Bear Grylls has taken to Instagram to apologise for looking "cheery" as he attended the Queen's funeral. The television star was among the famous faces invited to the service which took place at Westminster Abbey on Monday, September 19.
Bear attended the state funeral as a representative for the Scouts, of which Her Majesty was Patron. Chief Scout Bear Grylls OBE was among the first arrivals at the service and waved and smiled as he was pictured outside Westminster Abbey.
Following the service, the 48-year-old explained he was waving at a cameraman from the show Running Wild, who had been specially selected to film the service. After sharing a moving tribute to the Queen on social media, Bear wrote: "Lovely to be with my sister Lara before the service... and special to see our cameraman on Running Wild @Mungothecameraman selected to film the entrance to the service.
