@mhrluscombe @Emmalouisajones We joined the queue to pay respects to the Queen at 1:45am, it was much shorter than it is now and only 8 hour wait so worth early start, wrap up warm! If you have a light collapsible stool that you don’t mind parting with if storage at hall is full defs do it.

RT @StuartHumphryes: I have edited together for you some rare colour film footage of the queues and London crowds for the Lying In State and funeral procession of King George VI in February 1952. Events, just as today, separated by 70 years.

@CJordanjb Christina it was such a beautiful experience from start to finish, everyone so polite and respectful through the night. Change of the guard happened when we were with Her Majesty, it was all v emotional and overwhelming! xxx

@Emmalouisajones It was worth every minute of queuing. So many had come so far and so many of a grand age out at 2am waiting and walking for hours, but well prepared with seats and blankets. Lots of stewards along the way too felt v well organised! xx

We are nearly there..7 hours in. I’ve witnessed top queuing etiquette throughout, plenty of 60,70+ amazing stamina and devotion to the Queen.

@planetjedward Our great, ancient monarchy has survived regicide, plague and revolution, I think it can survive Jedward. Bless.

@PaulLawBlacks The selflessness and courage of these men moves me every time. I don’t know if I could do the same. Masculinity needs to be honoured much more than it is these days.

@DemsAbroad As long as I live they will be remembered and cherished in my thoughts. God bless America 🇺🇸❤️

@maragotaman 344 died - masculinity protects and serves, I’m in awe of this courage and selflessness

The men who raced up the stairs to help as the twin towers burned are always in my thoughts on 9/11. Bravest of the brave.

@MetroUK This is madness. Even as a staunch monarchist I totally defend her right to express opposite view without arrest. Free speech depends on it.

@tutt_brian @highqoo @dwnews Do you know how many millions come to the UK to witness royal celebrations?! It’s not just buildings. Nothing matches the pull of our monarchy the weddings, jubilees, traditions. Amazing for our economy.

@highqoo @dwnews They bring far more £££ to the British economy than the pittance from each of us in taxes. Millions fly from all over the world because of our Royal family, their palaces and traditions, many small businesses depend on them.

@dwnews WE ABOLISHED OUR MONARCHY in 1649 - and we hated it, begged for our Monarch to return. Thank God we don't have a grey suited President as head of state. Our Monarch brings our country together above politics, you don't have that I feel sorry for you.

Thank goodness for pubs and churches…the perfect combo that’s helped Brits get through tough times for over 1000 years.

RT @GBNEWS: ‘He does have something to bring to the table with showing a bit of love and emotion.’

Belinda de Lucy speaks about ‘subtle’ hints suggesting King Charles III will be a more ‘emotional’ leader.

@Emma_A_Webb @UK_EngWalScoNI @GBNEWS @AlStewartOBE @EstherMcVey1 Agreed, beautifully done.

RT @Emma_A_Webb: The commentary now on @GBNEWS on the Accession with David Starkey and @AlStewartOBE @EstherMcVey1 is unbeatable. Wholly captured the ancient enchantment of the occasion. Gentle-footed, and providing the most stirring historical context. Remarkable! Thank you! 🇬🇧
