The man arrested after rushing out of the queue of mourners and grabbing 's coffin at the Palace of Westminster in a security scare that stunned police and well-wishers was behaving 'strangely' and had waited 14 hours to get close enough to the late monarch lying-in-state, eyewitnesses have claimed.
Officers tackled the man to the floor last night after he pushed through the queue, knocking aside a seven-year-old girl, in a scramble up to the coffin in the centre of the hall in - and then touched the Queen's casket, even managing to lift the Royal Standard in which it is draped.
The said the incident occurred at around 10pm, as the live feed from inside the hall cut away for a brief period. A spokesperson told MailOnline today that a man had been arrested in Westminster Hall on suspicion of a public order offence and that he still remains in custody.
