Brits in hysterics as guest behind Prince Charles 'falls asleep' at Jubilee Pageant

The nation is tuned in to watch the Queen's Platinum Pageant on the final day of the Jubilee celebrations, with music, dancing and buses to honour the different decades of Her Majesty's reign.

As well as members of the public lining the street to get a glimpse of the extravaganza, the royal family are enjoying the festivities from the royal box near Buckingham Palace.

Prince Charles and Camilla are there, along with Prince William, Kate Middleton, Prince George, Princess Charlotte and the youngest Prince Louis is out for his second official appearance.

And while Louis' facial expressions are once again stealing the show, social media users have been rather distracted by another guest sat behind the royals.

Viewers have been left in hysterics after spotting a woman sat behind the Duke of Cornwall, who appears to keep falling asleep.

Screengrabs of the guest were shared on Twitter, where some branded her a "hero" but others thought it was a bit "disrespectful".

Many begged her fellow guest to give her a "nudge" and wake her up, while some joked she was representing everyone who had been on a "four-day bender" over the bank holiday.

And when she was finally shown wide awake, the internet rejoiced.

One person said: "This woman that was sat behind Prince Charles asleep. Proper head down, nodding off asleep. That's so embarrassing and you're sat in the royal box. Oh dear."

Another posted: "All the planning and effort that's gone into this and the hot topic of conversation is the sleeping lady, very British of us all."

A third wrote: "Wakey wakey! Omg imagine when she wakes up and looks at her Twitter feed!"

"Honest to go that poor woman sleeping is my hero, god bless you and sleep on the haters," tweeted someone else.

A different user added: "The woman deserves the utmost sympathy. I'd be in a coma by this point."
