The shortening of the guard next to Elizabeth’s coffin has raised concerns about the guards’ working hours.
Last night, a surprising moment was experienced around Queen Elizabeth’s coffin, when one of the guards fainted in the middle of his duties.
Queen Elizabeth’s coffin is constantly guarded by a group of guards from the Royal Guard in Westminster Hall. The guards are wearing the equipment specified by the guard, which includes, among other things, a heavy headdress.
The Queen’s coffin is guarded by the Royal Guard around the clock. According to several British media, the guards’ shifts last six hours, but they always change positions every 20 minutes.

People on social media consider six hours of continuous time standing still a long time. Many people have expressed their concerns about the issue on Twitter.
– I believe that they have to stand there for six hours straight. To my ears, it sounds like too long to stand completely still, one Twitter user horrified.
– It would be better if they moved every hour.
– A terrible thing. I hope he (guard) is okay.
