Thousands of mourners stayed there for hours on Saturday to honor the queen – many of them overnight.
The authorities estimated the waiting time on Saturday afternoon at around 14 hours. Waiting times of more than 24 hours had previously been reported.
The crowd greeted Charles (73) and William (40) with applause, cheers and shouts of “God save the King”. “I hope you’re not too cold,” the new king said to a woman waiting in line, according to the BBC. Temperatures had hit single digits in London overnight. The BBC mentioned “The Queue” in its weather report on Saturday morning as its own location with seven degrees Celsius.

The closed coffin of the Queen is laid out in the Westminster Hall of the British Parliament until Monday morning before the state funeral for the Queen, who sat on the throne for 70 years. Her eight grandchildren – including Princes William and Harry – held a 15-minute vigil on Saturday night.
