The chairs were reserved and positioned at the head of the chamber waiting for the royal couple to arrive for the televised service.

Another fan shared their sympathy for the new King who is attending multiple events just a few days after The Queen's death.

They said: “What a baptism of fire for King Charles. How he keeps on his feet I don't know. An unenviably demanding job.
