In a day full of pomp and ceremony, the focal point of Queen Elizabeth II’s funeral has been the procession of her coffin.
Travelling down the Long Walk in Windsor, the Queen’s hearse was at the centre of the scarcely-believable splendour. And that was all made possible by two men working in Wigan.
Sean Prescott and Martin Lowe worked together to develop the Queen’s hearse while working for coachbuilders Wilcox Limousines. Today, they have spoken of their pride in seeing their work front and centre for the entire world as they explained to the Manchester Evening News how they built it.
