Queen Elizabeth: Queue of mourners stretches three miles as it reaches Victoria Tower Gardens

Crowds of people filed into Victoria Tower Gardens as they reached the end of the queue to pay respects to Queen Elizabeth II during her lying-in-state in Westminster Hall.

Her late Majesty's coffin was ceremonially brought to parliament from Buckingham Palace in a procession through London on Wednesday.

Members of the public have lined the streets of central London in a queue that stretched almost three miles as of Thursday morning, 14 September.

The Queen will now lie in state for four days before her funeral on Monday, 19 September.
