One of the women who attended the recently concluded Platinum Jubilee Pageant hosted by Queen Elizabeth II has become an internet sensation, and for all the wrong reasons.
This is after numerous cameras captured her fast asleep as the highly-publicised event went on.
Perhaps, what made it easy for her to be caught on camera was the fact that she was sitting right behind Prince Charles.
According to The Jamaica Observer, the woman is Lady Patricia Allen, the wife of Jamaica's Governor-General Sir Patrick Allen.

It is yet to be communicated whether the woman has a health condition that forced her to catch a nap, or if she was just fatigued after staying up too late the previous night.
Social media reactions
As expected, social media users were quick to pick the faux pas and turn it into a hilarious moment to create and share memes about.
@EmmaKennedy:
"Thoughts and prayers with the woman who has fallen asleep behind Prince Charles who will be an internet meme by the end of the day."
