BBC TO OFFER DEDICATED LIVE STREAM OF THE QUEEN'S LYING-IN-STATE

The BBC will be offering a dedicated live stream of Her Majesty The Queen’s lying-in-state for those who want to pay their respects, but who cannot come to London, or who are physically unable to queue.

The service will be available in the UK on the BBC home page, the BBC News website and app, BBC iPlayer, BBC Parliament and the red-button. It will also be available internationally via bbc.com/news.

For those who are unable to attend, the dedicated live stream will be an option to enable people to join the vigil virtually, and pay their respects from wherever they are.

The live stream will be available from 5pm today (Wednesday 14 September).
