is currently around 11 hours, with long lines stretching five miles along the river thames to southwark parkis evening, in westminster hall, the queen's eight grandchildren, including princes william and harry, will hold a vigil by the coffin. with more on the day's events, here's our royal correspondent, nicholas witchell. cheering neither of them is a newcomer to this, yet for both of them, charles and william, there is a special intensity just at the moment. partly because of the emotions which are so in evidence. but also because of their new roles. here is the man who is now king. and the man who is now next in line to the throne. both charles and william have a natural warmth. appreciated today by people who had queued through a cold night to reach the lying in state. three cheers for no one needed to be won over, but watch thank you for the marmalade. both the king and his son wanted to know how people were coping with the long wait. clearly you've read the manual. i m _ just before the walkabout, the king had visited one of the main control rooms where the metropolitan police is coor

i think we can go to southwark park, the very end of the line where people are being told not tojoin i believe. what is the situation, how are people coping with the news that the queue will be closed for a significant amount of time, and what happens to them? i time, and what happens to them? i think you raise a very good point, what happens to people who will be very disappointed? i can't tell you from this exact spot because you can't see there are now thousands of people in southwark park, to get here takes quite a while. i guess these are the lucky ones, people who have been here quite a while. there was nothing like this first thing this morning but i think people saw images on twitter and elsewhere and they made the decision to come, if they made the decision to come, if they lived in london, and others from different parts of the world tour the uk will have planned this for a couple of days. let chat with some people in the queue, let's see who this maybe smiling and wanting to talk. madam, you have a second, why have you travelled from? hot why have you travelled from? not t

ye: people joining the queue in peoplejoining the queue in southwark park as night falls in london arerepared, wearing comfortable clothes with extra layers to put on with food, water, provisions to keep them going through the night and as you can probably see as well, they seem to be pretty good spirits. nevertheless facing a very cold and long night ahead. they decided, as so many have done over the last few days, that they want to pay their respects in person and that they are prepared to wait a very long time to do so. and it is such a diverse crowd, young, old, everything in between, people from so many walks of life. people coming from the us specificallyjust of life. people coming from the us specifically just to come of life. people coming from the us specificallyjust to come and file past the coffin, from canada, so many other countries as well, travelling from so many parts of the uk as well. at some point, the queue is going to close. they want to ensure that everyone who has joined the queue will have the chance to file past the coffin but there's no sign of that yet. the w

they are, here in southwark park - line? they are, here in southwark park a - line?at so the queue will be closed long before 630 tomorrow morning, uk time, by which time the lying in state officially ends. what happens is that people are being given wristbands and the crowd experts are monitoring the numbers. you can do the maths if you like at the moment. it is 12 hours at the moment, meaning people get there late afternoon. you can see that sometime today, the queue will be closed in an attempt to avoid a situation where people actuallyjoin a liner turn up at westminster and get turned away. the organisers are keen to avoid that situation.- to avoid that situation. yes, understandably _ to avoid that situation. yes, understandably so. - to avoid that situation. yes, understandably so. thank i to avoid that situation. yes, i understandably so. thank you very at the back of the queue there, in southwark park. now will go right by westminster hall, at the front, where the nature of this experience, mark lobel nature of this experience, mark lobel, changes, doesn't it

they are saying that the queue will hit southwark park by the morning, so 11—13 hours is the estimate lines, and they tend to be let through in batches, as i saw for myself when it all started yesterday, everyone in extremely good spirits. and we know that people have been queueing, with many currently lying that people have been queueing, with many currently tying up, and shaun ley spoke earlier to martin and emma lloyd who made the journey down from northampton. irlat lloyd who made the 'ourney down from northampton.— northampton. not too bad, better than i thought. _ northampton. not too bad, better than i thought. about _ northampton. not too bad, better than i thought. about six - northampton. not too bad, better than i thought. about six hours, i northampton. not too bad, better| than i thought. about six hours, so not too bad- _ than i thought. about six hours, so not too bad. we _ than i thought. about six hours, so not too bad. we have _ than i thought. about six hours, so not too bad. we have been - than i thought. about six hours, so not too bad. we have been moving| not to

and this is the route along which people will queue — from southwark park, along the thames, up the southge. we are expecting extremely large queues that could go up to 30 hours. and it won't be 30 hours for everybody, but i think it's important that, before people set off, that they knowjust how long it could take, potentially. so we are supporting people throughout the queue, working with a number of partners like the samaritans, like the red cross — also having stewards there, as well, and working with the metropolitan police. so there'll be over 1,000 people per day who will be on hand to support people, to offer them advice, guidance. and, despite the weather, some were prepared to stay out all night. it's sad. very sad. very, very sad, isn't it? really sad. but so pleased we came. so we're going to stay tonight and watch tomorrow. there's determination here to show gratitude, respect and support for the royal family, as their private grief gives way to the public demands of national mourning, and the rituals of the highest of state occasions conducted in the name of the people. danj
