This is the moment staff at a crematorium interrupted a funeral service because mourners were too close together:
Craig Bicknell, from Milton Keynes, said he moved his chair over to his mum in order to comfort her during his dad's funeral which took place on 2 October.

After he moved over to his mum at Crownhill Crematorium in Milton Keynes, other mourners followed suit to help the grieving widow.
At this point a member of staff interrupted the service by waving his arms and telling the family members to 'move the chairs back'.
Craig explained he and his brother have been with their mum for two weeks, forming a bubble together while they mourned the death of his dad, Alan Wright.

In a comment shared with Milton Keynes Community Hub, he said: "We are absolutely heartbroken. Me and my brother haven't been able to leave my mum's side for two weeks as it is, being there for my Mum, within her bubble.
"It scared my daughter and shocked everyone in the room. This is not how funerals should be and with the guidelines in place for pubs, bars, public transport etc, how this can carry on at funerals is beyond belief. A devastating day made even worse."
He added in a post on Facebook: "I can sit in a restaurant, I can sit in a pub, I can live at her house, I can travel in a limousine to the crematorium with six. But when I want to give my mum a cuddle at dad's funeral, a man flies out mid service shouting stop the service and makes us split."
According to the Milton Keynes Community Hub, the council has apologised to the family and have confirmed people in the same household and support bubbles will be able to sit together in future.

A spokesperson for Milton Keynes Council said: "We are sorry to have upset this family. We don't usually step in if a guest needs to be comforted by another family member and in this instance should have taken a more considered approach.
"We ask funeral directors to let us know whether any chairs should be grouped in advance, and from now on this includes guests who are in the same household or bubbles, as well as people who need extra support.
"We hope this provides additional comfort at a difficult time."
