Information reaching Kossyderrickent has it has it Outrage as UK MPs, Phillip Schofield and Holly Willoughby jump the queue during Lying-in-State of Queen Elizabeth II at Westminster. ((Read More Here).
Susanna Reid has revealed that she queued for more than seven hours to view the Queen’s coffin on its first day being on public view at Westminster Hall on Thursday.
She wrote: ‘Evening – along with my lovely mum and her very good friend, I have just experienced a moment in history – witnessing the Queen lying in state in Westminster Hall. At once majestic and peaceful.’
Susanna has spoken about her mother in the past and revealed she worked as a nurse and a health visitor for mums and their newborn babies for over five decades.
Sue, who has worked in healthcare for over 50 years, was nominated for a health star award by her daughter earlier this year.
Not only has she helped hundreds of young mums get to grips with a new baby at home, she also helped Susanna with her boys.
Susanna revealed they had waited for more than seven hours to see Her Majesty’s coffin as she offered advice to others wanting to pay their respects.
She continued: ‘If you are planning to queue here are our tips. We joined at 1.23pm near Butlers Wharf and entered Westminster Hall at 8.43pm – 7 hours 20 mins.
Reactions below:
Fred: Dreadful PR move by Holly and Phil to jump the queue to pay respects to HMQ by joining a VIP lane, as is being reported. David Beckham, Susanna Reid and other queuing for hours with everyone else have got it right.
Pastor: The queue jumping of the Elizabeth line by the elite is a disgrace.
Why does every MP (and their four mates), not to mention Holly and Phil, think they’re better than the rest of us?
Unlike Susanna Reid who lined up for seven hours with her mum.
I’d love to see one MP do the same.
Charlie: Charleston White is in stable condition after accidentally shooting himself in the leg last night in the strip club.
Margaret: Charleston White “accidentally” shot himself in the strip club last night. According to multiple witnesses.
