One of the Queen's former private secretaries had caught the eye of many watching her funeral on Monday as he accompanied her to her final resting place.
Once an assistant private secretary to the late monarch, many had taken to social media to ask the identity of Matthew Magee as he walked in the procession.
Travelling alongside many others who walked the Queen to Windsor Castle, the 7ft2 former servant was noticed by viewers for his exceptional height.

Standing at a towering 7ft2, the royal staff member was described as an "insanely tall man" as viewers of the funeral tried to work out his identity, reports the Mirror.
One person wrote on Twitter: "Who is this insanely tall man? Is this the royal Slenderman?"
Another social media user echoed the question, saying: "Anyone know who the exceedingly tall man is?" while a third wrote "I don't know who he is, but he is a very tall man."

He was given to the role in 2018 and is often mistaken for the Queen's most dedicated member of staff, Paul Whybrew, charmingly nicknamed Tall Paul.
Mr Magee was also formerly the Duke of Kent Prince Edward's private secretary, but The Sun reports that he was chosen to work with the Queen because of his “brilliant brain”.
A royal insider told the publication: “He is a smashing guy with a great sense of humour and the Queen will love working with him on a daily basis.”
The Queen's coffin has now arrived at St George's Chapel in Windsor for a committal service where a smaller, more personal congregation will come together for a service conducted by Dean of Windsor David Conner, with a blessing from Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby.
