Dignitaries prepare for the arrival of the coffin of Queen Elizabeth at Edinburgh Airport (PA)

Tracking website Flightradar24 said “nearly six million people attempted to follow” the flight carrying Queen Elizabeth’s coffin from Edinburgh to RAF Northolt in London.

The number of people attempting to track the plane on Tuesday caused the website to run into problems, but not before more than half a million were able to briefly follow.
