queue and the queen arequintessentially English. There is a line over five miles long to view and pay respects to the coffin of Queen Elizabeth II, who passed away at the age of 96. It is becoming a logistical nightmare.
The queue was temporarily suspended for six hours when it reached 14 hours earlier this week. The poor suckers at the back of the line have been warned that it may take them a full 24 hours to get to the Queen's coffin.
There must be a way to get the process done quickly.
The Internet has once again delivered, this time with a video of an artist mounting the Queen's coffin on a robotic arm.
I’ve come up with an interim solution to the queuing issue to see the Queen’s coffin in Westminster, let me know what you think, it’s not perfect but I don’t see anyone else coming up with anything pic.twitter.com/RIstM7kIT8

In the video, Parry says that the Queen has more surface area than she's being credited for.
The Queen's coffin could be mounted on a robot arm. To take advantage of the extra surface area provided by the coffin's aerial position, Parry envisions an absurd system of a two level intersection.
While the hordes of people stream by at a predicted 80 per second, the robot arm revolves the Queen's coffin mid-air, gracefully parading her around for all to see. It's about as efficient as it can get.
It's the kind of innovative absurdity we love to see, but it might cause the Queen to die. Evenevolving.
There is more on the Queen.
