The public will be able to file past the coffin and pay their respects until 6.30am on the day of the state funeral. Royals fans are being warned that the large crowds mean queues can last for hours, possibly overnight, so it may not be suitable for younger children.

Security measures are in place so only one small bag per person is permitted, and no flowers or other tribute items such as soft toys and photographs can be taken through the security search point. Those wishing to leave flowers are encouraged to go to the dedicated area in Green Park.
