A soldier has revealed how he was put on alert for Queen Elizabeth II’s funeral on the day she met the UK's former Prime Minister, Liz Truss.
On the 6 September Victoria Cross hero Johnson Beharry, 43, revealed that he received correspondence from royal officials asking about his availability in the event of the long-reigning monarch's death.
While he presumed this email was only a protocol, just a mere 24-hours later, he received a follow-up call.
