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

I suppose we can’t see how many are left outside. I imagine they’ll tell folks to get a shuffle on if it’s looking tight to get them all
in.

MooseBeTimeForSnow · 19/09/2022 04:31

How are you getting on @grateful4hrt?

grateful4hrt · 19/09/2022 04:39

Still snaking! So hard to judge times. Holding on to the hope that if they thought it was too tight they would
Revert to double filing inside.

Are you watching the live stream from outside ?

MooseBeTimeForSnow · 19/09/2022 04:57

A man just went through that looked just like Tom Kerridge.

MooseBeTimeForSnow · 19/09/2022 05:00

Looks like they’ve started the double file again?

Flittingaboutagain · 19/09/2022 05:03

Feeling so emotional watching it on and off this week. I have this feeling of dread for people in the queue at the point of closing the Abbey if not everyone can get in. The disappointment will be really emotionally painful for some I imagine, who have invested in the idea of saying goodbye and giving thanks in person.

Kezzie200 · 19/09/2022 05:19

People are doing a lot more bowing, saluting etc at this time of the morning! There are double filings both sides now so hopefully all waiting will get a chance and they will stop the queue with some spare time.

MooseBeTimeForSnow · 19/09/2022 05:33

You can see the staff starting to move people on. Less than an hour to go!

bare · 19/09/2022 05:49

Back up to four lines now and a pretty quick pace

MooseBeTimeForSnow · 19/09/2022 06:03

Will this be the last change?

MooseBeTimeForSnow · 19/09/2022 06:03

Will this be the last change?

I hope they treat us to one more. But maybe some other spectacle at the end instead.
I'm glued to the last 15 minutes.
So this is it folks, our guilty pleasure over the last few days is nearing its end. Sigh! It's been a memorable few days... I'm relishing the last few minutes

derxa · 19/09/2022 06:20

I still can't get over the diversity of the Queue. Not long to go now

MooseBeTimeForSnow · 19/09/2022 06:24

@grateful4hrt I know your phone will be off but I’m hoping you’re in the hall for this last change.

LouLou789 · 19/09/2022 06:25

Wow I’m surprised they had that final change when there are so few people left!

TugboatAnnie · 19/09/2022 06:31

I'm hoping there aren't people left outside the doors

DysonSphere · 19/09/2022 06:35

It's over!

I loved every minute of watching it, what a historic moment. BBC have done a brilliant job. Am already feeling the end of it😥

Flittingaboutagain · 19/09/2022 06:35

Me too. Really moving.

WanderingFruitWonderer · 19/09/2022 06:39

Was lovely having all of you to share my addiction with! I still haven't figured out exactly what it was about it that captivated me so much, as a non-royalist, anti-establishment Green Party voter! But captivated I was 😊

Antarcticant · 19/09/2022 06:55

Very sad it's all over, said this die-hard republican 😂Strange how soothing it was.

MrsLargeEmbodied · 19/09/2022 06:55

Dh joined in the addiction and was watching when I got up to see the last few, special moment for them

MrsLargeEmbodied · 19/09/2022 07:06

oh i see the last half an hour is on iplayer for those of us who didnt make it

part of the appeal is the silence, and reverance.

Ryder68 · 19/09/2022 07:19

Watching last half hour.Thanks MrsL

CTPT · 19/09/2022 07:26

Hurrah. But is there now a queue to watch the funeral tomorrow? i heard there were tents...

Down one of the streets outside the hall there were already what looked like 3-4 rows of people sitting waiting for the funeral from 11pm last night.

lollipoprainbow · 19/09/2022 07:43

Did anyone watch right until the end? What happened did the live stream just end abruptly?
