Man dragged from Queen's coffin procession for shouting slur against Prince Andrew

A protestor was tackled to the ground by furious members of the public after shouting a slur at Prince Andrew as he walked behind the Queen's coffin.

The crowd had fallen completely silent as the procession made its way up the Royal Mile before the young man began shouting and running towards the barrier.

Despite being hauled onto the floor, the man, who looked in his early 20s, continued to shout comments directed at the Duke of York.

The crowd began chanting God Save The King to drown out the young man's heckles.

A police officer who had been standing nearby joined members of the public in detaining the man as the procession continued past before moving him away from the area.

Prince Andrew looked in the direction of the activist but showed no emotion as he continued to walk up the road.

It is not currently known whether the protestor was arrested.
