Prince William and his family have toured the plane that carried the Queen's coffin back to London.

The Prince and Princess of Wales were among thousands of people at RAF Fairford on Friday for the Royal International Air Tattoo.

The C-17 Globemaster III, which returned the Queen to the capital after her death, is one of many on display.
