Queen Elizabeth lies in state at Westminster Hall, thousands mourn
Thousands of mourners have lined the streets from Buckingham Palace to Westminster Hall to catch a glimpse of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth’s coffin
Her Majesty was brought in a procession with Princes William and Harry, and their father King Charles the third walking behind.
The Queen will lie in state until 6:30 am BST on Monday morning, the day of her funeral.
Members of the public now have the opportunity to line up and pay their respects to the late monarch, filing through the grand old building that is Westminster Hall.
Constructed in 1097, the building is a cornerstone of British history.
It has played host to the trials of Charles the first, Henry the eight’s coronation banquet, and speeches by Nelson Mandela, French President Charles de Gaulle, Pope Benedict, and Barack Obama.
During this lying-in-state period, Westminster Hall will be open for 24 hours a day, with the Queen’s coffin left closed and resting on a raised platform.
It is draped with the Royal Standard flag, and topped with the Imperial State Crown, orb and sceptre.
Hundreds of thousands are expected to file past.
There are currently queues of more than three kilometres along the South Bank of the river Thames.
As Her Majesty was brought through the city, guns could be heard from Hyde Park, while Big Ben was rung every minute.
Mourners reflect on their beloved Queen.
The Queen’s funeral will be held on Monday September 19, which will be a bank holiday for the United Kingdom.
Australia’s multimillion-dollar campaign to attract Hollywood productions to its shores appears to be paying off.
The allure of Australia lies not only in its picturesque locations but also in its competitive financial incentives.
The government offers generous rebates and tax breaks to international productions, making it an attractive proposition for filmmakers looking to maximise their budgets.
Despite the recent intake of Hollywood productions down under such as ‘The Fall Guy’ and ‘Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga’, Aussie independents are still finding the space to carve their own creative path.
Rob Fantozzi joined the program to discuss the latest in Hollywood, and showcased his own upcoming project – ‘Omerta‘. #featured
