We mourn too for our own loss. The loss we experience as a people and a nation at the death of one who has been part, one way or another, of all our lives for all our lives. Prince Philip held something for all of us, represented something on behalf of all of us and we have lost that now.
The choir, who wore black robes, took their masks off to sing hymns but members of the congregation were not allowed to sing under coronavirus restrictions.

A former Dean of St Edmundsbury who was the driving force behind the cathedral s multi-million-pound tower project has died.
The Very Reverend James Atwell was Dean of St Edmundsbury Cathedral in Bury St Edmunds from 1995 to 2006, before moving on to be Dean of Winchester until his retirement in 2016.
During his time in Bury St Edmunds, his vision and determination saw the completion of the last unfinished Anglican Cathedral through the Millennium Project - putting Suffolk’s cathedral firmly on the map.
