The Queen was forced to sit alone at the funeral of Prince Philip today.
Because of coronavirus rules the monarch was forced to sit by herself because the rest of her family were in a separate bubble to her.
Under the current regulations only people from the same household are allowed to sit together.
And people watching at home expressed their heartbreak at seeing The Queen alone.
Julie said: "Seeing our Queen alone and grieving for her husband is heartbreaking she has her family and her nation standing with her. RIP HRH The Prince Philip."
Rebecca McGuinness said: "So very sad to see our Queen alone in the church."
And Mo said: "I know many have had to sit alone at funerals due to Covid but seeing The Queen alone is heartbreaking as it is so public."
Before the funeral began The Queen emerged from Windsor Castle to lead the royal family in mourning at the funeral of her beloved husband, the Duke of Edinburgh.
Dressed in a face mask and in sombre black, it was the first time the monarch, grieving for her devoted companion of 73 years, has been officially seen in public since Philip died eight days ago.
The Queen was seen wiping away tears as emotion overwhelmed the monarch.
Accompanied by her loyal lady-in-waiting Lady Susan Hussey, the Queen made her way from the Sovereign's Entrance in the State Bentley, as the national anthem was played, to join part of the solemn funeral procession.
