Queuing at Westminster Hall for Elizabeth’s coffin to the bodyguards has already become a concept. The line winds along the banks of the Thames and sometimes makes turns behind the houses. There are water stations and, of course, toilets for those waiting in line.
Can you imagine that time will be long?
– Heh, not really. We chatted with other queuers. Everyone is so nice, Tina says as Chris nods next to her.
According to Chris, the time actually passed quite quickly.
The decision to travel to London for the bodyguards was made a week ago.
– Despite the sadness, this was an incredible experience. We will never forget this, says Tina.
– We never, Chris adds.
