I don’t have current live updates in my view right now. Here’s what I can share based on the historical context, and I can look up fresh details if you’d like.
- Elizabeth II’s lying-in-state occurred in Westminster Hall from 14 to 19 September 2022, with a famous queue known as “The Queue” that drew mourners from around the world. The queue length varied throughout the period, and entry was closed when capacity was reached on several occasions, with peak waits widely reported in hours.[3][4][5]
- After the lying-in-state period ended, the state funeral proceeded on 19 September 2022 at Westminster Abbey and Windsor, with procession to St George’s Chapel at Windsor for the service.[5]
If you want, I can fetch the latest live reporting on this topic and provide a concise timeline of the queue’s length and closing times, with citations. Would you like me to look up current coverage?
