This includes 779 professional flight attendants for each 8.5-hour shift, as well as 100 volunteer civil servant marshals, 40 scouts and 30 first aid nurses. The welfare of those waiting in the queue will be looked after by 10 members of the Red Cross per shift, as well as 30 multi-faith pastors coordinated from Lambeth Palace. There will also be six Samaritans on hand and Salvation Army volunteers providing tea and biscuits in Waterloo as people walk the queue. A total of 1,500 military personnel will be stationed around London to boost crowd control efforts and 600 St Johns Ambulance volunteers in both the capital and Windsor. Mourners will have access to 500 portaloos along the queue route and eight St Johns Ambulance first aid stations. A DCMS spokesman said: “We want to help as many people as possible to pay their respects to Her Majesty The Queen and are informing thousands of mourners of the state queue location through innovative means, including a specially designed live online tracker. “There was a problem sharing locations using what3words due to a small bug. Within minutes of being notified, we fixed the bug and the system is now working properly.”
