At the funeral of Prince Phil, Queen Elizabeth, dressed in black, sat alone in the chapel of St. George. The photo was one of the most moving moments of the funeral ceremony, which marked a shocking moment for the 73-year marriage of the Queen and Prince Philip, who passed away at the age of 99 on April 9th. The queen stayed only because of anti-Covid measures.
The Queen placed a handwritten note on the coffin of the Duke of Edinburgh during funeral services. She signed the note with the nickname "Lilibet" - a nickname since childhood. Philip is thought to have been the last person to be addressed by that name.
Before the ceremony began, Philip’s hat and gloves were placed in his carriage as a tribute to one of life’s most beloved passions. A small red pot was seen in the cart, which Prince Philip had long used to hold piles of sugar, with which he fed the horses after horseback riding.
Pas mbylljes së ceremonisë që zgjati 1 orë dhe qenë të pranishëm vetëm 30 vetë për shkak të pandemisë, princi William dhe princi Harry, të cilët u ribashkuan në funeral për herë të parë pas më më shumë se një viti, u panë duke ecur dhe duke folur së bashku.
