Sophie Wessex supports Prince George at Queen's funeral in touching moment picked up on camera

Sophie, Countess of Wessex was seen supporting Prince George at the Queen's funeral on Monday, in a touching moment picked up on camera.

Emotions ran high for the nation and of course the Royal Family as they said goodbye to not only the country's monarch, but a mother, grandmother and great grandmother. Late on Sunday evening, the full order of service for the state funeral at Westminster Abbey was published online, revealing that Prince George, 9, and younger sister Princess Charlotte would be in attendance.

The two siblings, children of Prince William and Kate, were seen making their way into the Abbey shortly before 11am on Monday, as an estimated 2,000 strong congregation gathered to honour Queen Elizabeth II's remarkable reign and pay their respects to a much loved head of state. George and Charlotte walked beside their parents, the new Prince and Princess of Wales, as the Royal party followed the Queen's coffin into the historic building, as the sight of their young faces pulled on the heartstrings of many people watching at home.
