Prince Philip's funeral live updates: Queen's touching final goodbye to Philip, William and Harry reunite

One candid photo captured at Prince Philip's funeral may show the Queen doing something she's rarely seen doing in public. 

Prince Philip farewelled in sombre funeral service

William and Harry came together at Prince Philip's funeral as the royal family gathered to pay their final respects to the Duke of Edinburgh in Windsor.

The brothers did not walk shoulder to shoulder in the procession behind the coffin, but were separated by cousin Peter Phillips as they walked in a line with other senior royals behind their grandfather’s coffin. They sat on opposite sides of the chapel for the service, but stood side-by-side afterwards and walked together with Kate, who wore a necklace in a touching tribute to Diana.

All mourners dressed in black morning coats or day dress, a decision made by the Queen to avoid awkward scenes with Prince Andrew and Prince Harry also unable to wear military uniform. 

Pregnant Meghan, watching at home from California on a special live feed, left a handwritten note in tribute. The monarch cut a lonely figure as she sat alone at St George’s Chapel by a Land Rover designed to his specifications, after the Duke decided how his funeral would be held.
