BBC airs Queen Elizabeth II lying in state

The BBC has launched a stream dedicated to the Queen in state, for people who wish to pay their respects virtually.

The service is offered worldwide for those who want to pay their respects but cannot make it to London or are physically unable to queue.

It will be available on the BBC homepage, BBC News website and app, iPlayer, BBC Parliament and button red.

Watch the stream on this link until Monday, the morning of the funeral.

People will be able to walk past the coffin in Westminster Hall until 06:30 BST on Monday.

Hundreds of thousands of people are expected to make their way to Westminster Hall to pay their respects to the Britain's longest-reigning monarch.

Mourners began to gather as early as Monday, and by Wednesday morning many had joined the queue forming in nearby streets and along the banks of the River Thames.

The Queen's coffin was taken to Buckingham Palace after being flown from Edinburgh to London on Tuesday evening.

He has since been flown to Westminster Hall on an aff open cannon barrel of the King's Troop Royal Horse Artillery, pulled by a team of black horses.

King Charles III, his sons the Prince of Wales and the Duke of Sussex, and other members of the Royal Family followed on foot behind the coffin.
