I've been finding this mesmerising so thought I'd create a dedicated thread.
Saw Justin Trudeau and his wife pass through earlier.

The Queue is so zen. I have had it on in the background for days. It is just so soothing and I really like and feel oddly comforted by seeing people file past. Almost like every single person is a loved family member that I am so pleased to see on the screen. It's simply wonderful.

Anyone know if the full livestream is going to be put up anywhere? Presumably it’s been recorded for posterity? I queued up for accessibility tickets on Friday with a ninety year old chap. At that point tickets were being given out for either 2am or 8am on Saturday morning.

I decided to go home when I finally got my ticket at 2pm and come back at 8am on Saturday as I live in London, but he got a ticket for 2am as he’d come in from surrey. I feel really guilty as he’d lost his walking stick and was struggling (though I’m also disabled so was struggling too after 2 hours queueing). We’d struck up conversation as we were both alone in the ticket queue and I can’t stop thinking about him and whether he was ok waiting all that time in the cold to join the main queue without his stick. If I could see him on the livestream I’d at least know he got to Westminster hall. I don’t even know his name!

A pp upthread said youtube for a month?

I'll probably be awake at 2am with it on in the background, so could watch out. You know the rules, artist's impression please.

it is so zen
and the silence apart from the change over is soothing

DysonSphere · 18/09/2022 20:25

Where is this lady Beefeater then? Or am I not paying attention?

MrsLargeEmbodied · 18/09/2022 20:30

DysonSphere · 18/09/2022 20:30

Jellykat · 18/09/2022 20:30

Jellykat · 18/09/2022 20:33

Who are these people?

MaggieFS · 18/09/2022 20:34

Could really do with notes on who the VIPs are? Huge apologies and no offence intended if I get these wrong, but someone in Arab dress, I think Japanese and then quite a tall gent with receding hairline and family in tow?
