Two men have been arrested and charged in connection with an alleged assault on a man who “heckled” Prince Andrew during Queen Elizabeth's coffin procession in Edinburgh.

The incident happened at around 2.50pm on Monday September 12 when the late monarch’s four children followed the hearse from the Palace of Holyroodhouse to St Giles’ Cathedral in Edinburgh.
