Coalville Veterans gather to watch Queen's funeral

Ady Dayman

Available for over a year

As thousands of soldiers marched in the funeral procession of the Queen in London, a group of army veterans from Coalville gathered together to pay their own respects to the late monarch. The Snibstone New Inn organised a service at the town's clock tower, and then dozens of former soldiers joined together in the pub to watch the funeral together. It was an emotional send off for their commander in chief, as David Pittam reports.
