The Earl of Wessex, front right, stands vigil beside the Queen Mother's coffin while it lay in state at Westminster Hall in London, Monday April 8 2002, the eve of her funeral which will be held at Westminster Abbey. The Earl, his two brothers, the Duke of York, rear left, and the Prince of Wales, rear right, and their cousin Viscount Linley, left, echoed history in a poignant ceremony reminiscent of another royal vigil, on the same spot at Westminster Hall, for King George V in 1936.
