Two men have been charged with assault on a heckler at the Queen's coffin procession in Edinburgh.
The heckler was allegedly thrown to the ground after 'verbally abusing' Prince Andrew as he walked alongside his mother's coffin on the Royal Mile September 12.
The protestor was removed from the scene and has been charged with breach-of-the-peace. He was released on an undertaking and expected in court at a later date, reports the Daily Record.
