The alleged British love of queuing will be tested to destruction after the public were warned they could face a wait as long as 35 hours to file past the monarch’s coffin in London later this week.
On Monday night, tens of thousands of people queued through the night in Edinburgh to view the coffin in St. Giles’ Cathedral. The queues have stretched well over a mile from the church.
At one stage Monday, the queen’s body was watched over by a vigil of her four children, headed by King Charles.
