The ceremony – held at St George's Chapel in Windsor, where previous royal events have included the royal weddings of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle and Princess Eugenie and Jack Brooksbank – began at 3pm on Saturday April 17, which also marked the time when the nation held a minute's silence. Ahead of the service, the Queen's car arrived at the chapel as the national anthem played. JONATHAN BRADYGetty Images Due to ongoing COVID-19 restrictions, 30 people attended the ceremonial funeral, which was not a state funeral, in line with the late Duke's wishes. The Queen, who left Windsor Castle with a Lady-in-Waiting in a Bentley earlier in the afternoon, sat by herself near the altar during the ceremony due to social distancing enforcements. Prince William and Prince Harry sat opposite each other in the chapel.
