Because of coronavirus restrictions, his funeral will take place within the grounds of Windsor Castle, with no public processions, but it will be televised. The palace has said Prince Harry will attend but his wife meghan, who is pregnant, has been advised by her doctors not to travel. Our royal correspondent Nicholas Witchell reports. At midday in the Capital Cities of the four nations of the united kingdom, 41 gun salutes sounded in tribute to The Duke. Fire fire. And for a man who served in the royal navy in the second World War and later, guns were fired in tribute aboard several warships. And in gibraltar, home to the royal navys gibraltar squadron. At Windsor Castle, the Earl Of Wessex arrived with his wife tojoin the queen in the familys mourning, as officials put the finishing touches to the plans for The Dukes funeral. It will take place at three oclock next Saturday Afternoon at st georges chapel inside Windsor Castle. No part of the funeral will be accessible to the public. The Dukes Coffin will be borne in a ceremonial procession from the castle� s state apartments to the chapel. The coffin will be borne on a Land Rover which The Duke helped to design. Members of the Royal Family will walk behind the coffin. There will be a national one Minute Silence when the coffin reaches the chapel at three oclock. Inside the chapel, the congregation will be limited to 30. The Prime Minister will not be attending, to free his place for the family. Members of the public are being discouraged from going to windsor. The best place to watch it will be on television, said a palace spokesman. From his highgrove home, the prince of wales has paid this tribute to his father. As you can imagine, myfamily and i miss my father enormously. He was a much loved and appreciated figure, and apart from anything else, i can imagine, were so deeply touched by the number of people here and elsewhere around the commonwealth, who also share our loss and our sorrow. My dear papa was a very special person, who i think above all else would have been amazed by the reaction and the touching things that have been said about him. And from that point of view, we are, my family, deeply grateful for all that. It will sustain us in this particular loss and at this particularly sad time. Other Family Tributes to The Duke were paid in a special bbc programme. His appreciation of how he could help the queen always seemed to be present in terms of supporting her, because she was very young when she became queen and they needed to be a Double Act for a lot of that time, in order to allow her to take on that role. My father was always a great source of support and encouragement. And guidance, all the way through. Never trying to curtail any of the activities or anything that we wanted to try and do, but always encourage that. And always remember and thank him for that. I think i will best remember him l as always being there, and a person you could bounce off ideas, but if you were having problems, you could always go to him, and know that he would listen, and try to help. Back in windsor, after their meeting with the queen, the earl and Countess Of Wessex departed from the castle. How was the queen . Shed been amazing, the countess said. Nicholas witchell, Bbc News. Well, The Duke will be remembered at Sunday Church services around the world. The head of the worldwide anglican communion, the archbishop of canterbury, justin welby, will take part in a Remembrance Service later. In sydney, the australian prime Minister And Governor general attended a service which included prayers for the queen. Reverend hayward spoke of The Dukes close connection to australia. He was a patron to over 800 charitable organisations at one time or another, simply a staggering number. Obviously, like all of us, the years of service can take a toll. It was reported in canada in 1969, he said this at a particular occasion. I declare this thing open, whatever it is. And there might be some here this morning who know what that is like. Prince philip has actually attended here at the cathedral many a time with his queen, and also as his children and grandchildren have. Jenny hocking is a political Biographer And Emeritus professor of history at Monash University in sydney, shejoins me now. Thank you very much for coming on the programme. My pleasure. What have on the programme. My pleasure. What have you on the programme. My pleasure. What have you made on the programme. My pleasure. What have you made of on the programme. My pleasure. What have you made of the what have you made of the reaction there in australia . Oh, Prince Philips death has really dominated our Media Coverage in the last four hours or so. Obviously it is a very solemn occasion to recall his life in his life of service with the queen in particular, i think there has been a great deal of focus on what this might mean for the queen and her time of grieving and of sorrow and a real focus on reminding ourselves of the life of Prince Philip, the connection he had with australia. He visited here more than 20 times. Not always with the queen but mostly of course with the queen and so theres been more of a focus, i think, on the royalfamily been more of a focus, i think, on the Royal Family and on the implications of this for the family, given his extraordinarily close role both within the family, with the queen but in presenting the monarchy as a family and its being recognised how strong a role he played in that. That being recognised how strong a role he played in that. Role he played in that. That is really interesting, role he played in that. That is really interesting, where role he played in that. That is really interesting, where do | really interesting, where do you think this leaves now the relationship between australia, ordinary australians and the Royal Family . Ordinary australians and the royalfamily . Its ordinary australians and the Royal Family . Ordinary australians and the Royal Family . Its been quite an interesting Royal Family . Its been quite an interesting 12 Royal Family . Its been quite an interesting 12 months Royal Family . Its been quite. An interesting 12 months here in australia in terms of that in australia in terms of that in general, quite separate from the death of Prince Philip. We had a very important case that i actually took trying to gain access to the queens letters to the governor general, i think that led to a lot of discussion about the ongoing relationship and just what that means, the interview between Oprah Winfrey and Prince Harry and megan markle. Again another spark of interest and Prince Philip, ithink, is Part Spark of interest and Prince Philip, i think, is part of what we see as a generational shift and there are a lot of questions now around where we should move forward and No Doubt it is alerting people, i think, to the fact that we have a Head Of State who is also a foreign monarch and just what that might mean in the future for australia moving away from that structural system of constitutional monarchy, but at the moment there is an outpouring of grief and sorrow, particularly for the queen and the royalfamily and particularly for the queen and the Royal Family and those other questions, i think, the Royal Family and those other questions, ithink, will come later. Other questions, i think, will come later come later. Im sure those questions come later. Im sure those questions of come later. Im sure those questions of course come later.

