Five soldiers of the guard of honor fainted outside St Paul's Cathedral in London, where a jubilee service was held today to mark the 70th anniversary of the reign of Queen Elizabeth II of Great Britain, Mail Online reports..

The incidents took place shortly before Prince Charles, who officially represents the Queen today, arrived at the cathedral to attend a special ceremony that opens the celebration of Her Majesty's Platinum Jubilee..

The guards retained their professionalism and self-control, and the three soldiers who lost consciousness were helped to their feet by those nearby.. The Department of Defense confirmed that a total of five people fainted, adding that none of them required hospital treatment..

Today in London, the air temperature is about 20C, so standing for many hours in the heat and in military uniform required special endurance from each of the guards..

The first sentry, a member of the RAF Regiment, collapsed as Foreign Secretary Lizz Trouss climbed the steps of the cathedral, but was quickly escorted away by two members of the armed forces to receive medical attention..

A moment later, a second soldier, a member of the Royal Canadian Artillery, fell on his side and had to be leaned against a wall before medical treatment could be given to him..
