The entrance to the queue to see Queen Elizabeth as she lies in state was shut today as the five-mile line that stretches from Westminster to Southwark Park reached capacity. You can see the latest updates from the live stream here.
But David Beckham made it in. He joined the queue at 2am and 12 hours later reached Victoria Gardens. After an exceptionally busy week, I’m too exhausted to be cynical about this. Give that man a knighthood.
