King Charles was at the head of the coffin

The royals stood together in Westminster Hall for 10 minutes whilst members of the public continued to file in to pay their respects.

Charles stood at the head of the late Queen's coffin, Andrew at the foot, and Anne and Edward on either side. The royal men wore military uniform, while Anne performed the solemn moment in royals and blues.

Anne was accompanied by her husband Vice Admiral Sir Tim Laurence, while the Countess of Wessex was present to support her husband Prince Edward.
