been the last!

I don't know what I'm going to do without it! If anything could change my general view that we should get rid of the monarchy, it would be the lying in state.

It's a national pastime!

Someone on news has just said that being in the queue was the best thing she's ever done including having her children!!!!

😮

I'm equally dumbstruck by how amazing Felicity Kendall looks - she's 75!!! Her skin is perfect so she must be botoxed but done very well.

Off topic ...😁
