Medical Assistant ­Paisley Chambers-Smith helped pull the gun carriage carrying the coffin.

She wore a blue dress at the Windsor Castle ceremony yesterday as there is no Navy ceremonial maternity wear.

She said: “Charles asked when the baby was due.”

The medic works alongside civilian medical staff at an NHS hospital when not on deployment.

Paisley said after the ceremony: “It’s not something I imagined doing so soon in my career.

“The training was so hard but worth it and on the day it was a massive honour to be there.”
