The Queen sits alone at Prince Philip’s funeral as she farewells her husband of 73 years
A stoic Queen Elizabeth II sat alone in St George’s Chapel at Windsor as she farewelled her husband, the Duke of Edinburgh, who died last week aged 99.
In doing so, she experienced the heartache of millions around the world who’ve been kept apart from loved ones at times of great personal grief, due to COVID-19.
The Queen, dressed in black and wearing a black hat and face mask, sat quietly during the service with her head bowed.
