The service will begin with a national minute of silence. At the end of the service Philip will be interred in the Royal Vault in St George’s Chapel. Buckingham Palace said their grandson Prince Harry would attend.Prince Charles paid a personal tribute to his “dear papa” Prince Philip, saying the royal family missed him enormously and he would have been amazed at the touching reaction across the world to his death.“As you can imagine, my family and I miss my father enormously,” Charles, the couple’s eldest son and heir to the throne, said outside his Highgrove House home in west England.
