The Queue to see the Queen lie in state has been paused for at least six hours

Mourners lining up to attend Queen Elizabeth II's lying in state will have to wait a little longer, now that the queue has reached full capacity. The government has said that no one can join the queue for at least six hours, as they try to get as many people through Westminster Hall as possible.

The queue, which reaches all the way down to Southwark Park, Bermondsey, stretches more than four miles. The Department for Culture, Media, and Sport has warned people to stay away from the queue and to not attempt to join it until it reopens. This means that no one is allowed to join the queue today until at least 4pm, and this is dependent on how quickly the queue moves throughout the day.

How can I keep track of the queue?

This live tracker will update when the queue has reopened and is no longer at maximum capacity.

The lying in state will be open 24 hours a day until closing at 6.30am on Monday, ahead of the state funeral in Westminster Abbey.
