LONDON: The line to view the coffin of Queen Elizabeth II lying in state in Westminster Hall was nearly five kilometres long on Thursday. By Friday morning it had grown to eight kilometres. Then, an update from the government: The Queue — with a capital Q, having taken on a life of its own in recent days — was full.
Would-be mourners were told they would be temporarily turned away for at least six hours, starting at about 9.50am local time.
