A police horse had a worrying slip while carrying an officer down Canongate in Edinburgh on Monday evening, with a terrifying video capturing the moment it slipped on the pavement.
With security and police presence being at an all time high during the last four days in the capital due to the death of Queen Elizabeth II, police were seen using horses in front and behind the Queen's coffin procession travelling up the Royal Mile.
Similar specially trained horses are often seen a football games to control crowds. Fortunately, there was no need for the specialist officers to intervene during the procession, but one horse did take an unfortunate tumble.
