Prince Philip funeral

The Duke of Edinburgh's coffin will be carried from the state entrance of Windsor Castle.

Members of The Queen's Company, 1st Battalion Grenadier Guards will place the coffin on a specially modified Land Rover designed by Prince Philip himself.

A lifelong fan of Land Rover, the duke spent 16 years on the project and made changes including requesting a repaint in military green.

The vehicle would originally have transported his coffin 22 miles from Wellington Arch in central London to Windsor, but the pandemic has curtailed plans for military parades.

The procession will set off, led by the heads of the Armed Forces and other senior military figures.

Members of the Royal Family including Prince Charles, Princess Anne and Princes William and Harry will follow on foot immediately behind the coffin - and be joined by staff from Philip's household.

William and Harry will not walk side by side for the procession, instead separated by their cousin Peter Phillips.

Meanwhile, guns will be fired each minute from the east lawn of the castle by the King's Troop Royal Horse Artillery, and the Curfew Tower Bell will toll.
