The BBC on Thursday suspended its live stream of the Queen's lying in state in Westminster Hall after a guard appeared to faint and fall as he watched over her coffin.

The footage, shared on social media, shows the uniformed guard stumble to his right twice, before regaining his balance.

Moments later, the guard falls forward from the red podium onto the floor, after which a number of officials and police officers rush to his aid.

Whether the guard suffered any injuries is unknown at this stage.

The guard keeping vigil over Queen Elizabeth III's coffin fainted, falling face-forward onto the stone floor.

Two police officers rushed to help the guard and an aide standing beside the crowd also attended. A change of guard occurred minutes later.

Royal bodyguards and other royal military units, including the Household Cavalry, the Grenadier Guards and the Coldstream Guards, are taking turns guarding the coffin.

The King and his sons, Princes William and Harry, walked behind Queen Elizabeth's coffin as she travelled to Westminster Hall from Buckingham Palace on Wednesday.

The public is able to view the Queen lying in state until her funeral on Monday, September 19.
