As the Queen's coffin travels to Windsor Castle during the state funeral today, people on social media have been shocked by the 'insanely tall man' walking in the procession, and have been desperate to find out who he is.
The incredibly tall mourner stands out during the procession, leaving many people with questions over his identity. The very tall man is in fact Matthew Magee, a former assistant private secretary to the late monarch.
Standing at a huge 7ft 2in, he would have dwarfed the late Queen who was only 5ft 3in tall.
People on Twitter have been left gobsmacked by the royal staff member's height, with one writing: "Who is this insanely tall man? Is this the royal Slenderman?"

Another social media user echoed the question, saying: "Anyone know who the exceedingly tall man is?" while a third wrote "I don't know who he is, but he is a very tall man."
He was given to the role in 2018 and is often mistaken for the Queen's most dedicated member of staff, Paul Whybrew, charmingly nicknamed Tall Paul.
Mr Magee was also formerly the Duke of Kent Prince Edward's private secretary, but The Sun reports that he was chosen to work with the Queen because of his “brilliant brain”.
A royal insider told the publication: “He is a smashing guy with a great sense of humour and the Queen will love working with him on a daily basis.”
The Queen's coffin will shortly arrive at St George's Chapel in Windsor for a committal service where a smaller, more personal congregation will come together for a service conducted by Dean of Windsor David Conner, with a blessing from Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby.
Around 2,000 people attended the historic proceedings at Westminister Abbey for the Queen's state funeral where many royals broke down in tears at the emotional occasion.
Heartfelt hymns and readings were given at the Westminster service, many of which the Queen had a hand in choosing.
