As the nation is in mourning people around the country have been paying their respects to the Queen, and for those lining the streets in Scotland, they may have seen a unique military troop that has played a key role in the proceedings so far. During an emotional procession, the Queen's coffin was taken along Edinburgh's Royal Mile, and while it was transported it was guarded by the Royal Company of Archers - who were dressed in long-feathered hats and armed with arrows and quivers.
The Archers have been completing 20-minute periods of standing guard at the coffin while it remains in Scotland, before it is flown back to London - which is expected to happen later today. During the flight, only the Queen's daughter, Princess Anne, will be keeping watch over the longest-serving monarch.
