The Queen cut a lonely figure at Windsor Castle on Saturday as she said her final goodbye to her husband of 73 years. The Duke of Edinburgh’s funeral in St George’s Chapel was being held in accordance with coronavirus restrictions, meaning only 30 family members and close friends were allowed, and they had to practise social distancing.
