Hide AdThe Queen had the difficult task of deciding who should attend the service in honour of her husband of 73 years.
Prime Minister Boris Johnson will not be present to allow for as many family members as possible to be there amid the Covid-19 rules.
The 30 limit rule does not include clergy, and the Archbishop of Canterbury and the Dean of Windsor will preside over the service.
The Queen and Philip’s 10 great-grandchildren – Savannah and Isla Phillips; Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis of Cambridge; Mia, Lena and Lucas Tindall; Archie Mountbatten-Windsor; and August Brooksbank – are considered too young to attend the televised proceedings as all are aged 10 and under.
