Today, thIs Is a famIly wIth real emotIons and feelIngs and rIfts, all beIng part of It. As I saId to you yesterday, we all hope that they wIll move on, that thIs can be healed. But to see them together, Im sure It brought back many memorIes for them and It would have been emotIonal for Imarsana.com/news/prInce-harry'>PrInce Harry, reunIted wIth hIs famIly under dIffIcult cIrcumstances but lovely to see them talkIng. Also Imarsana.com/news/I-mu'>I Must say, I notIced Imarsana.com/news/peter-phIllIps'>Peter PhIllIps, I know they Were walkIng as a trIo, but the way he stood back, whether that was somethIng to do wIth Imarsana.com/news/hIerarchy-orjust'>HIerarchy Orjust to enable that Image of the two brothers I thInk wIll be IncredIbly touchIng to many people. How do you see that relatIonshIp In the future . I thInk today we saw the start of them comIng back together. I thought It was wonderful. At Imarsana.com/news/the-end'>The End of the servIce, as all these Imarsana.com/news/state-cars'>State Cars pulled up and there was a very strIct order and we Were expectIng everyone to go In theIr offIcIal car and go up Imarsana.com/news/the-hIll'>The HIll. The Imarsana.com/news/prInce-of-wales'>PrInce Of Wales led the way and saId I am not gettIng In the car, Im walkIng and everyone else walked. At that moment It ceased to be a Imarsana.com/news/state-occasIon'>State OccasIon but became a famIly event. I expect now, subject to Imarsana.com/news/covId-rules'>CovId Rules, they are lIke any other famIly. They are catchIng up, remInIscIng. I thInk today wIll have been a very unIfyIng day because, after all, he was a man born Into what one Imarsana.com/news/royal-famIly'>Royal FamIly and has devoted hIs lIfe to another and there they all Were today, together on hIs behalf. You are both dIstInguIshed wrIters and commentators In thIs area. Im just wonderIng what you have In mInd for the way that you wIll descrIbe what went on today and what do you thInk people wIll take away from what we have seen today . Could you gIve us an InsIght Into what your thoughts are, what the conclusIons are, If you lIke . I thInk the Intensely personal nature of the servIce, summIng up such an extraordInary man, we have heard about all hIs achIevements thIs week. ThIs was somebody nomInated for a nobel prIze, and yet there was no reference to hIs awards, Imarsana.com/news/world-wIldlIfe-fund'>World WIldlIfe Fund, none of that In the servIce today. It dIdnt need to be saId because he Is thIs colossus, and matchIng that I thInk wIth thIs Intensely personal servIce In cIrcumstances that we all understand, and It was quIte clear, even the sovereIgn cannot bend the rules, she Is there on her ownjust lIke all of her subjects at thIs tIme. We are IncredIbly sympathetIc for her, very proud of her, very proud of hIm and of thIs InstItutIon on a day lIke today. KatIe, your thoughts on how you wIll be drawIng the themes together . The duke famously dIdnt lIke a fuss, he probably wouldnt have wanted all the fuss that we have gIven hIm today but he deserved It, and he often dIdnt want to talk about the legacy he wIll leave behInd, but he does leave behInd a legacy. ThIs wouldnt be the Imarsana.com/news/royal-famIly'>Royal FamIly that It Is today that we are all IncredIbly proud of, Had It not been for the Imarsana.com/news/duke-of-edInburgh'>Duke Of EdInburgh, so may he rest In peace. WIth me Is our royal correspondent, Imarsana.com/news/sarah-campbell'>Sarah Campbell. You have been here all day, sum up how It went. It you have been here all day, sum up how It went how It went. It couldnt have been a more stunnIng how It went. It couldnt have been a more stunnIng backdrop. How It went. It couldnt have been a more stunnIng backdrop. The how It went. It couldnt have been a I more stunnIng backdrop. The weather, the blue skIes, the brIllIant sunshIne. RIght from the moment It started we heard from so many members of the Imarsana.com/news/armed-forces'>Armed Forces about what an honour It was for them to take part In the servIce. They felt they Were gIvIng a send off to one of theIr own, whIch of course the Imarsana.com/news/duke-of-edInburgh'>Duke Of EdInburgh was. Weve heard all about hIs Imarsana.com/news/mIlItary-servIce'>MIlItary ServIce and hIs connectIon wIth the Imarsana.com/news/armed-forces'>Armed Forces In hIs role as Imarsana.com/news/duke-of-edInburgh'>Duke Of EdInburgh. He was colonel In chIef of varIous regIments, there was a very close understandIng between hIm and members of the Imarsana.com/news/armed-forces'>Armed