Lone Edinburgh heckler shouts 'sick old man' at Prince Andrew at Queen's procession

A man was dragged away by police after appearing to shout in the direction of Prince Andrew as the Queen's procession made its way up the Royal Mile in Edinburgh.

During the coverage on TV, several people were quick to notice the man, who waited for the procession to get close before shouting in the direction of the Duke of York, calling him a "sick old man," as he was hauled away by police and members of the public.

Members of the crowd on the historic Edinburgh stretch of road looked bemused as the police run over to the barriers and he is dragged from behind. A video from closer to the scene shows two men in the crowd helping police capture the individual.
