A farmer has been praised after coming up with a unique way to view the Queen 's coffin as it passed by his field. The quick-thinking agricultural worker knew that at some point the funeral procession would drive along the A30 to get to Windsor, and luckily enough the dual carriageway runs straight past one of his fields.
Instead of driving into town and queueing with the masses, he decided to place his tractor by the hedge at the edge of the road and raise the forks on the front - creating a stable platform for him to stand on. Then, as the Daily Star reports, he climbed to the top and paid his respects as Her Majesty was driven past.
