A Royal Archer fainted outside St Giles' Cathedral while the Queen's coffin was being carried out on Tuesday.
The group of Archers had been waiting to greet the coffin in a usual formality until one member of the group took a dizzy turn and was ushered away by two fellow members, before being seen looking pale and exhausted afterwards.
The man was pictured with his hands on his head and leaning up against a statue taking a breather as temperatures reached 20C on Tuesday.

The Mail Online reports how the man can be seen holding his cap between his hands as the coffin was laid in the hearse before being driven up the Royal Mile. The Royal Company of Archers were the Queen's official bodyguards whenever she was in Scotland.
They will now serve as the King's Scottish bodyguards. The military company duties are requested by the monarch and during Scottish ceremonial occasions.
Throughout the night on Monday, thousands of people joined huge queues to see the coffin lie in St Giles', with royalists waiting upwards of ten hours equipped with blankets, food and drink.
Around 4pm on Tuesday, the Queen's coffin was carried from St Giles' and placed in a hearse to be transported to Edinburgh Airport as Edinburgh locals said their final goodbyes to the late monarch who was very fond of the capital.
A huge RAF Globemaster aircraft took the coffin from the airport to London, where the Queen will lay at rest at Buckingham Palace before her funeral on Monday, September 19.
