Buckingham Palace announced that the funeral of the Duke of Edinburgh prince Philip will take place next Saturday at 15:00 GMT at St George's Chapel in Windsor.

Eight days of national mourning will be declared before the funeral, which will be a ceremonial royal funeral.

"While this is naturally a time of sadness and mourning for the royal family and the many others who knew or admired the Duke of Edinburgh, it is hoped that the coming days will also be seen as an opportunity to celebrate a remarkable life — remarkable both in terms of his vast contribution and lasting legacy," a spokesman for Buckingham Palace said Saturday.
