The Queen wiped away tears and was forced to mourn alone away from her family in St George's Chapel during Prince Philip's Covid-hit Windsor Castle funeral today as she said an emotional final goodbye to her 'strength and stay' after their extraordinary 73-year life together.
Her Majesty looked grief-stricken and bowed her head in reverence as she accompanied her beloved husband's coffin on its final journey while their eldest son Prince Charles cried as he walked behind the casket into church followed by other devastated royals.
The Duke of Edinburgh's coffin was covered in his personal standard and carried his sword, naval cap and a wreath of flowers with a handwritten note from his wife as pallbearers placed him on to his extraordinary self-designed green Land Rover Defender hearse in the castle's quadrangle packed with hundreds of armed personnel.

As opposed to a dictator for life, like Idi Amin, or more recently, Xi Jin Ping?
There is a BIG difference between an absolute monarchy and a CONSTITUTIONAL monarchy. In case you weren’t aware, the UK is the latter.
Seems that way to me too.
Your words are shameful and offensive!
Why are there still kings and queens in this world?
Most of the UKers love their royalty.
The other UKers love hating their royalty.
I stand corrected. Thanks.
Thank you.
Prime Ministers are not voted on directly. If that were the case, Churchill would have wiped the floor with Atlee in 1945, but it’s the majority Party in Parliament that chooses the PM.
I'm with you on that, FRiend. Vivid evidence of how so many families have not been allowed to grieve properly during the last year.
The petty dictators love to talk up their body count but then refuse to allow the families to grieve. Well, unless you're a BLM celeb . . .
It was a Land Rover.
Sitting in the church, all alone, wearing two masks.
If this is not the EPITOME of the idiocy, and sadness, of this SCAM-Dem-ic, I don’t know what is.
Truly unbelievable.
Very disturbing.
Prince Philip got the Queen angry at him years ago and she said to him that she would get even with him one day.
Fast forward and Prince Philip was buried under a compact parking spot of a parking lot next to that other King from long ago and the Queen personally parked the Land Rover truck on top of him...
True story. You can read about in the British papers : )
That is cruel.
Only if he’s a Christian.
From what I read he was very much a Christian. And people other than christians do live.
‘such a form of government’? The flaw in your rhetoric is the apparent belief that the British monarch still ‘governs’. The monarchy hasn’t governed for a good few centuries now. Parliament, not the Head of State, is sovereign.
Tradition is important in any society, and that’s theirs. The Brits love their monarchy so let them have it. It’s not our business.
And at this point in time, seeing who’s in the White House, our method might not be any better.
Not when they’ve heard about Christ.
I’m okay with his being a Christian if he was. However, there are no grandchildren in Christianity.
Plenty of future heirs available. William will be a great king. Hopefully, Charles will hand the throne to William.
Hopefully, Charles will hand the throne to William.>>>>>>>
I wish that were true.
If not the Royals will have some Rocky Times ahead, Charles is a Royal village idiot.
