Mourners are selling their Queen’s laying in state queue wristbands for more than £10k on eBay.

Royals-obsessed Brits have listed their second-hand wristbands – issued during visits to the late the Queen laying in state at Westminster Hall – on the online marketplace.

After paying their respects to Her Majesty, some have hastily posted their used wristbands on the site – with bids hitting five figures.

As new items are being listed every few minutes, bids are racking up – with some people bidding more than £10k for a single wristband.

Listings seem to vanish as soon as they appear – but more pop up again and again.

Some are even selling bundles of multiple tickets, leaflets and newspapers from the days surrounding the Queen’s death.
