I wouldn't do it, but fair play to those who want to.
I'm just waiting for Lenny Henry to complain that there are too many white faces in the queue...
Despite the mocking tone I actually do respect people’s right to honour the Queen however they want.
The queue stretches from Westminster Abbey to London fucking Bridge! To spend hours joylessly shuffling along the Thames path without resting, sleeping, stopping for food/drink seems utterly bizarre to me. It’s like some weird medieval torture.
As I said. It symbolises our weird relationship with the royals. Good luck to those doing it but I won’t pretend I don’t think it’s insane.

I queued overnight to get Utd away tickets for the opening day of the season after Megson took us up.

I'm a royalist and TBF it is a bit eccentric! They've allowed for a maximum TEN mile queue!!!

Before the pandemic when I worked regularly in central London I would often run from Westminster, along the South Bank and all the way along the Thames Path to Greenwich, it’s about ten miles.
Be interested to see what their plan for the queue is after London Bridge because if it carries on along the river then you end up in the estates at Bermondsey and then Deptford. Those are parts of the world that you do not want to be hanging around in late at night, or during the day for that matter.

TBF there'll be a big queue to help prevent badness i'd guess?

The queue is now 2.6 miles long. I’d imagine it would make a brilliant pub crawl.
