The queue for Queen Elizabeth’s coffin in Westminster Hall has continued to grow throughout the morning as thousands of people want to see the Queen lie in state.

On Friday morning, when the queue was about eight kilometers long, a temporary stop of six hours was introduced during which no new queuers are allowed to join, the British government announced.

Around 1,000 officials are working to keep the queue in order, and 500 bajamajors have been set up.

The Queen will be buried on Monday.
