CBSN
London — Mourners were lined up Tuesday in Scotland's capital to try and pay their respects in person to Queen Elizabeth II, as the late monarch lied in state in Edinburgh's St. Giles' Cathedral. Later Tuesday, the queen's coffin was to be flown to London aboard a Royal Air Force C-17 Globemaster, accompanied by her sister Princess Anne, and then brought to Buckingham Palace.
Lines were already forming in central London, meanwhile, with hundreds of thousands expected to wait hours for an opportunity to see the queen's coffin later this week as it lies in state at Westminster Hall.
Two women, Grace and Vanessa, said they had already taken their place in the line, waiting overnight to pay their respects a full day before the queen's coffin was even due to arrive at Westminster.
On April 15, 1874 – 150 years ago – the first Impressionist exhibition opened on Rue du Capucines in Paris, featuring works by 30 artists, including Paul Cézanne, Edgar Degas, Claude Monet, Camille Pissarro, and Pierre-Auguste Renoir. Hosted by the "Anonymous Society of Painters, Sculptors, and Engravers, etc.," it was founded in response to the Paris Salon, the annual, government-sponsored exhibition that would frequently reject the works of the rising artists.
Alec Baldwin had "no control" over his emotions on the set of a film where the cinematographer was shot dead, according to the prosecutor who has charged him with manslaughter.
