A small group of royal fans have been camping out near Buckingham Palace for eight days to catch the Queen's funeral procession. How more than 1,000 civil servants worked round-the-clock shifts to plan the Queen's funeralStaff who were working on Thursday last week did not leave until the following day as preparations began for the Queen's funeral, according to The Mirror.
