They will be followed by the Major General's Party, and then the Service Chiefs, reflecting His Royal Highness's close relationship with the military

The Prince of Wales and members of the royal family will take part in the procession on foot, immediately behind the duke's coffin, together with staff from Philip's household

The Duke, who hated “fuss” and took a no-nonsense approach to life, had planned a Royal ceremonial funeral, rather than a State funeral telegraph.co.uk/royal-family/2…

The funeral will be held in St. George's Chapel at Windsor Castle

The Duke’s coffin will be moved in a small ceremonial procession from the state entrance of the castle to St George's Chapel on the morning of the funeral.

It will be draped with the Duke's personal standard

The funeral will begin with a national minute's silence at 3pm as the coffin enters St. George's Chapel.

A specially modified Land Rover which the Duke helped to design will be used to transport his coffin. This will be followed by the Prince of Wales and other senior Royals

Covid means that all public elements of the funeral have been cancelled amid the ongoing pandemic.

A Palace spokesman said: "The plans have been given final approval by the Queen and reflect appropriately Government advice."

Around 800 mourners had been expected to be invited to the funeral.

However the event will now be subject to the current Government guidance around funerals, and so a maximum of 30 people will be allowed to attend

The funeral will be televised, but it will take place entirely in the grounds of the Palace, with no public elements
