The Queen will say a private farewell to Prince Philip before his coffin leaves Windsor Castle for today's funeral. The monarch, 94, will take a moment to reflect at the duke's side ahead of his final journey to St George's Chapel.

Sources say she has been the 'epitome of dignity' this week as she deals with the loss of her husband of 73 years, and has insisted on personally signing off final preparations for the 3pm service.
