the queue gets longer to gather in front of the queen’s coffin

A crowd as far as the eye can see. Friday, September 16 in the morning, in London (United Kingdom), it took 14 hours of patience to be able to bow before the queen’s coffin. Despite the phlegm and discipline of the British, the authorities preferred to temporarily suspend access. For the lucky ones who came before, no sacrifice is too great for their queen. “If necessary, I would even have waited three days”, assures a Londoner.

Patient and far-sighted, the English came with enough provisions to last. They have planned something to eat, warm up, but also something to exchange. After endless hours of waiting, Londoners and tourists can finally gather in front of the coffin of Elizabeth II, surmounted by the imperial crown. Among the many anonymous, one of his majesty’s subjects did not go unnoticed. Ex-footballer David Beckham also wanted to experience this historic moment.
