From ponies to pipes: the personal touches at Prince Philip’s funeral

From homages to his ancestry to sugar lumps for his ponies, the prince's diverse life and interests were marked

From his ponies' sugar lumps pot, to a haunting Russian hymn, the Duke of Edinburgh's funeral incorporated some quirky and historical elements.

A red-topped plastic container was placed on the box seat of his driving carriage. He used it to store the sugar lumps he gave to his Fell ponies, Balmoral Nevis and Notlaw Storm, both present along with the carriage in the castle quadrangle. Next to this lay his driving cap, whip, blanket and brown gloves.
