In a rare incident, a member of the Queen's cavalry was captured fainting and falling face-first on to the road before Britain's Remembrance Sunday ceremony held at the Cenotaph in London at the weekend.
Crowds were shocked as the female guard, dressed in full uniform alongside her fellow troops, appeared
to pass out and fall from the pavement, face-planting on the road ahead of a two-minute silence held by thousands in honour of the lives lost in conflict.
While one guard was snapped looking down at his fallen comrade, the lineup of troops remained stationary and appeared to look on.
According to the Daily Mail, it is not yet known what caused the guard's fall.
Meanwhile, the Queen, who has been plagued by ill health recently, did not attend the service after reportedly suffering a back sprain.
