One of the pipers who led the Queen's funeral procession and has a link to County Durham has reflected on being part of a huge historic event.
John Mitchell, 29, has been a member of the first battalion Scots Guards since the age of 16. Originally from Dundee, he now lives in Edinburgh but spent six years in the North East from 2014 - 2020 in Stanley.
He took up the pipes aged five and is following in the footsteps of his late uncle, who was in the same regiment decades ago. And he has described playing at the funeral as the greatest honour of his military career.
