After the death of Queen Elizabeth II of Britain on 8 September at Balmoral Castle in the Scottish Highlands, her coffin was moved to Edinburgh on Sunday, Thousands of British

authorities have had the opportunity to say goodbye to the Queen around the clock. Mourners will be able to look goodbye at the casket when it takes place from Wednesday evening to early on funeral day, as the authorities prepare for a high turnout.

Hundreds of thousands are expected to bid farewell to Britain's longest-serving throne ahead of her official funeral scheduled for September 19, which will be attended by world leaders.

Railway operators said they expected an "unprecedented demand for travel" within London and advised passengers to prepare to complete the road to their final destinations on foot.

The people will be able to look at the casket at Westminster Hall in Parliament 24 hours a day from 5 p.m. (1600 GMT) on Wednesday, 14 September until 06:30 a.m. on September 19.

"It will require those wishing to attend to wait in lines for many hours, possibly overnight. Large numbers are expected to flock, it is advisable to check in advance and plan accordingly, and prepare for long waiting periods."

It is worth mentioning that the corpse is a rare tribute in Britain, and was previously awarded on nine other occasions mostly to members of the Royal Family, including Queen Elizabeth's mother in 2002, when an estimated 200,000 people flocked to see goodbye.

Queen Elizabeth's closed coffin will settle inside Westminster Hall, while she stands guard at each corner of the podium around the clock.

Security checks similar to airport procedures will be imposed at Westminster Hall, Britain's oldest parliament building, as well as tight restrictions allowing only small bags to be carried.

The casket is preceded by a festive procession through central London to take it from Buckingham Palace to Westminster Hall on Wednesday.
