People who had only met hours before huddled up together.
Their umbrellas offered little respite from the rain.

Vanessa Nathakumaran proudly took her spot at the head of the queue.
She only carried a bag with her – and she had more than 48 hours left to wait before she could get inside Westminster Hall.
Meanwhile, King Charles is spending the day at his country home, Highgrove
The Prince and Princess of Wales will be in Sandringham later to look at floral tributes.
