BBC to stream Queen Elizabeth II lying in state

The BBC is launching a dedicated live stream of the Queen lying in state, for people who want to pay their respects virtually.

The dedicated service will be offered for those who want to pay their respects but cannot travel to London or are physically unable to queue.

It will be available on the BBC home page, the BBC News website and app, the iPlayer, BBC Parliament and red button.

The live stream will be available from 17:00 BST on Wednesday.

People will be able to file past the coffin in Westminster Hall from Wednesday evening until the morning of the state funeral on Monday.
