The Monarch and her eldest son are nearest Prince Philip s coffin, facing each other on opposite sides of the chapel.
The Queen has chosen to sit alone as she bids a poignant farewell to her husband of more than 70 years.
Harry is on the same side of the chapel as the Queen - but they are separated by Prince Andrew, Princess Anne and her husband Vice Admiral Sir Tim Laurence.
All the 30 mourners in the chapel have been kept in their bubbles, with space left between each group or single person for Covid safety.
