Moving moment ray of light shines on Queen Elizabeth II's coffin on way to cathedral

The heart-warming moment that a ray of sunshine beamed down upon the Queen's coffin, as it was transported to St Giles' Cathedral for a service of Thanksgiving, was caught on camera. The poignant image, which has been taken as a sign by mourners, shows a ray of light shining upon the procession, led by her son, the King.

King Charles was joined by Anne, the Princess Royal, Prince Edward, and Prince Andrew, and other family members, as the Daily Express reports. Together, the siblings accompanied the coffin, draped with Royal Standard in Scotland and dressed with a wreath of flowers, as it was transported from the Palace of Holyroodhouse yesterday.
