Those positions are probab!y filled by honored guest and senior officers, some of whom might be a little too old and unaccustomed to standing still for a long time.
I hope he is okay.

The queue tracker is now stating that the queue is "at capacity" = so a full five miles long, and people are being informed NOT to join it as they'll be refused a place
My guess is a queue will form of people waiting to queue in the main queue Her Majesty The Queen's Lying-in-State | Queue Tracker ....and the last time I looked, just after midnight, it was saying that the queue then was 4.9 miles with a MINIMUM time to reach Westminster of 14 hours! ETA: BREAKING NOW on GBTV News - there IS a queue for the queue, and it is now being allowed to join the actual queue - as they'd been waiting in an adjacent (locked) park! ETA 2: Website now stating that the expected queue time is now over 24 hours!! TV news was saying the queue for the queue may itself be around 4 miles long now.... The "issues" with the queue length are around the number of welfare points and the like that they can man/monitor - so the 5 mile length was one that was chosen for logistical reasons |

Man is arrested for GRABBING Queen's coffin: Black-clad mourner rushes from queue and lifts Royal Standard off late monarch's casket before being tackled to the ground - leaving girl, 7, injured and onlookers gasping in shock
 Police have arrested a man who attempted to grab at the Queen's coffin - in an incident which left mourners stunned. Officers tackled the man to the floor during the jaw-dropping incident, which took place around 10pm at Westminster Hall on Friday. It is believed the man pushed through a queue of mourners, among them a seven-year-old girl, rushed up to coffin and tried to lift the royal standard. He is then thought to have put his hands on the Queen's casket.   A spokesperson for the force said: 'At 10pm on Friday 16 September officers from the Met's Parliamentary and Diplomatic Protection Command detained a man in Westminster Hall following a disturbance. 'He was arrested for an offence under the Public Order Act and is currently in custody.' A spokesperson for the the UK Parliament, said last night: 'We’re aware of an incident in Westminster Hall, in which a member of the public moved out of the queue and towards the Catafalque. 'They have now been removed from the Hall and the queue restarted.' The Queen lying in state at Westminster Hall has been covered via live stream on the BBC 24-hours a day since the coffin arrived on Wednesday. But the cameras, which are delayed for around 30 seconds, quickly cut away from the coffin around 10pm on Friday. The cameras did not turn back to the casket for around 15 minutes. One mourner who witnessed the incident, last night told The Sun: 'It happened so fast.' The mourner, who did not wish to be named, described members of the public 'hysterically crying' and 'shaking' after the incident. It comes after King Charles and his siblings, Princess Anne and Princes Andrew and Edward, on Friday mounted their touching final vigil for the Queen before the late-monarch is laid to rest on Monday.

Ding dong the queen is dead... innit quite a cream crackered clanger?
Charles, being more than a bit skew-whiff "par", will make a pear-shaped dog's dinner of Great Britain. Peons, prepare to be gutted! I'll be miffed if Charles doesn't come down with the dreaded lurgy. |

Just heard that Prince Harry will NOT be allowed to wear E2R insignia on his uniform for the funeral.
He is said to be gutted. He turned his back on "The Firm" but then wants to wear its trappings when it suits him

He WAS given dispensation to wear it last night when the Queens grandchildren did the stint in Westminster: beforehand, he had the ER II insignia removed from his uniform. |

Couldn't wear military garb for official functions. |
