Princes William and Harry united to pay a final tribute to the Queen as all eight of her grandchildren staged a solemn vigil in her honour.
Inside the majestic Westminster Hall, where the late monarch will lie-in-state until Monday morning, mourners who had queued up for hours were left aghast as the Prince of Wales led his cousins into the grand arena.
King Charles had personally asked the cousins to come together and become the first grandchildren of a monarch to take part in such an occasion, before the nation says a final goodbye at the Queen’s state funeral.
