Police officer stretchered away after collapsing outside Westminster Abbey

A police officer was stretchered away after fainting while on duty outside Westminster Abbey in London. The Metropolitan Police officer collapsed shortly before the Queen's funeral procession walked down the Mall.

He fell forward near Parliament square. Medics rushed him away on a stretcher just minutes before the Queen’s coffin came through.

His condition remains unconfirmed but is not thought to be serious, reports the Mirror. It comes after a Royal guard fainted and fell off the podium where he was protecting the Queen's coffin on Thursday.
