The son of a hero of the Falklands War is among the group of senior officers who will carry Prince Philip on his final journey today.
Deputy Colonel Commandant of The Rifles, Major General Rupert Jones, is the son of Herbert H Jones, who was awarded a posthumous Victoria Cross by the Queen for his heroism in the face of battle with the Argentinians in 1982.
Major General Jones will also be joined as a pallbearer by Lt Alec Heywood, a Grenadier Guard whose grandfather served at both the funeral of George VI and the Queen s coronation. He will be in command of the bearer party carrying Prince Philip s coffin.
