Queen's coffin wreath includes note from Charles and touching tribute to Prince Philip

The Queen will be buried at Windsor with a funeral wreath which includes a touching connection to her husband of 73 years, Prince Philip.

The monarch’s funeral has taken place today following her death on September 8 at the age of 96, with millions of mourners watching the service as it is televised live. Those observing the funeral proceedings will see that a colourful wreath of flowers sits on top of Her Majesty’s coffin, along with the Royal Standard flag and the Queen’s crown, orb and sceptre.

The wreath has been made completely sustainable upon King Charles ’ request. It includes myrtle flowers grown from a sprig of the Queen’s wedding bouquet when she married Prince Philip in 1947, The Mirror reports .
