As tearful mourners watched on, the Queen's four children stood guard of their mother's coffin for more than 10 minutes at Westminster Hall this evening. The siblings each guarded a side of the coffin, with Charles, dressed in a Navy Admiral uniform, standing at the head. It was their second, and final, vigil for the beloved monarch. Known as the 'Vigil of the Children' - an honor dating back to the time of George V - it mirrors a previous event held earlier this week at St Giles' Cathedral in Edinburgh. However, unlike the previous vigil in which Charles donned a kilt and Andrew a morning suit, all four siblings were tonight dressed in military colors.
