He then made an effort to seize the coffin of Britain’s longest-serving monarch Queen Elizabeth before raising the royal standard.

The Metropolitan Police Department also released the following statement: “On Friday, September 16, at 22:00 hrs., members of the Metropolitan’s Parliamentary and Diplomatic Protection Command apprehended a man in Westminster Hall as a result of a disturbance.

“He was arrested for an offence under the Public Order Act and is currently in custody.”

While speaking to the Daily Mail, a witness described the disturbing incident:  “We saw him (the man) in the queue from the beginning of the queue and throughout the day, he was by himself. “

“When we entered the room we were at the top of the stairs when we saw the incident.

“A lady screamed as it happened it was quite unnerving. Although he was detained and people kept calm and carried on,” the witness added.
