The queue to see Queen Elizabeths lying-in-state at Westminster Hall in London stretched to more than three miles long by Thursday morning, as thousands of people lined up to glimpse the late monarchs coffin.
A video shared by Twitter user @Ragusaecomites shows part of the line winding alongside the River Thames, past the Tate Modern museum.
Queen Elizabeth II died Sept. 8 at Balmoral Castle in Scotland at the age of 96. The queens eldest son and heir to the throne of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland is now King Charles III.
Following a service at St. Giles Cathedral in Edinburgh, the queens coffin was transported to London.
A royal procession on Wednesday escorted the queens coffin, atop a gun carriage and topped by her crown, to Westminster Hall, where the monarch will lie in state for viewing until the funeral on Monday at Westminster Abbey.
Queen Elizabeth ascended to the throne in 1952, making her the longest-lived and longest-reigning British monarch. Viewing will be open 24 hours a day until the funeral, allowing hundreds of thousands of mourners to pay their respects.
