Entrance to the queue to pay tribute to the Queen was initially paused for "at least" six hours as it reached capacity, the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport (DMCS) said. <img src="https://www.lindaikejisblog.com/photos/shares/632506bcb3cba.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="width: 400px; height: 259px" /> Now, entrance to the queue has resumed, with expected waiting times at one point hitting 24 hours. Queuing times were lasting as long as a full day and overnight temperatures will be cold, the government's official queue tracker has warned. <img src="https://www.lindaikejisblog.com/photos/shares/632506d71c971.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="width: 400px; height: 257px" /> Later into Friday evening, the queue wait time had reduced to just over 19 hours. The queue to reach the Queen’s coffin was almost five miles long when it was paused on Friday morning, tailing back from Westminster all the way to Southwark Park. <img src="https://www.lindaikejisblog.com/photos/shares/632507037eee7.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="width: 400px; height: 255px" /> A crowd formed around the entrance as people begged to be let in. <img src="https://www.lindaikejisblog.com/photos/shares/63250690e542c.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="width: 400px; height: 259px" /> "That has always been part of our planning and that is to make sure as many people as possible in the queue can enter the Palace of Westminster." <img src="https://www.lindaikejisblog.com/photos/shares/63250724b2753.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="width: 400px; height: 260px" /><img src="https://www.lindaikejisblog.com/photos/shares/6325073a8b77f.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="width: 400px; height: 296px" />The post <a href="http://www.lindaikejisblog.com/2022/9/waiting-time-in-queue-to-pay-respects-to-queen-elizabeth-ii-stretches-to-19-hours.html" target="_blank">Waiting time in queue to pay respects to Queen Elizabeth II stretches to 19 hours</a> appeared first on <a href="https://www.lindaikejisblog.com" target="_blank">Linda Ikeji Blog</a>.<a href="http://www.lindaikejisblog.com/2022/9/waiting-time-in-queue-to-pay-respects-to-queen-elizabeth-ii-stretches-to-19-hours.html" target="_blank">Continue reading...</a></blockquote>
