The queue to see Queen Elizabeth II lying in state reached an expected wait time of at least 24 hours on Friday afternoon. Wall Street Journal photographers followed the miles-long line.
Sept. 17, 2022A continuously moving line of mourners stretches along the River Thames, as people make their way toward Westminster Hall to pay their respects.
“He was also looking for it, so we decided to find it together. We both changed into our outfits as we were queuing, him in his tartan and I in my side-saddle riding outfit. The queen used to ride side-saddle and I wanted to honor her this way.”Mourners walking along the queue in the South Bank neighborhood.
“I'm interested in people queueing and doing nothing, rather than the pomp and ceremony. All this kind of reminds me of lockdown, with the streets empty of cars and people just wondering around.”Journalists set up near the queue on the Thames's south bank, opposite the Palace of Westminster.Ms. McDermott first saw the queen at an event 30 years ago
“I've probably overdone it with the snacks. I was anticipating a 12-hour wait, maybe longer. Now we have to figure out how to eat them all before we get there as they won't let us bring anything in.”“I thought standing in a queue for a whole day is very bizarre and also very British, so I wanted to take part as I didn't have much else to do today.”Volunteers, food vendors, security and first-aid workers are all stationed along the queue.
