Britain's eight days of mourning for Prince Philip has ended today - as the Queen and Royal family continue to grieve following his funeral in Windsor. The country was in national mourning from Philip's death on April 9 until, and including, the day of the funeral. Union flags were flown at half-mast on royal residences, Government buildings, armed forces establishments and at UK posts overseas during the week. Charles was joined by the Princess Royal, Duke of York and Earl of Wessex as they walked behind Philip's coffin – which was carried by a Land Rover Defender hearse he helped design – during the funeral procession. Judi James, author and body language expert, said the royals appeared 'surprised at how hard Philip's death had hit them' during the service.
