The Queen would've appreciated this No-Nonsense, but highly respectful type of lady!

[justm]

Wow....bless all of the people who paid there respect in person.

[Greenwillow]

She was trying to win the Guinness world record for the most times around. She made it twice😉

[amandag]

She admitted in an interview that she had already been in the queue earlier and gone through the hall, but had come back round to go through again. There were others behind her in the queue who were then turned away, not having been through at all.

She did what millions of us would have liked to do… a last, final, silent, bow of respect -for whatever reason, whatever POV, whatever context, we deeply personally felt- to a defining figure of history (with ERII, the 20th century died, for better or worse)… thank you unnamed lady, for presenting the respects I wished I could have presented personally!

[LumberJacked]

Hard to believe she started queuing at 23.

[Randomgal]

She waited her whole life for this moment...to bow before Her Majesty', The Queen.

[Belectraaaa]

Pretty cool and historic moment for that lady to pay her respects to the queen. She's part of air force too, worked i guess that's what she said in the interview. Very cool😎

This occasion is so momentous and historical that any superlatives that exist (first, last, youngest, oldest, biggest, smallest, longest, shortest, etc) are bound to get in the news coverage.

[mortalclown]

Pretty cool moment for posterity...hers, ours and Her Majesty's.

[marufadnan]

[severnasvetla]

Open after 17:00 hrs. So much so in regards to respect.

[FoodiesBoss]

[NimSonam]

How long she might have waited with patients to greet Queen😢

[GeordiePat]

God bless this dear soul. I had seen on TV that she had served in armed forces??

[ianwattsOfficial]
