Head bowed William leads Queen's grandchildren in vigil at her coffin with Harry in uniform

William and Harry are standing by the Queen's coffin in Westminster Hall in a poignant vigil with the monarch's other grandchildren

The Prince of Wales and the Duke of Sussex joined Princess Beatrice, Princess Eugenie, Lady Louise, Viscount Severn, Zara Tindall and Peter Phillips in the moving tradition, known as the Vigil of the Princes.

Once the Queen's grandchildren took their positions by her coffin, members of the public continued to file past to pay their respects after queueing for hours outside. Last night King Charles and his siblings came together to stage a similar vigil, symbolically watching over the Queen as she lies in state in Westminster Hall.