Oh, look, there is a great affection for regarded there . Oh, look, there is a great affection for the is a great affection for the queen here, there is No Doubt about that. Ourformer queen here, there is No Doubt about that. Our former prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull who has been a leading republican has been a leading republican has always described australians as Elizabeth Downs rather than monarchists and what he means by that as there is a great Affection And Understanding and knowledge of the queen. Most people have known no other monarch in their lifetime so i think that is very much how the queen is looked at and again at lens i think currency to the view that, with that passage of that generation will come a time where we think very seriously about attempts to move away from a monarchy to a republic, of course Malcolm Turnbull lead such an attempt in 1999 without success but its an ongoing discussion here. It is not something that is really driven by any one of these things, it is a desire to have a final sense of Independence And Autonomy in australia that has been a project really since federation itself. Been a project really since federation itself. Really good to talk to you, federation itself. Really good to talk to you, Thanks Federation itself. Really good to talk to you, thanks for to talk to you, thanks for coming on.

Thousands of people have been evacuated from the eastern Caribbean Island of St Vincent after a volcano on friday sent a cloud of Ash And Smoke high into the air. The Prime Minister said evacuees had been temporarily housed on Cruise Ships and on safer parts of the island. Our central America Correspondent Will Grant reports. It is an awe inspiring, frightening sight, captured by the islanders of St Vincent as they fled the affected areas. Huge, thick plumes of Smoke And Dust were sent shooting several kilometres into air, as La Soufriere unleashed its incredible explosive power. It was bright. But then the light began to deteriorate. It wasnt at a slow pace, it was rapidly deteriorating. It was just darkness. And then what happened, you began to feel something hitting your skin ash. And as the ash filled the sky and blocked out the sun, these were the scenes as daytime on the island turned dark as night in moments. These eruptions are rare just a handful in 200 years. The last was some a0 years ago, with no casualties, and the government on St Vincent are trying hard to avoid loss of life this time, too. I hereby order as follows. One, the evacuation of all premises in the areas designated as the Red Zone on the North East and the North West of St Vincent. And the evacuation of the area itself. To aid the evacuation order, a vessel was sent to the leeward side of the east Caribbean Island. A number of large commercial Cruise Lines which operate in the caribbean have also pitched in, and some residents found themselves aboard ships if they didnt have Safe Haven with family elsewhere. This is not a Drill Disaster Preparedness in the caribbean is generally well co ordinated, however, a volcanic eruption of this magnitude is a challenge of a different order, especially amid a pandemic. The threat of what could happen if the evacuation doesnt go smoothly is ever present. When La Soufriere erupted at the turn of the 20th century, 1600 people are believed to have died. Though many on St Vincent hoped they would never live through such an eruption, the hope is now that they can ride it out safely. Will grant, Bbc News. Rachael blackmore, a 31 year old jockey made history on saturday when she became the first woman to ride the winner in the Grand National, one of the most Famous Horse Races in the world. Its hard to even comprehend it right now, it hasnt even sunk in, the Grand National is the first race as a kid that would have caught my imagination or sparked my interest, and to finish with your head in front is beyond belief, to be honest.

As he came towards us, you could see him smiling as he came towards us. He was in awe because two girls were so similar, he would have a little joke. He told us we were so alike. That we must get up to some sort of fun with our boyfriends and doing swapping. We laughed it off, no we dont, really. This photograph where he is doing this, that was the oke about boyfriends. He had a twinkle in his eye . Oh, yes. He was having a bit of fun. This one is happy birthday from the gorgeous girls. The twins were surprised to find themselves in the papers the next day. Sheila has kept all the mementos. Which one of you is which . Ithink. Youre not sure . No, im not we were in every daily paper.

Memories of the day have sadly outlasted the Hms Sheffield, which was sunk during the falklands conflict. As for the twins, they will never forget The Duke and the fun few moments they shared.
