The spokesperson further said that Prince Philip will be given a ceremonial royal funeral, not a state funeral and with no public processions. The funeral will be held with 30 mourners. "The occasion will still celebrate and recognise the Duke's life and his more than 70 years of service to the queen, the UK and the Commonwealth," a palace spokesman said.
