The Queen will lead a small group of close family and friends at the service for her husband of 73 years. Covid regulations have reduced the scope of the service with public elements cancelled, mourners reduced from around 800 to just 30 and all guests wearing face masks and sitting apart. The service will start at 3pm, when the nation will observe a minute of silence. Here are the latest updates: 2.50pm
