Britain’s longest-serving monarch Queen Elizabeth II was finally late to rest on Monday, 19 September, in the presence of hundreds of mourners as well as world leaders, prominent personalities, and members of the royal family. Before her state funeral, the Queen’s coffin was laid at the Westminster Hall for mourners to pay their last tributes. During this period, thousands lined up in queues to pay their respects to the former monarch. However, it was the actions of one person in the queue that caught people’s attention.
Among the mourners present in a queue beside the Queen’s coffin, one of them broke the line and went straight toward the coffin. Following this, he paid tribute in a unique manner. With folded hands, he kneeled down to pray and also dropped a coin. Reports suggest that the man was an Indian NRI who decided to offer tributes in the unique Indian style. The video from the incident has gone viral since then.
Posted by a Twitter user, the video shows the man walking across the line and offering his prayers. The user while joking about the act said, “I’m so baffled, someone tell me why this LanKabooter is matha tek’ing the Queen. Someone collect their chacha ffs.”
