The Duke of Edinburgh was closely involved in the planning of his own Funeral. As a result, it will involve a number of unique touches which reflect his life and work.
Many of the moments choreographed by The Duke demonstrate his lifelong commitment to the Armed Forces.

His Royal Highness’s coffin will be carried by both the Grenadier Guards and the Royal Marines during tomorrow’s ceremony.
The Duke’s association with the Royal Marines lasted for his entire Royal working life. He was made Captain General in 1953, and his final official engagement ahead of his retirement was a Royal Marines parade at Buckingham Palace.

This #CharityTuesday, to mark #InternationalNursesDay, we are highlighting the work of @TheQNI and their network of community nurses, health visitors and midwives.

Since the COVID-19 outbreak, district nurses have been instrumental in helping those in need at home.
🌡 Over recent weeks, nurses have been redeployed from their normal roles to work in the community.

@TheQNI has set-up an online Coronavirus Information Centre to help this transition, with “rapid training plans” for those who are working in home settings for the first time.
The Queen succeeded Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother as Patron of @TheQNI in 2002. In 2019, @TheQNI was recognised as the oldest nursing charity in the world.

The Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother Award is still given to community nurses who provide exceptional care.

🔍You may have noticed The Queen’s ATS cap on her desk during Her Majesty’s VE Day address this evening.

#DidYouKnow The Queen is the only living Head of State to have served in the Second World War?
🔧 The Queen, then Princess Elizabeth, joined the Auxiliary Territorial Service (ATS) in 1945 at the age of 18, and trained as a driver and mechanic.

The Queen is the first and only female member of the Royal Family to join the Armed Services as a full-time active member.
The Queen held the rank of Second Subaltern on joining the ATS.

Five months later, she was later promoted to Junior Commander, the equivalent of Captain.

📷 These images shows Princess Elizabeth at the No. 1 Mechanical Training Centre of the ATS, in Camberley, Surrey.
