Queen Elizabeth II mourned the loss of her husband, the late Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, with the rest of the British royal family on Saturday.
Philip died April 9 at the age of 99.
The funeral did not include a eulogy or sermon, which is meant to reflect his ties to the military, Buckingham Palace said. The Dean of Windsor conducted the funeral service while the Archbishop of Canterbury would be doing the blessing.

The casket was taken from the state entrance of Windsor Castle, and it was then placed onto a specialized Land Rover, which Philip helped design before his death. It was delivered to St. George’s Chapel, and a number of family members followed the hearse-Rover crossover. The queen was seen sitting alone, wearing all black, as pallbearers brought the coffin into St. George’s Chapel.

Philip left active military service in 1952 when Elizabeth ascended to the throne. He was named prince by his wife five years later. The couple had been together for over 70 years.
His final resting place will be in the royal vault.

Was there really no room in St George’s Chapel for Lady Susan Hussey, The Queen’s Lady-in-Waiting, so Her Majesty didn’t have to sit alone?
