British Prime Minister Boris Johnson will not be among the guests in order to make space for as many family members as possible, his office said. Charles and other members of the royal family will walk behind a specially-modified Land Rover, which Philip helped design. On its official Twitter feed, the royal family put up a tribute paid by the queen to her husband on their 50th wedding anniversary in 1997.
