UK bids farewell to Queen Elizabeth II's late husband, Prince Philip
Minute of silence held before funeral ceremony and burial at St George's Chapel, Windsor Castle
The UK bid farewell on Saturday to Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh and husband of Queen Elizabeth II.
The Queen led the nation in a minute of silence for her late husband ahead of his funeral and burial at St George's Chapel, Windsor Castle.
The 94-year-old monarch was at the chapel with other senior members of the royal family as the coffin carrying the prince arrived on a bespoke Land Rover which he designed himself.
A military gun was fired to signal the start of the solemn tribute, which was observed in shops, railway stations and at sporting events across the country.
The ceremony, with just 30 mourners took place entirely behind the castle's stately walls, with the public urged to stay away because of the pandemic.
Philip, who died on April 9 aged 99, was interred after a 50-minute service watched by millions on television.
Small crowds still gathered in Windsor town center, and on the sweeping Long Walk to the castle gates, behind barriers patrolled by uniformed police.
The Duke of Edinburgh -- described by royals as "the grandfather of the nation" -- died just weeks after being released following a month-long stay in hospital for treatment of a heart condition and an infection.
