Guard faints while standing watch beside Queen Elizabeth II's coffin

The BBC halted its live stream of the Queen's lying in state in Westminster Hall on Thursday after a guard appeared to faint and fall while watching over her coffin.

A social media video shows the uniformed guard stumbling to his right twice before regaining his balance. A number of officials and police officers rush to the guard's aid after he falls forward from the red podium onto the floor.

However, it's unclear whether the guard was injured. The public can view Queen Elizabeth II's lying in state beginning at 5 p.m. on Wednesday, with hundreds of thousands expected to file past to pay their respects until the funeral on September 19.
