How Long Would You Wait in Line to See the Queen’s Casket?
16 Sep 2022
People in the U.K. are standing in line for 14-plus hours to pay their respects to Queen Elizabeth II’s casket at Westminster Abbey.
David Beckham OBE has joined the queue to see Queen Elizabeth II Lying-in-State.
Like everybody else, he will have to wait in line for at least 14 hours and will not enter Westminster Hall until tomorrow morning.
