But creating a wreath fit for the royal family was definitely a first for her. Ruth, of Honey Bee Florists, supplied flowers to Windsor Castle for the funeral of the Duke of Edinburgh, which was held on Saturday.

In the days leading up to Saturday’s funeral, Buckingham Palace had asked mourners not to travel to Windsor due to the pandemic. So, instead, a short ceremony and wreath laying was organised for those unable to attend in person.
