Princess Charlotte and Prince George were spotted sharing a sweet sibling moment at the Queen's funeral after saying their final goodbyes to their late great-grandmother.

Princess Charlotte honoured the Queen's love of horses when she wore a horse shoe shaped brooch on her mourning jacket. It comes after Lady Louise Windsor was spotted wearing a horse-shaped necklace to the special Vigil held by the Queen's grandchildren as her coffin Lie-in-State on Saturday 17th September.
Princess Charlotte and Prince George attended the funeral, unlike their younger brother Prince Louis who was absent from the day's proceedings.
