Getting quite annoyed the queue won't quite tick over to 5 miles. Been stuck at 4.9 for ages. I wonder if they've started turn people away just short of the 5 miles?

Can't can it? They're already in Southwark Park which is where they start turning people away.

It’s possible, at that length it’s said to be taking 14 hours.

DCMS just tweeted about the length of the queue and said the park would close if it reaches capacity. They’re also asking people to consider joining at another time.

They just tweeted again. It's closed.

Which idiot decided to cap it at 4.9 miles instead of 5 for the nice round number?

I don’t think there is going to be a better time now, to rejoin it. It’s weekend time and it’s going to get even longer. It’s unfortunate, but I think they will start turning people away.

I watched some of the live stream and there are quite a number of older people queuing. What I have to ask is if they are queuing for hours on end how are they dealing with needing to pee? I know I could not queue without facilities for 5 or 6 hours without wetting myself. Do not mean to be disrespectful I just do not get how people can do it

There are stewards on hand to direct people to facilities. Their place in the queue will be held. The Brits are a polite group in those circumstances.

I didn’t know it was convention for the Vice President to attend the funerals of foreign Heads of State and that Biden coming wasn’t a forgone conclusion.
