The queue of citizens to pay their last respects to Queen Elizabeth II is up to 7.8 kilometers long while waiting up to 14 hours to enter Westminster.
The Department for Culture, Media and Sport has confirmed that it has temporarily suspended access to South Park, as the latter has reached maximum capacity.
“The government has announced that entry into the queue has been interrupted for at least six hours after it has reached capacity”, he writes in the announcement.
Over 40 police forces are contributing to the security operation for the Queen’s funeral. We emphasize that Elizabeth II has passed away at the age of 96 in the Balmoral Palace of Scotland.
Many world leaders and various dignitaries are expected to attend the funeral of Elizabeth II, which is expected to be held on Monday.
The Queen is expected to rest in peace next to husband Prince Philip, who died last year aged 99.
