Moving moment as King Charles and Queen's children hold vigil over the late monarch's coffin
The newly-ascended monarch stood by with Princess Anne, Prince Andrew and Prince Edward - dressed in military uniforms - to symbolically watch over the Queen.
After they took their posts, the public continued to file past on either side of the coffin, looking on at both their former monarch and their new king.It would have been a sight that would stick with mourners for the rest of their lives – having queued for miles and hours as they waited to get to Parliament to pay their respects as the Queen lies in state.
Another 144 were treated on Thursday, with 25 taken to hospital. Most were people who fainted and collapsed, receiving head injuries.
