My name is Bob, I am lying in hospital bed with a brain tumour being cared for by wonderfully dedicated nurses that work 12 hour shifts. 

After they finish their 12 hour shift they're generally tired and hungry and if they have to travel to London to join a queue of 4 km to see the Queen lying in state, they would have to leave the queue before seeing Her Majesty to come and do their next shift. When they finish work they barely have enough time to get home rest, sleep and be with their family. 

As a country indebted to the service of the NHS staff, in moments of national mourning we need to prioritise those working on the front line to be able to visit Her Majesty as she lies in state. It would cost absolutely nothing to prioritise the dedicated NHS staff in visiting.

I ask you to sign this petition so that all NHS staff can go to the front of the queue to visit the Her Majesty the Queen lying in state and pay their respects.
