Military bands and musicians, and a choir of just four, provided the very personal soundtrack to the Duke of Edinburgh’s funeral service.
The duke was said to be the guiding force behind many of the musical choices – played both before and during the service – and picked a wide range of music from Johann Sebastian Bach to Ralph Vaughan Williams.
Many of the arrangements had strong Naval and royal connotations, and were personally requested by Philip.
Ahead of Saturday’s service, armed forces musicians assembled in Windsor and played a range of music as they moved into position in the quadrangle in the grounds of Windsor Castle.
