00:00 The Queen's eight grandchildren, including Prince Harry in his military uniform,

00:04 stood by her coffin in her honour as she lay in state in Westminster Hall as weeping mourners filed past tonight.

00:10 Queen Elizabeth's grandchildren Prince William, the Prince of Wales, Prince Harry,

00:21 Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie, Zara Tindall and Peter Phillips, Lady Louise Windsor and James,

00:28 Viscount Severn, arrived just before 6pm where they held a 15-minute vigil.

00:33 Brothers William and Harry, both dressed in uniform, stood guard at the Queen's lying in

00:46 state in Westminster Hall on Saturday evening as a stream of mourners filed past after queuing for hours.

00:52 Prince Harry, who saw action on the front line during two tours of duty in Afghanistan,

01:04 has previously been denied the chance to wear his military uniform as he publicly mourns,

01:09 because he is no longer a working royal.

01:17 But royal sources said the King decided his youngest son could wear uniform for the vigil.

01:22 Despite being a former army officer, Harry has been in civilian dress for

01:34 official events this week, including walking behind the Queen's coffin on Wednesday.

01:45 On Saturday evening, Prince Harry was wearing the Blues and Royals,

01:49 No. 1 uniform, KCVO neck order and star, Afghanistan Operational Service Medal,

01:55 Golden, Diamond and Platinum Jubilee Medals and Army Pilot Wings.

01:59 Prince William was wearing the Blues and Royals, No. 1 uniform,

02:10 the Garter Sash, the Garter Star, Golden, Diamond and Platinum Jubilee Medals and RAF Pilot Wings.

02:17 The brothers were joined in their silent tribute around the coffin by cousins Zara Tindall and

02:28 Peter Phillips, princesses Beatrice and Eugenie, and Lady Louise Windsor and her brother Viscount Severn.

02:34 The Young Royals, led by Prince William, were in position at the top of the Grand Committee

02:46 staircase in the corner of the vast hall at 5.58pm. At 6pm, the tapping which signifies

02:59 the changing of the guard sounded and William began walking down the steps, one at a time,

03:04 followed by Harry, then Beatrice and Eugenie side by side, Louise and James side by side,

03:10 and Zara and Peter also side by side.

03:13 Silence fell as members of the public looked on,

03:22 with the only sound being the grandchildren's footsteps on the stone.

03:26 Prince William was positioned at one end of the coffin, facing the north entrance,

03:37 while Harry was positioned at the opposite end, facing the area of the hall where thousands of

03:42 people have entered over the last few days. The Prince of Wales stood with his hands clasped in

03:53 front and his head bowed. Louise and James' parents, the Earl and Countess of Wessex,

03:58 looked on from a platform facing the coffin.

04:01 Members of the public continued to file past while the Queen's grandchildren stood guard,

04:13 with some women wiping tears away from their face as they left the hall.

04:17 At 6.15pm, the tapping sounded and the grandchildren ended their vigil.

04:21 Prince William led the group away from the coffin, followed by Zara and Peter,

04:26 Louise and James, Beatrice and Eugenie, and finally Harry.

04:31 Prince William led the group away from the coffin, followed by Zara and Peter,

04:34 Louise and James, Beatrice and Eugenie, and finally Harry.
