Prince Philip’s Service of Thanksgiving will be personal tribute from the Queen to her husband
Sky News says a service of Thanksgiving for the Duke of Edinburgh will be a personal tribute from the Queen to her husband after she insisted on being actively involved in elements of the event.
The Queen plans to attend the service at Westminster Abbey which will celebrate Prince Philip’s “dedication to family, Nation, and Commonwealth and recognise the importance of his legacy in creating opportunities for young people, promoting environmental stewardship and conservation, and supporting the Armed Forces”.
The Abbey is where the couple got married, where he pledged to be “her liege man of life and limb” at her Coronation, and was due to be the original venue for his funeral which was instead held in Windsor due to COVID.
