Queen's funeral procession policed by Rod Stewart's wife Penny Lancaster as special constable

Penny Lancaster has said that working as a special constable during the Queen's funeral is "the biggest honour". Last year, Sir Rod Stewart 's wife completed her training to become a special police constable for City of London Police.

And today, she was pictured making her way through busy crowds in the area surrounding Westminster and Buckingham Palace while wearing the red and white chequered sleeve and cap bands of the force. Footage showed her alongside another member of the City of London Police, moving between members of the public waiting to see the procession pass by, writes The Mirror.

Penny manned the barriers near Queen Victoria's Memorial, where she made sure the public remained safe during the procession and offered advice about exiting the Mall. The 51-year-old began volunteering with the force after appearing in the Channel 4 show Famous And Fighting Crime, in which celebrities swapped their day jobs with those of emergency service professionals.
