“Since we are near the head of the line, Jamie, I am observing many people leaving in tears. Everyone seems to be in a really sombre mood, but the joyous part of it is that there were so many friendships in that line.”

One of the group’s men said to Amanda: “When you walk down the aisle in silence and saw the soldiers and the Queen’s coffin, you can’t help but feel sad. Even if you’re only there for two or three seconds, you feel so much.”

The group said that they had waited for the Queen’s coffin for 11 hours.

Amanda tweeted a lovely statement with a picture of the monarch after the Queen’s passing was announced.

“We probably all believed that our Queen would live forever. Everything that made Great Britain great was embodied by her grace, sense of humor, and indomitable spirit. I simply cannot picture our nation without her. My heart goes out to her family.”
