The Duke's decision to be driven to his final resting place on the back of a specially converted Land Rover Defender TD5 130 came after a long personal association with the iconic British brand.
He was a keen car enthusiast with a passion for 4x4s and drove Land Rovers throughout his life, awarding the firm his own royal warrant.
He had a close relationship with the company's bosses and repeatedly visited their Solihull HQ after starting the design of the hearse in 2003, when he was aged 82.
He had also previously converted a similar 16-seat gun-bus vehicle, known as ‘The Jumbo’, for use by shooting parties on the royal estates.
In 2016, aged 94, Philip surprised Barack and Michelle Obama when he jumped into the driver's seat of a Range Rover and drove them and the Queen to an engagement at Windsor Castle.
And he was behind the wheel of one of the firm's vehicles when he had an accident aged 97, shortly before he announced he was giving up his driving license.
The royal family have used Land Rovers for decades and the company has produced four state ceremonial vehicles for the Queen.
The first time the Queen used a Land Rover for an official visit was during a six-month tour of Australia in 1954 when she used a specially converted Land Rover, known as State IV, which had a viewing platform on the back allowing her and Philip to stand up and wave to the crowds while being driven.
Delivered into the Royal household in 1953 by a team of engineers, including Arthur Goddard, Land Rover's first engineer, it had a top speed of 51mph, no registration plates and was painted in the royal claret used for all the Queen's state vehicles.
It stayed in royal service for another 20 years before it was replaced with State I, a special-bodied Range Rover, which boasted a 91mph top speed.
The latest Land Rover State Review vehicle, which was delivered in 2015, is a hybrid Range Rover model and can run on purely electric power for low-speed ceremonial duties.
Land Rover now holds three royal warrants from the Queen, the Duke and the Prince of Wales and their households - the only car company alongside Jaguar to hold so many.
Members of the Royal family who have been seen driving Land Rovers include the Queen, Prince Charles, Prince William and Kate, Prince Harry and Prince Andrew.
Zara Tindall, the Queen's eldest granddaughter, became an official Land Rover ambassador in 2006.
