Penny Lancaster tells ITV's GMB she will be on duty with police at Queen's funeral

Penny Lancaster has revealed to ITV's Good Morning Britain that she will be working as a Special Constable at the Queen's state funeral next week. The TV presenter, who is married to Sir Rod Stewart, recalled fond memories of dancing with the new King on his 60th birthday as she appeared on the show this morning.

Last year, Penny signed the oath to the Queen after training to be a special police constable. She worked during the Queen’s memorial service at St Paul’s Cathedral on Friday and will also be on duty at her funeral at Westminster Abbey on Monday, she said.

Penny said it will be a “historic moment” and she will be “very proud to be able to serve” during the event. She told the show: "It was a great privilege to work at the Queen's memorial service at St. Paul's Cathedral on Friday. I signed the oath of Office of Constable to Her Majesty the Queen just over a year ago, April last year, and just as the seamless tie between Her Majesty and King Charles III, my oath will now be with the King."
