THE Duke of Edinburgh will be laid to rest this weekend after his death at the age of 99. Plans for the Duke of Edinburgh s funeral have been modified due to current Covid-19 restrictions, but the ceremonial aspects of the day and the service are still in line with Philip s wishes, Buckingham Palace has said. Details of the duke s funeral were released by Buckingham Palace last Thursday, with further details being released yesterday.
Where is it taking place? At St George s Chapel, Windsor Castle, at 3pm on Saturday, April 17. The ceremonial elements will begin an hour earlier, including a procession which steps off at 2.45pm, followed by the arrival of a bespoke Land Rover hearse designed by the duke himself, carrying the coffin and a national minute s silence.
