Queen funeral: Final person in the queue to see Queen's coffin before the funeral

Queen funeral: Final person in the queue pays respect to The Queen lying-in-state. The Queen's lying in state has now officially finished ahead of her funeral today, with an estimated 400,000 mourners thought to have passed through Westminster Hall over the past five days. The final people were admitted to the line to see the Queen's coffin at about 10.30pm last night, which gave them time to make it through before the closure at 6.30am this morning. The line was opened at 5pm last Wednesday. But some mourners who queued for hours through the night without wristbands have vented their frustrations at police after being turned away from the lying in state. Dozens of mourners were prevented in the early hours of today from advancing any closer to Westminster Hall by police at the entrance to Victoria Tower Gardens next to Lambeth Bridge. Mourners, some of whom were in tears, complained to police that they had been 'lied to' earlier in the night about the chances of being able to get into Westminster Hall.
