This is part of the Burial Office in the Anglican tradition.
And it was Prince Philip who planned his own funeral and the Queen approved before he died. Couple interesting facts....the Jeep his Coffin was carried in Prince Phillip designed himself....and the Horse and Buggy was there, with his gloves, blanket and cup laying in the seat was because he use to race.
It was truly a perfect funeral service which reflected Prince Phillips taste and what he wanted. I got pretty tearful when they showed all the military with their heads bowed very low and their guns positioned downward...it was very fitting for Price Phillip....a remarkable man who served Britain and the Military well.

I think the most enduring image will be the Queen of England, sitting alone in a pew with a black dress and black facemask ...
He was and saw action in the Royal Navy in the Atlantic, Mediterranean, and the Pacific during WWII. Loved the Naval tradition of him being piped aboard and the Navy Hymn during the service. He loved the RN and the Sea.
To spare you the 4 hour watch:
Everybody is properly masked! Black masks!
I would imagine, they are all vaccinated?!
GB has supposedly one of the highest levels of vaccination on Earth.
I think, I would stop here, or I commit “Lese-Majeste”.
Why does anyone think that God ordained these freaks to rule over people? People as subjects of their royal highnesses, why haven’t we moved past this charade?
I watched it this morning on Sky News after trying cBS and NBC. First thing on both networks were references to MEagain Markle. Sky News didn’t mention her name once.
I cried several times. At the end of the service I completely broke down and was sobbing. Prince Philip was a remarkable man and he has my respect, much more so than I have for many of the clowns that have been President starting with Woodrow Wilson and ending with Biden.
Thanks for posting the link. I admire Queen Elizabeth, she’s served her country with grace and dignity...and still performing her duties at the age of 94! What a sad time for her, losing her husband after 73 years of marriage.
God Save the Queen.
I am sad about the death of Prince Philip. He was a man, who gave up his career aspirations to support his wife in hers. He gave unflinching service to his nation, did not become embroiled in dirt like his son Charles and his grandson Harry, and served his wife with all his heart. We shall not see his like again, not with the lowering of standards in every aspect of life so that the lowest common denominator of people can attain them, instead of striving for excellence.
It was a beautiful day. The grounds were amazing. The military presence was reassuring. The music was beautiful. Even the hearse was cool.
I'm glad that England is still capable of putting on a good ceremony for the proper recognition of a great Englishman.
I know people will scoff at the pageantry (even my mom was envious over the attention that was paid to one man), but it's not really about Prince Phillip or the Royal Family. It's about England and the hope that She will once again return to Her former greatness.
