The Queen's four children have united for a last vigil as the nation prepares to say a final goodbye to Elizabeth II.
King Charles III, the Princess Royal, Prince Andrew and Prince Edward, each stood on one of the four corners of Her Majesty’s coffin, inside the majestic Westminster Hall.
The steady procession of people filing past the coffin since last Wednesday when the late Queen’s lying-in-state began, last night resulting in 24 hours queues as hundreds of thousands more joined the line, suddenly halted while guards resplendent in red and gold uniforms slowly marched across the hall.
