The Duke of Edinburgh has been laid to rest in an intimate funeral at St George's Chapel. The Dean of Windsor paid tribute to Prince Philip's "unwavering loyalty to the Queen" and "service to the nation".

The congregation wore masks and was socially distanced in line with Covid rules, with the Queen seated alone. Ahead of the service, the duke's children walked behind his coffin in a funeral procession and there was a national minute's silence.

His coffin was carried the short distance to St George's Chapel on a modified Land Rover, which the duke himself helped to design. Princess Anne and Prince Charles made up the front row behind the vehicle, followed by Prince Edward and Prince Andrew.

In the third row, Prince William and Prince Harry walked either side of their cousin Peter Phillips.

More than 730 members of the armed forces took part in the event, but there was a limit of 30 mourners inside St George's Chapel, under coronavirus rules. Prince Philip died at Windsor Castle on Friday 9 April, aged 99.

The funeral procession from the castle to the chapel was headed by the Band of the Grenadier Guards, the Major General's party, and military service chiefs.

Vice Admiral Sir Timothy Laurence and the Earl of Snowdon also walked behind the coffin, trailed by members of the duke's household staff.

The Queen, 94, travelled with a lady-in-waiting in the state Bentley at the end of the procession.
