I have often heard it said that the British like queueing so I expect they are enjoying it. I will not be in it.

'The Queue is your chance not to see the Queen because she's dead' - that phrasing did make me chuckle.
Oh dear though, I am contemplating joining The Queue.

There is a “Fastpass” option, but you need to be an MP, a member of the Lords, or a senior member of staff at the Houses of Parliament.

8+ hours in a queue 5 miles long to walk past a box for one minute! Is there a clearly defined point at which it stops being a Queue and becomes performance art?

The Queue is not the Elizabeth Line because it is a queue, and not a line.

I hope that The Queue will have an enduring legacy of getting Americans to stop calling them lines. It’s only fair after they stole ‘macaroni cheese’ from us

THis is worth publishing as a pamphlet. There must be a poetry or literary contest you can win with this. 'onest.

and of course the Q is a nonpareil opportunity for some retail businesses
It will be interesting to correlate the Q with the rainfall statistics

The Queue should be called the Elizabeth line.
Nice!!
The Queue is merely a distraction from the awful mess the country's in.
Yes.

Wow, it grows at roughly half a mile per hour.

Prefer Queue E2 to Elizabeth Line.

I was toying joining the queue, but I’ve been put off by stories on the news of people making friends with the neighbours in the queue. I’d rather not spend six hours stuck talking with strangers with no break.

I feel it would be more contemporary British with a £100 fast track option or a VIP waiting area sponsored by American Express

"The Queue is an act of faith, because there could be anything under that flag"
I voiced this thought last night while watching tv and my wife actually laughed out loud.

I was unlucky enough to be working in a room with a radio playing Jeremy Vine today. His usual 'hard hitting' topics are all off the menu in favour of...you guessed it - The Queue! We heard misty-eyed Jezza talk of how The Queue had become a great symbol of what being British is all about and then went across live on three separate occasions to talk to his correspondent on how much progress was being made and chatted to some of his fellow queuers. These hardy souls from around the globe told us their various reasons for making this pilgrimage and what Her Majesty meant to them. One person said that in The Queue they had made 'friends for life'. Eventually it was time to head over to Bobby for the latest traffic updates and she gave us all the news from in and around The Queue and the roads being affected by The Queue. There was also an international feature where we heard from various ex-pats who expressed their sorrow and regret at not being in London to join The Queue. Thank god Steve Wright came on and played the oldies, although even he mentioned The Queue a couple of times.

First thing this morning I thoguht the queue might be longer. If I didn’t have a job and lived in London I might have almost been tempted to join; a mere 4 hours. Now looking more like 9 hours. No thanks

Man upset by people droning on about The Queue writes lengthy comment droning on about The Queue.

I went to see a bit of The Queue yesterday. It was quite free-flowing around Hay's Galleria and the back of Southwark Cathedral - you'd be hard-pressed to distinguish it from the usual throngs of tourists walking that way. But it suddenly solidified just before Southwark Bridge, at which point I realised everyone was already wristbanded with LISQ-branded wristbands. At the time the tracker was reporting the end was near Bermondsey Beach (some 2 miles away), so the length of The Queue is either being overstated or there's an interesting philosophical argument to be had about what exactly constitutes a queue (or indeed The Queue). It's also an expensive Queue: there are security guards every 20 metres or so, and regular signage, which look like they're from the same place as bus diversion signs, but sturdier and monochrome.

Wednesday 10am: could’ve joined The Queue by the London Eye (seven hours before the doors opened)
Thursday 10am: could’ve joined The Queue by London Bridge (eight hour wait)
Friday 10am: The Queue is at full length and Southwark Park is full (come back in six hours)

The Queue has its own Wikipedia page.
