Eagle-eyed viewers have been left gobsmacked after spotting a tiny uninvited guest attending the Queen's funeral.
Several people on social media noted the appearance of a spider on the Queen’s coffin as the ceremony took place.
The creature was seen crawling across a piece of card placed on the coffin alongside the crown and a floral display.
A screenshot of the insect on the card was also posted to Twitter by an eagle-eyed viewer who wrote: "Bro there's a spider running across the card on the queen's coffin."
Another added: "Whoever left the #interflora card on the queen's flowers didn’t notice, what is now, the worlds most famous spider [sic]."
"Did anyone else see the spider on the Queen's coffin or was it just me?" asked a third.

Footage of the arachnid hitching a ride was broadcast around the world as the Queen's coffin was filmed being brought into Westminster Abbey during the ceremony.
A fourth wrote in all caps: "NOT THE SPIDER ON QUEEN ELIZABETHS CROWN [sic]."
"Did anyone else see the spider crawling across the card on the flowers?" asked a fifth. "The Queen would have [been] happy she loves Nature [sic]."
"The Queen and the spider. That's a book title right there," wrote a sixth while a seventh added: "There was a spider on The Queen's Coffin. As a spider fan, I am elated! Luckiest Spider in the world!"
An eighth speculated: "If I was carrying the queen's coffin and saw that spider, I don't even care I'm dropping her and running away."
The Queen's coffin has been adorned with a beautiful wreath of flowers for her historic state funeral today - and the stunning bloom has a simple message placed within it.
The colourful funeral wreath includes a poignant connection to the Queen's late husband, the Duke of Edinburgh, and includes a sprig of flowers from her wedding to her late husband, who she shared more than 73 years of marriage with.
And the message left in the flowers has been written by her son King Charles - although the exact words on it are not yet clear.
The wreath has been made completely sustainable, on request of the King and will be buried with her at Windsor. It contains plants from the gardens of Buckingham Palace, Clarence House and Highgrove House.
