- Summary: Over four and a half days before her funeral, on September 19, about 250,000 members of the public queued to see the Queen lying in state in Westminster Hall, many waiting through the night for their chance to pay their final respects. At its maximum the queue stretched approximately 10 miles (16 kilometres) down the River Thames, beyond Tower Bridge to Southwark Park, with mourners reporting wait times of 14 hours and over. Queen Elizabeth's grandchildren held a vigil around her coffin for 15 minutes during the lying-in-state, as members of the public filed by.
