A man was arrested on Friday night after he approached Queen Elizabeth II’s Coffin in Westminster Hall and caused a disturbance among the mourners.
According to eyewitnesses and video footage, the unidentified man, who was in the queue of people filing past the coffin, rushed to the catafalque, pushing aside a seven-year-old girl on the way. He seemed to have touched the coffin and lifted the Royal Standard before being tackled to the ground by police officers.
