Typical, only had one job and it was only for 20 minutes at that. more than likely pissed up
They had six hour stints guarding the coffin.
It's fairly common when standing at attention for long periods. Happens in military formations and weddings all of the time. Having a billion eyes on you doesn't help people prone to these spells.
But one would also think they would have weeded out the fainters by this point. First time for everything though..🤷♂️

Coldstream and Grenadier guards sometimes faint after standing in line for long periods, those bearskins look very hot and uncomfortable, apparently, nowadays, they are light and comfortable to wear, but they dont look it.....my dad was a coldstream guard, I have a pic somewhere of him in full uniform.,

People have been told off for putting marmalade sandwiches down with the floral tributes. I guess they don't think about the vermin, flies etc that rotting food attracts, and some poor sap has to clean all that up

There's hundreds of terrible memes that I won't post for a few months, if ever. But this one made me laugh.

He is a beauty....and very big.
Queues are now said to be 19 hours, and it's going to be a cold night in London. It was very touching to see her 4 children stand vigil at her coffin tonight.
A truly historic sight that no one alive has ever seen before.
David Beckham queued for 12 hours earlier today to show his respects.

Wasn't it nice to see Charles and William shaking hands with people in the queue. What a brilliant king and one-day a future king in the making. Also Edward and Sophie walking up n down too. I like Sophie and these two will be a great boost to Charles as they were to the queen.
Glad to see Hairy and Megaliar not showing up, kept in the background where they belong. 😡

Harry has just kept vigil with the other seven grandchildren of the Queen. Ages varied from 44 to 14.
He was in his full uniform. He has a right to be there, and I am glad he was given permission to wear his uniform.

He shouldn't of worn uniform. He left the country, the forces and royalty! 😠
It's amazing, but expected, how many people want to pay their respects.
How beautiful is this song? Psalm 139.
A guard fainted as he was standing guard, onto that hard stone floor as well.

The TIFO display at Ibrox last night.
That's when everyone holds up a card at the same time to make a visual display.
