The funeral will take place today of the Duke of Edinburgh, husband of Britain’s Queen Elizabeth.
Prince Philip died last week at the age of 99.
Thirty mourners will attend the service that’s being held in Saint George’s Chapel at Windsor Castle in Berkshire this afternoon.
A national minute’s silence will be observed at 3pm just before the service begins.
His coffin will be placed on a modified Land Rover that the duke himself helped to design, and carried in a procession to the chapel.
Buckingham Palace said the funeral plans had been modified to take into account public health guidelines.
Mourners were reduced from around 800 to just 30, and all guests wearing face masks and sitting apart.
The funeral will take place entirely within the grounds of the castle and the public have been asked not to gather there or at other royal residences.
Prince Philip and Queen Elizabeth were married for 73 years.