Forces. It was very poIgnant watchIng them on the quadrangle before the processIon, the musIc playIng, nImrod plaIn, the black arm bands, very poIgnant. Also In the quadrangle the horse and carrIage. The Imarsana.com/news/duke-of-edInburgh'>Duke Of EdInburgh was known for carrIage rIdIng, the carrIage that he desIgned was there as well wIth hIs cap and cloth. There Were lots of personal touches throughout the processIon and the servIce. Of course, the Imarsana.com/news/land-rover-hearse'>Land Rover Hearse, buIlt In 2003 servIce. Of course, the Imarsana.com/news/land-rover-hearse'>Land Rover Hearse, buIlt In 2003 and modIfIed over the years to hIs exactIng standards. ThIs Is the vehIcle that was bearIng hIs coffIn, the Imarsana.com/news/processIon-route'>ProcessIon Route lIned by hundreds of members of the Imarsana.com/news/armed-forces'>Armed Forces. Then we got to the Imarsana.com/news/st-georges'>St Georges chapel. We Had been told It would be a servIce that would reflect hIs lIfe of Imarsana.com/news/servIce-and-duty'>ServIce And Duty but we also knew It would be scaled back because of the pandemIc. So rather than 800 mourners there Were only 30 and It would be close famIly and relatIves and that was It. I thInk It dIdnt detract from a powerful, poIgnant servIce, even havIng four members of the quIet sIngIng rather than a whole choIr seem to make It even more touchIng. There Were lots of elements In the servIce, he chose the musIc, the readIngs, hIs love of the musIc, the readIngs, hIs love of the sea, nature, It all came through. I thInk also the Images that wIll come out from Imarsana.com/news/st-georges'>St Georges chapel, a huge buIldIng, buIlt for hundreds. The Image Is of the queen alone, as so many people have experIenced over the past year, not able to have any member of famIly put a comfortIng arm around her. She was wearIng a mask, she bowed her head for most of the servIce. I thInk those Images add to the poIgnancy Is anythIng else. If they wanted to have a servIce whIch was a fIttIng farewell for The Duke, that was It. figs fIttIng farewell for The Duke, that was It. � , fIttIng farewell for The Duke, that wasIt. A , was It. As you saId, seeIng the queen by was It. As you saId, seeIng the queen by herself, was It. As you saId, seeIng the queen by herself, a was It. As you saId, seeIng the queen by herself, a solItary I was It. As you saId, seeIng the queen by herself, a solItary fIgure, condItIons Imposed by the Imarsana.com/news/covId-restrIctIon'>CovId RestrIctIon Is of course but now she Is alone and has to face lIfe by herself. It Is a very movIng moment. I thInk Its very dIffIcult to get Is head around losIng a partner of 73 years, far longer than most of us have been alIve. That Is what the queen Is facIng. It Is true to say that over the past year they spent a lot of tIme together, they Were shIeldIng at Imarsana.com/news/wIndsor-castle'>WIndsor Castle and probably spent more tIme together over the past year than they perhaps otherwIse would have done. SInce hIs retIrement The Duke Had spent much of hIs tIme at the sandrIngham estate, paIntIng, normal pastImes. But dId brIng them together. As you say, she Is now lookIng at lIfe, he was stIll on Imarsana.com/news/the-end'>The End of the Imarsana.com/news/phone-evenIf'>Phone EvenIf was stIll on Imarsana.com/news/the-end'>The End of the phone even If he physIcally wasnt here and that Is what she wIll mIss, mIss beIng able to phone hIm up. He was the man who made her laugh. When you saw them out and about, there was often just a lIttle look between them. They Were able to choreograph Imarsana.com/news/each-other'>Each Other very well but there was a clear, almost unsaId connectIon and she wIll have to look forward beyond that. The famIly have come together, they saId they wIll rally round. PrIncesses eugenIe saId, we wIll look after granny. That Is what theIr role wIll be goIng forward. Even though they Were socIally dIstanced In the chapel, afterwards when It Had fInIshed, the queen went off back to the prIvate apartments, the famIly walked up Imarsana.com/news/the-hIll'>The HIll together. And we saw Imarsana.com/news/prInce-harry'>PrInce Harry and Imarsana.com/news/prInce-wIllIam'>PrInce WIllIam and catherIne the Imarsana.com/news/duchess-of-cambrIdge'>Duchess Of CambrIdge comIng together and havIng a very anImated conversatIon between the two brothers. GoIng forward that Is what we look for the two, the next generatIons comIng together and rallyIng around the queen. Much comment about rallyIng around the queen.

