This is the moment when a Royal Archer collapses as the Queen's coffin was being carried out of St Giles' Cathedral in Edinburgh.

The Royal Company of Archers had been standing outside the Cathedral waiting to march alongside the Queen's coffin when one of its members had a wobbly moment.

Footage shows one of the Archers in the back row swaying from side to side, before collapsing into his colleague as the Queen's coffin was leaving St Giles.

Three other Archer's then rush to his side as his company continued with their ceremonial duties and bagpipes continued to play.

The dizzied military member was then spotted sitting out of sight behind the statue of Walter Montagu Douglas Scott.
