Prince Philip funeral: Queen Elizabeth stands alone, Prince William and Harry talk for first time in public

Queen Elizabeth, dressed in black and a white trimmed black mask, stood alone as her husband of 73 years was lowered into the Royal Vault in a service attended by senior royals including heir Prince Charles and his sons Princes William and Harry.

The queen was placed alone in the ceremony at St George's Chapel with her children, grandchildren and a select group of royal mourners, separated due to COVID-19 rules.

Prince Philip began his final journey on Saturday, his coffin borne on a specially modified Land Rover hearse, followed on foot by a procession of senior royals including Prince Charles and Princes William and Harry.

Queen Elizabeth followed the procession in the State Bentley as the coffin, carried on the bespoke Defender TD 130 in military green, made its way to Philip's funeral service at St George's Chapel in Windsor Castle.

Charles and Princess Anne followed the coffin on foot, followed by their brothers Edward and Andrew. Behind them were Charles's two sons William and Harry - evoking memories of the 1997 funeral of Diana when they walked as grieving boys behind their mother's coffin.

Only 30 mourners will be able to attend the funeral of Britain's Prince Philip on Saturday because of restrictions in England to stop the spread of COVID-19. Here is a list of those who will be in the congregation of St George's Chapel at Windsor Castle for the ceremonial royal funeral service for Philip.

- Once the royal family have been seated in St George's Chapel, the choir will sing the Sentences before the Dean of Windsor, David Conner, gives the Bidding.

"We are here today in St George's Chapel to commit into the hands of God the soul of his servant Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh. With grateful hearts, we remember the many ways in which his long life has been a blessing to us.
"We have been inspired by his unwavering loyalty to our Queen, by his service to the Nation and the Commonwealth, by his courage, fortitude and faith. Our lives have been enriched through the challenges that he has set us, the encouragement that he has given us, his kindness, humour and humanity.
"We, therefore, pray that God will give us the grace to follow his example, and that, with our brother Philip, at the last, we shall know the joys of life eternal."

- A small choir of four will sing the naval hymn "Eternal Father, Strong to Save", with the line "For those in peril on the sea" reflecting Philip`s ties to the navy.

- The "Last Post" by buglers of the Royal Marines and the naval battle cry "Action Stations" will then echo around the chapel.

- The archbishop will pronounce the blessing before the National Anthem is played.
