Many waited in their cars outside City Hall from 6.30 a.m. until viewing began at 8 a.m. to ensure they did not miss a chance to say good-bye to Dame Lois Browne Evans.

At City Hall, yesterday from 8 a.m. until 11 a.m. the body of Dame Lois was "lying in repose" after a viewing the previous evening at Alaska Hall between 7 p.m. and 9 p.m.

Some who spoke with The Royal Gazette said they tried to get into the viewing in Alaska Hall, but the line was so long, they had to wait until yesterday.
