The Royal Family is leading the nation in mourning after the horrific Air India plane crash earlier in the week.

Black armbands will also be worn by senior officers taking part in Trooping, as well as coachmen and women from the Royal Mews, driving carriages carrying members of the royal family or riding a coach’s lead horse as a postilion.

King Charles led a moment of silence and changed his uniform to pay tribute at the centuries-old Trooping the Colour parade.
