Prince Philip's Funeral: Tearful Moments as Queen Elizabeth Sits Alone and William and Harry Come Together

Queen Elizabeth mourned her husband Prince Philip on Saturday, sitting alone in the pews of St. George's Chapel.

The arresting image, a poignant coda to the couple's remarkable 73-year marriage, was one of many heartbreaking moments throughout the funeral of Prince Philip, who died at age 99 on April 9.

Following the close of the hour-long ceremony — which was striking for both its military precision and heartfelt emotion — Prince William and Prince Harry, who were reunited at the funeral for the first time in more than a year, could be seen walking and talking together.

Along with the Queen's solitary spotlight, there were small moments of sorrow, too: Before the ceremony began, Philip's cap and gloves had been placed on his carriage on the grounds of Windsor Castle, a touching tribute to one of his beloved passions in life. A small red pot that could be seen on the carriage had been long used by Philip to hold the sugar lumps he fed his horses after carriage driving.

Numerous military-led tributes also gave the day a personal gravitas, from the saluting guards to the trumpeters to Philip's Naval cap and sword atop his flag-draped casket. Philip, who was titled the Duke of Edinburgh, proudly served in the Royal Navy during WWII.

Philip's custom Land Rover hearse hit another emotional chord, with its military-green color and specially designed touches by the Duke himself.

"The Duke of Edinburgh was closely involved in the planning of his own funeral. As a result, tomorrow's ceremony will involve a number of unique touches which reflect his life and work," a statement read on the royal family's official Instagram page on Friday. "Many of the moments choreographed by The Duke demonstrate his lifelong commitment to the Armed Forces."

Philip chose much of the stirring music for the day, including the hymn "Eternal Father, Strong to Save" by William Whiting, which was written in 1860 and is also known as "For Those in Peril on the Sea" or the Royal Navy Hymn.

But it was the royal family's heartfelt grief that most reverberated throughout the historic chapel. At one point, a visibly distraught Sophie, Countess of Wessex — who was seated alongside her husband, Prince Edward (Philip's youngest son) and their children Lady Louise and James, Viscount Severn — removed her mask to wipe her tears.

During the first procession, Philip's eldest son — and the Queen's direct heir — Prince Charles followed directly behind his father's coffin. Next to Charles was his sister Princess Anne, the Queen and Philip's second eldest child and only daughter.

Their younger brother, Prince Andrew and Prince Edward, made up the second line in the procession. They were followed by three of Prince Philip's grandsons: William, Peter Phillips (Princess Anne's son) and Harry.

At the conclusion of the service, the Duke of Edinburgh's coffin was lowered into the Royal Vault and the National Anthem was sung by the choir.

With the service has finished and the royal family departed from the chapel, everything now becomes private.

"There is a desire for some privacy," a Buckingham Palace spokesperson said.
