Queen Elizabeth II today (April 17, 2021) bid farewell to her late husband, Prince Philip, at a royal funeral like no other, restricted by coronavirus rules but reflecting his long life of military and public service, according to the Newsmax website.
The Duke of Edinburgh, who died on April 9 at the age of 99, was interred in the Royal Vault at St. George's Chapel at Windsor Castle after a 50-minute service attended by just 30 guests.
The Queen, 94, was dressed in mourning black, with a white-trimmed, black face mask. Close family, also masked, sat socially-distanced in the historic 15th century Gothic chapel.
Philip -- described by royals as "the grandfather of the nation" -- was Britain's longest-serving royal consort and was married to the Queen for 73 years.
