The modified Land Rover TD5 130 will carry Prince Philip's coffin in a procession at Windsor Castle on Saturday as the queen and other members of the royal family follow before the funeral and interment in St. George’s Chapel. Among other things, Philip asked that it be repainted in dark bronze green, a color used in military Land Rovers. Before he married the future Queen Elizabeth in 1947, Philip, then a prince of the Greek royal family. Land Rover has maintained the vehicle since it was built and kept it ready for the funeral in collaboration with the royal household.
