From Westminster Abbey, Huw Edwards presents live coverage of the service of thanksgiving in memory of HRH The Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, the longest serving royal consort in history, who died last April at the age of 99.

Featuring readings and music close to the duke鈥檚 heart, the service commemorates the life and legacy of HM The Queen鈥檚 remarkable consort. Members of the royal family and members of the duke鈥檚 family will attend, as well as representatives from the many organisations the duke supported who were unable to attend the funeral, which was scaled down due to Covid-19 restrictions.

Prince Philip supported an exceptional number of causes during his lifetime, becoming patron of many hundreds of charities and organisations championing conservation, sport, industry and education. In 1956 he founded the Duke of Edinburgh Awards scheme to encourage the development of young people, which has since expanded to 144 nations and been completed by millions of young people around the world.

In the build-up to the service, Huw Edwards talks to those attending about the remarkable legacy the duke leaves behind.
