Funeral details

No official funeral details have been released by Buckingham Palace yet, however, the Duke's body is expected to be taken to the Chapel Royal at St James's Palace in London, where it will likely lie until the day of the funeral. From there it will be taken by road to Windsor Castle.

Around 800 mourners are expected to be invited to the funeral, drawn from the Duke's military units, the charities of which he was Patron, and people associated with the Duke of Edinburgh's Award scheme.

They will be given access to the Chapel Royal to pay their last respects, but it will not be open to the general public.

The Queen Mother was interred in St George's Chapel, Windsor Castle, next to her husband George VI and the Queen's sister, Princess Margaret, and the chapel is expected to become the final resting place of the Duke.
