And now, one adorable young lad has gone viral himself thanks to his touching gesture to his sister.
In a clip seen more than 1.1million times on Twitter, a young girl is seen walking past the Queen's coffin.
But before she walks out of shot, her brother taps her on her shoulder and grabs her hand.
He then gestures her to follow his suit in bowing, before they both do just that.
Royal fans have been left in tears by the heartwarming act ahead of the monarch's funeral today (September 19).
One wrote: "Oh God this is just too precious. What a wonderful big brother."
Another commented: "What lovely children. Their parents must be very proud of them."
"Beyond adorable, a credit to their parents," a third agreed.
While a fourth viewer added "Out of the gloom comes light, wonderful."
Millions of mourners are expected to descend on London today to bid a final farewell to Queen Elizabeth II.
The funeral, which starts at 11am and will be shown across a number of TV channels, is also being attended by 2,000 guests including a number of high-profile dignitaries.
The sheer number of people attending has meant the security services have put in place the UK's largest ever anti-terror operation to handle the "serious threat".
