0:09.2 | measured in a line along the Thames. What driving people to queue? From France, I'm joined |
0:16.6 | by Owen Jones, queuing in spirit I am sure. Today was another big day in the marathon that |
0:24.9 | is the period of national mourning for the Queen. It got going when, at around half two, |
0:30.0 | the Queen's coffin was marched from Buckingham Palace to Westminster Hall. The casket being pulled |
0:35.5 | by horses flanked by royal guards behind the casket is King Charles, Princess Anne, Prince Andrew |
0:42.5 | and Prince Edward. Behind them are William and Harry. Once a procession got to Westminster Hall, |

1:56.8 | that kind of very, it was not that cold, but it was very, very, the rain makes everything |
2:01.3 | bad, you know. And we didn't sleep a wink and like we had help from people. But I don't regret |
2:10.0 | nothing because this lady over there was waiting for us to visit her. She's the greatest of the |
