They’re all waiting and walking patiently to pay their respects to the late Queen. The line at this point near the London Eye will mean about 6 more hours. #TheQueen pic.twitter.com/EZo7O3AzOB

The line for the lying in state at Westminster Hall has been “paused” and no one else can join. The wait is 14 hours, the line 5 miles long. They say the pause will be 2-6 hours. #TheQueen pic.twitter.com/6L6T8waLQb
