Westminster city council cleaners were greeted with appreciative applause after Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II's coffin was brought to Westminister Hall from Buckingham Palace. Cleaners marching through Whitehall were cheered by enormous crowds gathering to pay their respects to the late monarch, in recognition of their important work.
As reported by MyLondon, footage of the emotional scene was captured by parliamentary worker Sarah Jane-Sewell from the window of her Parliament Street office. Crowds of mourners could be seen clapping a group of 17 council cleaners, thanking them for all their hard work at this historic time.
A second video, also taken by Sarah, shows Westminster council workers preparing for the upcoming schedule of Royal events by covering Parliament Square with sand.
