Britain’s Queen Elizabeth the Second has visited the scene of the fatal train collision that happened in the U-K’s capital, London, last week.
London’s police have lowered their estimate of the number of people killed in the crash.
They had said as many as 70 people may died in the crash just outside Paddington station but now believe 30 people were killed.
Queen Elizabeth II on Monday visited the scene of the fatal train collision that happened outside London’s Paddington station last Tuesday.
She was accompanied by London’s Metropolitan police commissioner Sir Paul Condon and spent time talking to investigators.
The Queen spent several minutes looking at the growing collection of flowers left by people in memory of the victims.
Forensic experts are continuing to sift through the wreckage of the fatal collision between two passenger trains.
Police have announced that the death toll is likely to be closer to 30.
The government is expected to announce new safety regulations across Britain’s rail network – a move applauded by rail workers.
Dozens of people were injured when a Great Western express train collided with a Thames train about two miles (3 kms) west of London’s Paddington Station.
A preliminary report released on Friday indicated the Thames train passed through a red signal light shortly before the accident took place.
