HM's husband, Prince Phillip has refused a state funeral and instead has opted for a private service at St George's Chapel, Windsor and then will be buried at Frogmore alongside Queen Victoria and her husband, Prince Albert.
The Prince's funeral plan, named 'Forth Bridge' says that he has requested his coffin be placed on the same gun carriage as Queen Victoria's coffin.
As a naval man it's claimed that a hymn of his choice is 'For Those On Peril On The Sea'.
Prince Phillip is the longest serving consort.
The Queen is said to want a state funeral for her husband to be held at Westminster Abbey but he has refused opting for a private one instead.
All major Royals have plans drawn up for their funerals. The person involved is involved with the planning of the funeral. The state funeral of Diana, Princess of Wales used the plan for the Queen Mothers funeral which caused distress to the Queen Mother. However, due to the suddenness of Diana's death, there was no other option but to use it.
