The eight grandchildren of Britain's Queen Elizabeth together staged a heart-rending evening vigil around their beloved granny’s coffin ahead of the final day of the lying in state.

Prince William, at the head of the coffin, with his brother Prince Harry at the foot, both in the Blues and Royals No 1 uniform, stood with their heads bowed in her honour in sombre silence in the vast Westminster Hall.
