The Prince and Princess of Wales have thanked the unsung heroes who helped stage Queen Elizabeth's funeral in Windsor, telling them their "seamless" operation had made it an "extraordinary" experience for the Royal Family and the public.
William and Kate arranged to meet dozens of those responsible for the major public operation in Windsor, from the man who arranged the portable toilets to the people moving the flowers and organising the bin collections.
Giving their personal thanks for the 24-hour-a-day operations that ran between the late Queen's death and the end of her funeral, they said they were deeply grateful for the efforts of so many.
