Two men were caught on camera about to pop bottles of Prosecco outside Buckingham Palace in an apparent effort to celebrate the death of Prince Philip.
Her Majesty announced the Duke of Edinburgh's death at midday as the Union Flag was lowered to half-mast outside the royal residence in London.
Philip had spent his final days at Windsor Castle with his wife after a 28-night stay in hospital having been admitted in mid-February for an infection and a pre-existing heart condition.
Members of the public had gathered earlier today to pay their respects but were shocked to see the unnamed duo brazenly celebrating the Duke's death.
