This figure is not yet final. The government continues to count the number of the public.
More than 250,000 people attended the farewell ceremony for Queen Elizabeth II at Westminster Hall in London. Sky News writes about it.
The line, wishing to see the Queen’s coffin, formed along the River Thames and quickly reached its limit – past Tower Bridge to Southwark Park. People waited dozens of hours to see the monarch’s coffin for a few minutes.
According to Minister of Culture Michel Donelan, Parliament has already counted more than a quarter of a million mourners. But this is an approximate figure, the government is still calculating the final data.
People lined up around the clock from the end of last Wednesday until September 19 – the day of the Queen’s funeral.
