Strangers who met in queue to see Queen’s lying-in-state say they will watch funeral together

Two strangers who met in the queue to see Queen Elizabeth II’s lying-in-state say they will watch the funeral together.

“We met at 10:30 last night and we’ve been together through the whole thing, we’ve actually got loads of things in common,” Jack told Channel 4 news on Saturday.

“We’re going to the funeral on Monday together.”

Zoe added that the pair will “100 per cent” stay in touch after Monday’s service and that it was “a blessing in disguise” to meet people and “chat” while queuing in London.
