Liz Truss' 'icy' signal to Nicola Sturgeon during service for Queen in Edinburgh

Liz Truss's visit to Scotland to accompany King Charles around the UK following the death of the Queen went by without incident, however there was one slip. The Prime Minister was spotted giving First Minister Nicola Sturgeon a 'cold' stare during a service of prayer and reflection at St Giles' Cathedral in Edinburgh.

King Charles III led a procession behind his mum's coffin as it was taken from the Palace of Holyroodhouse to the cathedral on Monday afternoon. The monarch was joined by his siblings Princess Anne, Prince Andrew and Prince Edward at the service, while Scottish political leaders Scottish Labour's Anas Sarwar, Tory leader Douglas Ross, Greens' Lorna Slater and Alex Cole-Hamilton from the Lib Dems were also in attendance.

During the service Sturgeon, dressed in an all black outfit and black hat, read the first lesson Ecclesiastes 3: 1–15. When the SNP leader stood up to give a reading in the Cathedral, Truss was spotted by many eagle-eyed viewers giving her a 'cold' look.
