Suzie is 69 and has been keeping a secret for most of her life Shed do anything to have her beloved Colin with her today of all days but shes hoping that the long walk ahead will be a first chapter in a new life without him

Tim is 42 and is joining the queue out of a sense of duty Its for his mum who adored the Queen but she cant be there Hes lived his whole life by the book putting facts before feelings trying to fit in but always sticking out Perhaps he can change that today by becoming part of history

Abbie is 19 desperately hungover and isnt sure how she ended up in the queue at all Her big move to London hasnt exactly gone to plan surrounded by millions of people shes never felt more lonely and her dreams feel further away than ever Yet today she feels closer to her queue family than she does her real one

As the unlikely trio wind along the Thames edging ever closer to Westminster and the Queen it becomes clear that when they finally leave the queue their worlds will never be the same again
