ITV Good Morning Britain shows moment Susanna Reid accompanies mum to see Queen lie in state

Good Morning Britain shared the moving moment Susanna Reid accompanied her mum to see the Queen lie in state. As of Friday morning (September 16), it was reported that the queues to Westminster Hall reached 14 hours overnight. Today also marks the second full day of Queen Elizabeth lying in state before her funeral on Monday (September 19).

As the clock struck midnight, well-wishers continued to pace slowly past the Queen’s coffin, their footsteps muffled by a carpet laid throughout the ancient hall. Some bowed as they approached the late Queen, others made the sign of the cross, others still simply paused.

Sky News has since reported that at 8.15am today the queue had reached 4.9 miles (7.9km) long, with Southwark Park listed as the nearest landmark.

On Friday's Good Morning Britain, Ben Shephard and Kate Garraway returned to host and as they joined reporters out on location at Westminster Hall and throughout the lengthening queue, they spoke about their co-star's own visit to share a final moment with the Queen.

They told how Susanna and her mother Sue had joined fellow mourners yesterday evening as the late monarch's first full day lying in state came to an end. Queen Elizabeth II died last Thursday, September 8, 'peacefully' at Balmoral, aged 96.

The news was announced at around 6.30pm with a brief statement from Buckingham Palace. The country has since seen King Charles III ascend to the throne as well as shared the royal family's very public grief as they all greeted well-wishers and viewed tributes in various locations - including Balmoral, Windsor, and here in Manchester.
