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

The feeling of the last few going through is intense. They have the entire hall to themselves

SpinCityBlues · 19/09/2022 02:19

Hopefully it's to accommodate the 2am-3am accessible Queue?

SpinCityBlues · 19/09/2022 02:24

Goodness, is that the end?

Not with a bang but with a timber.

myteethwerefine · 19/09/2022 02:24

I don't want it to be the end....feel rather emotional.....

DysonSphere · 19/09/2022 02:25

I do hope there were 2-3 passes for the accessible queue. As they closed it yesterday, but time slots in the early hours of today were still supposed to have be given

Ladyglittersparkleseriously · 19/09/2022 02:25

Or are some really important people - that we're not allowed to see for some reason- coming through?

DysonSphere · 19/09/2022 02:26

Cleaning?

DysonSphere · 19/09/2022 02:27

Surely they will just cut the livestream if there are no more people?

camelfinger · 19/09/2022 02:31

As the camera panned upwards I couldn’t help but think of the sad Eastenders theme tune.

My kids thought I was mad to even be watching the live stream..if they come in my room now to see me watching a still of the ceiling....well...😃!

OMG has it all ended? That's it?? I would be pretty miffed if I had been one of the people turned away in the queue earlier at the wrist band cut off to find out they made their way through everyone 4hrs ahead of schedule. I mean I know obviously they didn't have a crystal ball to know how long it would take everyone to file through. But closing it 4hrs early is a lot. Perhaps they could just admit people at the door until 6:30

grateful4hrt · 19/09/2022 02:44

Still in queue, approx 100 people from the end. We've been told paused for cleaning. Hopeful of still making it through but it will be tight

bizzey · 19/09/2022 02:46

Ohh @grateful4hrt good luck !
Thanks for letting us know ☺️

God bless you for queuing. You don't know how much comfort it's giving me 😂

bizzey · 19/09/2022 02:48

They should at least go back to the 3/4 rows to get the last lot of people in ?

Oh wow thanks for the update. You'd think that they could just get the 100 people through and then do the cleaning Confused

bizzey · 19/09/2022 02:51

I will catch up on married at first sight while I wait !

bizzey · 19/09/2022 02:52

I wonder if the cleaning is at set regulation hours ?

bizzey · 19/09/2022 02:53

Precise hours I mean.

grateful4hrt · 19/09/2022 03:16

Well we've moved again now across the river and into the snake. Probably around 30-40 people behind us. Hoping that as we're in the snake we should make it...

DysonSphere · 19/09/2022 03:19

I'm super impressed with the parents making such effort with kids in tow.

MooseBeTimeForSnow · 19/09/2022 04:07

Watching from Canada. It’s only 9:07pm here, so I’m hoping to catch the close before I turn in for a couple of Hours and then get up for the funeral.

bizzey · 19/09/2022 04:21

They need to speed the flow up .
The 1x1 bowing is holding up people outside.
So hope everybody gets in .
