Overflow Crowds Directed to Hyde Park Amid Historic Event
London’s City Hall has announced that all viewing areas for the procession of Queen Elizabeth II’s coffin from Buckingham Palace to Westminster Hall are now closed to new arrivals. The public is being urged to head to Hyde Park, where large screens are set up to display the moving procession. The royal family will walk alongside the Queen’s coffin, as mourners prepare for a lengthy wait to pay their final respects at Westminster Hall, where the lying in state will take place.
