Guess I am too late but we queued straight down The Mall. I reckon it would have been quicker on the other side of St James Park which appeared to be a side queue but obviously can't be certain as we didn't queue for a second time!
If you are taking kids make sure they have some water with them and have been to the loo! My little girl was hopping by the end..1 -

Can't get the Paddington sketch out of my head, especially the teaspoons on the cups, nor that smile in those pictures on Tuesday. Never known any different, today was conducted so well, now I'm getting the period of mourning, no-one can think of anything else.1

Do find the way the rest of the world has reacted incredibly moving. Shows just how special The Queen was and admired the world over. Wife took my boys up to Buckingham Palace today to pay their respects.

Unfortunately I have seen people trying to suggest his sense of entitlement, when trying to get the objects moved out of the way. Sad to see people making political points out of it.
Can't understand the issue, such an important day, it's not an issue to me that he seemed to basically saying can these be moved somewhere please rather than searching around for a place he can move them to etc.
People determined to make something out of not much.5 -
It’s been quite striking watching the news over the weekend just how many millions have felt the desire to do something and go somewhere to show some respect. And the most encouraging thing for me is just how many children they’ve been. Just watching two young teens being interviewed on the news and speaking so articulately about about coming together, celebration of her life, respect etc…
Last couple of days have given me real hope for the future in terms of generally values and direction of the UK.13 -
Need to remember @North Lower Neil how social media has generated a legion of narcissists, they have to feed that from somewhere…
Did I hear correctly today, regarding the tour the King will embark on, the prime minister has to accompany him?0 -

Not only did Mrs AFKA and Jnr get to see The King drive past and wave their way, they also got to see this familiar character…Suppose it beats standing outside a closed chip shop!9

It's good to see he is human and takes umbrage at the sorts of things any of us would if we, like him, have had probably 2hours sleep in the last 24 hours. It's good to see a flash of the Prince Philip too! Hopefully Charles will have a few "Philipisms" up his sleeve in the years to come.

Having had a quick look outside Buckingham Palace on Friday afternoon when it was busy, but for example St James's Park was as per normal, I wandered over this evening after the cricket to get the atmosphere. Absolutely packed, with an hour long queue (this evening at 7:30pm) through the Park to reach the palace.2

We all went up today, kids picked some flowers from our garden and we jumped on a train to Victoria
so many people, we were told the Palace queue was at least 2 hours so made our way across the Mall and down towards green park, had an ice cream and just watched the crowds and horses etc and wandered around.
lay our flowers by the queen mums memorial as there was just no way we were getting any closer. The missus had been on a 12 hour night shift at the QE and hadn’t been to sleep and whilst the kids wanted to go they didn’t fancy the queue.
glad we did go though, the eyes of the world are on the UK and Buckingham Palace and genuinely - no one does things like this better. A little part of history and really glad we went up9 -

I believe the Matterhorn image is actually from April 2020, was originally done for the Covid outbreak. But has been reposted on Twitter and attributed to Her Majesty’s passing.1

North of Wellington there is a park where a “corgi day” was arranged and owners brought their pets - around 30 - to celebrate the Queen’s love of her dogs.1

Personally I don't see why people feel the need to state if they are, or are not a Royalist.The country and many parts of the world are in mourning.Enough said.3

You cannot use a fountain pen if you are left handed as you will smudge the ink.
William was handed normal pen to write with.0 -

I think they’ve been completely overwhelmed with how many travelled to London this weekend and are trying to deter some early from next weekend.0

There seems to be an effort being made to dissuade people from the lying in state and perhaps think about paying respects in another way. The length of queue that's being talked about is simply going to be impossible for a lot of people.
If anyone's looking at that government website and thinking maybe they'll sign the books of condolence instead, here's a handy list of locations:
