Huge crowds gathered in central London to witness the queen being taken from the palace to parliament as artillery guns fired salutes and Big Ben tolled, the latest in a series of poignant ceremonies as the nation mourns the queen who died last week aged 96 after seven decades on the throne. A short service was held in Westminster Hall, conducted by the Archbishop of Canterbury, the spiritual head of the Anglican Church, as senior politicians watched on. Just after 5 p.m., the public began to file past the coffin, some in tears, many bowing their heads. There will be a constant stream of mourners, 24 hours a day, during the four days of lying in the state that lasts until the morning of the funeral on Sept. 19.
