The queue to see Queen Elizabeth II lying in state has been paused for at least six hours after reaching capacity.
Mourners have been told not to attempt to join the line until it reopens again later.
Waiting times are estimated to be at least 14 hours.
"Entry [to the queue] will be paused for at least 6 hours," Britain's culture department said on Twitter. "Please do not attempt to join the queue until it reopens."
The queue snakes its way from Southwark Park in central south-east London to Westminster Hall, where the monarch is lying in state.
"I've no sensation in my knees at all or my legs," Hyacinth Appah from London, who was in the queue, told Reuters.
"But it's been fine. Most of the people have been lovely and we've had quite a nice time."
The queue, which was paused at 9.50am, was about 8 kilometres (5 miles) long at the time, according to the culture department's live queue tracker.
Around 750,000 people are expected to file past the queen's coffin before the doors to Westminster Hall close to the public early on Monday, the day of the state funeral.
Country-size land deals
US interest in purchasing territory is not as outlandish as it sounds. Here's a look at some big land transactions between nations:
Louisiana Purchase
If Donald Trump is one who aims to broker "a deal of the century", then this was the "deal of the 19th Century". In 1803, the US nearly doubled in size when it bought 2,140,000 square kilometres from France for $15 million.
Florida Purchase Treaty
The US courted Spain for Florida for years. Spain eventually realised its burden in holding on to the territory and in 1819 effectively ceded it to America in a wider border treaty.
Alaska purchase
America's spending spree continued in 1867 when it acquired 1,518,800 km2 of Alaskan land from Russia for $7.2m. Critics panned the government for buying "useless land".
The Philippines
At the end of the Spanish-American War, a provision in the 1898 Treaty of Paris saw Spain surrender the Philippines for a payment of $20 million.
US Virgin Islands
It's not like a US president has never reached a deal with Denmark before. In 1917 the US purchased the Danish West Indies for $25m and renamed them the US Virgin Islands.
Gwadar
The most recent sovereign land purchase was in 1958 when Pakistan bought the southwestern port of Gwadar from Oman for 5.5bn Pakistan rupees.
