The Queen’s loyal Page of the Backstairs, Paul Whybrew, who served Her Majesty for more than four decades, took part in Wednesday's emotional procession which saw the Queen's coffin moved to Westminster Hall.
Known to have had a close relationship with the Queen, Paul, also known as ‘Tall Paul’ even starred in the famous James Bond sketch alongside the monarch and Daniel Craig, which was aired for the Olympic Games back in 2012.

Paul has been described as a "constant presence" for the Queen, particularly during the Coronavirus lockdowns, as he was reported to have watched TV with her.
His loyal services even extended to tackling intruder Michael Fagan back in 1982, after he famously broke into the Queen’s bedroom in Buckingham Palace.
The beloved Page looked sombre as he walked past crowds directly in front of the Queen's coffin. Other devoted members of the monarch's staff also formed part of the procession, including the Palace Steward and another of the Queen's Pages.
