I really want to see the lying in state in London as a sign of my respect for her majesty. I’ve been watching all coverage on TV and her dedication and loyalty to us all has been making me frankly emotional. I feel the least I can do to honour her is to brave the crowds and the conditions to see her lying in state.

However… I have (several) invisible disabilities including POTS and ME/CFS. These mean I get tired easily and when I overdo it am prone to collapsing. However, I’m willing to risk it for this last chance to pay my respects. Do you think I would qualify for the accessible queuing system? Would I need to bring “proof” of disability? I’ve got my PIP paperwork if that’s needed?

note: the guidance has just been released on gov website announcing the queuing route and the accessible queuing scheme which is much shorter and will operate on a ticketing basis. By all accounts you turn up at Tate Britain to get a timed ticket (nor guaranteed as depends on numbers I guess) then you go to the palace for the set time?

Moan moan moan. Nobody has more of a right than anybody else to see the Queen lying in state! People are so entitled nowadays.

Oh get lost. No one has said that here.

You've come on to moan though. The irony.

Can anyone tell me the closest I can drive to for Westminster Abbey? I've got to be back there for 6 in the morning but trains from Kent don't seem to start that early. I don't need parking because I can be dropped off

Did anyone arrive later than their allocated time slot?