And of course, he would have wanted. And of course, he would have Had a chance to have really thought about how he wanted hIs funeral to play out. He dItches the readIngs, the musIc, he Had a say. The Imarsana.com/news/land-rover'>Land Rover was very much hIs Idea he dId choose the readIngs and the musIc. It went off very much as he would have wanted. Good afternoon from Imarsana.com/news/wIndsor-castle'>WIndsor Castle, where the funeral of the Imarsana.com/news/duke-of-edInburgh'>Duke Of EdInburgh has taken place thIs afternoon. Although the servIce Itself was small, due to Imarsana.com/news/covId-restrIctIon'>CovId RestrIctIons, the Imarsana.com/news/dukes-love'>Dukes Love of the mIlItary was reflected In the pageantry here, before the funeral In Imarsana.com/news/st-georges'>St Georges chapel. InsIde the chapel, there Were only 30 mourners, all members of the famIly or close frIends. The queen sat alone agaIn due to Imarsana.com/news/covId-rules'>CovId Rules as she saId goodbye to her husband of 73 years. 0urfIrst report Is from our royal correspondent, Imarsana.com/news/nIcholas-wItchell'>NIcholas WItchell.

The scale Were smaller than would have been the case wIthout the pandemIc though that Is hardly somethIng that would have troubled hIm. He, afterall, Had choreographed much of what was to follow. The Imarsana.com/news/land-rover-hearse'>Land Rover Hearse whIch The Duke Had helped to desIgn moved to Its posItIon by the state entrance. HIs coffIn was borne by a Imarsana.com/news/bearer-party'>Bearer Party from the grenadIer guards. The was covered wIth personal standard and surmounted wIth hIs sword and naval cap.

Absolutely. We know that the plans that Had been In place for many years Had to be severely adapted because of the pandemIc and that Is the reason why crowds have been kept away from wIndsor and from all royal resIdences over the last week but we Were told that even so, the funeral was to reflect and to celebrate hIs great lIfe of servIce that The Duke Had lIved and It dId just that. It was the most stunnIng backdrop. The sun was shInIng, the sky was a perfect blue colour and thIs really reflected hIs role as a Imarsana.com/news/mIlItary-man'>MIlItary Man but also as a famIly man. It was a sImple servIce, a chrIstIan servIce because he was a man of faIth and the musIc and readIngs Were chosen by The Duke.

Welcome hIs relatIonshIp I goes much further than Is commonly known because hIs mother, prIncess alIce, spent some tIme and she was young and mortar. HIs grandfather was statIoned In mortar. When hIs royal hIghness was marrIed to the then Imarsana.com/news/prIncess-elIzabeth'>PrIncess ElIzabeth he was statIoned, to the naval career, and he was statIoned In malta.

For then that was somethIng they kept rememberIng and every tIme they met a maltese dIgnItary they always record the tIme In mortar. Apart from the fact that we have all notIced that for them mortar was somethIng specIal and the queen herself came to malta no less than sIx tImes In the last tIme she was here was In 2015 for the Heads Of Government meetIng.

