24 Hour Queues

[naomi24]

Did I hear the BBC right? I’m sure they said the wait to pay respects to the queen is now 24 hours.

The question is would you? I wouldn’t.

[Cloverjo]

No, I wouldn’t. Nor would I if the queue was 1 hour long.

[anneasquith]

The funeral is being postponed for another 7 days . !!

[burlyshirley1]

Yes, if I was up to it, I certainly would. I'd love to be in London now chatting to all the like minded people and getting to know them, all with one thought in mind.

[jourdain2]

I couldn't physically. But I wouldn't travel to London anyway. I've paid my respects to Her Maj. and will do so again from a distance.
So I suppose the answer is 'No, I wouldn't.'

[THECORBYLOON]

ANNE, what are you on about?

[pastafreak]

Daughter and her partner haven't decided...I suspect they are sitting over a few pints now. Daughter said if it was 20 hours she would. 24 hours is a lot even for younger people.

[Canary42]

No I wouldn't, and as for bringing little toddlers/buggies along at 2 o'clock in the morning (both of which I've spotted), I think it's disgraceful.

[THECORBYLOON]

I noticed yesterday and of timesright now for instance, the live stream shows the tower of Westminster Hall (not being a Londoner, apologies if that is not the correct term) and not inside.

Any ideas why?

[THECORBYLOON]

I noticed yesterday and right now for instance...

[MissTerious]

No

[THECORBYLOON]

Having waited for almost a day, would someone leave rather than wait another four hour?

[pastafreak]

Daughter and her partner have decided to go back home and wake in the early hours to check the queue wait.

[MissTerious]

Actually, I couldn't queue at all, but if I could I wouldn't. Not to just walk past a coffin. It doesn't mean I'm disrespectful. As for dragging young children along I think that's very unfair,verging on cruel with babies

TCL, Sky's live stream seems to be from inside

[jno]

they seem to be changing the guard now

[goodgoalie]

The live stream is on permanently on the BBC Parliament Channel: Freeview 232

[THECORBYLOON]

I was watching it on freeview at the time and this is a screenshot of the Sky live stream on YouTube at about the time I posted

TCL, at the time you posted, somebody hopped up the steps to touch the coffin and was quickly arrested. Broadcasters cut away to exterior shots

[Barsel]

I wonder what he can be charged with? Stupid man.

[Barmaid]

Not a chance. I hate queues, they are too peopley.
