A man has been arrested in connection with a breach of the peace after allegedly shouting at Prince Andrew as he walked behind the Queen's coffin.
The monarch's coffin travelled from the Palace of Holyroodhouse to St Giles' Cathedral in Edinburgh on Monday afternoon.
It was followed along the Royal Mile by the King, Queen Consort and other senior royal family members.
Members of the public flocked to the popular road in the capital to witness the moment the loyals travelled up to the cathedral where the Queen will lie at rest.
The crowd had fallen completely silent except for one man who began heckling the Duke of York.
The man appeared to be tackled to floor by members of the public before being detained by police, in footage circulated on social media.
Police Scotland have confirmed a 22-year-old was arrested in connection with a breach of the peace shortly before 3pm.
The procession travelled at a slow pace with the Queen’s children arranged by age with the eldest Charles on the right and Anne, Andrew and Edward on his left.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
