Queen Elizabeth II, the longest reigning monarch on the British throne, died on Thursday last week. One of the biggest prison ceremonies in history will be held on Monday, September 19 for the Queen, who died at the age of 96 after her 70-year reign. While the preparations for the prison ceremony continued, the coffin containing the Queen’s body was opened to the public in Westminster Hall, wrapped in the royal flag and with a crown on it.
People from all over the world and country flock to London to enter Westminster Hall, which is open to visitors at all hours of the day until the morning of the Monday, when the funeral will take place, to see the Queen’s coffin.

The queue of people who wanted to show their respect to Queen Elizabeth for the last time reached 8 kilometers in 3 days. It was announced that the queue stretching from Westminster to Southwark Park in the south of London was stopped for 6 hours in order not to create a security weakness.
DAVID BECKHAM HE WAITED 13 HOURS IN THE QUEUE
Former football player David Beckham, who played for the England National Team and Manchester United for many years, was also one of the names in the queue to say goodbye to the Queen. It was seen that Beckham, who was in the queue early yesterday, was able to enter Westminster Hall towards the evening. The legendary football player waited in line for about 13 hours to pay his last respect to the Queen.
TOGETHER HE BOUGHT DONUTS TO THOSE WAITING IN LINE
According to the news in the British press and social media, David Beckham ordered donuts to people who waited in line for about 13 hours.
BRITISH IMPERIAL ORGANIZATION FROM THE QUEEN
David Beckham was awarded the Order of the British Empire from the Queen in 2003 for his achievements in football.
“A VERY HARD DAY”
Beckham, who was very interested in many journalists while waiting in line, used the following statements in his statement:

It is a difficult day for many in our country and around the world. I wanted to be here to say goodbye to the Queen for the last time. It’s very special to wait in line, to see people commemorate him in different ways, to hear different stories from people. When we were playing for England, we used to sing our national anthem, we would say ‘God save the Queen’. It means a lot to us. I thought it would make sense to queue earlier in the day, but I was wrong. It wasn’t even daylight when I got in line.
