The queen is going to be lying-in-state from about now until 6:30 AM on the morning of her funeral. According to the Department for Culture, Media and Sport, the queue is currently (at 17:00 UK time on 2022/09/14) 2.5 miles long, reaching past London Bridge.
Pictured above is the maximum possible queue, which would be, according to the BBC, 10 miles long, including 3 miles of queue in Southwark Park, which is not pronounced the way it looks.
The queue has reached capacity today, Friday 2022/09/16. It was estimated at over 5 miles when entry was paused. Wait times are estimated at 14 hours from the back of the queue, and nobody is allowed to enter it for six hours.
I mean to be fair it will be the only chance anyone has to eat a piece of the queen
