Massive crowds build around Westminster Hall

The Queen's coffin will arrive at Westminster Hall later today, where it will lie in state for four-and-a-half days in the lead-up to her funeral.

But already massive crowds are building, with eager mourners desperate to take up the opportunity to pay respect to the monarch before she is finally laid to rest.

A Current Affair reporter Dan Nolan is on the ground in London, where he made his way through the crowds ahead of the sombre procession when Elizabeth II's coffin will be taken from Buckingham Palace to Westminster.
