Britain s Prince Philip will be laid to rest this afternoon, just over a week since his death aged 99.
The funeral at Windsor Castle been scaled back to a limit of 30 people because of coronavirus restrictions and well-wishers are being asked to stay home.
The service will celebrate his unwavering loyalty to Queen Elizabeth during their 73-year marriage.
Princes William and Harry, separated by their cousin Peter Philips, will walk behind their grandfather s coffin which will be carried by a Land Rover hearse designed by Prince Philip himself.
Although there is no sermon - as per the Duke of Edinburgh s request - the service will be a highly religious one.
The Royal Tutor (
Ōshitsu Kyōshi Heine) manga will end in the magazine s next issue on May 18. The issue will feature the manga on its cover, and it will include a color opening page and a B3-size poster drawn by Akai.
Yen Press began releasing the manga as e-books in English in 2015, and it describes the story:
Accepting the post of Royal Tutor at the court of the king of Grannzreich, Heine Wittgenstein is a little professor with a big job ahead! Each of the kingdom s four princes has a rather distinct personality. Does their diminutive new instructor have what it takes to lay down some learning? It s a comedy of educational proportions!

The Duke of Sussex flew in from the US on Sunday and is having to quarantine until he can see his family for the service in Windsor on Saturday afternoon.
It means there will only be a short amount of time for him to see his loved ones in private - before Philip s funeral is broadcast to the world.
Speaking to the Herald Sun about how he might be feeling, Katie Nicholl, Vanity Fair s Royal Editor, said she understands there is a very short window of time that Harry will actually have to see his grandmother and the rest of their family.
