Man ‘arrested after trying to jump over the barriers’ as Queen’s coffin begins its journey to Windsor
A MAN has reportedly been arrested for trying to jump over a barrier during the Queen's procession.
The Queen's coffin made its final journey through streets lined with thousands of mourners following an emotional state funeral service.
Thousands of mourners this morning lined the streets with many queuing over night to catch a glimpse of their beloved Monarch.
But one attendee was apprehended by cops for trying to jump over the barriers onto Parliament Street by the Cenotaph, according to witnesses at the scene.
