Mills says it was also a chance to bring in the prince's friends and staff, who had been dedicated to him"right until the end", as well has representatives from the 700 charities he supported during his lifetime. "But also behind the scenes as the likes of Princess Anne have described, he was always there as a support, as a sounding board and a man who was a great source of advice for them. And that's what the family is here to remember today."The service has finished now, and the Queen is being led out on the arm of Prince Andrew.
Today she is dressed in dark green, likely a tribute to Philip - whose livery colour was Edinburgh Green. The royal worked on a"host of down-to-earth exercises" and lived a life of service, the Dean of Windsor says. Ms Sonibare says she"wasn't completely sold on the idea at first" but"over the years, the award remained a prominent part of my life".
