WATCH: Royal guard near Queen Elizabeth II’s coffin collapses, falls to ground

New Delhi: At Westminster Hall, thousands of people gathered to say goodbye and pay their respects to Queen Elizabeth II. However, a terrible and disturbing incident occurred there that captured everyone’s attention.

A royal guard was standing next to Queen Elizabeth II’s casket when he passed out while on duty. A video of the incident was uploaded to the internet.

As we can see in this brief video, the girl standing to the left of the platform appears a little off-balance. He suddenly lurched forward and fell off the stage, thudding loudly to the ground.

All of the officers who were there quickly rushed to see how he was doing. The three additional guards on the podium, though, seemed completely unconcerned.

The man was being hauled off the ground by the policeman, but he didn’t appear to be completely unconscious.

The incident reportedly took place as the guards were set to exchange shifts.

The royal guard’s safety was a concern for many who saw him collapse. Some others conjectured that he might have worked long hours performing his tasks.

A user said, “He must’ve been so overwhelmed with what was happening.

The royal guards and those paying their respects to the late Queen Elizabeth II have had a difficult day.

The Queen’s casket was positioned atop a catafalque, a raised platform. It is protected by members of the Household Division, the Sovereign’s Bodyguard, or the Yeoman Warders of the Tower of London.
