The line to see Queen Elizabeth II lying in state is at capacity and temporarily closed

The extremely long line to see Queen Elizabeth II lying in state is at capacity, the U.K government said Friday morning. Entry to the queue would be closed for at least six hours, the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport said at 9:50 a.m. GMT (10:50 a.m. in London; 5:50 a.m. EDT).

There is a live "queue tracker" streaming on YouTube that provides updates on the line, and it advised people to not attempt to join the line until it reopens.

The queen is lying in state at Palace of Westminster until her funeral on Monday. A large procession carried her coffin there from Buckingham Palace on Wednesday.
