London, March 29: Britain’s Queen Elizabeth and members of the royal family will pay tribute to the late Prince Philip in London’s Westminster Abbey.
The memorial is being held a few days before the actual anniversary date. Prince Philip died on April 9, 2021 at the age of 99.
“A Service of Thanksgiving for the life of His Royal Highness Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, will take place at Westminster Abbey,” Abbey’s website read.
The service is expected to be attended by most senior members of the royal family, including the Queen. The event, which is by invitation only, will be attended by more than 500 representatives of the Duke’s patronages and charities, reports The Independent.
The Duke of Edinburgh had a long association with Westminster Abbey. It was there that he married Princess Elizabeth on 20 November 1947, before she became Queen in 1952.
