The queue of people lining up to see the Queen lying in state is now more than four kilometres long.

Her Majesty's coffin has been transported from Buckingham Palace to Westminster Hall on a gun carriage, with the new King and other Royals following behind.

The procession itself was silent, except for the firing of guns at Hyde Park and the chiming of Big Ben.

But Newstalk ZB's Anna Burns Francis told Kate Hawkesby the queue of people lining to see the Queen is growing by the minute.
