Headline: Preparations Begin For Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh's Funeral

Caption: The Jaguar Land Rover that will be used to transport the coffin of the Duke of Edinburgh at his funeral on Saturday 17th April, pictured at Windsor Castle, Berkshire. The modified Land Rover Defender TD5 130 chassis cab vehicle was made at Land Rover's factory in Solihull in 2003 and Philip oversaw the modifications throughout the intervening years, requesting a repaint in military green and designing the open top rear and special "stops" to secure his coffin in place. 15 Cushions with the Duke of Edinburgh's insignia sewn into place in St James's Palace. The cushions displaying medals and decorations conferred on the Duke of Edinburgh by the United Kingdom and other countries across the world, together with his Field Marshal's baton and Royal Air Force Wings, and insignia from Denmark and Greece, will be placed on the altar in St George's Chapel, in Windsor, ahead of his funeral on Saturday.
