The BBC has announced it will stream the Queen as she lies in state, helping people who want to pay their respects to do so virtually.
The service will be available globally from 17:00 BST on Wednesday, in an effort to help people unable to make a journey to London or stand in the predicted 30-hour long queue to see her coffin at Westminster Hall.
People will be able to file past her coffin until Monday morning, the day of her state funeral, with hundreds of thousands expected to do so.
