The Duke of Edinburgh’s funeral will be family affair attended by close relatives, with the guest list limited to just 30 because of coronavirus restrictions.
The Queen and Philip’s children and grandchildren will gather to pay their respects to the much loved royal patriarch, who died on Friday at the age of 99.

Prime Minister Boris Johnson will not be present to allow for as many family members as possible to be there amid the Covid-19 rules, Downing Street said.
The duke’s long-standing close aide, his private secretary Brigadier Archie Miller Bakewell, will be one of the few, and possibly only, non-royals invited to attend the historic occasion inside St George’s Chapel, Windsor Castle on Saturday.
