ROYAL fans were left in tears watching "brave" Prince George and Princess Charlotte walking with their parents the Prince and Princess of Wales at Queen Elizabeth II's funeral today.

George, nine, looked smart in a navy suit as he walked behind the Queen's coffin alongside his father, who was dressed in his military uniform.

As William appeared to be finding it difficult to conceal his emotions, his son looked equally sombre walking next to his dad.

Charlotte, meanwhile, looked chic in her all-black outfit, which included her first hat, as she walked next to her mother Kate.

People on social media were quick to comment on the touching family display, with one writing on Twitter: "Prince William and George have broke me."

"My heart just dropped when it cut to little george bless him," another added.
