POV: Four years ago today you queued 14 HOURS to see the Queen lying in state And made national television next to the King We got the train to London Bridge at 6am... early bird catches the worm Slight problem... where is the start of the queue ????? We kept walking and walking but it was endless Finally found it all the way in BERMONDSEY What do you mean we are miles from Westminster Some helpful signage... Little did we know what we were in for... Made it to Shad Thames... 3 HOURS LATER Ok it's been SIX HOURS and we are only at Tower Bridge At Tower Bridge we were given wristbands so were able to go to Borough Market to get some food Everywhere you looked people were queuing Pose to pass the time We made friends in the queue EIGHT HOURS DOWN... it's starting to get to me now I was a uni student so clearly had nothing else to do This guy told us we might make it for the King's Vigil?? I didn't know what that was but turns out we could see the whole Royal Family? 12 HOURS DOWN sooooo close now They gave us goody bags with food and drink... we were well looked after We made it in and managed to spend 15 minutes inside Westminster Hall whilst the King's Vigil was broadcast to the nation Look it's me and my mum and grandma We came out and SO MANY PEOPLE we knew were sending us pictures of us on telly 14 hours queuing... Such an amazing experience
