The Duke's funeral will not be a state funeral and the public will not be allowed to attend. The late royal will lie in rest at Windsor Castle, in line with his wishes, before a ceremony at St George’s Chapel.

Prince William and his wife, The Duchess of Cambridge, paid tribute to Philip shortly after the sad news was made public.

William's brother Prince Harry and his wife Meghan Markle also paid a touching tribute to the Duke on their Archewell website.

As is tradition, a sign was hung on the gates of Buckingham Palace, to announce the sad news of the Duke's passing. Due to coronavirus restrictions, it was only present for a short amount of time, to prevent crowds from gathering.
