Prince Phillip's funeral is to take place at St George’s Chapel in Windsor Castle this Saturday and will be an 'intimate service.'
Before his passing, the Duke of Edinburgh reportedly specified that he didn't want “much fuss” surrounding his death, with his funeral expected to be a low-key occasion.
With the ongoing coronavirus restrictions in place, public mourners are being encouraged to watch the funeral on TV rather than gathering in crowds on the street.
Current Covid-19 measures in England mean that only 30 mourners are allowed to attend, with many of the wider Royal Family to watch the funeral on a live stream.
