- The Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport tweeted regarding Southwark Park.
- The wait time for Her Majesty’s casket has now reached 14 hours.
- The ambiance in Westminster Hall was “sorrowful but thankful,” according to Heffernan.
British government representatives momentarily closed the back of the line for those waiting to see Queen Elizabeth II lie in state at Westminster Hall, preventing fresh mourners from joining the already-existing line.
According to the news, the line for guests was approximately 5 miles long and the wait time had reached 14 hours.
The Department for Digital, Culture, Media, and Sport of the United Kingdom government has been providing consistent updates on the wait on Twitter. The account stated that after Southwark Park “reached capacity,” admission to the line will be suspended “for at least 6 hours,” as of Friday morning, just before 10 a.m. local time.
