Around a quarter of a million people paid their respects in person to Queen Elizabeth II by viewing her coffin as it lay in state in London, UK Culture Secretary Michelle Donelan has revealed.
During the late monarch’s four-day lying-in-state, which ended on Sunday, around 250,000 people went through Westminster Hall to pay their last respects, Donelan told Sky News on Tuesday, adding that her department was still “crunching the numbers.”
