Also present will be his grandsons, Prince William and his younger brother, Harry, who jetted back last weekend from the United States, where he now lives with wife Meghan Markle.

The Duke of Edinburgh -- described by royals as "the grandfather of the nation" -- died on April 9, aged 99.
His coffin will be borne to Windsor's historic St George's Chapel on a bespoke Land Rover hearse which he designed himself.
