British Royal Guard collapses near the Queen's coffin on Livestream
Livestream footage of the Lying-in-state ceremony of British Monarch Queen Elizabeth II was cut-off for almost an hour after one of the royal guards collapsed meters away from her coffin.
The ceremony held in Westminster hall on Thursday included a crowd of mourners that witnessed the guard swaying for a brief moment before fainting, after-which paramedics rushed in to attend to the guard's aid, according to British local media outlets.

Although no official details have been released on what caused the incident, it's noteworthy that the British Royal Guards on duty for the ceremony must remain still for a long period of time as thousands of mourners visit the Queen's coffin to pay respect for the late Monarch, which can cause a number of issues directly related to the collapse, including poor blood circulation and dizziness.
The longest-reigning British Monarch will Lie-in-State in Westminster Hall for four days prior to the state funeral to allow the public to pay their respects, and on the morning of Monday 19th September, the Lying-in-State will end and the Coffin will be taken in Procession from the Palace of Westminster to Westminster Abbey, where the State Funeral Service will take place, as stated by the official website of the British Royal Family.
