Starting on the Albert Embankment, the line will extend to Southwark Park.
Faith leaders and volunteers from organisations including the Scouts, Samaritans, British Red Cross, First Aid Nursing Yeomanry, and The Salvation Army will assist people waiting in line.
Those paying their respects are asked to prepare properly and plan ahead.
Thousands of people will line up to pay their respects to Her Majesty The Queen in Westminster Hall, and details of the path they will take have been made public.
The line, which will start on the Albert Embankment, move along Belvedere Road behind the London Eye, and then onto the South Bank where it will follow the River Thames past the National Theatre, Tate Modern, and HMS Belfast through to Southwark Park, is expected to draw mourners from all over the UK, Commonwealth, and the world.
The Queen will be lying in state in the Palace of Westminster, so after passing through Albert Embankment, visitors will be routed over Lambeth Bridge, through Victoria Tower Gardens, and through airport-style security. There are tight regulations about bags.
There is a separate accessible path and step-free access to the main line for people who need it.
The accessible path will start at Tate Britain, from where a line will form that will proceed along Millbank to the Palace of Westminster. Timed admission slots will be given to those in that line.
Westminster Hall will allow guide dogs, hearing dogs, and other certified service dogs. People who join the line will also have access to interpreters who speak British Sign Language.
To help the people who wish to pay their respects and keep them secure, more than 1,000 devoted volunteers, stewards, and Metropolitan Police officers will be there.
Toilets and drinking fountains will be available as additional welfare services throughout the route. In order to provide line-goers around-the-clock access to refreshments and comfort breaks, local organisations including the Southbank Centre, National Theatre, BFI Southbank, Tate Modern, and Shakespeare’s Globe will be opening their doors for longer hours.
On an outdoor screen provided by the BFI, historical recordings of The Queen and Her reign will be shown.
Alongside welfare centres, cafes and other neighbourhood businesses are anticipated to stay open later to provide refreshments to people waiting in line.
If necessary, St. John Ambulance will have a station along the route to provide first assistance.
In order to provide assistance where it is needed, more than 100 Scouts from all across the UK between the ages of 18 and 25 will team up with Samaritan volunteers.
People will be allowed to pass the Coffin, which will be hoisted on a catafalque, draped in the Royal Standard, and topped with the Orb and Sceptre, after they have entered the Palace of Westminster.
The Sovereign’s Bodyguard, the Household Division, or the Yeoman Warders of the Tower of London will maintain a 24-hour watch over it.
Westminster Hall will stream live on the BBC’s red button service, while ITV and Sky will offer in-depth coverage. People may contribute their own notes to an online book of condolences.
On Wednesday, September 14, the Lying-in-State opens to the public at 5:00 p.m. It will be open twenty-four hours a day till Monday, September 19 at six thirty in the morning.
To allow as many guests to access the Palace before the Lying-in-State period ends, the line will shut early. Any decision to do so will be extensively announced on official social media platforms.
People who want to attend the Lying-in-State are recommended to read the instructions, make appropriate plans, and be ready for lengthy wait periods, potentially even overnight.
This advice is particularly important for people with pre-existing medical issues.
Additionally, the general public is asked to organise their trip, look up travel information, and verify the schedules for last services.
Checking the list of forbidden things is also advised since there is a bag drop facility with a restricted number of spaces where certain items and big bags must be left.
The goal is to ensure that as many people as possible can pay their respects, and continuous updates on the length of the line and the anticipated wait time will be posted on official social media platforms.
