Iran Press/ Europe: A Royal guard fainted and fell off the podium where he was protecting the Queen's coffin, with police rushing to help him after he crashed to the ground.
Massive queues of mourners have been winding through the streets of London to see the Queen lying in state at Westminster Hall ahead of the funeral following Monday.
Soldiers marched with the coffin from Buckingham Palace on Wednesday, but for one of the guards at Westminster Hall, the strain appeared to be too much as he suddenly fainted.

There were gasps from mourners as he fell to the ground, which was caught in a video.
It happened as a set of guards were beginning to swap duties, and one appeared to be trembling before seconds later falling. Two police officers could be seen racing over to pick him up before the video cut out and then went to images of the Houses of Parliament.
Shocked viewers also took to social media, with one tweeting: "He must've been so overwhelmed with what was happening."
Another said: "Bless him - just happened to tune in; saw he was a bit wobbly and feared he'd faint. Hope he's ok."
