How to see the Queen lying in state at Westminster Hall, and the rules for visitors explained ❌ Flowers and other tribute items, including soft toys and photographs, are banned inside Westminster Hall
People with a disability or long-term condition which means they are unable to queue for an extended period of time will not be required to stand in the lengthy queue.
Security searches may also be carried out while people are in the queue – while stewards and police officers are expected to patrol, ejecting queue-jumpers and those deemed drunk. Flowers and other tribute items, including soft toys and photographs, are also banned inside Westminster Hall, as are flags, placards, and clothing bearing “political or offensive slogans” – while filming, taking photographs, or using mobile phones is strictly prohibited.
Food and liquid of any kind. Any food or liquids must be consumed in the queue or disposed of before you enter the security search point at the Palace of Westminster.
