Hundreds of people including nearly 30 foreign royals and scores of representatives from Philip’s charities are gathering for the special thanksgiving service in honour of the country’s longest serving consort.
It is a poignant occasion for the Queen to remember her husband of 73 years among family and friends, after the limitations imposed on the duke’s funeral during the pandemic.
Members of the Royal Family, more than 30 foreign royals, Philip's wider family and friends, and 500 representatives from his patronages and charities will gather in Westminster Abbey on Tuesday.
The Duke of York is taking centre stage at the Duke of Edinburgh’s memorial as he accompanies the Queen to the poignant occasion.
Andrew is travelling with his mother by car from Windsor Castle to Westminster Abbey.
The decision comes despite Andrew paying millions out of court earlier this month to settle a civil sexual assault case.
