He was standing at the foot of the late monarch’s casket when he fell to the floor, appearing to faint.
Footage taken from a live broadcast which was posted to social media at around 1am captured the collapse.
As he was tended to, the live vision quickly faded to exterior, night-time vision of the building.
Over an hour later, the broadcast had still not returned to the scene inside the hall.

The guard, dressed in black, was holding a ceremonial staff when he fell to the floor, with nearby officials quickly rushing to help.
Soldiers in ceremonial uniform are maintaining a constant, 24-hour vigil around the Queen’s coffin while she is lying in state.
While the soldiers rotate every 20 minutes, the hours of remaining completely still while standing are six-hours in length.
The guards from units which include the Sovereign’s Bodyguard, the Household Division or Yeoman Warders of the Tower of London are required to remain completely still at the four corners of the catafalque.
