Queen Elizabeth mourned her husband with dignity and stoicism during a funeral service that bore Philip’s touch and celebrated his life and legacy.

After almost 70 years as head of state, the Queen will reign without Philip by her side – a man she met as a young girl and who was the bedrock of her happiness.
