The lead actor of a popular BBC drama series has come under fire after a tweet that implied the Queen's coffin was empty. Douglas Henshall, who stars in Shetland, has been accused of "spreading lies and conspiracy theories".
He suggested that not as many people would be queuing if they "knew that the Queen isn't in that coffin". The actor, 56, insisted it was a "genuine question" when challenged.
His tweet said: "Do you think the queue would be so long if people knew that the Queen isn’t in that coffin? Or do they know and it’s just symbolic?"
