The queue length varied throughout the period, and entry was closed when capacity was reached on several occasions, with peak waits widely reported in hours.[3][4][5]
- After the lying-in-state period ended, the state funeral proceeded on 19 September 2022 at Westminster Abbey and Windsor, with procession to St George’s Chapel at Windsor for the service.[5]
