Prince William says walk behind Queen Elizabeth II's coffin brought back memories of his mother's funeral
The Prince of Wales said walking behind the Queen's coffin "brought back a few memories" of his mother's funeral as he spoke to well-wishers in Norfolk.
Speaking to one woman, Prince William said: "I mean the walk yesterday was challenging, it brought back a few memories..." Caroline Barwick-Walters, of Neath in Wales, said she told Prince William "thank you for sharing your grief with the nation", and that he replied "she was everybody's grandmother".
The comments to well-wishers in Sandringham suggest it's something also felt by Prince William, now the Prince of Wales, as he said how hard it was for him when it "brought back a few memories". And Prince Harry has spoken of his mother's continuing influence. "I feel her presence in almost everything that I do now," he said earlier this year.
She gifted Anmer Hall, a Georgian country house which is part of the Sandringham estate, to Prince William and Catherine after their wedding.
