In Pictures: Windsor remembers Duke of Edinburgh on day of his funeral

Windsor was centre stage as the nation said goodbye to the Duke of Edinburgh on the day of his funeral.

St George’s Chapel in Windsor Castle was decorated with Philip’s insignia reflecting his many roles in public life and his connections with many nations, and his coffin was brought there in a customised Land Rover he helped design.

The Queen, who was married to Philip for 73 years, wore a face mask as she led 30 mourners under limits required by current coronavirus laws.
