Here's first thread:

Anyone joined the queue what's it like atm?

@DysonSphere
Fantastic. So glad I did it. Such an amazing experience. Thanks for asking.

Now at London bridge. Maybe they hope by asking people not to travel it will naturally wind down.

Yep! I walked right past her and didn’t even notice

Queue end is London Bridge now!

What do you think the cheering was just now?

Just realised it was prob end of the minute's silence

It's at 7 hours according to the tracker, so if it doesn't get longer in theory you'd be OK to join up till 11:30pm

I think the changes to the end of the queue have been great management. I was way out saying that they’d close at 3, they have done such a great job.

Conversely if it keeps getting shorter 3-4am may be prime time to join! You could well be looking at an hours wait max by then. I think most people have either now been or resigned themselves to not going.

Interesting thought, and yes superb management!

I was just thinking that people who queued for hours might be pissed off of there’s going to be a group who get in in a relatively short period.

did the silence and one neighbour just returned from Green Park. Said it was lovely.

Are any other MPs helping out? That's quite decent of her.

Andrew Stephenson is with Pritti

Brilliant! Glad you had a great time!🙂

And well done!

I wish I could have gone but health issues and child at home prevent that

Not wanting to derail but how do you all stand for 10+ hours and also no sleeping/resting ?

I hope it keeps rain free tonight for you all

Time now 8 hours so will have to shut off soon.

anyone know which exit to use from London Bridge Station.please

I've been watching the live feed - I can see that people are being filtered into two lanes each side of the catafalque. Is it random whether you get to go left or right and whether you are in the nearest or furthest lane?

I'm just wondering how people feel to have queued for hours to end up paying their respects with other people standing in front of them.

I can completely see why they have the four lanes though.

You are funnelled yes and you are told when to move along. However, I was in the third column and then waited for a pause in the queue and respectfully moved forward so I could pay my respects without anyone in front of me. Nobody seemed to have minded. It gave us all those brief seconds longer in the Hall.

Go to Bermondsey not LB

Thank you. Everyone seems to be incredibly respectful of everyone else. It is really rather moving to watch.

I think Hays Galleria exit from London Bridge but not sure.

when will the Queue close, is now the $64million question. If I wasn’t at mum’s I’d consider going myself.

If the estimated time is 8 hours surely it must close shortly to be clear by 6:30.

From where the Queue starts now can’t be 8 hours unless it’s closed for rehearsal for a bit? Do you think they might be keeping that time listed to deter people?
