Thousands of people spent London’s coldest night in months huddled in line to view the coffin of Queen Elizabeth II, with some waiting up to 16 hours.

“It was cold overnight, but we had wonderful companions, met new friends. The camaraderie was wonderful,’’ Chris Harman of London said. “It was worth it. I would do it again and again and again. I would walk to the end of the earth for my queen.” Charles has made several impromptu walkabouts since he became king on Sept. 8, in an attempt to meet as many of his subjects as possible.
Most senior royals hold honorary military roles and have worn uniforms to commemorate the queen. Harry, who served in Afghanistan as a British army officer, wore civilian clothes during the procession of the queen’s coffin from Buckingham Palace because he is no longer a working member of the royal family. He and his wife Meghan quit royal duties and moved to the United States in 2020.
