anyone queuing to see the coffin in London atm?

[DickDarstedly]

I am wondering how long the queue is and how the organisation is working out. Are there enough toilets? Is it true that the wristband allows you to leave and come back?

I’m not queuing but I walked past the end of the queue about 30 minutes ago and it was just past the Globe Theatre. It seemed pretty calm and there were a lot of stewards and St. John’s ambulance around.

Thank you!

It's been reported there are portoloos and some museums/cafes are allowing access to their toilets. I'm sure you've seen it, but the wristbands were reported earlier on the news that they give you access if you've had to leave the queue. Are you thinking of going?

I would be interested to know the current estimated queuing time, if anyone knows?

I stayed away from the procession today as was afraid it would be too crowded, but regretting it now and would like to pay my respects.

I'd like to know average time too. As I'm going tomorrow

30 hours according to the daily Mail

Queue tracker is here:

Thanks for sharing link.

It’d be better if they posted approx wait time rather than distance as that could mean anything.

Why would you do this?

Because they want to. The same reason lots of people do lots of things.

Someone on their twitter said it's 2.5 hours per mile....

No, and I’m now rather dreading our pre-planned weekend in London for a non-negotiable appointment. Hopefully none of them have any business in Shoreditch.

I think that is what it could become not what it actually is

Have a little think.🙄

Use the official DCMS social channels to see the queuing time

The DCMS tracker doesn’t estimate time, just distance

Thats reduced from earlier, how strange, it was nearly 3 miles about 530

You wouldn't stand 30
Hours in the rain to see your own nan ! You people
Amaze me !

I'm not there but someone I know joined the queue at 3pm at Blackfriars Bridge and just got in around 15 minutes ago. Take into account they didn't open until 5,

That’s not that bad at all

So how does it work overnight? Surely people need to sleep? Wee/poo/eat? What happens if you fall asleep and the queue moves? I don't get it??

It would normally take 45 minutes to walk at a brisk pace to Westminster Hall from where the queue starts, so I reckon at a slow shuffle it will be at least three times that.

It doesn't stop. You keep walking all the time

What if you're asleep? Is overtaking allowed?
