A gun salute to mark the death of Prince Philip has begun taking place in Scotland’s capital.
The Duke of Edinburgh passed away at Windsor Castle on Friday aged 99 after 73 years of marriage to the Queen.
The 105th Regiment Royal Artillery will fire one round at the start of each minute for 40 minutes from Edinburgh Castle as part of the day of remembrance.
A small crowd of mourners gathered to watch the tribute in the capital on Saturday afternoon despite warnings for people to stay away.
Members of the public were instead urged to observe the salute to his Royal Highness on television.
Armed forces personnel will also fire 41 rounds in cities including London, Cardiff and at Hillsborough Castle in County Down at midday.
Royal Navy ships at sea, including HMS Diamond and HMS Montrose, are also set to salute the duke, who served as a naval officer during World War Two.
His Highness also held the office of Lord High Admiral.
Details of the duke's funeral, due to take place at St George's Chapel, are also expected to be released this weekend - but the ongoing lockdown will affect plans.
Philip, famously described by the Queen as her "constant strength and guide", was known to have wanted a minimum of fuss at his funeral.
Buckingham Palace said: "During the coronavirus pandemic, and in light of current Government advice and social distancing guidelines, modified funeral and ceremonial arrangements for His Royal Highness the Duke of Edinburgh are being considered by Her Majesty The Queen.
"Details will be confirmed in due course."
