The pallbearers who carried the Queen's coffin have won the hearts of the nation after their efforts during her state funeral.
The steady-shouldered troops from the Grenadier Guards raised Her Majesty's 35st lead-lined coffin no less than 10 times as she made her way from Westminster Hall to St George's Chapel in Windsor.
Five of the eight soldiers flew back to the UK from Iraq to carry out the honourable task just hours after her death was announced from Balmoral.
