The Duke of Edinburgh,His Royal Highness Prince Philip, who died last Friday at the age of 99, will be laid to rest today at 3 p.m. (10 a.m. ET) at the St George s Chapel in Windsor, West of London.
His funeral will be a “Ceremonial Royal Funeral”, the same as that of Queen Elizabeth, The Queen Mother. It will not be a “State Funeral” - something that is generally reserved for Monarchs.
Arrangements for the funeral have been in the works for many years but the memorial service has had to be modified in light of the pandemic and the congregation of mourners will, therefore, only consist of close family and friends of the beloved patriarch.
