Prince Philip The Nation Salutes You — Commemorating The Life And Legacy Of The Duke of Edinburgh

His Royal Highness Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh was only months away from his 100th birthday when he passed away peacefully at Windsor Castle on April 9, 2021. The next day, from 12 pm, across the country and the world, saluting batteries fired gun salutes at the start of each minute, for 40 minutes to mark his passing. The nation came together the following week to witness the final chapter in Prince Philip’s life, as he was laid to rest in what was an intensely personal funeral service, choreographed by the Prince himself.
