Viewers of the Queen's funeral have been left cringing after spotting one attendee appearing to be denied a handshake upon entering Westminster Abbey.
Footage of the eyebrow-raising moment was uploaded to Twitter on Monday morning, with users poking fun at the hilariously awkward exchange.
In the clip, several guests were seen to shake the hand of a gentleman who appeared to be welcoming mourners into Westminster Abbey prior to the Queen's state funeral service.
After shaking hands with a couple, a blonde-haired woman can be seen extending her hand to the gentleman, who appeared to completely blank her - despite her male companion being given a handshake. The woman swiftly continued walking, muttering something to her companion.
Twitter user Iain Liddle captioned the Tweet with three green check-mark emojis, followed by a red cross emoji, and already the short clip has garnered over 2,000 likes and been viewed almost 500,000 times.
One user comically wrote underneath the tweet: "Bumping into an ex when the missus is with you."
While another added: "Hahaha … she was fuming as well [crying laughing emoji]."
"Haha saw that, she was muttering to herself all the way in after that haha," someone else chimed in.
"Imagine going to HRM Queen Elizabeth II’s state funeral at Westminster Abbey in London and having your hand slapped away like this [sic]," a further user noted.
Another person shared the video, making a cheeky reference to the fact that roughly 4 billion people across the globe were expected to watch the ceremony, writing: "Funeral guest just got blanked for a handshake. Still, I don't suppose anyone is watching."
The video was captured as guests slowly filed into Westminster Abbey ahead of Queen Elizabeth II's funeral at 11:00AM BST earlier today.
Her Majesty sadly and suddenly passed away almost two weeks ago at Balmoral Castle in Scotland on Thursday, September 8.
After the Queen's coffin was transported to London, a period of lying-in-state commenced Westminster Hall on September 14, where mourners were able to pay their respects 23 hours a day.
Indeed they did, with more than 300,000 people estimated to have braved the five-mile queue and up to 17-hour wait, including former England captain, David Beckham, who was captured looking teary-eyed and emotional as he finally made his way into the Hall to pay his final respects after a 13-hour wait.
After the funeral ended at around noon this afternoon, the Queen's coffin took part in a procession, making a 1.5-mile journey to Wellington Arch, where the late monarch was transferred to a hearse in preparation for her passage to Windsor Castle.
At 4:00PM, her Commitment Service was held, where Queen Elizabeth II was slowly lowered into the Royal vault in St. George's Chapel.
This evening, the late monarch's family members gathered to say their final goodbyes during a private burial service at St. George's Chapel at 7:30PM BST, where Queen Elizabeth II was laid to rest beside her late husband, Prince Philip, and her parents, King George VI and the Queen Mother.
