We still don’t know precisely what it will look like, but of one thing we can be quite certain: He will have hugely enjoyed making it.
Having spent most of his life breaking the royal mould, the Duke of Edinburgh will do so again one last time this Saturday when he goes to meet his Maker on the back of a Land Rover.
What’s more, this will be a Land Rover specially converted for funereal use, according to the duke’s very own instructions.
It will be a glorious parting gesture from a man who spent so much of his life encouraging innovation and good design.
