“We’re at the end of the queue Jamie, so I’m getting to see quite a lot of emotional people coming out. Everybody’s quite sombre but the celebratory aspect of it is there’s been so many friendships in that queue.”

“It’s silent, you just walk down, you see the guards, you see the coffin of the Queen and it’s just emotional. You’re only there for two or three seconds but it just brings so much emotion into you,” one of the group’s men said to Amanda.

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

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

“I think we all thought our Queen would live forever… Her grace ,good humor and indomitable spirit.. embodied everything that made Great Britain , Great . I just can’t imagine our country without her .. My thoughts are with her family.”
