Timelapse footage shows thousands of people queue to see the Queen lying in state The line is now about five miles (8km) long with people waiting up to 14 hours
BBC correspondent Frank Gardner said a police inspector has told people waiting to join that queue there would be no wristbands granting entry until at least noon on Saturday.
For many of those currently in the main queue, latest estimates suggest they will not enter Westminster Hall until after midnight. He told the BBC he had been queuing for about 12 hours, having joined at about 02:00, and had been sharing food with those around him. When asked how he was managing, the ex-England captain said his knees were okay but "it's the back and the feet" that were feeling the effects of 12 hours of queuing.
