Prince Philip will not have a state funeral, instead he will lie in state at Windsor Castle.
It has been announced the Duke of Edinburgh will lie at rest in the Queen's residence ahead of his funeral in St George's Chapel.
In a statement on the College of Arms website, responsible for state ceremonies in the UK, it was announced that flags across the country would also be flown at half-mast.
The flags will be flown from today until 8am on the day of the funeral.
It has not been announced when the funeral will take place.
The Queen and her children and grandchildren will enter a period of mourning for their patriarch, which could last several weeks.
The statement read: "The funeral will not be a State Funeral and will not be preceded by a Lying-in-State.
"His Royal Highness’s body will lie at rest in Windsor Castle ahead of the funeral in St George’s Chapel. This is in line with custom and with His Royal Highness’s wishes.
"The funeral arrangements have been revised in view of the prevailing circumstances arising from the COVID-19 pandemic and it is regretfully requested that members of the public do not attempt to attend or participate in any of the events that make up the funeral.
"All official flags, including the Union Flag, will be flown at half-mast from now until 08:00 on the day following the funeral.
"Flags may be flown overnight during this period but should remain at half-mast. Official flags in this instance are defined as Union Flags, the national flags of the home nations, ensigns and ships’ colours."
