YouTube Description
as posted by the channelThe queue through London for people to pay their respects to the late Queen Elizabeth II was paused briefly on Friday due to the volume of mourners wanting to file past the coffin.
The flood of grief from the death of Queen Elizabeth II forced the British government to call a temporarily halt to people joining a miles-long line to see her coffin as it lay in state Friday, hours before King Charles III and his siblings were to stand vigil in the historic Westminster Hall.
A live tracker of the queue said it was "at capacity" and entry was being "paused" for six hours as waiting times reached 14 hours and the line stretched 5 miles (8km) from Parliament to Southwark Park in south London and then around the park.
Despite the wait, James Osborne who came from Bournemouth with his four-month old baby to see the Queen's coffin, said people are in good spirits.
"There was about 30 minutes where everyone didn't know what was happening, a bit of frustration out there. But now that we're in the queue, everyone's sort of happy and upbeat, I guess," Osborne said.
King Charles III returns to London later Friday and will briefly stand vigil at his mother’s coffin in the evening with his siblings, Princess Anne, Prince Andrew and Prince Edward.
A day later, all eight of Queen Elizabeth II’s grandchildren are expected to stand vigil beside her coffin for 15 minutes.
