Reached by phone Friday afternoon while he was in line, Kenney said he expected to reach the front of the queue around 8 a.m. London time. He said when he was 14, he woke up in the early hours of the morning during a trip to Victoria to make sure he had a spot to see the Queen and Prince Phillip. After that, he had promised himself he would be in attendance for the Queen’s funeral.Article content
Kenney said the mood in line was “convivial” but was not a festival. He said there was a shared sense of grief but that there was a shared sense of solidarity.
