The region will fall silent today as the nation remembers the Duke of Edinburgh.
From his beloved Sandringham where Prince Philip spent most of his final years to all four corners of the county, people will pause for a minute s reflection at 3pm before his funeral gets under way in St George s Chapel, at Windsor Castle.
There will be no grand state parades down the Mall in London or through the streets of Windsor because of Covid-19. There will be just 30 mourners in the towering chapel, instead of the 800 who were due to be invited before the pandemic and the entire event will take part within the castle walls.
