MADRID, Sept. 14. (EUROPA PRESS) –

Britain’s Culture Minister, Michelle Donelan, has stated that queues “up to 30 hours” are expected to see the burning chapel of Elizabeth II, who died last week at the age of 96, to be installed at the Palace of Westminster.

As such, he stressed that the Government expected “very long queues, which could reach 30 hours”, before adding that “thousands” of people would come to the venue. “It’s not going to be 30 hours for everyone,” he explained, although he has asked those who come to be “fully prepared.”

Donelan has stressed that authorities are doing everything possible to make people “as comfortable as possible”, although he has defended the need to be “open” with residents so that they “make the right decisions”, according to British television network BBC.

In this regard, he has detailed that several institutions, including the Tate Modern and Shakespeare’s Globe, “will illuminate their buildings with images of the queen”, while cafes and bars will offer drinks and access to their facilities. In addition, 500 mobile toilets have been installed along the pathway.

Elizabeth II’s casket arrived at Buckingham Palace in London on Tuesday afternoon, where she was received by the king Charles III and his consort, Camila. The human remains originated in Scotland, where a series of official acts have been held today in memory of the king.

Hundreds of people gathered around Buckingham to receive the procession that accompanied the coffin. After Buckingham, the king’s coffin will be moved Wednesday to Westminster Palace, where the burning chapel will be installed.

On Monday, the state funeral for the queen will be held at Westminster Abbey, an event attended by prominent members of the royal house from around the world, including King Felipe and Queen Letizia, as well as presidents and heads of state such as America’s Joe Biden. , Emmanuel Macron of France or Recep Tayyip Erdogan of Turkey.
