Royal fans noticed one uninvited guest at the state funeral of Queen Elizabeth II.
On top of the coffin at Monday's state funeral was a handwritten note from King Charles to his mother, which appeared to read, "Loving and devoted memory" and was nestled in a floral arrangement, which are full of touching meanings.
The flowers attracted the little arachnid who crawled over the note, unbeknownst to its significance, during the service.
One person tweeted: "There was a spider on The Queen's coffin. As a spider fan, I am elated! Luckiest spider in the world."
Another remarked: "Did anyone else spot the spider catching a ride on Queen Elizabeth II coffin?"
One royal fan thought the Queen may have enjoyed their presence saying: "It's said that the Queen loved it when things went awry. I think she'd love the bishop dropping his paper on the floor as well as the spider in her flower arrangement."
The spider could have come from one of the royal gardens as the flowers were sourced from Buckingham Palace, Clarence House and Highgrove House, and all lovingly chosen by her eldest son King Charles.
The beautiful bouquet also had a special connection to the Queen's late husband, the Duke of Edinburgh as it included a sprig of Myrtle from her wedding day.
The Royal Family's Twitter expanded on the choices.
The post read: "At The King's request, the wreath contains foliage of Rosemary, English Oak and Myrtle (cut from a plant grown from Myrtle in The Queen's wedding bouquet) and flowers, in shades of gold, pink and deep burgundy, with touches of white, cut from the gardens of Royal Residences."
