Mourners describe ‘extremely moving’ moment Queen’s coffin passed by en-route to Westminster Hall

Mourners outside the Palace of Westminster have reacted to the “completely overwhelming” moment the Queen’s coffin passed by.

The late monarch was moved from Buckingham Palace to Westminster Hall on Wednesday, where she will lie in state until Monday’s funeral.

Lisa Satchell, who was also mourning in Westminster, described the moment as “extremely moving”.
