King Charles III's new equerry - the 'braw darling' or 'hunky' Scottish Army officer who leaves royal fans swooning whenever he appears in public - accompanied the Queen as she left Buckingham Palace for the last time and was taken to lie in state at the Palace of Westminster.
Major Jonathan Thompson of the 5th Battalion Royal Regiment of Scotland was once the Queen's most senior bodyguard.
Known to friends as 'Johnny', in recent days he has found himself front-and-centre of historic Royal events as the equerry of King Charles III, having served in the role when he was Prince of Wales.
