So too did celebrities like Killing Eve actress Sandra Oh. English footballer David Beckham waited in a queue for hours at a time to file past the late Queen's coffin.
Among the less famous people there were twins Lisa and Louise Burns.

The Burns sisters joined the queue to pay their respects to the late Queen, documenting their progress all the while.

The moment the Grady sisters show up in The Shining remains one of the more subtle and creepy moments in the film, coming just as Danny Torrance (played by child actor Danny Lloyd) begins to become more aware of the Overlook Hotel's sinister power and influence.

The Burns sisters have since left Hollywood though they have embraced the notoriety of The Shining and attended numerous horror conventions. Lisa Burns is a lawyer and Louise Burns is a published scientist and researcher.
Several years ago, they told Cosmopolitan that they recited their lines for the film until they could speak them in unison and in an "otherworldly voice." They recalled loving the experience of working on the film and said their parents and the cast and crew took care of them, making sure they weren't traumatized by the film's horrific subject matter.
