Sophie Wessex made a heartwarming gesture towards a young well-wisher who was paying his respects to the Queen. Prince Edward and his wife, who is regarded as Her Majesty's closest daugher-in-law, were in Manchester today to light a cande in memory of the late monarch at the city's cathedral.
The Earl and Countess of Wessex also viewed the floral tributes in St Ann's Square and the book of condolence at Manchester's Central Library before going out to greet floods of people who had gathered outside. During one particularly emotional moment, Sophie shared a hug with a young royal fan named Josh.
