Queen Elizabeth II and members of the British royal family on Saturday bid farewell to her late husband, Prince Philip.
He was interred at the Royal Vault at St George’s Chapel at Windsor Castle at a 50 minutes service attendant by 30 guests, due to coronavirus restrictions.
Government restrictions limited number of mourners, hence the public was noticeably absent from Saturday’s ceremony.
The funeral reflected his long life of military and public service.
Prince Philip, the Duke of Edinburgh, died on April 9 at age 99.
The Queen, 94, seen for the first time since her husband’s death, was dressed in mourning black, with a white-trimmed, black face mask. Close family, also masked, sat socially distanced in the historic 15th-century Gothic chapel.
Described by member of the British royal family as “the grandfather of the nation”, Prince Philip was Britain’s longest-serving royal consort and was married to the Queen for 73 years.
He was an almost constant presence at her side during her record-breaking reign that began in 1952 as Britain rebuilt from World War II, and as its global empire began to unravel.
The last high-profile funeral of a senior royal was for the Queen’s mother, aged 101, who died in 2002.
