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 literally watched 5 seconds of the live stream having read on here how peaceful it was. Then crash.

Whoever is in charge of the cameras has done a sterling job in changing to an outside shot.

Hope he is ok.

Although theyve cut the live feed, i can hear the marching, so it must be continuing..

I think his legs have gone to sleep. Must be hard to stand for so long!

He didn't fall on his sword thankfully.

gosh!!!!

Cant go to bed now until they resume.. hope hes ok!!

WTAF! there was blood on the floor immediately. Honestly I think that was a disgrace, he was falling for ages and his colleague did NOTHING to prevent it or help him...all for the sake of not wanting to spoil the symmetry.

That guy could have died. He fully face planted a stone floor. Absolutely awful priorities there

@CrapBucket it was going so well until you showed up 🤣

What? Like the Lions Club do with the Father Christmas float during December around all the local estates?

Did it this evening
Do not take make up, hand cream, eye drops, lighters or perfume with you. These all were among the items which were confiscated as prohibited during the security check

I hope that fella is OK, they're taking a long time to go back to the live feed

I really hope he's ok, that was a nasty fall

Ah we're back..how will we know if hes ok??

@PinkSnowAndStars Don't blame @CrapBucket, it was probably me. Stuff like this always happens when I watch a live stream.

The first boxing match I ever watched live was the one where someone parachuted in to the ring and fell on one of the boxer's pregnant wives

I'll just go to bed now, probably for the best.

Did the poor man faint? Standing so still for so long in such a pressured environment must have taken its toll. When he fell, I thought there was something liquid on the floor. Was it blood as a pp suggested? I hope he’s not badly hurt.

I started watching it due to this thread. That poor guard.

They only stand for 20 minutes or so. They change them over really frequently.

Oh this is good to know! So no powder compacts or lipsticks? Surely every woman must have these in her bag though??

I was thinking about bringing a small collapsable stool and hoping I could put it in the bag check? Or leave it somewhere and get it? Do you know if that's possible?

But some of them appear to be elderly.

These are the royal archers according to Twitter.

How do you get on this livefeed please 🙂

It's on BBC iPlayer
