People line up in London to see queen more than 24 hours before doors open

People have already started lining up in London to see Queen Elizabeth lying in state, even though the first mourners will not be let in until 5 p.m. local time Wednesday.

About one dozen people are in line so far, most with camping chairs.

They are ready to wait all night under the rain, worried that otherwise they risk missing their chance to pay their respects.

Glyn Norris, 63, who was setting up to wait, told ABC News it was a "no-brainer" to be there already.

"She’s reigned for 70 years -- 24 hours in the rain isn't going to hurt me," he said. "She’s been with me for 63 years. She’s like a grandmother that I’ve never met."

People in the line are not allowed to camp in tents, so he and others will just be in coats or sitting up in sleeping bags.

“I have pretty much everything I need for the next day and a half," Norris said. "I’ve got an umbrella, I’ve got chargers, I’ve got batteries, I’ve got food, I’ve got drink, I’ve got warm clothing for the evening, gloves, fleece, over jacket, hat."

He said of the queen, "I think she’s done a fantastic job. And I’m very proud to be British."
