Members of the pubic have begun paying their respects to the Queen as her lying-in-state begins
Doors opened at 5pm, with members of the public seizing the opportunity to say a personal farewell ahead of the Queen's funeral on Monday.
Emotional visitors could be seen passing the monarch's coffin, with their heads bowed out of respect. Each corner of the coffin, which is adorned by the Royal Standard, will be guarded 24 hours a day by soldiers from units that serve the Royal Household, including the Grenadier Guards and Blues and Royals.
Royal fans have been queuing for days in anticipation of the event, with the line snaking for miles along the Thames from Albert Embankment through to Southwark Park at maximum capacity. To help avoid disappointment, it is understood that entry to the back of the queue may be closed early, although it is too early to estimate when that moment might come.
