Senior royals are taking part in a march behind Queen Elizabeth II’s coffin as she is moved to Westminster Hall, where she will lie in state.
Some of them are world famous faces — the new King Charles III and his sons Prince William and Prince Harry, the Prince of Wales and Duke of Sussex, respectively. But some of the others even the most ardent royal fans would struggle to name.
This will be the last time the coffin is moved before the viewing is opened to the public.

David Albert Charles Armstrong-Jones is a furniture maker and a former chairman of the auction house Christie's UK, and with his sister, Lady Sarah Chatto, a cousin of King Charles III.

When he was born he was fifth in line to the throne but is now 24th. He is the first person in line who is not a descendant of Queen Elizabeth.
