    Now at 14 hours and starting in Bermondsey thats insane

    can anyone explain to me why you would join a slow moving queue for around 14 hours to walk past a closed coffin, so join the queue now and get there in the early hours of tomorrow morning I just dont get it -

    Anyone on here been or know someone who's been? I imagine it's quite the experience and you get to know those next to you quite well chatting to pass time.

    If anybody tried to explain it I think I would question their sanity as well.

    So, to settle an argument, is the official name for it "The Elizabeth Line" or the "QueueE2"? ;););)

    I don't think anyone has ever described queuing as "quite the experience" before.

    You'd have to ask those in the queue.

    They all want to be there for the moment the lights cut out, there's a bong and then her maj suddenly sits bolt upright

    I know one thing they didn’t ask Don Rowing for advice on queue Management. I once spent an hour at Sheffield Arena thinking I was queueing for Iron Maiden tickets and it turned out it was an X-Factor audition queue

    Read they get given coloured wristbands so they can go for toilets or refreshments and get back in the queue where they left, which you'll need when you queue for nearly 14 hours!

    Now closed for 6 hours due to Southwark Park being at capacity.

    I know it's a massive moment in our history and people want to pay their respects, but queuing all that time for a few seconds of bowing heads and moving on is crazy

    A colleagues auntie went yesterday from Doncaster and this is true. When you get to a certain point they give you the wristband.

    She got there mid morning, train back was at half 8 and she eventually got in just after half 7 and a mad dash back to King's Cross

    Queue is an amazing word.

    The word is actually the first letter, followed by four silent vowels, waiting in line.

    Ironic, considering that Londoners have no idea how to queue for a bus. They're not sophisticated like us Northern folk..:rolleyes:
