WATCH: King and siblings hold vigil by Queen’s coffin

The Queen’s children carried out the traditional Vigil of the Princes around the coffin of their late mother in St Giles’ Cathedral, Edinburgh, earlier this evening.

The symbolic move sees four people position themselves at each side of the coffin to stand guard for a short time – today’s event lasted 10 minutes.

King Charles III took up the role alongside his three siblings, the Princess Royal, the Duke of York and the Earl of Wessex.
