Millions across the world tuned in to watch Her Majesty's state funeral service this morning, with some 2,000 guests in attendance from those recognised in the Queen's Birthday Honours list to world leaders. King Charles III led the procession from Westminster Hall to the Abbey alongside the Queen Consort, with the Prince and Princess of Wales and their children following behind, among other senior royals.
But many viewers were distracted by a red-headed choirboy who gave the 'performance of his life'. The singer was praised by those on social media as he appeared to 'sing his heart out' to the hymns chosen by Her Majesty.
One of the hymns sung was the Lord's My Shepherd, which was sung by a choir at the late monarch's wedding to Prince Philip in the same abbey in 1947. Another sung by the choir was a specially-commissioned choral piece, composed by the Master of The King's Music, Judith Weir, Like as the Hart.
