The senior members of the royal family, meanwhile, stood in formation facing the coffin, which was placed on a purple-covered catafalque, which was flanked with a tall, yellow flickering candle at each corner.
The King and Queen Consort stood together a metre or so apart, with the Princess Royal and Vice Admiral Sir Tim Laurence behind them, then the Duke of York alone, and in the next row the Earl and Countess of Wessex.
