People who wish to view Queen Elizabeth II's lying-in-state have been told it is too late to set off now to see it.
With the event being closed at 06:30 BST on Monday, ahead of the funeral, organisers say they will have to close the queue at some point, so do not want people to travel and be disappointed.
At 20:00 BST, a minute's silence will be observed across the UK to mourn the death of Her Majesty.
Before that, the BBC will air a tribute from Camilla, the Queen Consort.
And she will join King Charles this evening as he hosts several world leaders, as up to 500 foreign royals, political leaders and other dignitaries have already flown into the UK for Monday's funeral at 11:00 BST.
Many of those foreign guests will also take the opportunity of paying their respects to the Queen's coffin at Westminster Hall during the day.
On the final full day of the Queen's lying-in-state, the waiting time in the queue was estimated to be 13 hours, meaning that based on those times anyone joining now may be among the last to see the coffin overnight.
In a statement, the culture department said "a decision will be taken later on when entry to the queue will close as it reaches final capacity".
In her TV tribute, Camilla says the Queen "carved her own role" when she took on the role as a time when the world was dominated by men.
