In keeping with his no-fuss, no-nonsense approach to life, the Duke of Edinburgh s funeral today will be a muted affair by royal standards but will showcase his military roots and influence on the British monarchy.
The ceremony will take place in St George s Chapel in the grounds of Windsor Castle and Channel 9 will have special coverage from 10pm AEST.

Nadiya Bakes, hit Netflix in February) and publishing several popular cookbooks transformed reality show stardom into lasting success, a fact the mother of three told POPSUGAR she sometimes still struggles to embrace.
