BREAKING: Buckingham Palace releases details for Queen's funeral on Monday
Elizabeth's death at her beloved Balmoral Castle summer retreat on Sept. 8 ended the monarch's 70-year reign.The 900-year-old Westminster Hall is now the focus of events, as the Queen lies in state until Monday. Thousands have already paid their respects, filing past the casket draped with the royal standard and topped with a diamond-encrusted crown.
Keith Smart, an engineer and British Army veteran, wiped away tears as he left the hall. He had waited more than 10 hours for the chance to say his goodbye. "Everybody in the crowd was impeccably behaved. There was no malice, everybody was friends. It was fantastic," he said. "And then, to come into that room and see that, I just broke down inside. I didn't bow — I knelt to the floor, on my knees, bowed my head to the Queen."
"I'm glad there was a queue because that gave us time to see what was ahead of us, prepared us and absorbed the whole atmosphere," said health-care professional Nimisha Maroo. "I wouldn't have liked it if I'd had to just rush through."
