Windsor remembers Duke of Edinburgh on day of his funeral
Windsor is centre stage as the nation prepared to say goodbye to the Duke of Edinburgh on the day of his funeral.
St George’s Chapel in Windsor Castle was decorated with Philip’s insignia reflecting his many roles in public life and his connections with many nations with his coffin due to be brought there in a customised Land Rover he helped design.
The Queen, who was married to Philip for 73 years, will wear a face mask as she leads 30 mourners under limits required by current coronavirus laws while police outside the castle kept a careful eye on the build-up.
A montage to commemorate the extraordinary life of The Duke of Edinburgh, made unique by its sheer breadth of experience, and the wartime generation he was part of.
