In honor of Prince Philip, flags are flying at half-mast at Buckingham Palace, the Houses of Parliament, and around London's public buildings and town halls this afternoon.

Philip, 99, was the longest-serving consort in British history.

Union flags on royal buildings where the monarch is not in residence will fly at half-mast.

The Royal Standard never flies at half-mast because it represents the sovereign and the United Kingdom, and is a symbol of the continuation of the monarchy.
