Queen's lying-in-state: How long is the queue?

Huge queues have formed along the banks of the River Thames, as people wait to pay their respects to the Queen.

Her lying-in-state will continue 24 hours a day until 06:30 BST on Monday 19 September - the day of the funeral. Here's what you need to know before joining the queue.

How long will I have to queue?

The queue is about five miles long, stretching to Southwark Park and is currently at capacity. It has now been paused for at least six hours and government has advised people not to attempt to join it until it re-opens.

For those already in the queue, the estimated wait time is about 14 hours.

The government has published a live queue tracker for people to follow on YouTube.

People queuing are being warned they will need to stand for many hours with little opportunity to sit down, as the queue is constantly moving.

The maximum length the queue can be is 10 miles - with 6.9 miles from Westminster to Southwark, and a three-mile zigzag queue in Southwark Park.
