Police have arrested a man who attempted to grab at the Queen 's coffin - in an incident which left mourners stunned. Officers tackled the man to the floor during the jaw-dropping incident, which took place around 10pm at Westminster Hall on Friday.


It is believed the man pushed through a queue of mourners, among them a seven-year-old girl (pictured), rushed up to the coffin and tried to lift the royal standard. He is then thought to have put his hands on the Queen's casket.


Footage before and after the incident shows the Royal Standard, the official flag of the sovereign, has been moved. The Queen has been lying in state at Westminster Hall since Wednesday, when her coffin was brought from Buckingham Palace to the historic venue to allow people to come and pay their respects.


Hundreds of thousands of respectful mourners are thought to have passed through the hall in the last two days, despite queues times stretching up to 24 hours. But mourners were left visibly shocked during Friday night's incident - which took place just hours after King Charles and his family held a vigil in honor of the Queen.


Alongside siblings Anne, Andrew and Edward, the newly crowned monarch stood guard beside his mother's coffin. Last night, one witness who saw the incident told MailOnline how a mourner 'screamed' when she saw the man running at the coffin. The witness said: 'We saw him (the man) in the queue from the beginning of the queue and throughout the day, he was by himself. When we entered the room we were at the top of the stairs when we saw the incident. A lady screamed as it happened it was quite unnerving. Although he was detained and people kept calm and carried on.'


Another witness Tracey Holland (pictured), whose seven-year-old niece, Darcy, was pushed aside by the man as he rushed at the coffin, last night described the incident. She said: 'A person decided they were going to push my seven-year-old niece out the way, run up to the coffin, lift up the standard and try to do I don't know what. She was grabbed out the way and the police had him within two seconds. Ms Holland added: (It was) terrible, absolutely terrible, so disrespectful and unbelievable - and this poor little seven-year-old child, this is her lasting memory of the Queen.'


The Metropolitan Police last night confirmed that a man had been arrested on suspicion of a public order offense. A spokesperson for the force said: 'At 10pm on Friday 16 September officers from the Met's Parliamentary and Diplomatic Protection Command detained a man in Westminster Hall following a disturbance. He was arrested for an offense under the Public Order Act and is currently in custody.' A spokesperson for the the UK Parliament, said last night: 'We’re aware of an incident in Westminster Hall, in which a member of the public moved out of the queue and towards the Catafalque. They have now been removed from the Hall and the queue restarted.'


The Queen lying in state at Westminster Hall has been covered via a live stream on the BBC 24-hours a day since the coffin arrived at the venue on Wednesday. But the cameras, which are delayed for around 30 seconds, quickly cut away from the coffin around 10pm on Friday, instead showing a moving image of the outside of the Palace of Westminster. The cameras did not turn back to the casket for around 15 minutes, at which point the Royal Standard appeared to have been moved. One mourner who witnessed the incident, last night told The Sun: 'It happened so fast. Someone got up to the coffin, grabbed the flag and pulled it upwards. The mourner, who did not wish to be named, described members of the public 'hysterically crying' and 'shaking' after the incident.


It comes after King Charles and his siblings, Princess Anne and Princes Andrew and Edward, on Friday mounted their touching final vigil (pictured) for the Queen before the late-monarch is laid to rest on Monday. 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.

The man wanted to expose them that there was only mannequin in there. Like George Bush sr that went the way of the skull&bone founder geronimo and had people carried coffin without his body inside, his family just recently demanded his bones returned after 100 yrs anniversary.
