A remembrance service for the departed Duke of Edinburgh, Prince Philip will be held in Canterbury Cathedral this morning as the UK observes a period of eight days of national official mourning.
The service will be led by the Archbishop of Canterbury, Justin Welby, who is also expected to lead Prince Philip’s funeral next Saturday.
The period of national mourning will end after 17 April, when Prince Philip’s funeral will take place at St George’s Chapel at Windsor Castle.
A national minute’s silence will be held to coincide with the start of the funeral at 15:00 BST.
