Timelapse of long queue to see Queen Elizabeth II's coffin

Ceremonial viewing areas along the procession route are now full, with mourners being turned away.

City Hall is asking people to instead head to the large screens in Hyde Park if they wish to see the procession of the late Queen's coffin.

More than a quarter of a million people are set to miss out on seeing Queen Elizabeth lying in rest with the queue expected to be 10 miles long, it emerged earlier today.
