Around a million people will line the streets of London to witness scenes of breathtaking pomp and splendour as Britain pays tribute to Queen Elizabeth II, the countrys greatest monarch.

The Department for Culture, Media and Sport has said the historic occasion will be shown in various locations - from Londons Hyde Park to Coleraine Town Hall in Northern Ireland.

With the line at around 3.5 miles long, mourners who have made the last-minute scramble to see the Queens coffin this evening can expect to queue for around seven hours.

At 10.41pm tonight, the Government said it stopped mourners from joining the line to see the Monarch lying in state ahead of her funeral tomorrow.
