Lady Sarra Hoy has revealed that she queued for 11 hours to see the Queen 's coffin in the church she wed her husband.
The lawyer, who is wed to cyclist Sir Chris Hoy, shared her "beautiful and touching" experience visiting St Giles' Cathedral in Edinburgh.
Appearing on Good Morning Britain today, she told hosts Susanna Reid and Ben Shephard that she had woken up at 6am to make the journey, arriving at the cathedral at 7.30am. However, it wasn't until 6.30pm that she would be able to go inside.
Explaining why she had wanted to visit the Queen, she said: "I grew up in a military family... I had met the Queen on a couple of occasions.
"The Queen was woven into every fabric of our lives... she has been that level, steadfast force in all of our lives [...] She has made a connection with people not just as a head of state... but also on a personal level."
On queueing up to go into St Giles, where she wed Sir Chris in 2010, she said that it was a "very bonding experience".
"It was really beautiful and really touching," she said. "Going into St Giles is one part of the experience but queueing and speaking to those in the line... it was a very bonding experience.
"The mood was very sombre but there was touches of humour."
It comes after the first woman in London to queue for the arrival of Queen's coffin said that lining the streets two days early had been an 'instant decision'.
Queues quickly began forming ahead of the late Queen's arrival to Westminster Hall in the Houses of Parliament, where she will be lying-in-state for four days.
It will begin at 5pm on Wednesday and will last until the morning of her funeral.
People already began waiting in line early in the morning of Tuesday, September 13.
The queue begins at Lambeth Bridge in London, where mourners are preparing for a long wait.
"I originally planned to come on Wednesday morning," Vanessa Nathakumaran, 56, said.
"I went for a walk as usual past the parliament so I enquired from a couple of policemen where the queue is going to be starting so they directed me to the stewards.
"I went around to Lambeth bridge and asked them as well, a couple of stewards, and they said it's going to be from here."
She was then asked whether she anticipated a long wait, to which she answered: " The original plan was Wednesday morning but I was carrying some snacks and a bottle of water... It was an instant decision."
