Tears shed for Prince Philip as royal family celebrate his life in emotional memorial service

Members of the royal family have said an emotional farewell to the Duke of Edinburgh almost a year after his death. Prince Philip died in April last year, in the middle of the covid pandemic.

Coronavirus restrictions meant his funeral was limited to 30 guests. It even saw the Queen sitting alone as she followed the same rules as the rest of the country.

On Tuesday however it was a different picture when a Service of Thanksgiving was held at Westminster Abbey to celebrate a "long life lived fully". A total of 1,800 people gathered at the London venue for the occasion.
