Hundreds of mourners flocked in to Windsor to pay tribute to the Queen at her funeral at St George’s Chapel.
But while the chapel was packed to the rafters with royals, loyal staff and other important figures, the King left a seat in the front row empty. King Charles was seen following behind the coffin, accompanied by the Queen Consort, with the Princess Royal and Vice Admiral Sir Tim Laurence behind, then the Duke of York and the Earl and Countess of Wessex, before the service began.
The seat in front of him was kept empty due to a tradition started by his mother, in order to ensure she wasn't obstructed. Protocol dictated that no one can sit in front of the Queen and obstruct her view - and this is expected to continue.
