Hundreds of people in the town of Windsor took part in a national minute’s silence in honour of the Duke of Edinburgh as his funeral began.
Crowds lining the high street outside the walls of Windsor Castle and along the Long Walk fell silent at 3pm in remembrance of the nation’s longest-serving consort.
People held Union flags, partners wore matching hats and others clutched bunches of flowers.
Commemorations were disrupted shortly after, when a topless protester ran past crowds and jumped on to a statue of Queen Victoria before being removed by police officers.
The woman, who was without a top or bra, ran into the road shouting “save the planet” when members of the public began clapping following the silence.
