A man collapsed in front of shocked onlookers while guarding the Queen's coffin inside the Palace of Westminster.
Thousands of people filed past Queen Elizabeth II's coffin overnight as the body of Britain's longest-reigning monarch lay on display in a public pilgrimage to Westminster.
The Queen's coffin, which will lie there until her funeral on Monday, is guarded around the clock.
But the vigil was briefly interrupted when a guard suddenly fell from the platform, leaving onlookers stunned.
The guard was seen rocking back and forth before completely losing his balance.
The live stream of the vigil was briefly interrupted while police rushed to help the guard.
