London Ambulance Service figures showed in the 12 hours to midnight on Friday evening, 275 people were treated, of which 39 were taken to hospital. She went on: “I always wanted to curtsy in front of the Queen when she was alive, and sort of felt it was important to come and do it now.” Ms Partridge, who left home at 3am to make the journey, said: “Even though they said it was closed I felt that need to come down.
She told PA: “I think we thought that we’re going to get down here and we were going to be turned away.Shiv Pandian, 58, from Raynes Park, south-west London, said his 30 years working as a urologist for the NHS had prepared him for a long wait. Paula Priest, 53, from Wolverhampton, said she was happy to wait “as long as it takes” to reach Westminster Hall.Those who braved the trip despite Government warnings were pleasantly surprised by the pace of the queue.
