The Queen mourned her husband the Duke of Edinburgh with dignity and stoicism during a funeral service that bore Philip’s touch and celebrated his life and legacy.
After almost 70 years as head of state, the Queen will reign without Philip by her side – a man she met as a young girl and who was the bedrock of her happiness.
In a symbolic moment, the Queen was pictured sat alone in St George’s Chapel at Windsor Castle as she waited for the funeral procession carrying the duke’s coffin to arrive.
