Queue-pid: Two strangers hit it off after queueing to see the Queen together
Two strangers who hit it off after meeting in the queue to pay respects to the Queen have been compared to characters in a romcom.
Jack Cuiro and Zoe hit it off after learning they have ‘loads of things in common’ after spending hours in the queue together.
Zoe met Jack, saying the encounter was a ‘blessing in disguise’ and they kept each other entertained for many hours with ‘crisps and chat’.
Some suggested their meeting was like a scene from romcom Love Actually.
The reporter who interviewed them from Channel 4 tweeted: “Call me queue-pid.”

Jack said: “We met at 10:30pm last night and we've been throughout the whole thing 'till now.
“We've actually got loads of things in common,'
Zoe looked at Jack with a smile and agreed: “Yeah.”
The paid said they planned to stay in touch and would go to the funeral together on Monday.
Twitter users were thrilled at the interview. One wrote: “Hope they make a new Love Actually and it’s all set in the queue.”
Another said: “Richard Curtis romcom called The Queue, back end of 2023, cameo by David Beckham. Just warning you.”
Earlier today, Simon Crook tweeted: “Hope everybody realises Richard Curtis & Working Title are probably brainstorming a Love, Actually-style ensemble comedy drama called The Queue.”
