Paralympic hero Tanni Grey-Thompson left emotional as she pays respects to Queen

Paralympic hero Tanni Grey-Thompson was left visibly emotional as she paid her respects to The Queen.

Thousands of people have been paying tribute to Britain's longest serving monarch at her lying-in-state in London. And on Thursday morning, Baroness Grey-Thompson also went along. She was seen in tears after reaching the front of the queue where she could see the Queen’s closed coffin.
