The line organized by British authorities for people to view Queen Elizabeth II’s coffin as she lies in state has reopened after being closed for more than seven hours due to a surge in numbers. But officials said Friday afternoon that people may have to stand in line for more than 24 hours before reaching Westminster Hall. And they say that it will be cold during the night. The line was about 5 miles (8 kilometers) long, snaking along the banks of the River Thames. Authorities laid on more than 500 portable toilets, while around 1,000 stewards and marshals were on duty at any given time. Hundreds of thousands of people are expected to pay their respects before Monday’s state funeral. (AP)