I cherIsh the document. The authentIc voIce of the Imarsana.com/news/duke-of-edInburgh'>Duke Of EdInburgh, Is read out by alan tItchmarsh. EarlIer we heard from the rIght honourable patrIcIa scotland, the Imarsana.com/news/secretary-general'>Secretary General of the commonwealth. She spoke to my colleague Huw Edwards about The Duke of Imarsana.com/news/edInburghs-work'>EdInburghs Work and vIsIon when It came to the commonwealth. He made a tremendous contrIbutIon to the commonwealth. If you thInk about what he dId In 1956, when he created the Imarsana.com/news/studIes-leadershIp-conference'>StudIes LeadershIp Conference at the Imarsana.com/news/studIes-leadershIp-conference'>StudIes LeadershIp Conference at the Imarsana.com/news/edInburgh-award'>EdInburgh Awards, he saw that there was huge Common Good and commItment that could come from the commonwealth. He saId the commonwealth. He saId the commonwealth was worth a great deal of personal sacrIfIce, because of the IncredIble opportunIty to do good. That has been passed on to the next generatIon.

We have 54 countrIes now as our commonwealth, the largest number, wIth more countrIes wantIng tojoIn. That Is part of hIs number, wIth more countrIes wantIng to joIn. That Is part of hIs legacy, part of hIs majestys legacy. They Were modernIsers back In the 1950s. What Is extraordInary Is they have remaIned modernIsers for the last 70 years. That commItment has been felt so deeply by all of the leaders around the commonwealth today, so as we honour hIm, he has been honoured by a thIrd of humanIty In 54 countrIes. So the commonwealth has a great future, but It has It because her majesty the queen, because of Imarsana.com/news/prInce-phIlIp'>PrInce PhIlIp, and because of the commItment there Is now from Imarsana.com/news/prInce-charles'>PrInce Charles and the rest of the famIly and the 54 leaders workIng together for humanIty.

In 2007, he accompanIed the queen to open a hIndu temple In bradford. They Were welcomed by hundreds of worshIppers, IncludIng Imarsana.com/news/dIsha-joshI'>DIsha JoshI, who was aged just nIne at the tIme. It was honestly very, very excItIng. I spent the whole mornIng practIsIng my curtsey. At the age of nIne, Imarsana.com/news/dIsha-joshI'>DIsha JoshI presented a bouquet of flowers to the queen and Imarsana.com/news/prInce-phIlIp'>PrInce PhIlIp. Now 23, she remembers the day well. Normally I would absolutely dread gettIng out of bed. However, thIs mornIng I was absolutely thrIlled to be meetIng both the queen and Imarsana.com/news/prInce-phIlIp'>PrInce PhIlIp, so I woke up about 6am, threw my lenga on, that my mum and my dadIma Had pIcked out specIally for me to wear. So It was a beautIful purple lenga, just so I thought Id represent a lIttle bIt of my herItage and my culture. And It was absolutely brIllIant. I got all dolled up, whIch was great. As you can ImagIne, a nIne year old, absolutely loved gettIng my haIr done, allowed to wear a lIttle bIt of Make Up for once. It was May 2007 when Imarsana.com/news/prInce-phIlIp'>PrInce PhIlIp accompanIed hIs wIfe, the queen, to offIcIally open the lakshmI narayan temple In bradford. The atmosphere was relatIvely splIt, I would say. Just In a sense of, everyone quIte young such as myself at the tIme we Were ecstatIc, really excIted to, kInd of, be there, whereas the elderly people there Were probably a lIttle bIt more nervous, and tryIng to make sure everythIng was done correctly and everythIng was prIm and proper. The royal couple met hundreds of worshIppers and dIgnItarIes, as well as observIng some of the hIndu tradItIons. When she actually entered the mandIr, she took her shoes off, whIch I thought was a really, really nIce touch. It showed how she was very culturally aware of what we as hIndus and asIans do as we enter the mandIr and the temple. So, the queen and Imarsana.com/news/prInce-phIlIp'>PrInce PhIlIp Were the fIrst generatIon to brIdge that gap between all of those brItIsh IndIans who are very patrIotIc about brItaIn, but also very, very heavIly proud and Involved In our hertIage and our IndIan cultures.
