Good Morning Britain presenter Susanna Reid has looked back on the 'privilege' of queuing to see the queen lying in state, and describes the journey as a 'pilgrimage'.
Presenting on GMB today, Susanna recalled the moment, saying: ‘It is an enormous privilege to have been able to do that, to spend time paying our last respects, but also those hours in the queue as well, coming to an end now.’Susanna queued for more than seven hours
‘It’s huge commitment, when we were talking and you were in the queue for seven hours and 20minutes in total with your mum and a friend,’ co-host Ben Shephard replied, adding: ‘When you do anything like that, and endeavour, because it really is an endeavour to stay that long for this moment, you can understand why, for some, they are overwhelmed with emotion.’
‘Whether you are religious or not, a royalist or not, it feels like a sort of pilgrimage, and a historic moment, a historic opportunity,’ Susanna continued. She later praised young children who had been queuing around her, saying: ‘When I was in the queue, young children, patiently and uncomplainingly stood for hours,’ continuing: ‘I was so proud of my mum at 81 queuing with me.
