The Queen's four children gathered around her coffin today in a poignant evening vigil inside St Giles' Cathedral in Edinburgh. After a short procession, King , Anne, the Princess Royal, and each stood on one of the four corners of the oak coffin with their heads bowed in a ceremony known as the Vigil of the Princes. The Duke of York kept his eyes closed for a period of time during the 20-minute vigil, while the Princess Royal and Earl of Wessex had their eyes fixed towards the floor. The King - his eyes moistening - kept his hands joined and also looked towards the floor as members of the public filed past.
