Details have been published on how the public can attend the Queen’s lying-in-state, with people warned to expect long queues and be prepared to stand for many hours through the night. It also set out guidelines on how people should behave and what they should wear, saying they should remain silent inside the Palace of Westminster. Details of the route for the lying-in-state queue will be published at 10pm on Tuesday September 13, with full guidance on the gov.uk website. The queue may close early to ensure as many visitors as possible can enter before the lying-in-state period comes to an end. The Queen’s coffin will be guarded around the clock by a vigil of units from the Sovereign’s Bodyguard, the Household Division, or Yeoman Warders of the Tower of London.
