Boris Johnson will not attend the Duke of Edinburgh s funeral to allow for the attendance of as many family members as possible during coronavirus restrictions, No 10 has said.
The Prime Minister was understood to have been expected to attend the ceremony but offered to step aside with the number of guests allowed limited to 30.
The Duke s funeral will take place in Windsor Castle on April 17, but it will be unlike typical royal send-offs, with the public being told to stay away because of the pandemic.
