THIS is the hilarious moment a woman appears to nod off during today’s Platinum Jubilee Pageant.
Viewers watching the colourful spectacle marking the Queen‘s 70-year reign cracked up after spotting the mystery guest sitting behind Prince Charles with her eyes closed and head to one side.
The Prince of Wales is enjoying the event outside Buckingham Palace in the royal box alongside the Duchess of Cornwall.
At one point, Charles stood to take it all in – but those watching at home were distracted by someone in the background.
Tash Crump, a marketing executive from Southampton, said: “The woman falling asleep behind Prince Charles to the point they had to change camera angle had us in stitches, bless her!
“Sometimes you just need a snooze.”

Queen appears as HOLOGRAM during Platinum Jubilee pageant
Another woman wrote on Twitter: “Someone wake that lady up, she’s been asleep the last 15 minutes.”
And a third, Amanda Burt, chimed in, tweeting: “Jeez how embarrassed will that woman be when she realises the world has noted her falling asleep.”
Also in the box as the Platinum Jubilee celebrations draw to a close are William and Kate, and their children George, Louis and Charlotte.
They watched Her Majesty appear as a hologram in the 240-year-old Gold State Coach as it made its way down The Mall.
Cheeky Louis – who stole the show at Thursday’s Palace balcony appearance – was spotted beaming as he saw his great-grandmother pass by in digital form.
The ambitious £15million pageant follows a 3km route similar to that of the monarch’s coronation in 1953 and is split into four acts.
These are – For Queen and Country with a military parade; The Time of Our Lives progressing through seven decades of culture, music and fashion; Let’s Celebrate telling the story of the Queen’s life in 12 chapters with corgi puppets and carnival creations; and the Happy and Glorious musical spectacle.
Celebrities are travelling in decorated open top double decker buses for the decade-by-decade celebrations.
Earlier, a peloton of 300 cyclists, riding vintage bikes from across the seven decades of the Queen’s reign, travelled down The Mall led by Sir Chris Hoy and cycling golden couple Dame Laura and Sir Jason Kenny.
And later, close to 200 national treasures will take to the stage to serenade the Queen by singing the national anthem at the grand finale of the Platinum Jubilee festivities.

Stars including Sir David Jason, Harry Redknapp, Sir Cliff Richard, Sandie Shaw, Felicity Kendal, Joe Wicks and Holly Willoughby will join Ed Sheeran in a mass rendition of God Save The Queen.
It is hoped the monarch will make an appearance on the Palace balcony to round off the weekend, though this has not been confirmed.
