The first photos of the Duke of Edinburgh's funeral service show members of the royal family arriving at Windsor Castle on Saturday.

Kate Middleton and the Duchess of Cornwall were among the first to arrive at the castle grounds ahead of the funeral service. Both wore black mourning clothes and face coverings.

Prince Philip died "peacefully" at Windsor Castle on Friday, April 9, the palace said in a statement at the time. The duke was 99.

Only 30 guests are permitted to attend the ceremony at St George's Chapel, in the grounds of Windsor Castle, due to the UK's COVID-19 restrictions.

Prince Philip's coffin was moved from the castle's quadrangle, down Chapel Hill and into Horseshoe Cloister in a purpose-built Land Rover, which he helped design.

The duke's children, Princess Anne, Prince Charles, Prince Edward, and Prince Andrew, walked behind the coffin, followed by Prince Harry, Peter Phillips, Prince William, Vice Admiral Tim Lawrence, and the Earl of Snowdon.

Buckingham Palace has said that while the funeral has been modified to take public health guidelines into account, the ceremonial aspect of the service is "in line with the Duke's wishes and will reflect His Royal Highness's personal and military affiliations."

During the service, a small choir of four singers will perform music selected by Prince Philip. They will be located at a distance from the congregation to comply with public health guidelines.
