Susanna Reid and Ben Shephard spoke with Keith Hanson who was a bodyguard to the Queen until he retired in 2020. The Good Morning Britain guest opened up on his time in the role and revealed the way in which the Queen made people feel at ease when they met her.
Ben began: “You must have seen on a number of occasions people frozen with fear and confused about the protocol.
“But always the Queen had this way about her at putting people at ease.”
Keith replied: “She did indeed. We would attend investitures where we stood just a few feet behind the Queen.
“And you then saw the people as they were called forward you would see the abject fear across their face and when they actually got in front of the Queen their eyes would widen, mouths open but nothing came out until the Queen commanded the situation.”

Keith said: “Absolutely. Even at the garden parties, the first thing the Queen asked was, ‘Have you travelled far?’
“She asks about them and it personalises the situation and makes them feel like she’s genuinely interested in them.”
Meanwhile, thousands of people have been queuing through the night to see the Queen’s coffin at St Giles’ Cathedral in Edinburgh.
The Queen’s coffin will remain at the cathedral until 5pm before travelling to Tuesday.
