(UPDATED) Snapshots of the funeral of Prince Philip, the Duke of Edinburgh
Queen Elizabeth and her family paid their last respects to Prince Philip on Saturday, April 17, at a funeral that celebrated his naval past, his international heritage and 7 decades of service in which he helped guide the queen through repeated crises.
Elizabeth, dressed in black and in a white trimmed black mask, stood alone as the funeral service began in St George’s Chapel, which dates back to 1475.
Mourners at the ceremony in Windsor Castle, including Prince Charles and his sons Princes William and Harry, were limited in number and separated due to COVID-19 rules.
Philip, officially known as the Duke of Edinburgh, died aged 99 on April 9. The queen in 1997 described Philip as her “strength and stay” over their decades of marriage.
Here are photos of the funeral.
