Its not like Mao where the queens body is visible and preserved. The Queen probably doesnt give a shit about any of them; why wait 24 hours to just stroll past the coffin?

Many humans are tricked into worshiping rich people and think they're overall better humans. Basically:

At least until they bury him on a golf course. It's only appropriate given what he did to one of his wives.

It's the way that big mass gatherings snowball: people want to go because they've seen a lot of other people going, and they don't want to "miss out". I reckon they want to feel part of some historic event, and to be able to say to their kids or grandkids, "We we there!"

Never mind the fact that we've all just lived through a global historic event already, which genuinely did touch the lives of hundreds of millions of people: the pandemic. By comparison, all this corpse-sniffing is just a fart in a teacup.

This is a perfectly valid reason to do something like this. What is life if not a collection of experiences? Might as well make some of them memorable.

Last chance to be near someone famous.

Once in a lifetime or longer event involving someone that has been an important figure in the world stage for most/all of many of their lives. Not many reign for 70 years or more.

Heck just the chance to say I was there is enough to make people do these things. Like standing in line for days for movie/event tickets or a new product.

I am sorry but if you tell your kids or grandkids to we we there on the dead queen you have problems. That is not proper potty training etiquette.

What baffles me is how people manage to leave the queue to go to the toilet, and then find their place again. Also, how they manage to eat and sleep, and what the hell they find to talk about to the people behind them. (I'll be honest with you: I've not been interested enough to try to find out.)
