There’s a huge queue of people waiting to see the Queen lying-in-state – 17 tweets worth getting in line for
10.
Ok, what the officials are going to attempt has never been done before, but tonight, under the cover of darkness, they’re going to surreptitiously join the end of the queue to the front of the queue to form a continuous circle of mourners that will survive now for generations.

Are you ready for the most British of British things ever? 🇬🇧
This is the Queue of journalists waiting to interview the Queuers, who are already lining up in the rain 24 hours early to see the Queen lying in state. pic.twitter.com/dm27baGQQy

I would like to know how many people in the queue to see the Queen are 1) there to see her, 2) saw a queue and thought there might be free stuff at the end of it, 3) standing in it out of instinctive Britishness, 4) lost and waiting for a bus.

If there's one thing more British than being in a 2 mile long queue, it's watching a livestream of a 2 mile long queue
(which is what I am currently doing)

I think I've been in the wrong queue. Appear to be heading into the M&M's World. The queue wouldn't be going through there would it? I've joined the wrong queue.

Half of the people in that queue are going to be furious when they find out it doesn't end at an Apple Store.

What are the broadcasters going to do now, interview everyone in the queue for five days?

To conclude …
People of the world… we Brits have been preparing our whole lives for a queue like this. We are magnificent at it.
Lovely to see some of the conversations and kindness along the route.#QueueForTheQueen pic.twitter.com/lcVcUycGzm— Dan Walker (@mrdanwalker) September 14, 2022
