Bear Grylls has apologised to those who saw him attending the Queen's funeral as he chronicled the day as one “we will never forget”. The TV star and Chief Scout, shared a touching message having joined VIPs, dignitaries and members of the royal family as Queen Elizabeth II was laid to rest.
The royal family were among the 2,000 people in the Abbey who came together to remember their mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother as billions are predicted to have watched the televised service across the globe. The Queen died 'peacefully' at Balmoral on September 8 and was laid to rest at St George's Chapel in Windsor in a moving committal following a poignant service at Westminster Abbey on Monday, September 19.
Bear, who was made an OBE by the Queen in 2019, attended the ceremony as a representative of the Scouts for the service. Following the ceremony, alongside a series of pictures, he tweeted: “It’s a day we will never forget… a truly beautiful testament to our Nation’s Sovereign, Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth. Rest in Peace. Your duty done. Long Live King Charles…"
