Members of the armed forces will feel an “overwhelming feeling of sadness” on Saturday as they bid farewell to the Duke of Edinburgh.
Servicemen spoke fondly of the duke ahead of the funeral, praising him as an “absolutely amazing servant to this country”.
The Chief of the Defence Staff also paid tribute to the duke, saying Saturday will be a “sombre moment” but also a “celebratory moment” of a life well-lived.
Philip enjoyed an active naval career between 1939 and 1951, and was a veteran of the Second World War.
