After one last night at Buckingham Palace, Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II's body has now been placed in Westminister Hall, where it will lie in state until her funeral on Monday, September 19th. During the procession to Westminister, thousands of mourners lined the streets of the Mall, keen to pay their final respects to the longstanding monarch as her coffin passed by.
Amid the outpouring of grief, there has also been some outrage directed towards those some believe were acting in a "disrespectful" manner during the sombre procession. A number of people in the crowd chose to record the historic moment on their phones, a gesture some have branded "disgusting".

One frustrated Royal fan vented their frustrations on Twitter, writing: "Currently watching the procession of Her Majesty the Queen as they move her to Westminster Hall, and am honestly disgusted by all the people with their phones and cameras pointed, not a single person watching or living it. Shame. My thoughts go out to the King, must be a hard day."
Another said: "I can’t be the only one who thinks that the all-pervasive camera phones along the procession route seems to lack the solemnity and respect that might be expected on such an occasion?"
A third agreed: "I find it so weird people are taking photos and video of the procession of the queen's coffin. you wouldn't whip your phone out at any other funeral would you? I just find it weird."
The doors of Westminster Hall will be opened at 5pm, after which point mourners will be permitted to view the Queen's coffin, which rests on a raised platform, known as a catafalque.
The coffin will be guarded 24 hours a day by a vigil of units from the Sovereign's Bodyguard, the Household Division, and Yeoman Warders of the Tower of London.
It's believed the queue of mourners lining up to view the coffin could stretch for as long as 10 miles, while queue infrastructure has been put in place alongside the Thames for almost seven miles from Lambeth Bridge to Southwark Park. It's estimated the peak waiting time will be approximately 30 hours.
