People at the back of the queue to pay their respects to Britain's Queen are now being told they have a wait of around five hours, down from about nine earlier.

Thousands are saying goodbye to Britain's longest serving monarch, who will remain lying-in-state at Westminster Hall until her funeral on Monday.

Former British Prime Minister, Theresa May, was seen filing past the coffin, along with her husband.

The government's tracker says the queue is just over three miles long, stretching past London Bridge to HMS Belfast.

Metropolitan Police officers and volunteers, including from St John Ambulance are managing the queue.

The Queen's coffin continues to be guarded round the clock, but earlier, one of those protecting it appeared to faint.

Officials nearby quickly rushed to help him.
