Funeral of Prince Philip: in pictures | UK News

Prince Philip was instrumental in designing his own funeral service, which has been planned for more than 25 years.

The Archbishop of Canterbury told Sky News the Duke of Edinburgh “was involved in every detail”.

COVID regulations meant the number of people attending the funeral had grown from around 800 to just 30 close friends and family.

Accompanied by her faithful lady-in-waiting Lady Susan Hussey, the Queen made her way from the Sovereign’s entry into the Bentley State.

Philip’s coffin was draped with his striking 12-foot personal standard and decorated with a wreath specially chosen by the monarch, and his naval admiral and sword.

Behind the coffin, dressed in morning suits and day dresses but no uniforms, were Philip’s eldest children, the Prince of Wales and the Princess Royal, followed by their siblings, the Earl of Wessex and the Duke of York.

In the third row were the Duke of Sussex and the Duke of Cambridge and between them was their cousin Peter Phillips.

Among those in mourning will be the Duchess of Cornwall, the Duchess of Cambridge, the Countess of Wessex and her children Viscount Severn and Lady Louise.
