Livestream of the Queen Lying-in-State

[Confusedandanxiety]

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

Well, they have plenty of time to do the research.

I wonder if they will do any 'post queue' interviews on the experience?

It's brilliant isn't it!

Will be so interesting to see the results of these studies!

I definitely think there is an element of wanting to be part of 'something bigger'!

I've been dipping in and out of this livestream since it started. I think I'm ready for a bit of a commentary along with it now. Marks out of ten for bowing/curtsey/salute etc.
I said on another thread that I was really surprised at the close ups and hoped none of these people had pulled a sickie to do this.

Interesting. They remind me of the extras in the Walking Dead.

I've just logged on for some viewing.

Is it just me or are the steps less busy than previously?

Also just saw a lady with a red jumper being told to put her phone away 🤦🏻‍♀️

Just getting my morning fix of it now! Oh I'll be sad when this ends...
It'd be a great subject for a film, in a few years time, simply titled The Queue. Or a series of films - so many possibilities and sub-plots!

i wondered what will happen when Joe Biden goes through?

Did nobody else see the news about a man rushing to touch the coffin and being tackled to the ground before being hauled away?

he has been arrested and the woman whose 7 year old daughter/neice was knocked over wanted to go through again for a better experience

Is he due today?

Does anyone know what time they are going to shut the queue? (I know the accessible queue has already shut)

I'm tempted to go down but don't want to go and then be told it's shut.
Wouldn't be able to get there till 1-2pm.. probably too late.

They are saying it will close this afternoon or early evening. You might be lucky.

I just read it’s 13hrs now, so you should be ok - isn’t it open until 6.30am tomorrow?

Pressed post too soon! @CPL593H if you did happen to be too late you could still go up to Green park and see the tributes and walk up to Buckingham palace, I’d go.

Who on earth does this man think he is? Strictly breaking protocol for a photo opportunity. So disrespectful.

Happened around 8ish am.

He'd been up in the gallery.

This

President Biden landed in the UK last night apparently, so I imagine would go to Westminster Hall today.

Yes, I was aghast when I saw that too. I don't know how he got away with it

joe biden already been through?

oh no, sorry, another dignatory

Thanks @Hotandbothereds but think this was for @CTPT ! If you do go I hope it is smooth for you

Gosh! I wonder if anyone noticed and if he will face repercussions. From his outfit and gallery position he looks like a dignitary or other VIP.

A thread about a livestream without a link to the livestream. Can someone post a link to this livestream because I didn't know it existed and would really love to see it.

I just re-watched the iPlayer footage (time stamp is from 8.07 am, for anyone curious).

Phone man furtively looks round, whips out phone, takes oh-so-subtle video/pic of Mr VIP, and usher chap clocks what's happening.

Looks pretty unimpressed! Goes to approach them, but they swan off through the private exit.
