King and siblings guard Queen's coffin for 15-minute vigil at Westminster Hall

The King and his siblings have stood in silent contemplation as they guarded their mother's coffin for a 15-minute vigil at Westminster Hall

The King and his siblings have stood in silent contemplation as they guarded their mother's coffin for a 15-minute vigil at Westminster Hall.

Other members of the royal family, including the Queen Consort, Vice Admiral Sir Tim Laurence and the Countess of Wessex, along with some of the Queen's grandchildren, looked on. All four were dressed in uniform on Friday, with an exception made for disgraced Andrew, who is no longer a working royal, to wear his military uniform as a "special mark of respect" for the Queen.

Royal sources said the decision to allow Harry to wear his uniform during the vigil was made by his father. Harry, who saw action on the front line during two tours of duty in Afghanistan, has been denied the chance to wear his military uniform as he publicly mourns, because he is no longer a working royal.
