Wait more than 24 hours

Queues to gain access to the interior of the burning Church of Queen Elizabeth II in central London are experiencing long 24-hour waits and overcapacity, British officials warned this Saturday.

At 08:00 local time (07:00 GMT), the Culture Ministry warned in a message that it would now take a full day for those joining the queue to reach Westminster Hall, the seat of Parliament where the coffin is kept. That means maximum capacity is about to be reached, at which point more people will be prevented from queuing to bid farewell to the Queen.

This morning, the ministry had already asked in another message that no one else should join the long queue for now, which had to be interrupted for seven hours yesterday to avoid overcrowding.
