End of the line for people hoping to join the Queen queue: Mourners told not to set off for lying-in-state as queue closure imminent
The government is monitoring the situation and will provide an official cut-off point for people hoping to join, with public viewing set to close at 6.30am tomorrow.
In a moment of confusion, people travelling on the London Underground were also urged not to join the queue - with an announcement at South Kensington station warning travellers that the queue was "closed" . Later, Transport for London and the Department for Culture, Media and Sport insisted that the message had been read in error.
At 8pm, the country will observe a one-minute silence to remember the Queen, with people invited to mark the occasion privately at home, on their doorstep or street, or at community events and vigils.It will come shortly after the Queen Consort pays a televised tribute to the late monarch, recalling her "wonderful blue eyes" and saying: "I will always remember her smile."
Meanwhile, Liz Truss is to have an audience with King Charles III before attending his reception for visiting heads of state at Buckingham Palace. On Saturday evening, the Queen's eight grandchildren together staged a heart-rending evening vigil around their beloved Granny's coffin.
