The Queen stands alone during service
Her Majesty followed her husband’s coffin in her official Bentley as her lady-in-waiting joined her on the journey.
However, due to Covid regulations, the Queen sat alone during the service.
Prince Charles and Princess Anne led the procession followed by Prince Andrew and Prince Edward.
Meanwhile, Prince William and Prince Harry joined behind – being separated by Anne’s son Peter Phillips.
The Duke of Edinburgh’s coffin was draped with his personal standard along with his sword, naval cap and a wreath of flowers.
The coffin was taken to St George’s Chapel on a specially designed Land Rover, which Philip designed himself.
